Painfully Tempting: Vintage Jackets at Market Publique

As much as I love to layer, the weather in Arizona has thankfully not gotten cooler than a 5 year old’s tepid dunking milk. So I have not of yet had occasion to wear any layers (not counting the occasional bf blazer over my high-waisted short shorts – gotta keep it classy) this fall. But one can always look, right? I have nothing against coats – just the weather they require to be useful.

60s Swing Coat - current bid $175


Perfection. All the androgynous appeal of a boyfriend blazer, with all the sass and femininity of a 60s swing coat. I’m just going to go ahead and count on the mercy of the universe to bestow something like this on my life. Eventually…

Its photoshoot day again!! My roving gang of artistic fanatics are at it again… we need to come up with a team name! This will be our third shoot since I moved here, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Upcoming this week: our beauty shoot for Wingflash’s sharktooth and gilt organic jewelry and our 70s school girl, Biba-inspired fall shoot. Here’s a wee teaser.

are you there autumn? it’s me, diana…

it happened.  

it actually cooled down enough this weekend for me to put on my Majestic Leather Jacket.  long enough to take a picture at least.  

then i got in the car and turned the a/c on Maximum Intensity in the hopes that it would cool down enough to allow me to keep wearing it.  

that didn’t happen.

it was wonderful while it lasted.

leather jacket day!!_0001absolutely perfect in every way, thrifted shrunken leather jacket.
$12.99 at savers.  jealous much?
don’t be.  it’s too damn hot to wear it.  

Painfully Kelly Green: THE Blazer

GreenBlazer
The color and shape of this blazer make me extremely giddy. Its so Early 90s Soccer Mom / Marching Band Geek that it was a blast to style. Thrifted. Perfect condition. SCORE.

Vintage leather shorts (Can you believe how much mileage I’ve gotten out of these?)
Buckle boots (MustHaveShoes.com).

Makes you wonder where the term “band geek” could possibly have come from. How could this jacket be so perfect?

thrift star of the day: le chat chic

Lovely Lokello has the greatest smile known to man – it even outshines her amazing leather jacket (thrifted) and that adorable orange cat who is obviously admiring her innovative black sock / white shoe combo. More girls should learn that a big gleaming smile is, hands down, the best accessory.

By the way, check out our amazing turquoise romper featured in an acidwash blog post over at the super sweet vintage auction site, Market Publique! Yay! Thanks, MP.
