Mother thinks the birds are after her

Photos taken from the other day, when the topic of conversation ping-ponged between the 26” elimination of vintage lace required to create a slightly more personalized silhouette, to all the little birds, and from the annoyance of cleaning platform suede to the unusual map of coffee stains on jagged sidewalks. It's not exactly conducive to any real amount of excitement, but you gotta love the completely arbitrary dialogue flowing between two people waiting (caffeine-starved) at the drive-thru window.

Very special thanks to Jasna for my wicked little spotlight post, to Chris for inviting me to be part of the Fashion Jinx Jeans Feature, to Maria for awesomely believing I was cool enough to be included on Chicisimo, and to everyone who so thoughtfully granted me blog awards... you're incredible!

(Vintage dress, Forever 21 ring, Topshop boots)

I love how you have all your pins on your curtains...what a great idea!

Of course, great outfit too!

I love how everything you wear has "trademark" all over it. Amazing.
diane said…
I had to put on my spectacles to see the pins on your curtains better. Pretty impressive display. I do that too, in my bedroom, but my display is more grunge while yours has a victorian flair.
Love the way the dress and boots balance each other. Also love the tribute to Hitchcock.

These photos are delightful ! The shoes and dress are fab and now I really want coffee too!
Anika said…
Oooh bellisima. Such a gorgeous outfit. Love the contrast of the white vintage lace and the black modern platforms. Oh, and the shiny long hair.

And speaking of what electric feel said, there's a thrift store I adore and they always have the best range of wedding dresses. I'm always tempted to buy one and alter it but just can't.

p.s. shop is going slowly....still taking snaps. And being a lazy bugger. You? Cannot wait to see what you've got on offer. Me - LOTS OF SHOES....it's a disease, I swear young lady ;)

Hope you're having a fantastic week.

The whole outfit is on-point!!! What a great find in that lace dress. I saw this old episode of Rhoda on-line and she was wearing this incredible dress and I have been searching for something similar on etsy.com. Vintage dresses have so many nice extras and details that you can't find in the stores nowadays for a decent price.

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)
