2010

Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
~Eleanor Roosevelt
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. 
~Anais Nin 
When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.  
~African Proverb
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
~Eleanor Roosevelt
Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin as self-neglecting.
~Shakespeare
I'm so glad I started blogging. This year I have gained confidence stylistically and I helped me develop and progress myself in a community that understands that style is an art form. Thank you and have a wonderful new year!

Wrap Me Up





40s style 60s wrap dress:estate sale, granny sweater:goodwill, flats:vintage gift
I need to get up earlier in the morning and go to Estate Sales where I found this gorgeous wrap dress. I originally tried to sell it on Etsy but it didn't sell quickly and a month or so later I tried it on and just had to keep it. I wasn't expecting to blog so much at the end of the year but here I am with some unexpected free time. I also have an end of year outfit montage coming up tomorrow. Who knows, perhaps the new year will inspire me to post more. The past few weeks I have been cleaning out my closet so expect an awesome anniversary giveaway in the new year.

Loved Despite of Great Faults




Fur Coat: Thrift Town, Photographer: Matt Haber
 This is the aforementioned fur coat I found a few weeks ago. The month has gone by in a beautiful painful flurry. I look forward to the new year. It is always so exciting for me. I have changed and been through so much this year. I've learned so much about myself and others. I am stronger and more independent than I have ever been in my life. I am someone that I can be proud of and next year is going to be phenomenal. I really appreciate all my readers who have stuck with me despite my infrequent posts. I truly enjoy catching up on your blogs and wish everyone a beautiful New Year celebration.

Julia Comita Dolls


I worked with an incredible team In San Francisco a few weeks ago to get these editorial style photos. The other model is Candace (aka Wenchi). I am just absolutely in love with everything in this shoot :the set design, concept, photography, hair and make up, ornate scarring, the vintage styling. Julia was absolutely incredible to work with.

Back Seam

blouse, skirt and shoes thrifted. tights-Prevues
The thrift gods smiled on me today. I found another pair of ballet flats (I'm obsessed with them right now, they are so Audrey) and a gorgeous vintage fur coat. I was determined to not have another casual outfit day and I even went for daytime smoky eyes, a look I haven't attempted in quite some time. I finally got a pair of back seamed pantyhose. I think it makes them so much better. It is amazing how little details turn something from average to incredible.
