“But aren’t we crazy to throw ourselves into love again and again? After the sometimes literal horror film that is a breakup, aren’t we nuts to go back into it head (more like heart) first?

Kind of, but everything in life,  good or bad, requires risk.”

-Anaïs Escobar

Sick Day

Taking another sick day today.  I wish I had a night mask with eyelashes like Holly Golightly to make me feel better.  Sigh... Anyway, stay tuned for more beautiful things to come!!

Old School Pinup Girl style

I really like this old school pinup dresses and hair styles.  These photos are from www.pinupgirlclothing.com.  I haven't bought anything from them yet, mostly because I'm not sure where I would wear it.  I also like to draw and paint pinup girls.  Maybe I'll buy a dress one of these days and use myself as a model.

Thanks for visiting my blog!

. . . and for the impossibly exciting news: one glamorous reader will win the adeline necklace {retail $200.00}, made of glittering strands of crystal in shades of powdery blue and smokey grey and adorned with a stunning rhinestone brooch, as perfect with a soft, brushed cotton t-shirt under a belted cardigan while at the shops searching for the perfect gifts, as with a sequined party dress and sky-high peeptoes on a festive december night . . .

Inspired Rooms: Electric White

Isn't this Marmora Road Victorian home truly lovely? It's been featured pretty much everywhere, from Light locations, but still. Amazing how a home can be graceful, cozy and charming all at the same time.

The white plank floors and pale, dove gray walls with those gorgeous molding makes a simply sweet canvas. I love how there are unexpected pops of bright color in each room.

Scattered art in ornate frames, dark stained wood mixed with painted wood pieces, ornate frames and lighting mixed with clean simple lines, i feel like it's the best of both worlds here.

NYC Digs: Hidden Treasures

Hands down, one of my favorite things to do is thrift store shopping. I love the thrill of the hunt. Going into some whole in the wall store on a safari for hidden treasures in clothing form. And even better, digging through the mass chaos only to emerge triumphant!

I have many great articles in my closet with a fabulous story behind them. That is the best part, is owning pieces that have a more enthralling hisstory than some factory in China. Like my knee length vintage fur coat. I found it in Austin, Texas but it was made in England and now it has followed me to New York.

On my shopping excursion on Black Friday, I found a fantastic thrift store out in Greenwich Village that you definitely need to check out! Monk Vintage on MacDoogal Street is a great find. Overflowing with designer goods and vintage treasures you are sure to find something fabulous for your wardrobe!
