Cinemacabre Movie Night

Every month, Rue Morgue, the magazine my husband Art Directs, has a movie night they they call “Cinemacabre“. This month, the movie was “Street Trash“. A pure B movie, with no character development, but some pretty gruesome gore scenes. Because I was meeting Gary directly after work, I had to make sure my outfit could go from a day of client meetings to an evening that included dinner, the role of ticket taker and a movie.

Starting a new “Wardrobe Diary” section of the website that I am pretty excited about. I have finally jumped on the Flickr bandwagon a few...

Playing with layering

About four or five months ago I started following some fashion blogs, and have been participating in the fatshonista livejournal community. I think I always had a pretty good sense of style but watching how other fashionable women pair pieces with their wardrobe have introduced me to all different wardrobe possibilities. I started posting a few “outfits of the day” over in the fatshonista community and thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to resurrect the use of this...
