I HAD TO EDIT MY PRETTY VINTAGE STRIPED ONE-PIECE OUT OF THIS B/C SOME PERVERT FUCKER KEPT LOOKING AT IT. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. DIAF, ASSHOLE.

When (Day): Thursday, July 31st, 2008.

What: Black striped one-piece, vintage. Dark green and bronze peep-toe pumps from Carlos by Carlos Santana. Dress from Mango, thrifted pink corduroy bow belt, California Girl flip-flops in khaki. Red DIY headband from Charles Chocolates.

Confession: M said that this swimsuit made me look like one of those old-fashioned lollipops. Naturally, I wasn’t going to argue. (Gay! And yes, I put heels on for the first photos. So?)

When (Night): Thursday, July 31st, 2008.

What: Red cocktail dress by Fire. Black men’s vest, vintage. Linea Paolo flats in red and black patent leather. Black onyx pendant, vintage. Studded leather bracelet from the Dollywood leather shop, mixed silver chain bracelet from Juniper Tree.

Confession: I honestly don’t believe that I have ever, prior to this night, gone “out” wearing flats. The truth is, up until about two years ago I still refused to get on the goddamn flat train (cue that one Cure song, you know the one), but then I met a pair of black Dolce Vita ballet flats made of buttery black leather, and I permitted myself to slowly acquire a pair every six months or so. M hated them right off the bat. The puppy hates them. He eats them if I’m not careful to put them away – I can leave my heels out for days and he won’t touch them! Now, I think I’ve got at least four pairs to skip around in.

When: Thursday, July 24th, 2008.

What: Saucy little vintage hat with roses, bow and veil in copper satin and tulle. Silver ‘Hearts On Fire’ earrings from Kiss My Ring, solid onyx pendant with magnet closure from Glow. Embroidered cotton tunic with mirrors and wooden beading by Romeo & Juliet Couture, trousers by Elie Tahari. Bronze and dark green peep-toe heels from Carlos by Carlos Santana, by way of Macy’s.

Confession: Before we go any further, let me say that Besame’s Enchanting Lipstick in Chocolate Kiss is a perfect shade. In fact, all of their lipsticks are incredible. I highly recommend them. Yes, they’re tiny and yes, the packaging is fussy and delicate, but you’ll get many miles out of these small wonders, especially if you use a nifty little lip brush.

I managed to snag a lovely lip brush from Fresh for 75% off the original price of nearly $30 yesterday! Also, damn you, Fresh, because you make me want your Firebird mascara and I am already in love with your Sugar Lip Glosses!

Now, I didn’t really wear this hat to work, because the busybodies would have had conniption fits all up and down the hallways, but isn’t it gorgeous? Oh, and that’s a glass of Freixenet with a splash of Odwalla’s Pomagrand, by the by. Refreshing and healthy!

NEWS FLASH: ZOMG, are y’all ready for the weekend? Tomorrow night I’ll have a fancy DJ outfit on, and the night after that a pretty brunch ensemble AND another night-on-the-town get-up, because baby is going d-a-n-c-i-n-g!
