Style Profile--Kayla

My good friend Kayla came to town and stayed with us for a few days and we decided to take some outfit pictures. 

She has a great sense of style and isn't afraid to express herself.  She doesn't try to fit any kind of norm, but goes for things that inspire her, that she can appreciate on an aesthetic level.  She's not afraid to be ironic and have fun.







Kayla enjoys a lot of ring action!


And she has one of the coolest cigarette cases I've seen in a long time.





You may remember this blazer from here.  I lent it to Kayla to play around with and I love how the same garment and can work for two very different women in very different ways.



More ring action and some major bracelets, but the crochet vintage purse gives this a bit of sweetness.



According to Kayla if you're going to wear skull jewelry, then you better bring it the f*ck on! Skull necklace AND earrings.




After our outfit shoot we decided a beer was in order:


As you can see Kayla uses jewelry and accessories to create her unique style.  For the most part she wears leggings and dresses, but she always makes them her own.  As for me, I was a sorry sack during our photo sessions and just wore clothes!!!!!


Not the most glamorous I know, but I was in photographer mode on this day.

  1. Great style! Your friend reminds me of the church ladies I would see on Sundays when I lived in Detroit. They would go by wearing bright dresses and the most over the top hats you could imagine, they put fascinators to shame. I would have looked ridiculous in a hat like they wore but they looked fantastic. They were so cool. Like your friend's style, you have be it to wear it.

  2. I like that Lisa, "You have to be it to wear!" That could be my new mantra.

40 Year Old Cottagecore

  dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids.  I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that.  Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns!   Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans.   Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please!   Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast.   Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut.  Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton .     What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years...  FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!   ...

Rent the Runway Wedding Vote

I may be on vacation at the moment, but I'm thinking of the future, in particular the wedding I'm attending back home next month. A ton of high school friends will be there. Some I am dying to hang out with, while others I'm hoping to make a bit jelly... Regardless, an outfit is required. I mentioned the idea of wearing a summer suit in this post . But now I'm feeling more of killer-blow-them-away dress.   I'm also thinking I may have to call in the big guns and utilize the services of Rent the Runway .  1.   Elie Tahari   Love the pattern here. The user reviews & pics lead me to believe this will be quite flattering on my body type.     2.   Kate Spade   This is so groovy and I love the use of a statement necklace in this look. But, I'm wondering if I'm not attracted to the overall styling of the picture for the website or if I really like the dress on its on.     3.  Milly ...
