I'm really excited about how these pictures turned out, blogging is definitely a learning process. Hopefully they will keep getting better as I get accustomed to showing off the clothes. Thanks for all your comments so far. It's been really encouraging! Today I'm wearing the best power-shoulder vintage blazer, the 80's shoulder pads and metallic threads are so on trend this season I can't believe I found it in a thrift store! The shirt is another thrifted item from the mens section, looks to have been hand tie-dyed (whoever did it, did an awesome job!); the purple velvet pants are 7 for all mankind, shoes are nine west, shades are proenza schouler, and the bag I can't put down is aridza bross. Have a great afternoon!

so gray

It's an unfortunate gray and drizzly friday. I wish the heat and sunshine of the past two days would return for the weekend-unlikely. Found a bunch of fun things today at the thrift store I can't wait to wear including a herringbone coat I will have to do a lot of work on-but all the pockets make it soooo worth it. Today I'm wearing a gray dress from Gap's European Collection, gypsy 05 leggings, frye carson boots (which by the way run a half size big but I couldn't wait for an exchange to wear them lol), aridza bross bag, and vintage faux fur coat/capelet from ebay. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

stuck in a frenzy

My friend and I found this ridiculous gated door in an alley a while back and decided to use it today (which was great since I was busy and in a frenzy all day and didn't have any time to look for other interesting backgrounds. So here is, today's outfit is a vintage dress that I put gold and silver studs around the neck of, banana republic linen sweater, theory sandals, ysl bag (AGAIN), proenza schouler shades, and random belt I used to wear all the time in high school, I hope to wear my entire collection of low slung hip level belts again now that I'm getting a little bored with the high waisted huge belts and even some of my skinny ones.

in the drivers seat

Today I'm wearing a linen men's shirt: thrifted (with the best pockets and side slits), random skirt, banana republic shoes, ysl bag (same as yesterday), ysl shades, vintage belt, and thrifted driving gloves that I cut the fingers off of, and then decorated with prismacolor marker. The design is meant to reference henna designs worn on the hands in India.

its fall :(

I HATE to see summer go. there are already leaves on the ground. I'm not ready for fall! today I broke out the fall colors which are pretty even though I detest the gradual decline in temperature. I'm wearing: random lace top, thrifted rust jumper, 7 for all mankind purple velvet pants, banana republic shoes which you can't see in this outfit-but I put spikes through the sling backs, ysl nadja (tom ford era) bag, and proenza schouler shades.
