indian summer

some outfits i've been wearing recently, plus a photo of my impression of a seahorse.

everything is either vintage or from h&m. the weather here has been wonderful, san francisco doesn't get a true summer until august but it was worth the wait!

hats off

here's an outfit, pre-haircut, that i happened to photograph the other day while wandering around the Mission district of San Francisco (which also happens to be the best part of the city, which also happens to be where i live)

hat: vintage, MARS vintage
shirt: f21
jeans: cheap monday via buffalo exchange
cardigan: vintage, flea market

reawakening

HELLO INTERNET!

in the past few months i have moved to a new apartment with 

no internet, gotten myself a job, and finished a summer class. but enough excuses! i am back, planning on re-vamping the blog layout ASAP, and excited because i finally feel like i exist in the fashion world once again. Having a regular paycheck and some free time can do wonders for your wardrobe! 

not to mention the fact that i finally took the plunge and 

chopped off all of my hair last week. it was scary at first but i absolutely love it, and the best thing about a new haircut is that it is like the ultimate wardrobe-booster, it makes everything feel new! i have found myself putting clothes  together in different ways 

and generally being more creative and confident. anyway, here are some photos:

Curiouser & Curiouser

my poor blog has been so neglected! this semester has been rough, very busy and distracting. but i'm finally getting back into the swing of things, and hopefully my blog will start looking a bit more lively!

recently my dear friend Amy Nelson, a fellow fashion major at my school, made an Alice in Wonderland dress for a school project - and she asked ME to model it for her! talk about a dream come true. As if there was anything i'd rather do than dress up as Alice and wander around in the woods all day having tea parties!

we took over 100 photos and they all came out amazing, here are just a few:

HAPPY 2009, BLOGWORLD!

ok! so i must admit, i was a horrible blogger in 2008. I could waste your time with excuses but well know you aren't reading a fashion blog just for an earful of excuses SO! one of my only resolutions for 2009 will be to improve this blog! i had high aspirations for it when it started and i know this little blog can still live up to its full potential!

today i bring you some brand new items in my etsy shop!


brand new! red robin's nest headband, there will be more nest headbands but each one is unique and one of a kind!


dewdrop peacock headband, a new take on my peacock headbands, embellished with genuine swarovski crystals!

November

Inspiration for November:

masquerade

i recently stumbled upon Tom Banwell's amazing etsy shop and had to share it with you guys. He's an artist in CA who makes these amazing, intricate laser cut leather masks. and the best part is that they're totally affordable, starting around $35! Personally, i'd kill for the Black Bird Cut Out mask. Now if only i had a masquerade ball to attend...

fall fancies!

recently i custom-made a few puff skirts for the fabulous Michaela at Reflections Of An Urbanite. She was a great customer and even better, she loves her skirts and looks amazing in them! i've been keeping up on her blog and loving all the different ways she's found to style her skirts! here's a few examples of her genius ensembles:

variations on the beige linen skirt:




and the plaid skirt she ordered, which ended up being truly amazing! i love the plaid for fall.



ALSO, here's a great photo of my friend/roommate Amy wearing one of my peacock headbands for her flapper costume on halloween!



pssst, a handful of peacock headbands are currently available in my etsy shop! plus, expect some brand new headband styles and other exciting new fancies in my shop around Thanksgiving!

Hallow's Eve

happy halloween! it is every fashion-lover's favorite holiday, a chance to dress just as crazy as you'd like without anyone thinking twice! it also happens to be the last day of october, and time for me to post some of my October Inspiration!

dark romance, gothic details, smokey eyes, haunting images and lots of mystery.....
