A few weeks back I took a little trip out to Montauk where I spent a lot of time on the rocky beach picking up cool stuff on the beach. Shells, sea glass, driftwood, strange pieces of metal… My pockets were pretty full. I…
Over Christmas, my friend Emily made me this incredible constellation cardigan. (My friend Emily is an incredible painter, by the way.) In elementary school, one of my favorite days of the year was when we had this thing called Star Lab, which was a portable…
These days I am really enjoying working on multiple projects at once. While these projects take a chunk of time, they’re so fulfilling by the time I am done with them. It all starts with taking a little visit to the craft shop or…
Over the past year, I’ve majorly geeked out over making galaxy print clothes. First there was my galaxy print dress, then the galaxy print collared shirt, and then the galaxy print scarf. I’ve tried a few different techniques and they’re all pretty awesome, but…

I’m a big fan of Western-inspired attire– I wear my black cowboy boots almost every day, I hand-beaded these cowboy boots, and I think Montana is one of the greatest places on Earth. When I was making this lariat necklace over the weekend, I…
