An optimist will make constraints an opportunity for creativity. I’m not going to lie, lately I’ve been experiencing some economic restraints, and shopping a couple of times a week isn’t really something I can do at the moment. But looking back on it, my shopping habits were kind of crazy, buying new stuff, maybe wearing [...]
It started when I caught wind that Minnie Wilde was having a sample sale, and I couldn’t really go there without going to Painted Bird. Then it was so nice out this weekend, that riding down to the Mission would make for an ideal day. In total, I spent about $164, which purchased two dresses, [...]
For some reason, I always miss my hot pink shoes. Gave them away a year ago, and it’s like a phantom limb… so I just won these vintage pink flats on eBay. Perfect Sunday shoes…
Can’t wait to get them!
It’s always interesting to see how a trend will play out. I remember earlier this year, people were making a big deal over the ‘new silhouette’ something that wasn’t so form-fitting hit the general population. I personally think it’s good to have your options open. Lately since it’s been colder, I’ve been living in [...]
Usually, you would have to do something really special to get a peek into my closet. As you can see, it’s a total mess. I gave away SIX bags of clothes, and still nothing would fit in there. My boyfriend asked if he could have some closet space, so I tried clearing even more out, [...]
Yesterday, I finally got the pair of black lamé leggings I’ve been wanting since, um F&Art first posted about her latex stockings. On my way home, I stopped off at LF (those ladies are soo nice!) on Union Street and took a look at their sale, ended up walking out with a pair of jeans, [...]
Last night on my way home, I stopped in my local thrift shoppe, Out of the Closet, and picked up a few items on the cheap… one of them being a striped tie. I immediately wanted to play dress up, like a sexed up Annie Hall or something…
Since beginning my new blog The Poste Office, [...]
“The coldest winter I ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco.”
It’s Memorial Day weekend. I imagine other people are water skiing on a lake somewhere. But when you live in a place that’s cool in the summer, like San Francisco, or if you live on a coast with a Marine Layer, [...]
As much as it sounds nice to be able to buy a new item of clothing every time there is some new event, the reality is that it’s bad for the bank account. Believe me, it is. So let’s take advantage of a few trends for ‘07, and that is, short and volume. I have [...]
I got this for $12 at Painted Bird. Something made me buy it. Thinking I’d never wear it, I ended up wearing it within two days of purchase. It’s fun wearing a jumpsuit, and it’s fun getting strange stares on the street.
