thrift star of the day: unadulterated pretty

originally uploaded by fashion rubies (fashion-rubies.blogspot.com) for wardrobe_remix
When I get dressed, if something looks too “pretty” I have this incessant, unreasonable need to uglify it a little. But his lovely lass is wearing the outfit-equivalent of an endless field of blooming irises. And I totally love it.

Tales from the West Coast

Oh man. Going on a West Coast Tour with three amazing bands and pretending to be a musician was apparently my dream come true. Seriously. I learned the songs along the way and then wailed on that uke just like I knew what I was doing. And I met so many hip kids with false [...]

I’m on Tour!

Ok this isn’t really fashion-related, but I just thought I’d let you know to watch out, West Coast. I’m all up in your shit.

Vintage Undies and a Water Fight

Enter JamieNoel Jewelry. Stacey’s “interactive” jewelry featuring 1930’s carnival, circus [...]

Apparently Team Painfully Hip were cursed on the night of the iPod Battle. How is it we couldn’t win by jitterbugging savagely and in perfect sync to an obscure Nigerian tribal dance jam and then shit-talking at the judge all night long?? Not only that, but the full outfit photos of the Studio 54-esque vintage [...]

La Couture des Poisson from Trend de la Creme

I was wandering around the blogosphere (god, I hate that word), when I happened upon this gorgeous post from the ever so entertaining and clever Trend de la Creme, comparing the latest Basso & Brooke’s collection to her favorite wee sea life, the beautifully amorphous pipefish. The resemblance is absolutely stunning.

Thanks, Jill, for letting [...]

The snail and the cyclops must know that the keys to my heart are a drop waist, a flapperish chignon and charleston-worthy maryjanes. I [...]
