i can't explain

sooooo... drinking coffee ♥♥♥ right now...

i had a super productive trip to the salvation army yesterday... a pair of mens levis, a ck jean jacket, 6 shirts (to cut up) and a sweater (to shred). i am a very happy grrrl. everytime i have a good haul at goodwill or salvation i always wonder why i shop anywhere else... haha... but the thing is i don't really. well, there is etsy when i am looking for something in particular(usually vintage) and ebay for newer used items. i'm kinda always inspired by 90s simplicity(think mens levis, the perfect tees, worn in henleys & boots of course), so thrifting is perfect. i just gotta keep a mental list of things i want/need and keep focused or i'll end up with a mountain of stuff that gets worn once... anyhow...

i love that guy (in the last photo)... he keeps my neighbors trash bins safe and makes me smile

my dad made my mom this purse.... i know, sweet right?

♥♥♥

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...

last sunday (i know these are a bit late) i went to the pasadena chalk festival... there was some amazing art... which really did wonders on my spirit as i was very grumpy that mornin'.
it was hot and these outfit shots were taken while i was taking refuge from the sun and hoards of people.
here are a few of my favorites....


i think this was my favorite. if you are interested in checking out more of his work click here. i didn't get his name, but his myspace was written next to his piece.

i didn't get the name of the artist and couldn't find it on the website... but isn't she just too cute?
