tippy toes


With the weather getting increasingly warmer, I’m gravitating towards light and sheer.  Out of my chiffon shirts, this Antipodium blouse is one of my clear favorites.  The print and distinctive collar make it extra special.

Moustache Man found me these Margiela Tabi sneaks at Wasteland a couple of weekends ago.  I rarely wear sneakers, but I just couldn’t resist these perfectly worn in high-tops.  I’m still figuring out how to wear them, but that’s half the fun!

metallica


I’d been shopping around for some metal cuffs this past week.  I considered some from the usual suspects, ASOS, Topshop and the like but decided to get this pair from Etsy.   As much as I love a good ASOS find, these cuffs seemed waaaay more special coming from an independent designer.  Candice was a doll . . . she made a special order for me and even sized them to fit.   I LOVE ‘um and want to wear ‘um all the time.

déjà vu

Moustache Man and I had a full morning, literally.  With our bellies filled with breakfast burritos and Chick-fil-A, we took to the streets on a shopping jaunt.  MM is quite dandy at finding things.  When I came out of the dressing room empty handed, he was waiting with a pair of tabi sneaks . . . he said he just knew they were for me.  Well, I couldn’t argue with that!

GUMBI


Someone once told me I was like Gumbi.  It was the most weird, but most flattering compliment I’ve ever gotten.

Remember when I was feeling peplummy?  Well, this top has made me feel even more so.  Peplum skirts, dresses, pants, here I come!

the ventilator

There’s no denying it.  Sewing leather is a bitch.  Can’t you tell from my expression?  Even after weeks of anticipatory planning, I ran into unexpected problems, had fist clenching frustrations and used a shocking amount of potty language.  But it all came to fruition and I’m pleased to introduce, the ventilator.
