I just got back from another great trip to Santa Fe with my good friend Gus as my tour guide. I’ll have more to share about some local collectors and makers in the coming weeks, but in the meantime wanted to show how my packing list from last week played out. […]
What I Wore: Exploring Paris
I had a great time relaxing in Paris earlier this month – I spent the week walking the city, eating and drinking with friends, and exploring the many opportunities that the weak Euro offered. I didn’t pack that much so my outfits were pretty simple, and this one was probably the one I reached for the most – denim, oxford shirt, and a flannel sportcoat. […]
What I Wore: Sleazy Summer
Although we do seem to be creeping back to “normal” life in recent months, the tailored portion of my wardrobe has remained deep in the recesses of my closet. It has nothing to do with my enjoyment with wearing it – I still quite like that part – but, as with everyone else, the opportunity […]
What I Wore: Gringo Gulch
Although I’m not exactly built for tropical weather, I must admit that it’s pretty convenient that I can fly to Mexico in three hours from San Francisco – that’s half the time it takes me to get to New York City (where I happen to be headed next week). I was able to take a […]
What I Wore: California Cowboy
The Bay Area had a brief taste of autumnal weather this past weekend, and I took full advantage of it by wearing a few of my favorite casual pieces. Although I have yet to go “full workwear” with my wardrobe, my Western-inspired garments have been a core part of the rotation for these deeply casual […]
What I Wore: Quarantine, Day 90
I’ll be honest – I haven’t been in the mood to write lately. Processing everything that’s going on in the world is hard enough as is, and going through this lockdown alone has made the changes particularly intense. Writing about clothing just hasn’t felt important with everything else that’s happening. But as the initial shock […]
What I Wore: West Coast Winter
I spent most of the past week doing one of my favorite things – hiking through the damp, foggy forests of the Willamette Valley. It’s a pastime that I took for granted when I lived in the Pacific Northwest and now have come to miss dearly due to my city-centric lifestyle. I tend to overpack […]
What I Wore – Santa Fe
I spent most of last week in New Mexico, visiting my good friend Gus. We looked at a lot of vintage rugs and jewelry, ate a significant amount of food with chiles on it, and drank a few margaritas at 7,200 feet. Santa Fe is a funky, artsy, town with some wonderful history and a […]
What I Wore: Heat Wave
San Francisco has been unbearably hot for the past few days. While summer temperatures hovering around 100 degrees may be common in many parts on the United States, it’s exceedingly rare here. And what makes it exponentially worse is that the city is wholly unprepared for it – nobody has air conditioning, restaurants have to close because the food spoils, the power goes out, and more. It’s not great. […]
What I Wore: Portrait in Jazz
Styleforum recently re-introduced their Friday Challenge, which is a weekly competition for members to dress in a theme and win internet points. I generally sit these out, but this week had a theme that I couldn’t help but try – emulate an album cover. I decided to throw my hat in the ring, and this is the result. […]
