I used to think the only way I would be able to leave my home en femme was if I passed. Knowing I would never pass (not that there is such a thing) I thought if I blended in I would be ready to brave the world. I see blending as a... hm, survival method, … Continue reading Silver and Bold

Something in the Way She Moves
I totally heart Natassia Crystal. Her wardrobe, especially her heels (OMG her heels), are always glamorous, she is super sweet and kind. She posts a lot of videos of her simply walking around and showing off her beautiful outfits. She is so graceful and feminine and if she wasn't as lovely and as she is … Continue reading Something in the Way She Moves
Peace in the Garden
"Are you excited for tomorrow?" my wife asked. I shrugged. "Liar", she teased. She was referring to a photo shoot I had the next day. It wasn't a big one, it was for a few dress reviews but they always take a lot of work, and I told her that. I knew I would have … Continue reading Peace in the Garden
Back in Yellow
Once I stepped out of the house for the first time and watched the sunrise on a summer morning I felt that I had conquered something impossible. Hannah was real, I was real, we were living in the real world. I felt invincible, I felt powerful, I felt fearless. I began to think of all … Continue reading Back in Yellow
Spoonbridge and Cherry Dress
When I tell people I live in Minnesota, I am asked one of three things: Have you ever met Prince? (no) Isn't it cold there? (during winter yes) Isn't that where they have that cherry sculpture? (yes) There are few things in my state that are more iconic than 'Spoonbridge and Cherry' by Claes Oldenburg … Continue reading Spoonbridge and Cherry Dress
On Wednesdays We Wear Pink
I don't pay much attention to fashion. I mean, I look at every dress I see and if I think it's cute, I add it to my wardrobe. But I don't wear something because it's in style or trendy. I might wear something that IS in style or trendy, but not BECAUSE it is. If … Continue reading On Wednesdays We Wear Pink
Blue Monday
This was one of those dresses that caught my eye and I wasn't really sure why I liked it. I don't have a lot of blue dresses so I thought it would be fun to add to my wardrobe and for my August photo shoot. I don't know why I was so drawn to it … Continue reading Blue Monday
August Photo Shoot Preview!
This past weekend Shannonlee did a photo shoot in the beautiful Sculpture Garden in Minneapolis. I have always wanted to do a shoot there and thankfully the weather cooperated, but not much else did 🙂 Shannonlee's camera was being silly so most of the pictures we took were on an iPhone. My allergies decided to … Continue reading August Photo Shoot Preview!
Patterns
When I was growing up, I was fascinated and intrigued by the vast options of girl clothes. It was all so exciting compared to the clothes that were in my closet and dresser. It seemed like there was an endless variety of shoes. Girls could wear Mary Janes, saddle shoes, pumps, heels, ballet flats, wedges, … Continue reading Patterns
Fast Fashion
It's amazing how fast a fashion cycle can go. Some things are popular for what seems to be a short period of time, and some things seem to be around forever or constantly making a return. I am not a fan of (most) high-low dresses or maxi dresses but they always seem to be fashionable. … Continue reading Fast Fashion
