Hocus Pocus

                       Happy Halloween Everyone!!!!!!!!


The Minx and I are having a wonderful Halloween afternoon. Watching Hocus Pocus, only one of my favorite movies ever, eating apples with carmel. Not too shabby after waking up at 3 am for work....

I did get to carve pumpkins over the weekend! Which I love to do even though I really am the worst at it. I had a friend over and lucky for me he sucks at it too ;) I also baked the seeds in hot wing sauce and man oh man did they turn out good. All in all, not too bad. Hope you all have a wonderful Halloween!

Also on a side note I would really like to have the huge tie dyed wall hanging that Max has in his room in the movie. (Hocus Pocus of course)

Striped Situation

This Saturday I got together with a good pal of mine JC. The two of us walked to a cafe had a coffee, went to the grocery, then another grocery and finally back to my place. Sounds kind of boring..... But if you had seen us trying to carry pumpkins back to my place you would have thought differently. We picked pumpkins that were far too heavy to be carrying through the city. So we sent the whole way home laughing hysterically making strange noises and basically looking like fools! My arms still hurt!

 All in all we had a lovely time.... even if we did look like fools. Plus I got to pull out one of my favorite coats of all time. I wear this coat literally all winter long. It seems to go with everything I own, so don't be surprised if you start to see a lot of it!

Crazy Legs.

I bought these sheer  printed wide leg pants a while back and finally worked them into the rotation this week. Now when I say rotation  you may think that there is some sort of weird order to when I wear my clothes. This really could not be more untrue. I am a mood dresser and it is actually really hard for me to find the right days to wear some of my freshly bought items. That being said, these pants finally got to walk in the real world this week.

I know you can barely see it in the pictures but the pants are actually kind of sheer. They have black shorties sewn in, which actually dyed my legs a bit when I wore them. But whatever. I my fancy pants with a black ribbed henley tank, a cropped By Corpus sweater, cowboy boots, and my favorite leather jacket. I had to keep my outfit fairly basic and comfy because I wore them to my day job and things have been pretty hectic lately. I feel like I will enjoy these babies a lot more in the summer when it finally gets warm....

Just a few quick things....

I have been having some pretty up and down luck with my vintage shopping these days. I'm having a hard time finding the items I need for projects at my day job. But I have been finding some pretty good personal items....

Both the purse and vest were only $5 a piece!!!!!! I almost passed out from excitement when I found them. As for the beautiful bracelets, one of my wonderful aunts gave them to me. May family has also been unloading vintage treasures on me which is surprising and amazing at the same time! I recently got two of my aunts 70's wedding dresses. They are both Gunne Sax dresses and have only been worn once! I will be posting pics of the dresses as soon as possible and may even end up selling one of them, we will have to see.....

I also got this cute little plant from a special friend that just sits in a bottle of water and looks cute. I put it on the window sill in my shower so my crazy cat can't get to it and eat it. My cat loves all vegetation for some weird reason..... XX Dolls!

Kimono Killer!

I could literally live in kimonos. I only have a handful right now, by that I mean less than 10 ;) This is the newest addition to my small collection.

I just couldn't say no to the floral print. I am now on the hunt for a fringe piano jacket..... I think I may need some luck to find one of those babies....

Also p.s. the jeans I'm wearing are full on flares.... Sounds gross but are possibly the most flattering jeans I own.
