i need coffee.... and this shirt

i've never really been into graphic tees... i own 4 to be exact. 2 led zeppelin, bob marley & nirvana. yeah pretty self explanatory. it's all about the music for this here grrl

but yea... think i'm coming around. and i think i need this shirt... i just don't like to listen to talking until i've had at least a cup... ok, at least 2...

available here & here

eeny, meeny, miny, moe

i kinda love them both.... the second pair is just kinda weird. a dr suess cross between docs/hiking boot/90s mom shoe.... hmmmmm. but oh-so-perfect. reminds me of something i would have totally worn in 9th grade. with crazy checkered tights or something.

anyhow, i really shouldn't buy either. the top are like all my shoes.. but that is good because i know they will get worn A LOT. i wish i could buy both. what happened to me? when did i become so responsible.... i used to just buy something if i liked it and had the cash. i like eating i guess.

which?

top-jeffrey campbell 'in trouble', bottom-jeffrey campbell 'mcgyver'

annnnd... i like both their names, derrrrrnnn it!

these were taken a couple weeks ago when i went to see inception. i loved it. leonardo dicaprio is brilliant as ever, but man marion cotillard... what a stunner. i mean she is no doubt a brilliant actress (see la vie en rose if you haven't) but on top of that she is gorgeous! and she was THE ultimate ghostly beauty in inception.

yup, this is one of the scarves i got at f21 last time i was there... yes, those are little puff balls hanging from it... and yes, i got it in black too. the black doesn't have the lace like this one, but i love them both.

(vintage diy slip-last seen here), aa bra, f21 scarf, nastygal ruched with love socks, acne shank boots, vintage barneys bag, samesame jewelry)

i have been searching for round rose colored sunnies for what seems like FOREVER. some of you who are regulars here may remember this post... well, i still haven't procured any. these two are the row x linda farrow and are also perfect! i may just give in a buy them at barneys when they are available...

i ♥ the blue too

i saw these over at royalbluemoss!!!!
i've been in love with bowie since i was 14 so these were love at first sight.
although the litas are great, i wasn't sold until this! hot freakN damn is all i'm gonna say...

♥♥♥

i'll be looking foward to it...

this dress is by far my favorite. i hope the store near me carries it!

lovin this poncho and will definitely grab it if i can. it isn't exactly mind blowing, but it is VERY me :)

and hopefully i will also get a hold of these pants! so crazy comfy cool!

if i can manage to grab these three i will be a very happy lil lady :)

there were also lots of other great pieces... including some amazing coats, but here in southern cali it just doesn't get that cold and i own a few great coats already.

hmmmm

something about posting things i want gives me a feeling of ownership... definitely not the same as walking down the street in them... do you feel the same? which do you like?




boots/freepeople, sandals/matt bernson



i mostly shop at thriftstores and when i'm not, it is ebay or etsy... yes, more secondhand or vintage :D but i really do have a weakness for good shoes. so these are the two i want. i want the boots more, but am limiting myself to one "new" purchase a month for now (we shall see how that goes) and the sandals seem a bit more fitted to the weather... i also notice i spend a lot less on practical shoes which makes no sense at all as they get worn more or at least that is my justification to buy the boots.. haha...

go for broke

linda farrow x charles anastase available at opening ceremony

gotta start saving

cuz i'm not missing these bad boys

question is... what color? prolly between the black and purple, well... it will most likely be the black but how great would the other colors look with an all black ensemble... and i am quite fond of those...

playshopping!??!

ld tuttle boots, miu miu sandals, miu miu tote, topshop ankle socks, rayban clubmasters, opi dark room nail polish, alexander wany terry t dress, house of harlow cocktail ring, house of harlow stacking ring, miu miu wedge boots, rick owens leather jacket, american apparel thigh highs, mastermind japan scarf, nine west jurra wedge

ok, so i played on polyvore for the first time.... this is my "fall, i need these things" list.. haha!

i'm trying to only purchase things that will make what i already have go farther...

~black leather jacket... the rick owens one will definitely NOT happen... i'm shooting for a vintage motorcycle jacket

~black ankle boots... wedges would create great lines with my fav jeans, but i haven't fond the perfect pair... i'm loving those miu miu's and they will definitely be worn for years to come... hmmmmmmm?

~ankle socks and thigh highs... i just need some new ones.... they almost entirely change an outfit

~new sunglasses! either round or rayban clubmasters.... nothin like new sunnies

~a new dark nail polish will spice things up.... my toes are religiously black...

~i love my solid love quotes scarves but i want something that will add to my all black ensembles

this whole post is kinda silly, but "play" shopping was fun none-the-less
