Of the past and future marvel

After restlessly muddling through the closet (lather, rinse, repeat), trenching a pathway that seemed almost dreamlike, I rescued this wild 80s dress from the valley of the shadow of massive amounts of… stuff. It’s inexplicably what I imagine Wednesday Addams would find as enticing as Girl Scout cookies made from real girl scouts.
But the elements are so unapologetically ingenious that it’s virtually impossible to spotlight just one aspect when they all seem to belong to one another. And as much as I contend the notion when everyone starts suggesting poodle perms and crimping, I think I’ll stick with power puff shoulders and bandage lace for now… never mind that Psychedelic Furs was blasting in the background of this set.
Currently: Heading out for some last minute Christmas shopping.
Wishing everyone a beautiful holiday! xxx

That dress is insane. I love it. I would steal it from you. In a heartbeat. Infact I've choreographed the sequence of events. And I hate to say it, but you lose ;)

Okay, all jokes aside I adore this dress. Its all kinds of fabulousness and your perfect pocahontas hair does it all kinds of favours.

Loveeeee.

Miss you, hope all is well in your world and that you are having a great Christmas and silly season.

Look after yourself beautiful girl.

OMG this "ideally in harmony with your jet black mane" Dress naturally seems MADE FOR you Dear Bella, AND I especially like the way the sheer details tend to eroticize your arms' appeal !!!

I consistently think that there is something about your jet black hair that makes offbeat vintage pieces like this so much cooler. Not sure if I could pull if off, but it looks stellar on you!

The sleeves on that dress are my favorite part...they're so beautiful, and you pull everything off perfectly! You always manage to find such beautiful clothing that I feel I would look like I was just playing dress up in if I ever attempted to wear it - but you look absolutely chic and beautiful! You're just lovely =)

honestly, i'm not even that reluctant to go for a perm, if you mix it up with clothing that definitely does not refer to the 80's. It could be quite interesting!

Any donation you can make is appreciated. If you are unable to donate, you can still help by sharing this story with your friends and family. Thank you so very much.
Less than a year ago, I became a homeowner of a beautiful, old Victorian built in 1870. A dream come true but recently a nightmare. This was a milestone in my life... and yet now something I'm asking anyone that can, to please help save it from repeated flooding and water damage. Unaware this was a past issue, I'm faced with devastating restoration costs in order to maintain the preservation and integrity of my home's internal and external structure. 
This past week, we received significant amounts of rainfall and the NWS issued flash flooding in this area. Because of untreated damage over the years before I lived here, rainfall continues to pour down/through parts of the roof and pipes as ground water surges in, flooding the inside of my home with 18-24 inches of water.
Winter temperatures are still in the mi…
