Hey there. Been a while. (Yes, this is totally going to be one of those awkward, self-conscious, finding-my-voice-again posts.)
There’s been plenty going on since the last update…
- In my hiatus from blogging, worlds collided. My double life was exposed (i.e., I was outed as a blogger at my day job) when this appeared in the Sunday Globe Magazine.
- I’m continuing work with Zoora (and actually wearing a skirt from their capsule collection here, customized with a waterfall hemline). Gregor is continuing to take pretty pictures.
- Gregor has become addicted to Tumblr. I decided to contribute and occasionally keep up my own.
I think Tumblr is highly responsible for an outfit like this. It’s bright and trendy, almost to the point of irony. Neon high-low skirt! Leopard print denim shirt! Armful of colorful knotted friendship bracelets! I wear all the trends!
…and then I feel silly and cheesy and fall back on my dark, dramatic, monochromatic styles, with a focus on structure and texture (see: this) – until that begins to feel equally unoriginal, and the cycle repeats. It’s the dichotomy within my taste.

At least I’m never at a loss for inspiration. Let’s hope that means more (and better, I promise) posts to come soon.
I really like this outfit, especially the skirt. I’ve been trying to find one myself, I think they’re great.
Thank you! This is my first foray into hi-low skirts, but it definitely sold me on the trend.
welcome back, love! hope to see you around sometime soon ^_^
I was so sad to miss all the blogger events last week. We’ll have to make plans!
Everything that you do is beautiful! I miss seeing your face and accidentally drinking too much wine while talking about writing with you. =( -N
Miss you terribly! I’m still looking forward to reading your novel (and enjoying the blog in the meantime).
i knew i recognized that jacket! missed your face!

Thank you! Thank you! I am so happy to be back (and even happier I haven’t been forgotten in the process).
I’m in love with that skirt! I hope you don’t mind if I purchase it for myself!
Of course I don’t mind! As soon as I saw this one someone else, I wanted it too. I snagged this one fresh off the model at our lookbook shoot, haha.
I saw the Boston Globe thing on Facebook. So proud of my Holls! :) One things calm down for you a little, I want to see you! It’s been way too long.
We need to make plans! I feel like the only time I’ve seen you lately was in your own Boston Globe appearance!
I love Zoora, and that hi-low skirt is such a great colour. The outfit looks nice with the printed top. Enjoy your week. Congrats on the feature!
Thanks so much! The color definitely sold me on the skirt. Have a great week!
