It was high time that I get out this 70s fur poncho again–would love to know more about it's story…it came from Archive Vintage. The inside of it is handpainted with flowers. What a piece.

Yesterday my mom and I put on some of our favorite pieces and shot each other. We got scared while we took these pictures–we were hearing the creepiest sounds from the woods. It was totally like an episode of MonsterQuest….(my favorite show ever)

Worn with Levi's bellbottoms I wore in my last post, Celine crisscross platforms, and a thrifted lace bell sleeve blouse.

P.S. The art contest results are coming soon! I underestimated how much work the gallery would be. Thank you for your patience.

 

 

To end this post, here is my favorite picture I took of my mom.

I've been dying to get this 70's calfhair Oscar de la Renta trenchcoat out for fall.  It is breathtaking.

The jeans I'm wearing are some vintage Levi's bellbottoms from What Goes Around Comes Around's warehouse, and so is the hat! I want more hats now. The boots are my trusty Chloe harness boots. The patchwork clutch is vintage Carlos Falchi. The sunglasses are Ralph Lauren–I don't like to wear sunglasses but I love the shape of these too much not to wear them!

I put on this outfit to go out yesterday–but then it started pouring rain. The rain didn't stop until this morning.

 

When we were digging through What Goes Around Comes Around's warehouse, my mom pulled out this skirt for me knowing I would love it. Exactly my kind of thing!! It is so heavy and luxurious–and its my favorite color. The 50s beaded cardigan I'm wearing is the exact same color. Worn with a scalloped tank, vintage halter necklace, and patent Givenchy lace up heels. My grandma gave me this vintage silk scarf–it has parakeets all over it.

I don't know what kind of dinosaur he is, but he is one of my favorite toys.

 

Sorry for neglecting Sea of Shoes–I had a busy 5 day trip to New York with my mom. We spoke on the blogger panel at Teen Vogue University. It was such an honor to be included on such an impressive roster! I also got to meet some of my favorite bloggers…pictured below are Hanneli and her sister Tirill, and Phil Oh of Street Peeper. We had such a great time with them!! Thank you Teen Vogue for inviting us.

We also had the pleasure of visiting What Goes Around Comes Around's warehouse in New Jersey to pull some pieces for the event we hosted there on Tuesday. 11,000 square feet of heaven.

All my outfits in New York were kind of weird. I am the worst packer. I need to go to the Anna Dello Russo school of packing because I feel like the only place I dress up is at home.

 

In love this these Pucci embellished Levi's!

I was super happy that my trip coincided with my boyfriend's never-ending tour schedule. Hey, can you make a nice face for my camera for once??

Love this picture of my mom–her vintage fur sweater is on my to-steal list.

 

A random outfit when I was out grabbing an early lunch. I picked up these Levi's at the WGACA warehouse. I borrowed my mom's fur trimmed shawl a lot–it was pretty brisk in New York this weekend.

I got these Celine criss-cross platforms in Paris. Gorgeous, and very teetery.

 

I ate a loooot in New York. How does everyone stay so skinny there with so much good food? Coming home to subpar tex-mex was a rude awakening. My spinach enchiladas this afternoon were like cardboard served on a bed of cat puke.

Thank you to those who came to the event at What Goes Around Comes Around on Tuesday–it was so nice to meet some readers and see friends!!

It feels amazing to be home…I love travelling and have done a lot of it this year, but the best part is always coming home. I always miss my New York friends though!! I've got two trips coming up real soon, so I better enjoy home while I can.

I can't wait to see blogtown is cooking up for Halloween…I better try to pull a costume together. If I don't wuss out I'll take pictures! Hope everyone stays safe this weekend. I know the roads in Dallas on Halloween are about as treacherous as they are on New Years.

Man, I carry my purse like a jerk. Who does this limpy forearm position when they carry big bags except for me and Paris Hilton? I'm exageratting but I can't help notice my refusal to shift the weight of purse at all in the following photos. It's rare that I carry bags…usually when I go out I wedge some cash and my ID in my phone case cover…can't have a purse slowing me down.

Anyway, yes the Jean Paul Gaultier jacket is from a Target collection! Explains the good deal i got on it. I love it!
Worn with Current Elliot jeans, a scarf from Tokyo, and beautiful, beautiful shoes that were sent to me by Peter Som…they were designed by Charlotte Olympia. Thank you so much for my new favorite shoes ever!

These Charlotte Olympia for Peter Som lace up boots are my new favorite things in the whole world. Beautiful perfect and unusual shoe!!

A snapshot of my favorite candy to close this post. I'm a licorice junky…I never have to share this candy because everyone else thinks its so gross. ;)

One of the highlights of the trip to Paris was getting to visit the studio of my favorite jewelry designer Hanna Bernhard. I've featured Hanna Bernhard on my blog frequently this year and was thrilled to get a behind-the-scene glimpse.

As much as I already loved Hanna Bernhard, I think I love it that much more now that I've seen the process that goes into the pieces they make and the amazing environment they've created.

Above is an unfinished lemur that will eventually be heading to Dallas–I'm glad I got to see him in progress!

Enjoy the photos of their space–and thank so much to Natalie and Fernand. Looking forward to seeing you in Dallas!
