Diana put together this lil’ punkin’ of an outfit and instantly, the perfect nickname for my miniscule roomie was born. Here she is…  Kitten McTinykins Bless her lil’ kitten soul!  My new site was launched today. It’s still all About Budget Style, minus the superfluous expletives! Check me out! My favorite pieces so far: Budget Style Blog (my voice takes over on December 16th). Target Review (or How to Shop at Target Without Looking Like You Do) How To Find the Perfect Black Blazer Five Ways To Make Your Handbag Last Longer Enjoy! Recently, art dealer Eric Firestone invited my two roomies and I to attend his latest opening for ’40s pop artist, Andy Burgess. But not to attend as just any guests, because this wasn’t just any party. The day after I returned from my 2 month adventure/ gargantuan workfest, I found myself quite the “working girl” once again. Hawking Lucky Strikes (they’re toasted!), Cubans, Emphysema, and vintage candy for tips… dressed as 1940s cigarette girls. That man sure knows how to throw a party.
I think after rushing around all day, we threw these get-ups together in about an hour. Life is good in this House of Stylists and Excessive Giggling. This Week! Thanks to About.com and the New York Times, my new website, About Budget Style is LAUNCHED… in T-minus a whack of seconds. Watch here tomorrow for linkage galore! Also a big congratulations to my friend, Mai on her beautiful new store, Threadsence!
Bow Tie, Ruffled Dress Shirt from Vv, Burgundy Velvet Blazer from Vv, Dark Paisley Dress Shirt from Vv via LOOKBOOK.nu: “~whisper winds at the break of dawn~” by Bobby Raffin. Way to make a 70s velvet ruffled tux undeniably wearable by layering with a paisley shirt and baggy trousers. Canadians can pull anything off. Hopefully next he’ll try pairing a tuque with a pair of gonch.
Vintage, Nordstroms Tights, Shirt via LOOKBOOK.nu: “LATE AUTUMN” by Megan Stewart. I feel like Megan here pulled this outfit straight from my subconscious and made it even better than my imagination could fathom. Argh! You win, Megan, you win. |
