MOUNTAIN-WEAR MEETS BAROQUE GLAMOUR

MOUNTAIN-WEAR MEETS BAROQUE GLAMOUR
What happens when Giambattista Valli is given free reign at a Moncler Gamme Rouge?
Something far far away from Moncler's signature puffer mountain jackets. He has created fluffy pleated, emboidered, and beaded concotions that would make Marie Aintoinette's heart skip a beat. There still remains a lingering element of Moncler's sportswear rep thanks to the zips and seemingly weather-resistant material of some pieces. All together it looks like a collection fit to cloth a space-age Czarina.

*WHAT ARE YOU WEARING TODAY?*

*WHAT ARE YOU WEARING TODAY?*

Today I am wearing: A sweater by Terasa Fadem, skinny satin pants by Joie, Ann Demeulemeester single lace-up boots, and a necklace from my moms old store.
Terasa Fadem is a local designer in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Everytime my mom and I make a trip up there we always stop by this boutique called Boulevards. They have all of her stuff there and it's always incredible. Not to mention some other pretty cool obscure designers too.
The necklace was made by a local Dallas designer in the 80's. My mom said the designer was really kooky-that she used a sledgehammer to smash up her kitcen counters and make jewlery out of them. How awesome, wish my mom still had more of her stuff!!

LOTS OF PICS AHEAD//stupid pictures taken while running errands

LOTS OF PICS AHEAD//stupid pictures taken while running errands
Today I tagged along with my mom and my sister to run some errands. I took the camera and we ended up making a pitstop at Joanne's to pick up some plastic animals. Unfortunately they didn't have as large of a selection as we would have liked but we still had fun.

Walking around outside whilst waiting for my sister to finish her voice lesson. 
This crazy glitter jacket was purchased yesterday when I went thrifting with a friend. It is so insanely sparkly and it feels like a Brillo pad. I love it.

They have a lot of different 'Toobs' of plastic animals to choose from. They aren't all animal toobs though. We have a Jamestown Settlers toob.

Okay I promise to get some real posting done soon. Sorry for bombarding you with dumb pictures.
But in the meantime,
why don't you check out the fun little project my mom and my sister and I are working on:
We figured it was about time to do something (useful?) with our little zoo of plastic pets.
