ZOMG, THIS BELT THING! When I first saw it at modcloth.com, it kind of reminded me of a cross between a sweet, worn-in leather gun holster and the Zana Bayne leather harness Laia over at The Pop | Geometric Sleep wore so effortlessly awhile back. I will try wearing it as originally intended, but I love this idea – slinging it across one shoulder and packing the pouch with night-out essentials: ID, Besame’s darling and elegant lipstick bullets, blotting papers, cash. Period. I’m sure many femmes can agree: Sometimes not having to carry around a bag or purse or clutch or tote is freeing and happy, and not ALL dresses are made with – or are even practically made at all – pockets.

Plus, it’s inexpensive.

Plus, it’s real leather, which smells good and is super fun to wear in.

Plus, because I said so.

Also, I cannot wait to rock this scarf (also from modcloth.com) even as it warms up. It’s not quite sheer, but wafer-thin and moves nicely. I can see it dressing up a wifebeater, cutoff shorts and cowboy boots, I can see it giving a pop of color to a lightweight cotton tank dress, I can see it at Baker Beach with a 50s pinup swimsuit and some truly excellent shades. For now, it shall keep my neck warm, and prettily!

    That belt is fantastic, and a nice alternative to the uber-huge handbags I see women carrying around. I mean, I get it, femmes like their purses, but sometimes? Less is more.

    how about your knife?? maybe give your boot a rest?

    how about a turn about the room?! YEAH!

    KA / Nadarine: Oh noes! They’re both sold out?! Sob. I love the vibrant colors! It feels so old-timey. And the happy leather, well…I’m a sucker for leather.

    Ali / G: YES! I dare say it’s even PRACTICAL. Yes, practical.

    M: A wee switchblade! Smart. I am doing this. You can admire my figure better as I take a turn about the room.

    I LOVE the tile around that fireplace!! Soo beautiful. (In my defense, I am attending school for interior design, so therefore I reserve all rights to comment on the setting of your fashion blog.)
    Scarf you’re wearing still sold out to this day :( Love it to pieces though.
    (Ha. See! There. I commented on your beautiful wardrobe, too. It’s the best of both worlds.)
