Sneaky snake....

I got my perfect spring shoe almost a month ago. I first saw these in my ELLE collections S/S 07 issue. There they were in white with striped stockings in full strap buckle platform glory.

Of course I forgot they existed until I spotted them on the gorgeous Jane from Sea of shoes. Even then I couldn't find them on Yoox ( I searched daily!). Then Kingdom of style's Queen Michelle posted her white version and mentioned getting them on there as well. I thought well, lets check again. There they were in my size! It was so meant to be. Sure, it will take me a few months to pay them off but whatever they are sick! I didn't have time to properly introduce them due to all my recent trips. So here they are paired up with last months DIY shredded T.

Goldmine

Just as I thought there were no more goodies to be found, I hit a goldmine. I found these all at the same store. The metal loop leather cuff is perfection! And aren't these bangles and plastic burgundy spike bracelet meant for each other.

On the other hand who thrifts a awesome skull necklace like this??

I almost left when this gorgeous elaborate buckle gleamed out of the corner of my eye. I need to find a black leather slash belt for it.

Fire & Ice

I've had a strange fascination with bodysuits lately. So imagine my surprise when I found the mother of all bodysuits. This baby not only has crossing straps, it has a pointed cutout bust! Only drawback is the slightly too large built in cup. Oh well, It has a Azzedine Alaia vibe I can't wait to play around with. I found it the same day as this intriguing long red blazer and acid wash zipper skirt( it zips from top to bottom on both sides!!!). I'm still not sure if I need to take the shoulder pads out, What do you think? I almost like them....

Beginning of the End

I thought I was done buying vintage metal T's. Then the holy grail of Testament shirts popped on eBay and I couldn't resist. My favorite past time as a junior high student was pouring through CD stacks to discover new bands. I picked up Souls of black by Testament not knowing what it was going to sound like. I was seriously blown away by what I heard. It was probably the same feeling I had when I first heard Fascination street and A forest by The Cure, pure wonderment. I'm the type of person who loves to dream up imagery through music. This wasn't mindless roaring and screeching guitars this was poetry to my ears.

Strange Days

Today's outfit is inspired by Limi Feu S/S 09 and Giambattista Valli F/W 07 08 collection. I've been having quite the love affair with Limi's recent collections. I'm on a desperate search for the perfect sculptural white cotton top.

I'll stick to a simple cotton tee for now. I found this wonderful 80's Rodier France skirt a few months ago, I love it!

Finding the perfect trench coat is like finding the perfect red lipstick. You come close but never quite what you were wanting. I came close recently with this adorable mini trench. I'm not sure what era it's from, If it's even vintage. All I know is I love the shortness and fit. The collar is wide and the pockets are zippered! It's perfect for this schizophrenic weather we've been having lately.
