All things ordinary.

Do you ever get nostalgic for a moment when it isn't even over yet? Like when when the weather first changes and the leaves turn, the first time you walk into your silent, empty new apartment, when it's a sprawling Saturday afternoon, and someone great is taking your picture...

Since returning from a recent hiatus, my posting frequency took a while to fully recover, but that moment is officially over. It was hard to keep up with my blog while in the midst of moving -- with no permanent closet space. But I'm now happily settled in my new place.

Though surely, out of the 100+ other members of the fashion-blogging community listed on the right side of this page, many other hobbyists like myself have faced greater obstacles to their pastime than the mere transition to a new apartment.

Fortunately, you can just rest assured that this was the only thing hindering me from having my own creative fun with the internet. I'm happy to be back to putting my style ideas out there, and doing exactly what I want -- and I'm all the more grateful for the awesome, stylish folks who participate in this weird little enclave. Here's to all you kickass chicks, with the guts and energy to keep this crazy place interesting.

On this ridiculously warm day in late October, I eat my words about the passing of Indian Summer with much, much relish.

What better a morning to pay tribute to a few stylishly iconic ladies of the past, who illuminated smoky rooms at even the darkest of hours -- and carried on the glorious tradition of blonde, short haired girls in striped, wide neck tops.
