I'm super excited to announce a new project I'm working on with my friend Eva Goicochea called Reed. When this blog started in May of 2010, we weren't exactly sure who the tomboy of the 21st century was, or what she wore, where she went, or who her role models were. I'm proud of the exploration we've embarked on and the findings we've come back with. Reed will be a shopping destination and the new home of this blog (the blogging will continue) and other cool things that will launch in the new year. We know an online shop isn't reinventing the wheel as it relates to the current retail landscape, but I'm hopeful that we're putting together something really special and unique that will particularly serve you—me—us, in a way that other shops don't. Just like Tomboy Style, our goal for Reed is to search out quality, authenticity, adventure, and style and share it. More excitement and more news in 2015, but for now if you want to sign up for updates, please do: Please join Eva and me on the diving board before we jump in.

SCENE | Departures & Arrivals

When we think of air travel in the 20th century, stylish images of well-heeled passengers flood our minds. Today, when I think of air travel, I immediately think of dressing strategically. Here's a look back at some tomboy style in the departure and arrival terminals decades before TSA had its way with our outfits. And in case you missed it: the Tomboy Style x Paper Chase custom luggage tags based on airline tags of the 1960s.

UNIFORM | Duckworth
The first time I heard the phrase sheep-to-shelf was in conjunction with the new outdoor clothing base-layer brand Duckworth out of Bozeman, Montana. There's "assembled in the U.S.A.", there's "made in the U.S.A." and then there's Duckworth—"grown, spun, knit, and sewn in the USA." They're the only wool company with its entire supply chain inside the country. From a sheep ranch in Montana to a mill in South Carolina, you may think this company is old-fashioned for the sake of it, but Duckworth is not group of luddites, they are about innovation and new construction—their goal isn't a certain look or aesthetic, it's to simply create the lightest, warmest fabrics in existence. Consider me converted.
