i still love this mexican shirt thing
Grannie sweaters are the best
AND in regards to my disgusting office...my goal is to clean it before '08!
Slips
time to grow up and buy slips like a real lady. my dress was static clinging so badly to my uber thick tights that i had to cut a silky nightgown thingy and wear underneath. sheesh!
Can't get enuff of the furry coat
this lady from my job (her name is friday- so cute) asked if i got my shirt from a vintage shop because it reminded her of her something her mom had. i wonder if i'm wearing friday's mom's old lingerie...vintage does float around.
Allow Me To Introduce...
margot, my new best friend. my Fairy Vintage Giving God-Mother, courtney spotted it at a vintage clothing swop this summer and i've been dying to wear it ever since. she's named after margot tenenbaum and her favorite fur coat from the royal tenenbaums, duh. peta friendly and warm (real fur grosses me out - i don't eat meat and i'm not wearing their fur, thanks) - happiness!p.s. i'm wearing the tights we got in LONDON, remember the drama involved court? hehe
Missing Gray Cardigan Found
omg, i wore like 3 layers of long sweaters today. never again - i was way too toasty.
American Apparel Skirt
u can't see it here, but it's the high waist one with pockets on the front
maybe i should clean my office next week
Mainstream is so bittersweet
Get ready to share lil leslie with the world - Feist was nominated for 4 grammys!
Feist- 1234

Kinda forgot I had these boots
wore these for a while then i was over them. maybe i'll start wearing them again. the top part can fold over and they slouch. i remember these boots cracking - like cracking in 1/2 while walking home in the rain :( way too 2nd hand.
Ariel, you went on vaca in the desert?
ariel (my lil sister) lives in sandy eggo right now.
I'd totally live on this sandy hill if I was 6 years old. i want to eat it!!!!so it turns out, ariel and friends were on their way to see their friends submarine race (like a car race but with model submarines) and they stumbled upon SALVATION MOUNTAIN in Slab City (the desert!). A cute lil man has spent the last 25 years creating this "magically quaint" desert art with donated supplies...for god so he says. some "pit stop"
Parisian Flea Market Find
jacket: some people hate it and others love it. whatever, we found in in a flea market in paris a few summers ago.
walk softly
these patent leather honeys are past vintage, they're just OLD. i hope they don't fall apart on me.
OLD winter layers
COLD night on Elizabeth street w/ kurt and Jas maybe 2 winters ago. I never liked wearing winter coats - instead i always layered...happy i grew out of that style. Burrr
Who needs sweaters to stay warm when you have a bunch of polyester shirts?
yyyyy does polyester generate so much heat? YUCK. this one has cute mini sized leaves on it. thank god i layered with something a lil more natural than vintage poly
Cut-out oxfords
blogged about getting these oxfords back in september. i like.btw - im watching last weeks ugly betty (caught up on a marathon recently and i've been addicted ever since) and it upsets me that the papz don't stalk amanda in real life. she proally doesn't put as much effort into her wardrobe as her character does, but can i be the judge of that please?
Meet Gladys
she's the perfect shade of green with purple buttons. i bought Gladys from one of my favorite vintage shops in williamsburg about 5 years ago when i lived there. The hottest lil married couple owned it and i miss them and their shop since they closed down a year or 2 ago. i think the girl's name was paulette - so stylish and adorable. anyways, i wore this grandma coat to death for a couple of winters. thank god i didn't loose it in one of my fung-shei attacks because i still think she's great.
Missing
: long gray cardigan and pink-ish plaid flannel button down.
I've searched my 1 room apartment high and low and still nothing. so annoying!

Hips
really not sure when i grew my mischa barton hips, but a - here they are. i'm sure it's just an optical illusion. haysus.
sorry for the GIANT football player size pic but i need to pay homage to the cute embroidered detail on my vintage jumper that i bought off the street last month. the thing in the middle is a pocket making it the 3rd pocket since it has 2 on the side. gotta love how everything made in the 70's has lovely side pockets!
Flowers
at work, there's nothing better than getting the "you have a package in the messenger room" voicemail. Cause it means flowerrrrrssss! sadly tho, these are not from a boy...just an appreciative co-worker.
Old Dirty Shoes
pulled out my OLD clarks from college (remember these James?) and boy did I forget how they feel like heaven on velvet clouds. 
How Bad Can Work Suck?
so bad that I let Broken Social Scene tix go just to stay home and prepare for work. My professional life is less than delightful - it's just gotta get better soon :( The only real joy in my life tonight is knowing that I'm dvr'n Gossip Girl and the new Project Runway!Broken Social Scene - Lover's Spit
Dressed in all black
I will not take another pigeon-toed pictureI will not take another pigeon-toed picture

OK now that that's out of the way let's talk about my sweatshirt dress that i decided to wear long over jeans today. Well I love it and I have it in gray too!
yes that is the opposite of everything original but when shopping retail ( aka not off the street/in the flea/or thrifting) get 2. i mean how great would it be to have 2 of your favorite shirt or cardigan or jeans i ask.
Played the umbrella game tonight
sounds ridic but sometimes when you get caught in rain you have to play the umbrella game where you secretly find a dry space under a strangers umbrella. This works best with very large umbrellas at cross walks. so anyway - question to self: self, why do all of my Free People clothes seem to look like pajamas?
Everly Bear
Anthony Kiedis named his lil baby boy Everly Bear - and I can't stop falling in love with it. Makes my heart go "awwww". Adding it to my list of favorite names, now I just need to have something to actually name - like a baby or a puppy or something.
I'm still here...
just been caught up in the fog for the last couple of weeks but things are better now. Ahhh life has been more than foggy :( ANYWAYS...if the below emotionally and other nameless things fueled performance is too much for you - please at least enjoy the featured 70's/80's typical reggae wardrobe choices. Y can't all boys dress like this?

My New Favorite Old Shirt
thrifted this a couple weeks ago. Love it - def going into the main circulation. Since the picture is so bad I'll elaborate. It's navy and forest green plaid straight out of someones closet form 1992.
Autum Layers
as I struggled to find something to wear this morning I was reminded of the fact that I really don't have any good clothes right now. It's ridiculous, I squeezed into a sweater/sweatshirt thingy from like 5 years ago. I walked to the train thinking "give it up lady" anyway, I love the Ralph Lauren blazer I'm wearing - I got it from Sal's maybe 4 or 5years ago but I didn't start wearing it until last Fall foolishly.
yay or nay?
this dress reminds me of a russian scarf, that's really the only reason why I think I like it. I had it all summer and I've only worn it a couple of times.
Veggie Sausage Fingers
DB said she has fat fingers so she gave me her new ring. If her fingers are fat than what are mine...sausages? (veggie of course)
40 Bond St.
walking down bond st I was surprised to find this winter wonderland thing. I have no idea why there's an art installation in front of the entire building but I instantly smiled. And as I'm imagining wearing soft fuzzy boots and thick layers drinking hot chocolate walking in the cold city I look across the street and see the CUTEST restaurant that screamed everything about AUTUMN LOVE. It must be a bistro - no other place could be that dim and romantic and perfect. Like how my parents house looks around this time when its dark out and they only have one candle burning in the glass enclosed front porch. Pumpkins and dim lights basically - so great. I'm going, will take a pic to share the experience (if I'm not feeling too cool for school).btw: tonight is another warm October 80 degree-er.
