one step at a time...

so..... a new vintage store opened down the street from me called "used".  it is amazingly organized and inviting.  Of course I had to buy something.  It is reasonably priced, but priced high enough that I won't be trapped there once or twice a week. =)  They had this "ivory" ram head/skull thing that I wanted to buy and make into a necklace... but I don't think it is actually ivory... it looked like resine that MAY have been mixed with ivory... but it looked like it had drips.  anyway, dude told me it was ivory, but probably because he was told.  I would have bought it if he didn't say it was ivory or if it actually was.  it would feel like I was wearing a lie... even if I didn't pretend it was........ anyway, I bought this portfolio and bolo necktie/watch thing!  yay!

pretty nifty, right?!  well, now I have to go get a watch battery.  another thing on my long lists of "to-do"'s... yay.

while I was shopping...

well, I wasn't really "shopping"... more the internet equivalent to window shopping....!  (insert clever made up word of choice joining internet, window and shopping or whateve).  ANYWAY, I was looking at the site Lookbook.nu and there was an ad for Pixie Market there and it featured a boot I could only assume was a Jeffrey Campbell creation because I instantly had to find it online and stare at it!  Only... I couldn't find it.... not the pixie market site.... no where.  BUT I found this dress I like, but can't justify buying.  but if I had a need for a dress, this would be it.   

AND this dress is featured with the freakin boot I want!  bah!

I googled variations of "jeffrey campbell western"and came up with various blog showing different colour combinations of this boot... but none actually linking to a site to purchase said boot!  arrrrrg!!  I have always loved cowboy stylings and even originally had thought of naming my etsy shop "cowboys and indians". In short, gimme.

A Net, uh Probably to Catch the Males.

I like to call this one:  "candies for cuties"

That "netted" dress is surprisingly Jean Paul Gaultier meets Christian Lacroix.  The shoes have a pretty awesome heel too!

Mr. T was ahead of his time in street fashion wears.  He was the original Street Fashion photographer/videographer/videoblogger:

Happy Dad's Day!

Spring Time Resolution: in like a lamb; out like a lion!

... so I am still in the process, but final stages of, organizing my clothes... especially the non-vintage, but also the vintage.  Chris got us a new and longer desk which makes it more comfortable (and aesthetically pleasing) to sit in front of the computer.  I have a little bit of an attention issue, so sitting in front of the computer is hard for me.  However, I promise to get better at this.  I have soooo much vintage to list that it's ridiculous that I have not put more up yet.  Between my attention span and my kitten obsessed with destruction it is really hard to get any real momentum.  The past two, three weeks I have been training for serving at the restaurant I work at so I can start making up for the money lost when I quit managing a store (to have more time to do all of this organizing and take acting classes).  A friend sent me a link to a great deal for acting classes that only had a few hours left before it expired.  They are for Second City.  Nice to go to places that have a good reputation ESPECIALLY when you pay 1/3 of what the classes normally cost!  phewf!  Anyway, my spring time resolution:  get on all this and keep to my time goals....!!!!  

Happy Mother's Day!!
