VPL

Say hello to the Curvate Corset Dress which I have been eyeing and unabashedly drooling over on ssense.com via VPL.
It's just so perfect. Daytime, nighttime, cocktail party, interview, it's just grand. And I especially like the nudey, bare colours since fall is right around the corner. It just needs to be mine. Now to drop $150...

purple people

I ended up walking 4 miles yesterday (which I probably do a whole lot more of in NY) and hopped over to the Salvation Army for a little tete-a-tete with the racks. I picked, sorted, snubbed and loved a few pieces but when it came down to it I just stuck to the ones that really screamed 'TINAAAA'. And so the register rang. I managed to take home 2 silk tops, an oversized military button down, 2 pairs of silk slacks and, printed shorts and a crazy looking oversized blazer...oh and 2 dead watches. Yeessss.

So with all of this I really wanted to start working on building items for my future store. With all good and productive intentions I decided the purple slacks indeed needed a change. They are now shorts! I'm always inspired by the swishy, silky shorts and pants specifically used in Dries Van Noten's runway lines and I just felt like every girl wants a pair of swish and soft semi-formal shorts in their wardrobe.

I'm still working on hemming the raw edges and shortening them a bit, here's a sneak peak at some of what I have done today:

More to come!

on the homefront

Decided to come back to Maryland for a couple of days for some very much needed one-on-mom time.
I feel like it recoups the soul. Always puts things into perspective. However, I never forgot about the massive deals
while here so I did a bit of ye old shopping. Purchased a nifty pair of dusty Texas boots (as seen below) as well as my usual
make up and 2 pairs of cheap ass but lovely looking jeans. Cheers!




More to tell when my brain begins to function properly once more.

Got a little bored and decided to play with my fur stole that I found at the thrift store awhile back. Not to mention, I got my 2 baltic amber rings in the mail today! The greener one has hints of pine in it, hence the lovely shade. Been playing with the notion to start taking more photography lessons. I'm looking into buying a Lomo Lubitel which I think would get me back into the groove of shooting film again. I like my Nikon dslr but there really is nothing like shooting film.
