As I was getting dressed to go see a pile of rocks that I can only imagine came to be by aliens, I figured I should wear an outfit nearly as perplexing. This patchwork, denim-on-denim look was perfect from the…
Full Bloom
Spring is finally upon us meaning we can start to see the emergence of buds poking through the once barren branches that occupied this Parisian winter landscape. However, that didn’t stop me from my sporting my cropped ASOS sweater featuring…
Bonjour, Paris
From Barcelona, we were off to our second trip – Paris! Over packed and overly excited wearing my new vintage sweater purchased in Barcelona, Sam and I boarded the Euro Star ready for a trip filled with Chanel, escargot, and…
Day & Night : Barcelona
Part two of our Barcelona adventure included brunch in the city, flea market shopping downtown, gourmet burgers by the beach, a surprise stop for jewelry shopping, and chupitos con fuego (shots on fire!) at night. We were definitely busy soaking…
Butterflies in Barcelona
Barcelona left me missing the sunshine and days where layers upon layers weren’t necessary. But I didn’t have to leave everything behind. When strolling the streets with no particular destination in mind, Sam and I stumbled upon a small store…
Barcelona Blues
After a two week hiatus, or should I say holiday, Manic is back home in foggy London with many new stories and fashionable looks to share. Our first stop in our three country, two week tour, was the mas bonita…
Barcelona, Meet London

If you haven’t noticed, I’m mildly obsessed with wearing trainers with everyday outfits, so long as it looks good. And of course, as long as it’s done right. I love the juxtapose it can create between something so sporty and…
“Do I Contradict Myself? Very Well, Then, I Contradict Myself.”
As soon as we arrived in London I noticed something special about the city beside it’s obvious beauty and fast-past attitude. It clashed every which way I looked. From century-old buildings neighboring brand-new buildings, the city was filled with contradiction….
Embroider Me
Black dress, check. Now what? Everyone needs that perfect LBD to wear on nights out, but they can also serve as the perfect base for layering to create unique looks. Add tights, add sweaters add belts, the creative possibilities…
Fur Function
Sometimes when I wear my fur jackets (yes, plural) in California, I feel a little silly. It’s get mildly cool at night, but nothing so outrageous that fur seems necessary. But I don’t really care for necessity most of the…
London, Eye Love You
We have arrived! Manic has officially taken London. Day two in this beautifully windy city had Sam and I surprisingly not too jet lagged and ready to explore! We found ourselves at The London Eye, Parliament, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey,…
