Let me tell you, Enemy Number One to my bank account is Scoutmob – those crazy cats keep sending me to cute DC shops and MAKING me buy things! It’s not my fault!
The latest conquest happened at It’s Vintage Darling, an gem of a store right down the street from where I used to live. I left with this uh-mazing silk dress, in addition to a girl crush for the store manager, Elise.

This blogiversary is an amazing way to track my drawing progress…
Whether you viewed those when I first published them or you are new to the site, I want to reiterate a) how grateful I am for your visit, b) isn’t it crazy how much you can improve at something if you put your mind to it? and c) this website gave me the gift of purpose, and without that I can’t imagine what my life would be today. I’m thankful that I can share something so meaningful to me with you.
PS: I missed my official blogiversary (April 28th) because I was busy yelling the loudest at my brother’s graduation… But better late than never, right?

I’m home for my bro’s graduation from college this weekend…
I go majorly chill when I’m in The Mitten, so I’m referring to this sketch from last year for some sartorial tips. You know, things with a loose crotch, shoes that you don’t have to tie, etc.

There’s another dress I bought at MANGO while on vacation in Spain a few years ago – it’s got an equally scene-stealing back.

I channeled immaculate conceptions (read: virginal flower prints) last year with this outfit.
