How To Wear Your BDSM Harness As A Layer of Clothing

This week I’m drawing some inspiration from BDSM culture but not at all in a 50 Shades of Grey way. Also, one of the worst takes on BDSM I’ve ever seen in my life. Honestly, could that franchise have been any more diluted, predictable and utterly generic? Some girl constantly

Soaked in Red & How To Wear XL Band Tees As Petite Women

I was so excited to style this look today simply because I love the band Deftones and love pulling inspiration from music. I also wanted to show petite people how to wear larger sizes yet still have them be fitted to your shape and proportions. This way when you see

I’m In A Blue Velvet State of Mind

I re-watched one of my all time David Lynch films last night “Blue Velvet” from 1986. It’s so dark yet beautiful and even glamorous at the same time. I absolutely love the distinction between it’s title and the subject matter portrayed throughout the film. Velvet as a textile itself is

In My Mind I’m On A Picnic & Why You Should Mix Prints More Often

90’s Pleather & Sweater Weather

Thicker fabrics are such a staple when the temperature drops below 20 in the desert that is Baja California. Another thing that has become more frequent is pretty insane climate changes at a rapid pace. This week for example we had wicked winds up to 20mph in my area and

Leopard, Leather & Easy Rider…

This week I didn’t actually pull direct inspiration for my look from any one place in particular. More of an anti inspirational look if you will. I just really wanted to blend Leopard print and Leather together and make that look seamless. In this case faux leather that looks really

Channeling My Digital Librarian..

The Library is open! I finally get to say that in the correct context after years of binge watching RuPaul’s Drag Race. This week I pulled inspiration from one of the simplest places. Libraries. I used to spend a lot of time in them in the early 2000’s before I
