Welcome to my blog! My name is Taylor and I’ve been sharing my style, travels, coffee adventures, and simple moments of joy here since 2010.

Read MoreOh, Coronavirus! The time you have given me to paint! I can’t tell you the last time I whipped up a fashion illustration I actually liked in this amount of time. Three days! Three days of “quarantine,” where I didn’t really leave the house (except to go for walks). Three days that were perfectly busy — filled with work, planning, webinars, computer time, chores….
