summer nights

it was a long day

maybe a hot shower will do the trick

actually maybe a cool one will be better

i still don't know how to use my camera. guess i should read the manual tomorrow and figure it out... but i probably won't

top-goodwill, cutoff levis, jeffrey campbell nation boots, apparellel hex nut bracelet as an anklet, ebay sunnies, american apparel bra, black pyramid arrowhead necklace

he says the room chills when i am sad

time to bundle up... and i'm loving it.

reading by the fire, wearing socks fresh out of the dryer, hot chocolate in my favorite chair, christmas lights lighting up the streets, and gift ideas running 'round my mind...

goodtimes goodtimes

and i am very happy that i can put my hair in a high bun again. i enjoyed the shorter cut, but i really am a long haired grrl. i just have to be able to sweep it out of my face.... so i am on my way back to this.

aa sweatshirt, bravegrrl stevie skirt, f21 pompom scarf, scarf/hat/sunglasses all vintage, jeffrey campbell boots

i guess i am anticipating fall like everyone else although i do feel as though summer hasn't really arrived here in l.a. yet...
maybe i just have a lot of summer stuff... this week i got this striped sweater from f21 along with two light weight scarfs that have pompoms.... yes! i love them... can't wait to show you. the sweater rocks too... sooo smooshy. you can find it on their website which i linked below. they also have it in other colors... hmmmm???

no longer, no longer

didn't make it to the movies this weekend, but i did watch capote (starring philip seymour hoffman) at home... it was really good... was curious to see the performance that beat heath ledgers ennis del mar... and it didn't disappoint. i sometimes don't understand how they give academy awards, as it's such a matter of opinion. but i love watching all the nominees... which i haven't normally seen because i'm just not into "big" movies...

had fun in downtown. i don't normally like driving and parking in downtown l.a., but once i'm there i always enjoy walking around the city... i definitely feel like i should be more familiar with it..



f21 striped dress, vintage overall jumper, topshop jacket, sockdreams fingerless gloves, drugstore nylons, aa thigh highs, chloe docs, vintage bruno bernini sunnies, vintage rings

and i go back to black

more me...
i've kinda been "blog friendly" and i think i'm gonna put more me into it... not that any of it wasn't me... i think i might have been being a little safe. and i prefer not to be... as i think it limits the possibilities of unpredictability (in general, not blog wise).... and it's boring taboot...

so... yeah.

i love black... and this slip is perfect... well, after chopping it a bit...

a bit;
i read a lot... i love movies, but don't have a tv, i watch dvds in my room projected on the wall.. i need underwear, but buy kimonos.. i drink too much coffee (almost always iced).. i pretty much exclusively shop either online or at salvation army.. i don't have many friends but like people.. i am good with my hands.. i am the kid who was supposed to do more.. i'm saving to go to paris... i love boots.. i am the worst of two worlds, a pessimistic hippie and a sweet goth so no one really likes me even though they relate or they like me and then realize i have strange opinions and would rather have small talk or just see me once in a while... i don't really eat sweets, i love burritos and i take everything spicy if possible... i can't decide if i should put music on my blog because i know it annoys some people, but sometimes music says more about someone than words on a page...


toi on sunset... the best peanut sauce EVER!


vintage slip, aa thigh highs, miu miu platforms, f21 beanie

lately, i seem to walk as though i have wings

kinda blah day.. stayed in organizing. these were taken this weekend. still very much so enjoying the weather... i want thai right now... and to drive aimlessly...

love this overall jumper.

i've had a long time love affair with jumpers and other such one-pieces.





topshop jacket, elizabeth & james hoodie, aa crop t, nastygal vintage jean overall jumper, love quotes scarf, chloe docs

shiny happy people dancing

my everyday uniform...
aa leggings, a shirt, a cardigan, a scarf... with a jacket, beanie, another scarf and knee boots as the day progresses. i feel a tad sniffley, but i'm hoping that wears off so i can get out of the cave this weekend. i tend to sit here and not really get out except to get groceries... !!!!! such a change for me... i'm normally a fly by the wind kind of gal... can't really sit in one place too long..

i'm excited to see the imaginarium of doctor parnassus... i haven't seen or heard much about it(as far as reviews go)... but i gotta see heaths last film... from the previews it looks like a moving dali painting, who could resist that?

lunch at the brite spot. yummy. was too hungry to take pix before i ate... if you are in l.a. you should definitely stop in... huge menu... lots of vegan and vegetarian options... and desserts straight from willy wonkas factory. to be honest i'm not your normal grrl, chocolate does not fix anything, but their vegan lava cake Rocks.

i am just a thrift store grrl...
couture excites me because everything is so unexpected... well, thrift shopping is the same, i never know what i will find and well... i guess i will face it right now... i can afford it... tomorrow i will pretend the boots i want on ebay are in my range...

thorn in my pride

are you wanting inspiration
you spill your secrets on me
then you tell me with a whisper
of things that will never be.
do you hear me breathing?
does it make you want to scream?
did you ever like a bad dream?
sometimes life is obscene.

i had a great thanksgiving
cooked lots

this photo is a bit over brightened/contrasted but the lighting was awful...

i love ponchos
this is one of my favorites

i have never gone shopping on black friday
i do most of my shopping on the net

i love my new haircut
it's easy

i am moving... well actually i'm pretty much done moving
change is good
it's in the same complex so it wasn't a hard move
but it's like a cave... so the sunlight won't be waking me at the crack of dawn
and my patio is bigger and will allow for a chair and some outdoor reading...
and some plants :D

off to ebay....

ok, so i think these studio pix are really cheesey and impersonal for blogging, but at the moment (well for the last couple months) i have been having major camera issues.... the current issue is the lack of a battery charger... so basically i take these outfit shots when i am shooting stuff for my shoppe.... but that will soon change and you will get to see pix taken in much more interesting places... well at least different places...

so i am gonna go to radioshack (or is it radio shack??) today to buy one. i really don't wannna spend the $40 on one nor do i want to go to radioshack. for some reason i have never liked that place...

so the outfit has been a regular no brainer thing as of late.... black leggings, various black shoes and a basic top/sweater with this diy circle scarf... i made it out of a thrifted muumuu... it has a plethora of prints and colors... muted earthy colors splashed with fuschia and leopard...




i will leave you with this lovely picture i picked up via adirtyblond last week after watching no direction home two nights in a row
