So I made a vow this summer to not give in to the slump of jeans and t-shirts that I have fallen into years before.
The summer of 2009 would be of fun dresses, cute shoes and maintained hair.
And then I realized why I had worn the jeans and t-shirts. I bike. Biking is a true lifestyle [...]

Mini Fashionista Friday: Classic Leggings
Posted in Mini Fashionista Friday, tagged alison, childhood, Mini Fashionista Friday, oversized sweatshirts and leggings on January 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
My mom had a friend who was an amateur photographer, and she would sometimes con us into photo shoots in her studio. Here, I am rocking what was my preferred look from 1989 until 1993: the oversized sweatshirt with the leggings and the big socks. This is actually a more demure version of the look, [...]
Mini Fashionista Friday: DYI coziness
Posted in Mini Fashionista Friday, tagged childhood, homemade, Mini Fashionista Friday, photos, pink, robe on December 5, 2008 | 2 Comments »
It’s Brook’s turn this week, but she’s stuck at work away from adorable pictures of herself, and I’m self-absorbed, so here we are.
I guess a robe doesn’t exactly count as an outfit, but this was one of my favourite things when I was little. It was soft, cozy, and pink-striped! My mom made it [...]

As if my hair needed to be any bigger. It was the late 80s, and hair was big, especially in suburban Tampa, where my cousin Randy was a teasing comb-obsessed teen. I was 8. At the time, I didn’t approve of the liberties she took with my already unmanageable mane, but in retrospect I should [...]
Mini Fashionista Friday – Pink sweater vest….thing

In the name of Mini Fashionista Friday – I present my first submission; the pink velvet sweater-vest …thing.
The year should be about…1980…ish. This is an example of my fun and business look. I think my Mom liked to dress me up as a 1970’s sassy lawyer sometimes. Little pant-suits and little sweater-sets – this was [...]
Mini Fashionista Friday: The Cherry Dress

Fashionistas like Brook and myself are born, not made. (Ha! Just wait until we get to the patterned leggings with the oversized sweatshirts. HAWT!) So every week we’ll treat you to the styles we rocked way back in the day!
My favourite dress (after the Nirvana dress, of course). I’ve yet to find the grown-up version [...]
