What my trip to Austin yielded..

Fashion
Aug 13, 200847 Comments


Pretty amazing stuff!! I think I'll be going back with my friends sometime this year for another shopping trip.

Somone commented asking if I had been to Lucy in Disguise with Diamonds-yes, I did go with my mom and we were mesmerized by their endless collection of costume jewelry-I've been trying to find some animal brooches and they had like an entire zoo of animal brooches so I brought a few home.

The necklace is so sparkly and over the top-when I've worn it I've noticed people's eyes go straight to my neck-it's hard to miss.

Style Station was a random boutique off the side of the highway that had vast quanities of cowboy boots, Levi's, and some vintage clothing. I think my mom and my grandpa and I are going to go look at boots there sometime next week.

:) Excited to wear my new things.
Jane

    when I scrolled down and saw the “continued..!” section it was pretty much like my birthday and christmas rolled into one. Such great finds! I’m looking forward to hunting for vintage in Queens this weekend. I will feel lucky if I find two of the amazing pieces that you found! Can’t wait to see the animal brooches in action…

    I really really love your blog. A lot. I tried doing my hair just like your second photo, but it didn’t work on me. After seeing how you successfully mastered the look maybe I’ll try again!
    Would you like to exchange links? Because I’m just too in love with all of your looks.

    How i long for the day when animals will start stripping the skin off humans and wear them as clothes – using loose terminology like ’50’s glam’ and ‘vintage’ to describe a period where humans heads were stuck so far up their ass that they saw luxury in a product of animal cruelty – the more rare the animal, the better.
    this is the year 2008, we are not idiots, fur is murder.
