Hair Shot

if i can figure out a way to make the curls stay longer than 2 hours I may not need that mid-length bob wig after all...we shall see.

Took the new old boots out for a ride.

Their bfs are super thick socks - I'm fine with that.

Cafe pick me up yum

and off to meet the parents (they're in for a horse show).

wood

ies (mtvU award show) are coming up next month, I don't even know who's performing this year. I went last year and the year before. '05 fav was def Death Cab (death cab I LOVE U) and '06 was def TV on the Radio (not Gym Class - sorry James I know Trav is yur baby and all - and I agree that he's cute for sure but I'm a fan of TVOTR for their actual music).
Death Cab for Cutie - Soul Meets Body
TV On The Radio - Wolf Like Me

Too many jackets and nothing to wear

I don't own any jackets that I currently love (including the black army I wore during the day). Well maybe I'm into 3 of them, yet I own about 8 ( and that's just Fall jackets not coats and that's not spring jackets either). I surprisingly don't even care, I mean I just am feeling shopping lazy and the thought of searching for a great Fall jacket when I can invest that time and $ into the ultimate winter coat search just seems stupid. So anyway back to the jacket convo - shall I purge or shall I not... I'm annoying.

p.s. I found great brown riding boots today that remind me of the ones I had in 8th grade - traded those brown ankle boats and some other stuff to cover the cost.

Longest Work Week Ever

This is how I feel after the longest work ever...maybe next week will be better :/

Slumpy

Fashion slump yes - but at least I had a good hair week (well the beginning of the week anyways)

Genie Sofa at michaels office

second hand baseball tee and those damn Minnetonka booties that I've worn for like everyday for 2 years!so wanted to let these worn out boots have a rest. But the new leather ankle boots feel like boats. I hate them. Maybe I get black moccasin booties (a lil bit taller) just to get a break from my regulars.

p.s. walking up w.houston (near 6th ave) we saw jeffrey from project runway. 1, yay project runway starts soon and 2, YES, his neck is even weirder looking in real life.

Couple of summer '07 favorites

Justice - D.A.N.C.E. Me: love

J Dilla - Nothing Like This. Me: speechless

A certain music loving person in my life (michael) suggested that I post music that I like on this blog. I'm no longer opposed to the idea- it might be exciting to reflect and see what I was into and when. So anyway, I only chose 2 of my summer loves to post. Months later and I still can't get enough of them.

btw. I just caught the cute Fiest shout out in D.A.N.C.E months and months after listening to it. I'm slow.

Sincerely, Bigfoot

No I'm not dressed as a petite man, this is James. James has a real job, with pink carpets - and they force him to wear biz caz


this is me

I feel like my feet look HUGE in these boots :( They're 8.5 instead of my real size 8, but I was desperado for leather ankle boots and they look so good for vintage. Argh. I think I'm over them already

Holding on for NO reason

no, I'm not 5 months pregnant! just a really bad angle of a very loose shirt. i promise, i swear!
this shirt was suppose be in the purge pile LAST WINTER
the shoes are going too - they feel bulky

Mediterranean Brunch. Yum.

Confirmations

Searching for fleas in the e.v. and came to a couple of very sad confirmations. 1. The Ave A flea is def forever long gone and closed down after 11 years. and 2. Suzette Sundays is closing down next month after 5 years. And now a moment of silence...Anyway, I found Basquiat spray painted on a wall. Aww


walked past a few stoop sales today, courtney got a colorful belt

I got a Mexican looking jumper...guess I'm really into the red and purple thing

Sloppy Uniform

I looked a sloppy mess today. From the wrinkled vintage Lacoste cardigan that's totally piling sp? to the super thick argyle socks stuffed into my oxfords - eww. O, mental note: buy socks that aren't 5 inches thick or knee-highs.

Classic or maybe just boring.

I wanted to wear my black jeans but they're dirty. Not sure how impressed I am with the UES Miranda Miranda look, but whatever.

Ahh 70 degrees isn't exactly Autumn

I'm thinking this purple, deep pink color works on me...maybe it's the SUPER DARK tan I still have from Mexico.
Too tired to put my flats back on - just got home from Montclair for my step dads bday. I'm sleepy.
p.s. happy birthday Courtney.

Autumn has indeed arrived.

My new (new to me) vintage camel blazer. weeeeee
Fall is in the air. Time to switch over to my plain jane second hand gucci compact bag. My beloved tan leather bag that I wear EVERYDAY came from some German online thrift store that I can not remember for the life of me. Such the ongoing frustration.

Embroidered

Vintage embroidered shirt that I have learned to enjoy.

And the almost 90 degree heat continues.

Flip flops like my parents from the 80's - perfectly cushy for long walks in nyc.

Grab your Neon Bible!

Saturday Arcade Fire told us that they wouldn't be back in the states for at least 2 years. Bad news all the way and kinda ironic since Ariel is off to Oregon then San Diego on Monday. She only has a 1 way ticket, so on Saturday I said good bye to a few of my favorites.

btw. my black fake keds from Japan got pretty dirty, but it was worth it.

Vests.

These pics blow. But I love the 60's cream vest that I thrifted 2 weeks ago, it has great gold buttons. I really sacrificed my body temperature by wearing knee length moccasin boots (slouched down real low). Why o why is it still 85 degrees I ask. Plan on wearing this ensemble within the month and will take an accurate picture.


It's scary that I own a vintage sweater vest that could very well belong in Ugly Betty's wardrobe.

p.s. My Tokyo 7 money came in CHACHINGG and I'm going shopping. I want new jeans and black heels. I HATE wearing black shoes except for my ugly tall police boots but I need an actual black shoe (not a flat & not a boot) to wear with tights.

Peeling like crazy. Gonna miss my tan.

wore this today, open like a jacket with like 2 sheer long white tank tops (white to show my tan off of course) and gray jeans. I love it when you get compliments on something that you've owned FOREVER.

The Locals Call it Playa

Mexico was terrific, been missin it since I left :(
Not too many wardrobe changes to post because it's so hot there that the entire time I was either in my bathing suit or bohemian moo moo type dresses that I've collected over the years. I think I only really had clothes on at the airport.


Why are airports always so cold?


Lizards galore but I'll take them any day over the killer mosquitoes that ATE ME ALIVE.


Not a big beer drinker but when in Rome...


I wonder how much weight I gained there...I ate 3 times a day and loved every single bite.


The pool at my hotel was amazing and I don't use the word amazing loosely. I wanna go back bad.


beach bum all the way. Any original plans I had for the trip were lost after my first dip in the Mamitas.

Closet - yikes!

Digging into eternity (aka my closet) for my suitcase for Mexico. Ended up sorting thru a few foreign items I forgot I even owned. 1 Sell bag down and 1 to go. Thanks for the late afternoon cocktails RD! I've been drunk cleaning ever since. Awesome.

OMG - almost forgot. I'm wearing the dredded old granny uglies that I blogged about on Friday and I LOVE THEM. Can't wait to get my next not so UGLY pair.

Weekend Hustle

Uggh. I can't believe I was back out selling and trading my clothes again all in hopes to get some cash for new Fall lovelies. Today I picked up a pair of low heeled tan oxfords that seem to be ridiculously comfy. I don't remember the name of the shop but I will be a regular. Adorable gay boys working the counter and comfy cute shoes. I'm addicted.
