heaven

cardigan vintage

dress vintage

coat vintage

belt j. crew

shoes vintage ferragamo

Japantown in San Francisco is my idea of heaven. Annalise and I went crazy last night at Pika Pika (land of purikura photo booths) and then wandered around trying to find the best place to stuff our faces with sushi. Five rounds of photo boothin' sure does make a girl famished! It was a long overdue lady date with one of the loveliest gals I know. I'm ready to do it again tonight, who's game?

fancy bits

My bedroom and closets are literally bursting at the seams with vintage. There is a little bit of everything you could imagine and then some. Plenty of it will be put in the shop at some point, but there are so many things I can't imagine parting with because they seem to complete my collection (even if I hardly ever wear them). Which is why I need my own vintage museum. Or at least a huge warehouse space to fill up. Calling all wealthy benefactors, wink wink! It doesn't help that I've been obsessively searching Etsy for 1970's chiffon dresses for the past hour...

Two newly acquired vintage dresses from Held Over on Haight Street. You know, because I reaaally needed more dresses.

Floral high waisted jeans, coming soon!

Yes, Lauren dyed her hair. I love the new strawberry shade!

the oxblood boots

cardigan vintage

blouse vintage from wasteland

skirt thrifted

tote bag filson from j. crew

boots topshop

I gasped when I saw these amazing oxblood-hued boots last month while perusing the Topshop site. The color was the first thing I noticed, being the sucker I am for such shades, and of course I fell for that chunky heel. And then before I knew it I was adding them to my shopping cart without a second thought. They are quite different than most of my other shoes, far more modern. But I love how they ground an otherwise floaty, feminine outfit (which is my favorite kind of outfit if you hadn't already noticed).
