Booty: Blingtastic

On a lighter note… Back in Jennineworld…A couple of months ago, I started looking for a ring. For some reason, I really wanted a nice right-hand ring that I could wear. Ok, the reason is obvious, a girl’s gotta have some bling, and I haven’t been dating for a very long time, so getting one [...]

Booty : Second Hand

I was out and about today, trying to be good about shopping, but I caved. Painted Bird on Guerrero, is fast becoming my favorite shop, it’s nothing short of awesome. Thank god, it’s on the other side of town, so I have to make an effort to go there, but today I happened to be [...]

Shoe D’Jour: Vintage Grey Sandals

Today is soo lovely out, and people are streaming the streets wearing sunglasses and shorts. I stopped by one of my favorite boutiques in the neighborhood, Mascara Vintage, and got these. I love grey! And I don’t know if it’s the age of the leather, or they were made that way, but they’re slightly crinkled [...]

Shoe D’Jour: Oxford pumps

Booty : Shiny Black Dress

A while back, Agathe from Style Bytes wrote about garbage bag dresses, and Kate Moss’ collection has the black lame dress, I’ve been coveting for about a month or so. When I saw this dress at Zara it was so exciting. It’s a bubble dress with a snake print, and it’s got a bit [...]

Booty: Trying something new

When I wrote the story about Ms. Claw Money on The Coveted, I liked her site, and her new designs, but I thought I wasn’t ready for the new vintage look. Today, when I was on my way to the gym, I stopped by my local thrift shoppe, to find this blouse and [...]
