Confession: I used to be a makeup junkie. And for someone who doesn’t like a full face of makeup, it got crazy. These days, I go for my tried-and-true basics with the occasional just-for-fun purchase. So, in effort to make useful projects, I made handheld hexagon mirrors… Clearly, my DIY junkie days will never be over. I’m cool with it. …
I’m that girl when it comes to shopping. It takes everything within me to internalize my ramblings about making your own stuff — especially jewelry. Of course, I get that DIY isn’t for everyone… but that’s why tutorials exist, right? For this DIY, I was inspired by the millions of chokers out there & re-purposed an old bandanna. It’s no-sew & ridiculously cheap. Win. …
… Because summer is in full force and I do love myself a good DIY watercolor project. And for someone who tends to wear neutrals and dark colors, that’s saying something. Despite my tendency to deviate toward black, gray, and white… I can’t help but swoon over the way watercolors and dyes blend together. Granted, I …

A few months ago, I shared some words and photos on San Francisco’s gem of an urban garden, Alemany Farm. It’s one of my favorite spots in the Bay Area. You can find the piece at Dirt, a food baby publication by NYC’s Dig Inn. Love love love. xx K
Music festival season is in full force, doubling as prime time to get making and crafting. I’ve been an avid show goer for many, many years; tiny shows in dive bars and basements are some of my favorite things. Yet, I can’t deny the awesomeness of a day-long (or weekend-long) event all about the tunes. …
Here’s some DIY inspiration to cure those Monday blues… BUY: Suzy Wan Deluxe Pom Space Hoops, $25 (Image: Nasty Gal)DIY: Pierce a plain hoop earring through the pom poms of your choice.

I’ve been crafting since I was extremely young. Right out of the womb, basically. There was always a healthy mix of making original ideas and following tutorials. I could spend hours in the craft section of the library or book store —just ask my mother. These days, I’m usually on the production side of things. Most of my …
There’s something about flowers that never (ever) gets old. Maybe it’s their timeless beauty or symbolism of new life. Or maybe it’s the way they exude an unspoken personality that doesn’t need words. Or maybe it’s all of the above. I’ll go with that. Whatever it is, my appreciation for flowers and foliage has increased …
If you follow me on social media, you know all about my “cynical optimism” (as I like to call it). My sense of sarcasm involves things like anti-Valentine’s Day projects and shirts that say “FOODS BEFORE DUDES”. Basically, it’s easy to think that I boycott all things wedding and love. In reality, I’m the total …
