check me out: bohemian flapper

i went shopping at this awesome store called red light in portland when i was there. they had this drop dead forgetaboutit summer sale rack. i went a-lookin for a sundress that i could easily translate to fall. here’s what i bought.

this ribbed bubble dress is the most comfortable thing i’ve ever worn! its the most gorgeous color of dove grey with a bit of shimmer in a sweatshirty material. i love the wide straps. got it on clearance for $12! the vintage gold link necklace was $4 and has these crazy ethnic beads between these sorta rusticy art deco gold links. the rope gladiators were a bit of a splurge (for me, i know i’m SO cheap!) at $30, but so worth it.

for fall, i’m planning to wear this dress with my new skinny leather bomber jacket, wooly coloured tights or leggings and these luscious mock-crock accent ruched boots which i just scored off eBay for a song…

thrift stars of the week! (amber’s picks from wardrobe remix) 5 Sep 07

fall lovin
oh, Autumn and Winter, i suppose i can forgive you for being so sucky as long as i can please wear this outfit every day.

izzy
Izzy of MTL is truly, painfully, chic in this outfit. don’t even get me started on her perfect, perfect jeans.

floral and lace
damn, she’s an exiled parisian princess going to a garden party in wonderland…
black tights under a white lace skirt and a shoe clip on a gold chain? genius.

icy
i love this trompe l’oeil corset tee ivy frozen made. it makes her look like her waist is the size of my leg!

school
pretty photo… those boots give me a chubby.

f&art
not even that covet-worthy shopping bag (please send me one, Mahret!) or that amazing phonograph could steal the scene from one of the hippest and most stunningly statuesque bloggers ever. we heart F&ART.

birthday black
i love how the addition of capri leggings and fuschia accessories takes this LBD from office casual to Audrey Hepburn with a sex kitten twist.

hm turq tights
um… hi! this is the perfect example of how acid bright tights as a centerpiece can totally make the outfit. oh i guess pretty hair and some perfect lighting couldn’t hurt either.

liebe boots
till recently, liebemarlene was sure that ankle boots weren’t for her. well amen, it’s also a good thing Charlotte Gainsbourg never thought that about blazers.

magenta and sheer
lovely layering to make a silky chiffon(?) vintage dress look effortless.

stripey dress
Voila, la Femme Fatale.

boombox
Yes! i’d be crumpin’ to MIA in seconds flat in this outfit.

playsuit
this outfit doesn’t seem to follow any fashion rules! therefore, i love it. oh glee.


if short shorts are wrong, i don’t want to be right

here’s what it looks like when you take a motley gaggle of reluctant hipsters, marinate them thoroughly in delicious homebrew and invite them to a ballfield on a stunner of a day:

actually, it was rather hawt out:

let’s pay some bills! Pet Sounds and Waterloo short short roller disco shorts available at Waterloo. yes, Fabricio sent us these shorts for free for the ad, but really, these things sell themselves. they are ridiculously comfortable and needless to say, did not hinder our drunken baseball skills in the least.

…and here’s what they look like when you hand them another beer and a few microphones:

…please, thanks and nice ta meetcha, a most satisfactory time was had by all.
