Vintage Lollipops

A sprinkling of jewelry hands and other (funky/quirky) ornamental holders lounging around my house... It’s impossible to classify myself as the braggadocios type, but when someone feels inclined enough to grant me an award, I am truly honored and therefore compelled to write about it... after the celebratory twirling has ceased, of course. Given that I'd never leave this thoughtfulness unnoticed, very special thanks go out to the following righteous babes for being so damn incredible ! camerafilmroll , ELECTRIC FEEL , Stompface , Pretty Portobello , Babydoll Rage , Matka Polka w UK , MIRANDA'S , Through The Looking Glass , i devour fashion , and Vicen .

Adept to artistic recreation, I wrenched this blue button-down from the retirement section of my closet… evidently, I’ve been on some sort of 007 sewing safari. Sated with a neo-trashy romanticism, its charming DIY imperfection materialized this impromptu photo excursion, even though I should have been working. But from the sun-drenched corners of a museum shop, I rubbed out the shadows of a recent stress purgatory, as the city voice seemed a tangible reawakening. Shirt, DIY (Meadham Kirchhoff inspiration). Satin tap pants, Victoria’s Secret. Bangles, vintage. Heels, N.Y.L.A.

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...

Happy Friday... xxx Vintage faux fur, Jessica Simpson boots, liquid leggings (can't believe I scored these at Target, of all places), misc jewelry (vintage & costume).

There goes the neighborhood... Being sheltered in my den with only four walls and a window view for comfort, I shamelessly craved a bit of social interaction and subsequently fled the domicile. Frankly, I was beginning to feel factory made by the persistent movements of the work grind. Resigning all care into something of the blithe, this slightly impetuous reprieve, which in hindsight manifests some seamless blend of sophomoric jubilation… was the universal tonic I needed. Gallivanting about the midnight streets in ballerina-laden skirts just before being propositioned by the dalliances of a graffiti-faced snowman, we accidentally though almost calculatedly deviated from the planned Weeds marathon. My newest television addiction. Four AMAZING lovelies granted me awards, so with that said, I'm sending out into this incredible cosmic highway, a very special Thank You to Dream and Fantasy (Honest Scrap Award) , tis serendipity ( Proxi Award ), Silje...
