La Meow must be the most auspicious thrifter EVER (if you don’t believe me just check out her store!). i love the layering of this outfit. i love even more that she’s layered thrifted Schiaparelli over thrifted Calvin Klein and thrifted Comme des Garcons. Its like she went back in time just to rob Neiman Marcus.

today we are all winners. i Hope.

Election Day. Obviously. Vote. Just goddamn do it. No excuses. Learn where to go here. Ok done.

and not very exciting, but here is mine:

dirndl dress

I had to re-use my oktoberfest dirndl dress- its all I packed.
I just wrapped a braid made of yarn around my head and stuck some baby’s breathe in it.
This was at an amazing arial acrobatic event called The Homecoming Dance of Death, which was catered by my good friend Andrea of Forkable Blog (I helped make all those disembodied finger and eyeball cookies – yum).
Sorry for the blur, there was an open bar so the camera was a lil drunkypants.

check me out: sacramento’s next top model

I had an awesome time at the photoshoot for my Sacramento Magazine interview because the photographers, a young, keen couple who called themselves Tyler and Christina (coincidentally also the name of their photography company) were really excited and passionate about their work. And on top of it, treated me like a bona fide model. I was totally ready to hear Tyra call my name FIRST. (Hmmmm….I think maybe I’ll try out next season! To do list: Grow 3-4 inches taller, become 8 years younger and stop eating… uh… food for a month.)

Tyler and Christina were nice enough to send me the non-copyrighted images from the shoot. More to come in approximately 90 days. I know you’re all feverishly counting the minutes.

thrift star of the day: quelle luxe!

velvet and chiffon

If I ever found this brown velvet vintage mini-dress with chiffon sleeves, I might consider becoming religious. Because, really, what else would be left to live for? But then there’s the aubergine tights, perfect pointy spectators and lovely 60′s turban! I’d seriously like to know what God of Thrift she prays to.
