Home for the Holidays

Santa Baby,

I realize you've been particularly busy, what with the elves bogarting the majority of your time with notorious marshmallow fights and the sudden reinstatement of hot chocolate… not to mention those other precarious activities involving one sequestered sleigh bell. Let’s be honest, Dondor throwing his back out during that impromptu flight simulation and the sticky candy cane incident with Blitzen no one’s talking about, certainly has caused a rift in your mission-provoking schedule. But if you'd please FedEx/USPS/UPS the following items to my Christmas tree this holiday season, I’d genuinely appreciate it.
Obviously, I've been exceptionally bad… I mean good and only moderately naughty this year... a few misdemeanors, bar fights, F*** you slip-ups, madcap coffee addictions, and obsessive online shopping-revelry certainly doesn’t warrant a stocking full of coal, right.
Anyway, Santa, without appearing overzealous, there’s no time like the present to mention that I’ve attached my 13-page smorgasbord for your evaluation. With yuletide bliss looming, I’ve bullet pointed, highlighted, and earnestly emphasized in alphabetical order my Christmas must-haves… but feel free to transport my wish list at your earliest convenience.

Xoxo,
Bella

Peace, love... and Merry Christmas!

I know everyone is saying it but I will just tell you again, that vest is killer! I want to wear something like that for new years with black sparkle leggings and my high pin up girl Anna Sui shoes. I have six days and counting to find it:)

I agree, I felt a tad colorless with the look but at the same time the bag kind of counts, no? I adore your look here and always adore your visits to my blog. I enjoy reading what you have to say. :) Your boots- you wear them so fabulously well. I need to rock mine again. You've inspired me. ;)

HAVE A HOLLY JOLLY, MERRY CHRISTMAS and keep things fashionable and lovable! :)

your outfit looks.. beyond fierce! I love it.. the chains... the ferosh boots.. to die for. However, your letter to santa just gave me the giggles.. although, Im sure he would appreciate the fact that you bullet pointed, alphabetized and highlighted your must haves.. even though its 13 pages to go through. (lol) I met Santa on the 24th.. I shouldve asked him what he thought of your letter! hehe..

Anywoo, Happy Holidays Dear!

I love the location where you shot the photos..

Gunmetal Laces

The hillside was far more treacherous than it actually appeared, and even though I didn’t foresee clambering up and down the jagged terrain… my 8-year-old nephew (among others in our brood) got a real kick out of thinking I was some sort of neophyte Pink Power Ranger. Pity I left my blade blaster, metallic armor, and spandex suit at home. Not sure about spandex, but if you and all your friends want to start your own gang of crime fighting superheros, you'll need some matching outfits... something stylish of course.  (RTBU sweater, Topshop skirt and Emma Cook boots)

The Carousel Ride

A little storytelling... A modicum of silence swallowed the room as dusty shards of sunlight patterned the multicolored carpet. Decorated with an army of garish jewelry, everything jingles, almost intentionally, as the woman perched behind the large candy counter brushes invisible lint from her blouse. Her silvery hair is the color of cotton candy. She offers a genuine smile before shifting her gaze downcast towards her slender hands. Briefly, she examines their delicate surface that is creviced by time and wiser than yesterday. At four quarters per ride, it was a small price for six minutes of uncontaminated childhood reminiscence to sweep the memory warehouse. And while we kept the company of an epoch 1920’s carousel, 60 handcrafted horses, and funky reindeer, we went round and round, faster and faster… letting it take us to those secret places we almost forgot existed. --Bella H. p.s. In lieu of those who have so thoughtfully given me awards and spotlight features... YOU'RE AM

The Writing Wall

 Affronted by a (practically) nonexistent warning sign, the weather-beaten plastic dangling idly from a nearby telephone pole, clearly stated, Private Property . Even though our previous attempt at this location resulted in a prying patrol car… the graffiti mural, a derelict carcass of a once prominent amusement park, was obviously too wicked to pass blindly. Sprinting around with certain schoolgirl giddiness, the ridiculous amount of camerawhoring was starting to feel like some new Olympic sport. But before finally fleeing the scene, we noticed the black and red letters smeared across the far right side of the building that perhaps claimed an excuse to previous visitors. ' The Devil Made Me Do It' . Disturbing to small degrees, it did seem outwardly apropos to our deviant trespassing acquisition… our forbidden spray paint entertainment. (Vintage sequin butterfly shirt, Betsey Johnson tights, F21 skirt & jacket, Bakers fringe boots)
