Garden Party for Two


When my eyes grazed over it, I knew with all the resembling Astroturf glory that it was a rare attempt at love at first sight… seeing as I nearly atrophied to this jacket’s brilliant oddity. Lounging among the masses of a local Goodwill, its ugly duckling-ness screamed audibly from a corner rack. And somehow, I couldn’t stomach the thought of not having this delicious vintage piece readily socialize with others in my closet, my fashion lair.

In the vein of such a verdant forest quality and prickly green panache, the (very nearly) funky charisma hit a sweet note and the formula just seemed to work. In all fairness, albeit much to my chagrin of lusting after yet another wardrobe affiliate, unless some other peculiarity strikes a chord, it will perpetually remain… The Grass Jacket.


Boots, Nine West. T, F21. Cutoffs, DIY.

No animals were harmed in the making of The Grass Jacket.

I love your fur, your 9west boots and your shorts. Can't believe we own the same tee? How amazing. You look gorgeous as always.

PS: Whenever I see the opening sequence of SATC I think of you; tutu and all. Your Mom is so talented. I want one just like that so very much!<3

Hello there fabulous lady!

Diggin' it - That jacket screams "I don't take anything too seriously" which is so my approach to fashion!

Its so odd and unique that its bound to cause some love/hate controversy. And the fact you've christened it....awesomeness.

Oh, and I can't believe you're following my blog! Very flattering indeed....
love the jacket :)

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)

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
