pale white





my warm, beautiful, cozy, vintage sweater dress. I love it in the winter with tights, but there are holes all over it which brings in a not so great breeze..

my apologies for my severe lack of blogging, i have been working on some rad projects on top of school etc. 

p.s I'm sure everyone has already seen these. I'm not sure what I think about the knockoff's yet.. are any of you planning on purchasing the Jeffrey Campbell severe Acne knockoff's? They are surprisingly only $195.

I have also fallen in love with this and this, high fives UO.

the cape







(urban outfitters liquid leggings, marsh landing cashmere cape, gap wool socks, target boots)

Forgive me for my lack of posts over the past few days, I spent Saturday through last night in New York City. I stupidly forgot my camera (I still can't believe I did!) I had a rad time, most of my fun happened in the West Village at The Fatty Crab and Magnolia's (if you've been to New York and haven't been to Magnolia's Bakery I consider that a crime). They have the most amazing cupcakes in the whole city (Billy's coming in second). I would have to say my favorite part of my time in the city was sitting in central park listening to this jazz band called TinPan, they were so amazing.

I got a lot of great feedback on my last post, and wanted to know what you guys would like to see more of, less of, half of, a quarter of...

I found this "cape" while sifting through my mothers cedar closet. I haven't been able to take it off! The cashmere on my skin is heaven. I couldn't believe I missed this treasure in all of my other sifts through her closets...

I have a day off tomorrow (thank god!) so i'll try to answer all my e-mails!

(thrifted leather shorts, target top, urban tights, vintage key on chain)

These leather shorts are probably one of my most miraculous thrift finds. I don't know who would ever want to let these bad boys go. I found them at the Salvation Army in downtown Philly. 

My Sally adventure yesterday was pretty beat, maybe it's because I go to that Sally EVERY wednesday, I guess they have no new treasures for me to find. I came home with only a sweater and a book, spent not even $4. Pretty soon I'm going to need a thrift bookcase for all of the 79 cent books I get at thrift stores..

Lately I have found myself marveling at this models hair, she is so beautiful.

rip and tear





(vintage skirt, urban sweater and tank; hanes tee)

It is pouring this morning, but I secretly love waking up to the rain, has anyone seen this yet? Alexander McQueen is beyond innovative.

I've been working on yet another shredded t-shirt, (thanks Camille!) I did a white one that took forever a while ago, but I decided I also need a black one. It didn't take me that long to do this one panel, (all the way to the top) maybe an hour or so. 

I'm going thrifting today, (what a surprise) Wednesdays are half off at the sally! I'll be sure to post any treasures that I find

(target jeans, urban tank, vintage jacket and scarf)

I have been so tired today, but wanted to make a quick entry before I took a nap. I'm not really sure where the dark area on the left of my photos is from, camera malfunction, or the lighting?

I've been living in these target pants since I got them Friday, I suggest everyone get a pair. I'm glad it's finally fall so I can wear my collection of beautiful scarves, and my blazer that has been collecting dust balls. I think I need to do some skimming of my closet..

Oh, and I just had the most delicious organic apple juice, quality apple juice is so worth it eh?

(no label tights, kimchi blue tank, bdg shorts, vintage jacket)

Spending my day organizing my room, doing a lot of homework, and a possible work session at Northern Lights, the workers probably think I'm so weird, I've been there five out of the past six days. But its a great atmosphere and I get a lot of work done.

Seeing Avenue Q tonight, not sure what I'm gonna wear yet...

(target pants, vintage belt, to the max sweater)

I found the most amazing pants at target yesterday. They are basically a thick more 'pant' type version of leggings. They are awesome, I'm thinking about going and getting another pair, they make my legs look so long! I wore this to First Night with my black suede heels, the belt is my mom's that she found in a thrift store about 15 years ago. 

I'm just finalizing plans for NYC next Saturday through Tuesday, finally I can see my sister! Thank you so much for all the sweet comments, I'm glad you like my blog! Feel free to let me know what you would like to see more of!
