I am very much looking forward to finding [leather] shoppers like these for the Fall 2010 season. I particularly admire the simplicity and sophistication of both the pea-green and tan bags, and the utilitarian design aesthetic for the latter. Perfect for a working girl on the come-up, post-academia.

Ciao for Now!

before class

My closet looks crazy empty. I can explain, see what had happened was, I'm moving out of my apartment in 2 weeks so I've been slowly cleaning out my closet to speed up the packing process. I HATE packing! So far, I've gone digging in my already swollen suitcases over 10 times for tees and such... LOL. Rationing off clothing...very effective, yes?

Ciao for Now!

[weekend] getaway

Headed home to Miami this weekend to get fitted for my cousin's wedding. While I'm there, might as well get a new [hair] do...keeping it o'natural.

Ciao For Now!

I was cleaning out my jewelry box when I decided to showcase some of my gold pieces, some real, some fake, on my cleverly thrifted ceramic plate. All of the earrings and the 2 brooches are vintage from various places of interest around town. The cross was a gift from my mom. My favorite pieces? What I like to call my "Cleopatra" choker from the Salvation Army and my [arrow] ring from Loop De Loop vintage boutique.

Happy FRIDAY!

As always, Ciao for Now!

yep

Shout outs to my big foot-ed girls! That's right, I wear a size 11 shoe, 10 1/2 depending on the cut, i.e. death to shoe shopping. Naturally, when I saw these in the window at Loop De Loop vintage boutique looking suspiciously long, I darted for them as if I weren't the only customer in the (tiny) store in Downtown Gainesville.

Just my luck, they were a 10M, courtesy of BCBG. The sales guy said they were most likely from the late 60s to early 70s. The store owner, a charming, petite woman whom no-doubt would have known better, was on vacation. After a slip in, side buckle fastening and a brief stroll across the store, I made them mine for $12.

I figure I can wear them with jeans and a tee or a sun-dress...we'll see.

Ciao for Now!
