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

Betsy Betsy Boo!

Rummaging through a nondescript rack yielded this 80's Betsy Johnson bodycon dress in great condition. I'm loving the play of gold tinged jewelry set against emerald green and a beach bronzed glow.

Betsy's pieces are always fun, girly, and sexy with a cartwheel kick at the end!

The Boots of Summer

Just uploaded these lovely sh*tkickers to the shop. These boots are giving me a heavy 80's West Coast, dusty Americana, road trip mood. Staring at them against the shiny, white surface reminds me of sandy landscapes across a flat desert plain. Can I get a faded tee and some Henley please?

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.

YES!

The last few seasons of McQueen had left me a bit lukewarm, but the FW 2009 collection is scratching all kinds of itches. I am loving the beautiful execution of the recycled materials, along with the metalwork full face piece with details galore. And can we talk big club kid lips??!! *swoon*

The Calculated Mix

Wow! Italian fashion house MARNI gets better each season. Just saw the Spring '09 collection, which somehow circled back to my love of the "Dries effect" best shown in van Noten's Autumn-Winter 2008 collection. I am consistently impressed with the high level of color, fabric, shape and all-around mixing both these designers achieve.

- Despite the somewhat negative tone of the reporting, I looooooove this!

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.....
