Just hanging out on my beautiful terrace - no big deal.  

In my dreams.

Don't worry, I still live in my dinky little apartment in Park Slope, with my seventeen cats and Miku. A girl can dream, can't she?

can I get a what what

Outfit Details:
glasses - Ray-Ban
shirt - H&M
pants - Urban Outfitters
platforms - c/o Joie
Collina Strada bag - c/o Emerging Thoughtsbear ring - Sea of Bees c/o Emerging Thoughts K ring and "Star Trek" stackable rings - Fancy Sexy Me (got them at Artists & Fleas in Williamsburg)fitbit - wore it for Nine West Runway Relief during fashion week

Kimberly and I spent a day doing what we both love: eating and shopping at flea markets...and then eating some more. We now have matching "K" friendship rings because we're cheeseballs - and tattoo shops were closed for the day, so the rings were the next best thing (absolutely kidding about that).

On another cheeseball-related note, Kim's blog can now be found at canigetawhatwhat.com. Same blog, new name. Does she win a prize for best name ever? I think she should.

Cheap Thrills

Outfit Details:
Olive Anorak - c/o Chloe Loves Charlie
skirt (worn as dress) - thrifted
belt - from my mom's shop (Hourglass Consignment)
Ampersand heels - c/o Seychelles
Collina Strada bag - c/o Emerging Thoughts
hat - H&M
vintage glasses - Guvnor's Vintage

I think I wear this skirt more often than most items in my closet, even if I've only worn it a few times on the blog. It might be the best few dollars I've ever spent.

I can't wait to get back down to Florida in the next few weeks. Not only am I looking forward to thrift stores that aren't picked clean (I'm looking at you, New York!) - my little sis is due to have her baby boy! I'm not sure which is more exciting.

Okay, okay...meeting my new nephew Ryder might take the cake.

little cape

Outfit Details:
Miss Patina dress - Emerging Thoughts
vintage cape - from my mom
hat - H&M
Keiko belt - had it since I was a kid
socks - Nordstrom
Seychelles Hawk wedges - Giltboxy tote - c/o Foley + Corinna rings - vintage and Forever 21 nails - from the Urban Decay Holiday Nail Kit (we went for manicures)

My style has changed quite a bit over the years; I tend to go through phases, like an angst-ridden teenager. Still, I have a collection of pieces that seem to make their way into whatever current wardrobe situation I have going. I always come back to this cape - it's the first thing I ever wore on this blog. Of course, I guess the belt trumps the cape. That belt has been in my possession almost as long as I've had horses (twenty-two years).

I've had this song stuck in my head all week.

Kim got in late last night, so we're off to spend the day being really awesome or really lame, depending on the unfolding of events. Probably somewhere in between the two: really lame in everyone else's mind but living for awesome in ours. I'm excited to have Kimberly back in town!

I meant to post this Thursday, and then again yesterday. The problem was that our internet was out, because a provider who-must-not-be-named (Time Warner) has the spottiest service, rivaled only by that of AT&T. I sure know how to choose 'em.

So, here's a quick Saturday post, featuring a few of my new favorite items: the purse, which I've been wearing almost constantly, comfy and cute shoes from my friends at Seychelles and the most awesome necklace, ever. Emerging Thoughts, one of Postlapsaria's and all independent designers' biggest supporters (and carriers), just got in a bunch of really incredible items from independent designers and sent me a little care package, which included this necklace. It's handmade by a girl in Orlando, which happens to be where I lived for five years! I'm in double love.
