IN DALLAS

Jane and I went shopping at some of our favorite antique stores in Dallas yesterday looking for things to furnish Jane’s apartment with.  Jane is so excited to move out and have her own place.  I wore my favorite leopard coat found at the thrift store, and one of my favorite pair of Margiela shoes.

               Left this behind, but I really loved it.

Great table base.

This is wonderful.

I loved this painting.  So quirky-kind of Mulan meets Thumbelina.

Todd and I exploring the grounds at Jane’s new place.

I loved the grouping of these items.

Jane and I both thought these two made the most wonderful couple, they came home with us.

SHAGGY SWEATER

I really like this sweater I purchased from StyleNanda.  Jane and I have been frequenting their site a lot lately and I know a lot of you have too.  So how has your experience been with them?  Ours has been mostly positive–but we’re still missing a few pieces and all of the correspondence is in Korean–so I’m not always sure where are orders stand.

 

Still completely obsessed with my gold boots from YOOX.

MAGICAL BOOTS

I was so happy when these magical little gold boots arrived yesterday.  I great find on Yoox.   They’re Marc by Marc Jacobs.

I had a great time shooting them on Jane running through the woods–I’ll let her borrow them this once.  :)

You can see more of our photo shoot at SeaofShoes.

SHRIMPTON COUTURE

Over the Christmas holidays, Cherie, Jane and I were busy getting a new offering of fabulous vintage together for the Shrimpton Couture site.  It’s live now, and here is a little sneak peek at some of the items.

Amazing 80′s beaded jacket by Yves Saint Laurent.

Gorgeous Donald Brooks wrap dress.

80′s Oscar de la Renta jacket.  This piece is stunning!!!

Prada Fur cardigan.

Most incredible Giorgio Saint Angelo suede and leather applique jacket.  I would have loved to keep this piece, but it was just a little too big for me.

Hurry over to Shrimpton Courture!  Ten percent savings for the rest of the month!

POST HOLIDAYS

I’m so glad the holidays are over!  I have just a few pictures to share for now, but work should be a lot easier now that Carol is back in Wales.  We had such a great time with her home, but boy, she kept me going all day!  Anyway–here is my favorite Christmas present.  Beautiful Vivienne Westwood shoes.

Jane and Kim rolling around the hotel.  Isn’t that a cute StyleNanda fur shirt?

Courtney from Courtney Courtney Designs  made this adorable girls dress from trim purchased from our site.  Have a look, she makes so many really cute things!

Have a great weekend!

8 HOURS A WEEK

 

J.J.’s Gourmet Cafe in Tulsa.  An institution that opens for only 8 hours a week, takes only cash, and has no working phone.  Jane and I have long wanted to go, but of course, we never seem to hit at the right time.  We finally managed to eat a meal at J.J.’s this past trip, and we were served by the man himself.   Walking into J.J.’s is like stepping into a time machine stuck in the 70′s.

Heavy on the stained glass……

Kitschy signs are everywhere……

 

The burgers, which is all J.J.’s really serves, were fine–nothing to get too excited about, but good.  We really just enjoyed visiting with J.J., or Double J as his sole employee refers to him.

J.J. told us great stories of the 60′, nudist camps, and lots of psychedelic drugs.  Go for the experience alone.  J.J.’s is one of the many things that make Tulsa so much fun to visit.

Happy New Year to everyone!  I hope that 2012  brings everyone much happiness and success.  I’ve been taking a much needed break from blogging–but I think I’m about ready to get back to work.  Till then, one of my favorite photos from 2011.  CHEERS!!!!

SEEING STARS

Couldn’t resist these  Dolce and Gabbana shoes at the Net-a-Porter sale.  They still have a few pair left, and they’re 60% off!  Click  here.  Perfect shoe for a pair of black skinny jeans.  I love how they look a little witchy…..
