Dressed Up Dresser
The top of my dresser is full of little knick-knacks that serve no real purpose besides for decoration. But I do make sure to have a few things that I use on a daily basis within reach, so that I don’t need to constantly take things out of draws and containers and then inevitably forget…

2 Year Anniversary
Two years ago, on May 7th, I began Retrolillies. I wanted to create a place where I could indulge in food, fashion and photography, but I never imagined that I would actually have and maintain a blog for two years! Since then, I’ve learned a lot (like, for example, that flash-illuminated pictures are really unflattering)…

Sweet Memories
Now that winter has really set in (last I checked, the weather was 6 degrees) and the January work onslaught has begun, I’m starting to feel a longing for summer. It’s not just the sun that I crave. I want the careless freedom that comes with summer, too. I keep thinking back to those long,…

A Winter Anthology
Winter, for all its icy coldness and dark nights, is beautiful. It’s a subtle beauty, to be sure. The snowfalls seem endless, the whipping winds, cruel, and everyone holes up in their homes for some sort of respite. But in midst of all that, there is also the wonder of seeing a perfectly six pointed…
