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:

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...

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.
