Completely Gratuitous Outfit Post





What I'm Wearing
* Forever 21 graphic print skirt ...seen here almost exactly a year ago. How crazy is that? I also rolled it up and made it a mini ...hiding the bulging waist with a blazer.
* Vintage blue v-neck sweater. I bought this at a thrift shop when I was 18. No joke. It was vintage then and now I am vintage. lol.
* My favorite black blazer/jacket Bill Kaiserman, vintage as well
* American Apparel stirrup tights
* Noir silver studded rings from Gilt Group mixed with a pave white gold band, D&G watch, also from gilt, vintage belt seen here and dark silver hoops with black Swarovsky crystals
* Tom Ford Sunglasses ...was so excited to see him at the Oscars last night ...but SJP looked so pretty I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
* Michael Kors black open toe stiletto biker boots or {here ...also from Gilt Group but you can get em from the link above. ...seen here yeah, I wore them twice in a row.
* Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick in Sexy
* Hair: Wet, pulled up w/ clip. Was running late ;)
Oh the Academy Awards ...made me sob and sob last night! I'm not sure why ...wait, I'm on my period, that's totally why. But maybe they were more, I dunno, sentimental than usual ...with the John Hughes tribute and all the lovely speeches to the nominees at the end. Man I love Jeff Bridges. However, I wanted Meryl Streep {who looked gorgeous} to win ...just because I love her so much.
Fashion trend of the night: strapless dresses with earrings but no necklaces ...and colored lips.
Happy Monday ..what?!?!? I mean, ughhghghgh, it's Monday again

Happy 34th Baby!

To my wonderfully supportive and fabulous husband who is my best friend in the entire world ...Happy Birthday my love. I love you more each year I know you and would be totally lost without you. I can't tell you how lucky I am to get to share my life with you ...every single day. You are my superhero.

Lazy Sunday: Books & Tea

With all the great distractions in our modern world I find it more and more difficult to make time for reading. This year however, I have vowed to not only finish all the books I've started {which is a handful} but to make room for a few new ones as well.
Thanks to some great advice from a lovely reader {of my blog}, I have been reading The Mood Cure
But when I heard about this new book The Nine Rooms of Happiness: Loving Yourself, Finding Your Purpose, and Getting Over Life's Little Imperfections
So that's what I'm doing for the rest of this dreary Sunday afternoon ...even though I have 100 things nagging at me to "get done", sometimes I need to shut it all out and make time for me ...and today that means getting comfy and cozy, quieting my mind and focusing on a great book, or two.

Raining Cats & Dogs ...& Porcelain



cat: Wallpaper magazine, dog: Laini & Samin
Thursday afternoon I made my thrift store rounds hoping to find something along the lines of a matching set of console tables. No such luck. I did, however, hit the blue and white porcelain jackpot at the Salvation Army ...all of which will soon find a home in our master bedroom.
*I also got a parking ticket for $150 dollars for not realizing it was after 4pm. Thanks LA!

Completely Gratuitous Outfit Post


Proof that I no longer give a shit about underwear lines. I truly am old.



What I'm Wearing
* Green/Yellow Triumph t-shirt ...I've had this shirt forever. A couple of old friends used to make them ...and rebuild vintage Triumph motorcycles as well ...I lost the friends to an ex. Such a bummer, they were good people.
* DL1961 Premium Denim gray jeans {Gilt Group} ...I love these jeans. They are so comfy. ...seen here and here
* Black Victoria's Secret cardigan
* Vintage London Fog members only style jacket
* Michael Kors black open toe stiletto biker boots or {here ...also from Gilt Group but you can get em from the link above. ...seen here
* Tom Ford Sunnies
* D&G watch
* Salvatore Ferragamo bag
I got an email this morning from Flickr saying and image I had posted was in violation and if there were more then my account could be deleted without notification. I gotta say, it kind of freaked me out considering I use flickr to host/hold all my photos for my blog. I may have to make them all private at this point because I'm a bit afraid I'm going to wake up one morning and realized not a single photo on my blog is working ...and not only that, that they are all deleted! I use flickr to store my photos ...meaning, I delete most of them from my computer {but not my iphoto} once uploading. Man I hate that shit. It was a mistake as well. ...from my Gwen Stefani post wherein I included links and all the owner's info beneath the image in flickr and thought that would be sufficient. Whatevs. I'm just worried now.
HOWEVER, I did have an amazing night's rest last night, better than I've had in months, I'd say and I'm willing to bet it's the St. John's Wort I started taking ...or maybe I was just tired. Either way, it sure feels good to sleep well.

* Rope Necklace DIY *

Rope Necklaces from Lizzie Fortunato Jewels {$300}
& Masai Twisted Rope Necklace {£230}



Two curtain tiebacks {$4.99} from your local fabric or craft store and ribbon.





. . . . .




At $4.99 per rope, you can afford to buy a handful of colors and mix them up! It's so easy ...use a sash or scarf instead of a ribbon closure or a chain even. {You could also wear it on your head!} Too easy for words. Have fun!
