Sample some Dadybones
I’d liken Dadybones to a spiked milkshake. Both offer the sweet whimsy of childhood and the devilish edge of adulthood.

These I love for myriad reasons.…

The Summer Canadian Tuxedo

Wear Your Scarf As A Halter Top
Twas a fine day to wear my vintage scarf from Awoke as a halter top. The sun shone. The birds sang. My back sweat strove to be nationally recognized as a body of water.

Your Skirt Called Me. It Wants To Be A Dress.
Sustainable fashion comes down to quality, but not just of the pieces. It also pertains to the relationship you have with your wardrobe. And that involves seeing potential.

I Enjoy Selva Negra
In the unfortunate event that I’m required to wear pants, I prefer them red, ruffled and leisurely. Years from now, in my bedazzled turquoise rocking chair, I’ll still be thanking Selva Negra for finding me the perfect pair.
