IN HONOR OF VINTAGE :)

HI EVERYBODY !

I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT WEEKEND :)  ~ I SURE DID ..........

I SPENT SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE FABOO KASMIRA HITTING SOME THRIFT STORES. SHE WORE HER KICK-@SS HAWAIIAN PRINT "FUGLY"DRESS AND LEOPARD PRINT TIGHTS.

YOU'LL GET TO SEE MY THRIFTIES AS SOON AS THEY SIT IN THE FREEZING GARAGE FOR A COUPLE DAYS OR SO....... YES , I HAVE BED-BUG PHOBIA.

AND, THOUGH THIS MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A BIG DEAL TO MOST, I HIT THE BIG 100 THIS WEEKEND :)

OH THE PRESSURE!

I THANK THE VINTAGE VIXEN FOR HER WONDERFUL INTERVIEW AND THE CITIZEN ROSEBUD, WITHOUT WHOM I WOULD STILL HAVE A TRAVELING CIRCUS BLOG ;) YOU GUYS ROCK :)

THUS THE OMITTED "THEME MUSIC". NOW YOU HAVE A CHOICE, 

(but does anyone ever really listen to the u-tube music ;)

BUT MOSTLY, I THANK ALL OF YOU ! A BIG HELLO TO MY NEW BLOG BUDDIES, NICE TO MEET YA!  AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING TO KNOW YOU ALL :)

IN HONOR OF MY GREAT WEEKEND, I PULLED OUT MY VINTAGE CASTLEBERRY  KNIT DRESS AND WORE MY MOM'S CHAIN BELT FROM THE EARLY 70'S. THE DRESS EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL BELT, WHICH IS A RARE THING ;)  IT WAS ONE OF THE VERY FIRST THINGS I EVER THRIFTED, BUT I SOMEHOW KNEW IT WAS SPECIAL. Magic ??? I REALIZE THIS IS A TAME OUTFIT FOR ME, BUT THE DRESS SEEMED TO SPEAK FOR ITSELF, NO PROPS NECESSARY ;) ~ Boots: Banana Republic (gifty)

( This will probably one of the first things I try to sell when I get my shop going. Again the pressure! )

Unfortunately someone ripped off the size tag, but with vintage, size really doesn't mean a thing ;)

HAVE A GREAT WEEK !
xXx

Indian Fashion

I have never been to India, but I love the gorgeous style of this area. Thanks to a wonderful friend, Vix, of VintageVixen, she sent me a lovely skirt made of recycled silk Sari's, a necklace made of wool beads, a really funky sash/belt, and some cat earrings that were her beloved Mum's from the 80's, all wrapped in a silk bag from India as well ! She also sent a card that is made from a hand-painted leaf. Beautiful! My good cammy is down right now, so you will see photos of it soon. I am going to frame it. This was my first international package ! I am so honored, and have worn it twice already, but finally popped off some shots I feel are worthy of this beauty! Thanks, Vix! She is so awesome and her style is amazing! Vintage frocks, jumble boot sales ( I hope I said that right ;). a full time E-bay seller,a traveler and true Bohemian who loves India, and a dear heart. Her blog is a must read each day for me.

I paired the skirt with a billowy top and metal embellished glads and a vintage scarf, plus some giant hoops.

The vibrant colors of silk and gorgeous jewels.The art of beauty. There is nothing on earth as beautiful.

Honesty, as a Westerner, I think of Mother Teresa, Calcutta, Beautiful jewelry, Silver, Henna, Silk Sari's, ankle bells, and beautiful dark skin. Temples, lots of color, and lots of sun. A place where going bare-foot is considered lovely. I'm sure this is a skewed view, but as a fashion blog, I wanted to share the styles I most admire about India.

I hope I did you proud, Vix!
