I Am Alive

but my laptop isn't! well i'ts very sick...who am i kidding i killed her. And no, i will not reveal how (but yes, sadly - illegal behavior was included). So anyway life without a blog is odd and life without the internet is horrifyinggg. i guess i can try to upload at work but i feel like every entry will be angry if i do that. so it's project save money to take lil apple to the hospital and get fixed. stay tuned people or person :/

and joined his world wind shopping spree in prep for the almighty trip to trinidad. we saw this kid walking on lafayette...
once i saw the LEGWARMERS the camera came out!
james, patiently waiting for me
i'm always tempted to add this this dress to my sell bag but it hasn't made it yet. deep down i like the deer and nature scene on it.

Boring and Warm

sorry for the scary picture with the fake smile. but i need to document how i butchered my bang. the good thing is that i can actually see past my hair after 2 years the bad thing is it's mucho feo.

Turtlenecks and Long Johns

this week is filled with over-sized thermals. i'm freezing

The Whole World Is On Sale

i still love this mexican shirt thing

My New Cocktail Ring

Last Minute Errands For Christmas

and now it's all over

Still on my go team kick

The Go! Team - Ladyflash

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!

Vintage pok-a-dots

i really like small pok-a-dots. want more.

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.

I Miss Music

haven't been to a show in a while :(
The Go! Team - Huddle Formation

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"

my favorite plaid shirt

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.

Feel Better Old Man

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

For Ib and anyone else in love

Peter, Bjorn & John- Young Folks

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 picture
I will not take another pigeon-toed picture
I 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?

Finally got my jacket out of the cleaners

this one

Boylia

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?
