I wouldn't call this a full-fledged return to the internet... but maybe it's the start of something close. Stay tuned & shake it to Marky Mark in the meantime.

Rooooxanne! (to red dress or not to red dress)

Last week, while hunting for a (wildly unnecessary) new dress to wear to a family event, I very nearly brought this baby home.

Very bright, very red. While it didn't make the cut because of some styling & workmanship issues (typical H&M crapshoot), I keep thinking back to it, now days later. Mama wants a red dress!

What are the rules for sporting such a KAPOW! garment? Can you wear it during the holidays without sparking a Santa Claus association? Can such a dress ever pass as even vaguely casual? So many questions!

02 // Bedroom inspiration

Don't tell my mom, but I've been snoozing sans bed frame for a few... months. Yes, months, plural. The mattress just lives, y'know, flush on the floor. What initially looked "cool" and felt vaguely Japanese has become simply, unmistakably gross.

Now, I'm jazzing myself up for a grand slam bedroom makeover. Step one? Scour the internet for inspiration. Feels like window shopping, but with the added benefit of maintaining butt-to-sofa contact. Maybe a theme will flesh itself out, eventually. Here's are some of my favorite images found thus far.
