Warm leatherette

I'm a sucker for a soft leather bag. (Some new things in the shop)







And I'm loving a bold, bold lip. My latest color is a purple-fuschia, but I like this brick red paired with spidery lashes.




On an echo-y guitar note, I saw these guys live, last week, and they smacked a silly smile on my face. >> Gauntlet Hair

I'm thinning out my accessory stash, and moving some super cute, kawaii pieces from the collection. I loved wearing these mixed up with my ethnic beaded and wooden necklaces. So cute, and kind of boho/nu-ravey. New in the shop!

Summer is channeling easy days. Been thinking of early 80's neutrals in natural materials, paired with a smattering of color and metallic touches -- always with that boho feeling. Some new items in the shop.

Pattern play

An uneventful thrifting day threw me a bone, and turned up this very boho, yet very 80's, leather purse. I'm a sucker for shiny things, and the burnished metallic bronze finish over the stamped faux snakeskin was pushing my all my buttons.

I can imagine pairing this purse with a myriad of pieces: a fringed boot, a tie-dyed tshirt dress, a rumpled oxford shirt and dark denim, circa Brooke Shields in Calvins (see below). I think it works here against a cotton African print batwing jacket. Pattern play, texture and volume.

Hats Amazing!

I was thrifting one very hot day, and stumbled upon a slew of deadstock cotton baseball caps from a company called "Hats Amazing." Hilarious name! Like those funny shop names for hair salons or pet stores -- "Safari, Adventures in Hair" comes to mind.

Anyhoos, the prints were totally 80's, totally funny, and I had to pick up a few. This one gives me that Wham! x 80's surfer Jimmy'Z x cheezy Bali tourist feeling. Remember George Michael with his short shorts, long-sleeved surfer t, sun-streaked hairdo in the Wake Me Up video? Yeah, like that.....

Tribals & Tribulations

Of my many vintage/thrift vices, I have a serious weakness for ethnic or tribal jewelry. If it looks and feels and tastes like hands were busy piecing the thing together, I have to have it.

Now my collection is swelling with pieces I reserve for looking at more than wearing. You know how that is? You absolutely love something in your wardrobe, but really enjoy just admiring it. This beautiful necklace is such a piece, and now it's time for me to tearfully say bye-bye.
