Did she learn to crochet, those who don't know me may wonder? No, dear ones: the girl who failed Home Economics in the seventh grade (true story) became the same woman who drove home in tears a few years ago after a sewing class. So when it comes to anything having to do with a …
Meanwhile, in Paris…Round-Up #2 (L’Homme at Pont Neuf)
So we know the Parisians exude a disaffected level of coolness that drips all over the cobble-stoned streets as they nonchalantly move past your wide, touristy eyes. Throw in their natural ability to look like images right out of the latest copy of a French fashion magazine. That said, during our trip, the disaffected, fashionable cool was …

things i currently need #6
The first things I currently need of 2016. *insert celebratory applause here* As always, images below are courtesy of my best friend 4 eva, Pinterest. I need everything about this ensemble.

Fabu Fashion Monday: Poncho, Please.
Let me tell you about the last time I wore a poncho, which was sometime in the early 2000s: quite unnerved by the lack of actual sleeves, I wore it once and stuffed it somewhere in my drawer after ripping it off at the end of the evening. Yes, folks, my name is This Square Peg, …
she’s back.
Is it safe to say that I'm quite happy to have my hair back? I think so. Since saying farewell to the braids a few days ago, I've re-entered the world of twist outs and Bantu knot outs, as evidenced above. Viva la petite (and growing!) fro.

because your Mother is always right.
So my mother hasn't dressed me since I was a teenager, but deep down in her heart, I know she wants to. I would classify my personal style as modern, unfussy, feminine, subtly chic. In other words, I like to look lovely but I'm the lady who won't overwhelm the room with my fashion choices. …
Fabu Fashion #5: Casual Friyay Redux (And a Silent Video)
We've come to the end of our Fabu Fashion Week. After these few days of showing you what I'm wearing, I trust that you've come to realize that: I'm basically a simple gal when it comes to fashion. (Perhaps if I lived in my Parisian apartment and was married to you-know-who during the week, you …

Fabu Fashion #4: The Mod Squad
I'm a sucker for 60s-type mod dresses. I've had this dress for a while and will hold on to it until the seams fall out. It's comfortable enough for these hot, spring-is-now-hijacked-by-summer days that we're experiencing in the Northeast area. I paired it with my mom's shiny flats (she shouldn't leave shiny things around with me …
