Spent part of a drizzly afternoon wandering around Eastern Market with Ashley--- we were looking for a place to fill our sudden cupcake craving (which for me is like, uh, all the time).  Sadly the place we were headed was closed Sundays (what were they thinking?!) so I ended up at my soft spot, Sticky Fingers Bakery--- everything on the menu is vegan.  Normally, I'm scared of ingredients that pose as meats and cheeses (that would be a grilled "Daiya" cheese sandwich with tomato and tempeh bacon), but owner Doron has everything just right. 

So because it's vegan, it's okay to eat five cupcakes at once, right?  

Ok good just checking...

Personal style blogging has taken a back seat these past few weeks to more exciting pursuits like, oh, being glued to Photoshop all day long and editing for the online store/ figuring out how to print out shipping labels in Russian. No complaints here! It's been a lot of fun experimenting and learning what works and what doesn't work--- we have a lot to learn but have taken leaps and bounds from the sophisticated sheet-duct taped-to-the-wall photoshoots. (And then the sheet would come untaped and blanket the model like a cartoon ghost...good times!)

Had the chance to do a little DIY distressed denim with Waverly and Micshi using vintage high waisted jeans and lace table cloths--- I love the end result!  Expect to see more of these soon. Also, take heed: These are not to be worn during business hours! I racked up quite a few marriage proposals and puzzled looks when I went to lunch with Ashley while wearing these--- I'm not trying to say I'm ridiculously good looking or anything, people just aren't used to seeing this much leg in busy sectors of DC (unless it's Halloween). I will continue to pretend we're in California...

We have been updating the store everyday with new goodies--- here's one of my favorite neon floral fishtails!
