DIY: Chic Sneaks
Here’s an easy (and inexpensive) way to dress up your tired sneakers for summer.  [[MORE]] You’ll need a pair of sneakers (I chose some purple Jack Purcells), a strong adhesive (I swear by E-6000 which is at any craft store) and some crochet embellishments. I bought these at Michael’s but another option is to cut up a vintage doily or lace ribbon. Before you get to gluing,...

A Surprise on the Streets
While roaming the streets on Tuesday night, halfheartedly paying attention to my surroundings as I gabbed away at the phone, I nearly ruined my new purple espadrilles by stepping in this: I did not see any large dogs or horses around, but when I looked to my left, there was quite a big surprise in the parking lot next to me. [[MORE]] Why it’s a trio of elephants, in town for the...

Q&A: Portland Flea-For-All
How do two folks that worked in film in Santa Monica decide to open a flea market in Maine? Nathaniel: If I were to be philosophical about it I guess I’d say the common thread is that we love to mix the creative with the practical.  There’s a lot of each in both mediums.  If you want me to get real, I’d say I hated working in the entertainment industry and ran as far away from...

Care for Croquet?
I hope to see you all at Victoria Mansion on First Friday as a kick-off to Victoria’s Wonderama - an incredible exhibit of eight local artists bringing steampunk to the mansion. Check out the exhibit for just $5 and have your photo taken by a giant paper moon set up for photos. This could be you: If I don’t see you there, join me on the mansion lawn for some CROQUET (weather...

Fairy Godmother's Closet
Start searching your closets for that bridesmaid/prom/formal dress that you know (deep down) you’re never going to wear again. I took a Sunday drive up to Brunswick recently, to meet with two very young fashionistas, Lauren and Katie Umberhind. They’re the masterminds behind The Fairy Godmother’s Closet, a local drive to collect formal wear for prom-goers in Salem, Maine....

On Bill Cunningham
I finally watched the documentary on Bill Cunningham over the weekend. From a very young age, I was fascinated by street style. Every Sunday morning when the Times would hit our family’s driveway, I would rush out to grab the Style section before my Father could get to it. Bill Cunningham’s column was my absolute favorite thing to read. When I first decided to photograph...
