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.

Ah, Sherbet Tone. High-waisted flared tap shorts with ferocious platform pumps? Be still, my envious heart. It’s the perfect execution of the 40′s pin-up in a modern way. Plus? It’s ALL THRIFTED.

thrift stars of the week! 11 March 08

Ok, you guys at Wardrobe Remix are seriously killing me. I kid you not, I had to (was forced to!) look through almost 1,000 photos today before I got through the week. That’s 30 full pages worth of thumbnail-sized amazingness. I’m starting to get very skeptical emails from people who don’t believe I actually manage to go through them all. Well I do, only because I’m getting anal about the possibility that I might uncover most perfectly layered sartorial confection in the history of man. So really, I suppose it’s actually my fault. But Jeebus help me, I’m pretty sure I’ll soon have to just start doing Thrift Stars of the Day. Two or three every few days… What would you think of that? I think it’s either that or I end up a hunched over screen-squinting old lady. This is not good for my back. 

I interrupt this spoiled brat whining session with a totally fashion-unrelated shameless bragging announcement: OMG, my dog is the SMARTEST. She just learned how to do the Downward Facing Dog yoga pose on command in mere milliseconds. I credit her dome-like head and her neverending lust for cheese. That concludes this totally fashion-unrelated shameless bragging announcement.      

We will now resume with the regularly scheduled, totally fashion-related eye candy.
