Unlike the time I hemmed a dress so short I had no choice but to turn it into a shirt, this time “short over long” refers to my sleeves.
Which are short over long. Aha!
I’m all over vintage jackets like this one. Especially since big shoulders mean big fun (thank you, Eighties!).
And then there’s my jeans, which can be short or long depending on how I cuff them. Speaking of, how do you keep your cuffs from un-cuffing? Double-sided tape? Iron? Staples? Please share!
It’s true. Or at least it can be. If you pick a pretty little plant and beautiful container to build a tasteful terrarium (sounds so science-y, doesn’t it?).
You can make these (almost) self-contained ecosystems yourself. The best part? You rarely have to water them. Sign me up!

The sweater coat. So comfy. So cozy.
This particular one I initially left the store without.
But then it haunted me. So I returned to Ralph Lauren and made it mine.
The dress, by the way, is the one I reinvented (hemmed) for my guest post on DreamSequins. The world’s other most beautiful invention? A good tailor.
I think this is the most strikingly beautiful (though slightly creepy) marionette I’ve ever seen. In fact, I think I’ll add her to my inspiration board. How could you not love those sleeves?
I found the image here. Thank you, Erin, for the inspiration.
But no rad dad?
That’s too bad.
This time, coupled with my Mountie jacket, my vintage men’s plaid shirt feels much more polished. My jeans? They’re Mynk.
And yet again, I’ve matched my nail polish to my jacket. And yet again, I did not mean to.
I suppose it means I’m drawn to vibrant colours. They’re like a ray of sunshine on a rainy fall day.
I’ve been Snow White.
This year will be no different.
Happy Halloween, friends fiends!

to carve the pattern of this skirt into a pumpkin?
You’d need more skill with a carving knife than I have, but I swear you could make it look almost identical.
My necklace? I made it.
My boots? They’re Kenneth Cole. And they’re exactly what I’d been looking for. Don’t you love when that happens?
Oh, Halloween, how I love you so. The candy, the costumes, the carving (pumpkins). I know I say this about every holiday, but Halloween, you really are my favourite.

And boy is it beautiful, if I do say so myself (my agency designed the new look and I’m just so gosh-darned thrilled with it).
To find out who’s playing when and where next summer, follow Lilith on Twitter. And while you’re at it, follow The Anthology too.
1. Fall’s not that bad (at least the light’s nice).
2. I need to get my similar blue and black houndstooth skirt tailored so I can actually wear it.
