Dirty Little Secret





While casually perusing the supermarket isles for those everyday staples, I think I briefly lost consciousness when I spotted these righteous tie-dye skinnies crammed amongst a hoard of others like some dirty little secret.

Beneath a storm of florescent lighting, there they were at Walmart (!!), waiting for well-deserved recognition! Extracting reasonable doubt, I immediately implemented their placement into my wardrobe… vacillation need not apply.

p.s. I'm terribly busy with a manuscript deadline, but will be visiting everyone very soon. And for those who so thoughtfully granted me awards, I promise I haven't forgotten... but on the contrary, am working on a special thank you post. xx






Vintage Sequin Jacket... Promiscuous Heels... L.e.i. Skinny Jeans.

Comments

Gorgeous, as always. I loved those jeans, and the shoes, of course!!!

Miss you gorgeous and good luck with your manuscript ♥

Angela said…
okay, i think i've told you this about a billion times but there's no such thing as too much flattery, right?

i am absolutely in LOOOOVE with your writing! seriously, it's so inspiring and your verbiage is so sophisticated i never get tired of reading your posts word for word. and not to mention the hints of comedic sarcasm you include in them as well :D

ps- are you coming out with a book? *coughs* not that i'd be interested in reading it or anything heh.heh. *shuffles feet nervously*
. said…
haha i love finding treasures in random stores!!! great find bella :)
Yes, I posted one of your pictures wearing distressed skinny jeans!! It seemed to fit perfectly into the post I was composing, so I decided to show it. I hope you don't mind! I also wrote some things about you, and your style. People in Spain use to visit other spanish blogs and I think it is very good to visit fashion blogs from around the world!!

I will try to make some post about fashion girls and streetstyle from different countries ;)

Love you!!
xoxoxo
you always look fab!

hi bella!
yes they totally are true to size but i kind of wish i sized up a half size. but nonetheless they fit perfectly!! i scored the last pair on www.you-shoes.com and they the ones that go over the ankle but they sold out within a day! they still have the maroon version on there but it's the boot style in a size 36, which is a US size 6 ;( i hope they pop up somewhere soon cause i am addicted to them and i want more! if i find them i will let you know personally!

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)

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

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)
