I’m still at home and will be for the foreseeable future. It’s robe time like it’s never been before (yes I know I have 500 robes already leave me alone). First, in a category of their own: it’s time for bishop’s sleeves. I honestly think I’m going to buy one of these from The Rack […] Read more…
As someone who is chronically single every February, I’ve never before felt moved to do a Valentine’s Day editorial for Sweet Nothings. I generally have a lot of resentment for a holiday that makes romance compulsory and often creepily patriarchal.

I looked for big colors, statement pieces, lots of sparkle, classic burlesque and showgirl shapes, and vivacious trims and embellishments. Red is of course considered the color of passion, but there’s no need to ignore other colors and […] Read more…
When we were in the planning stages of last month’s tea party-themed collaborative shoot, I volunteered to make some treats to set the stage (and to snack on, obviously).
