Like a shadow, some things lurk. And much as the weekend, mutually quiet and eventful… nothing and everything makes sense when draped in funky sugarplum fairies and twinkling lights. Not our best-laid plan, we being the blithe adventuresses of the family, joined ranks with all those holiday cheermeisters and staunchly faced a teeming shopping blitz. Inextricably, the scheming afternoon wrath of cart pushers, window peekers, road ragers, and zany bargain seekers, was one such lurking moment.
A harmonic hysteria of present-persuasion and shopping grandeur, I muddled through an amusing/frightening mirage, loving the extreme pandemonium… no matter how catawampus it all appeared. But like some freakish optical illusion climaxing a jolly North Pole sequel, its inevitable dusk till dawn tradition leaves me feeble-minded.
So, while hunting holiday gifts and embracing yuletide paradise, I couldn’t help wondering… are we gluttons for punishment or just eager to come out and play.
Who knows, but we had one hellofa time with the camera love child...
I'm taking a moment to send cyberhugs to The Seeker, for granting me with not one, but two blog awards... and Twiggy Mod for tagging me, which means I better get crackin' on the questions! Such dolls, thank you both for thoughtfully thinking of me... I'm such a lucky girl.
Bangles, blazer, and shades, vintage. Snake, gifted. Heels, Jeffrey Campbell. Satin dress, Chelsea Flower. T, Mossimo. Tank, Luxe.

ps: I really like the way your blazer always shapes your sculptural silhouette beyond your chamelonic -and gladly "Bad Girl-esques"- choices of style . . .

ps, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who likes a spot of 'pretend webby shopping'hehe;)
this out fit is really cool! you have such a kick ass style. i love the blazer, i have one really similar that i am living in at the moment, although it is ab it hot here in sydney, and the colour of the skirt just pops.
although you wore those shoes to go shopping? ah! heels shopping! i'm not carrie bradshaw enough yet to do that.... flats all the way. i need to work my way up to shopping in heels i think. i don't think my poor little feet could take it.
you, on the other hand, are fierce with a capitol F. i just love that word. hahaha,.
hope you are well!

and you write so well!
I am loving my gladiators and am thinking of pairing them with black opaques and denim shorts so its inspiring to see how you work the tights and gladiators combo! Love how you anchor it with the blazer and also all your bangles.
As always, I am crushing on your hair! Beautiful :)
How evil is holiday shopping?! You gotta get in, and get out!
