vintaged

I accidentally discovered a vintage store right down the block from me. And by accidentally I mean walked in on purpose and bought three sweaters. But. they. are. fabulous. They're the kind of purchase you don't try on until you get home and then once you finally do, you prance around in them for hours.

I can't find my camera so my power of descriptive language will have to suffice. All three are mens so they're oversized (read: divine with tights).

One is a chunky, off-white cable-knit cowl neck that lay wide but hangs short so it's girth is off-set by it's mini length. Another is a charcoal gray with a blue, yellow and pink assymetrical triangles on it. Also hangs mini. Loves. The last one was I was a little weary buying, but once i got it on it looked amazing. I'm not curvy but it hugs curves and in a good way. It's a short sleeve sweater dress circa the 80s (not a favorite decade but it saw some good silhouettes ). It's made out of this cotton-polyester blend so the texture is sort of a natural scrunch which makes it flexible in length. Obviously i'll hike it up when the mood strikes, take it down on days I'm not so brave.

Will post pics as soon as i find the camera. Until then you'll have to take my words for it.

mood board

within ear shot



my adorable grandmother was never allowed to pierce her ears as a young girl which resulted in a large collection of fantastic clip-ons that i insist on rummaging through every time i visit. and every time i find something new. recently i picked out a set that i wear only on my cartilage kind of like my ear's version of the two-finger ring, adding just the right amount of edge and rock and roll. hardware without being hard.

penny lane



totally inspired by rocker chic lately. i'd be the best groupie.
ain't no shame.

clockwise: aretha franklin hoodie from headhoods.com, bianca faux fur mini jacket from cora boutique, blue sequin mini skirt i think from express, sea monster protection necklace by erica weiner, acne wedges byacne, fish skeleton cuff links, black suede over the knee boots as seen at nitro:licious.


the sunny side of Suno

Suno's 2010 Spring Lookbook make me both long for Costa Rica and wonder why I live in a place with a winter season.




outfit envy


am loving alexa chung's style here at london fashion week. definitely a closet i'd like to steal/live in. 

thinking about recreating with my jcrew blazer from two years ago and the boyfriend jean shorts i bought from amarcord this summer.

found a cool goth charm necklaces on the street in meatpacking in place of her cross necklace. and little black booties?uh-check.

need, want, obssessed

i came across these a while back but never posted. would have made a rad accessory to a superhero costume for Halloween, but
now that that's over, better just make them apart of your everyday alias.
