LL Hip Pick of the week: a dream in cream

Sorry it’s been a bit slow round these parts of the interwebs – last week was leaning toward the insanity-inducing side of things in my world. I promise that this blog has not degenerated into nothing but Thrift Stars posts (in fact, I’ve been working on an incredibly helpful “Ask Painfully Hip” post for forever it seems), it’s only temporary until I recover from the mind-melting comedies and tragedies of the previous week and get caught up on my design work. We’ve got big plans. I thank Eve for taking over on Thrift Stars last week while I was camping out and breathing the not-so-fresh air of the smoke-ridden California skies and antiseptic hallways of the ICU (I should specify that I was there lending support to a friend whose close family member is in a bad way, so no condolences needed for me, but thanks anyway! I will pass them onto him).

So for now I present to you via LadyLanguage the serenity-inducing soft-as-a-silky-something (brain functions will be returning soon – promise) Goddess Tunic with a perfect braided faux-leather halter detail:



goddess tunic only $15.20 with HIP20 discount code!

I can attest to the theistic name of this tunic, I didn’t want to take it off – it’s cozy and cool and the cut is incredibly flattering for broad shoulders like mine. I decided I felt lovely even whilst plucking an errant chin hair.

Do note: Such a ridiculous price allows you to splurge on a nice wide belt like the one I’m wearing and invest in a white strapless bra and/or silky slip if you need one because this dress can tend to be, um, anatomically correct. Fair warning.

thrift star of the day: Mint Julep

hotter than a Georgia July, originally uploaded by whiteapple.

This pick is for Amber. She’s been at the ICU all day with a friend and nothing cheers her up more than a perfectly crafted 20’s outfit. This picture could seriously adorn the mast head.

Nice work, whiteapple.
Check out her etsy store too

thrift star of the day: Wind can be your friend



Thursday 26th June 2008, originally uploaded by night.owl.

Night.Owl is a dream in her World War II nurse look. Although clearly her world is not in black and white. And all her patients look like Christian Bale. Perfect.

thrift star of the day: Bette Davis clothes, Marilyn Monroe pose



fair warning!, originally uploaded by the snail and the cyclops.

the snail and the cyclops puts together an outfit like Michel Gondry solves a Rubik’s cube with his feet. : it looks difficult but takes only a keen eye and a bit of child-like inventiveness.
