{ down by } the boardwalk

{ vintage yves saint laurent sunnies (last seen HERE, where someone asked what i payed for them on ebay; i think it was around $150?), kelly framel obsidian skull necklace and chartreuse tiger's eye tassel necklace + new wrap bracelets (coming soon!), banana republic heritage vest, vintage fringe bag (last seen HERE), vintage calvin klein dress (i recently hemmed off 18" and love it more than ever!), corello shoes (last seen HERE), adorable papillon puppy }



i love to travel, but not nearly as much as i love being home with my bunny dog. while i was away in vegas, an earthquake sent shivers through new york city, and i was so worried for her i couldn't get back fast enough! we celebrated with a long walk by the williamsburg waterfront, plus lots of snuggles and belly rubs. now, apparently, we're facing a weekend hurricane. i'm wishing for everyone's safety over the coming days.

in happier news, i'd like to extend overdue congratulations to virignia zint for winning our ellignton handbags giveaway!

grazia.it recently asked me to style up two denim looks: since this trend is not in my go-to comfort zone, it was a fun challenge. ended up putting together two similar-but-different ensembles, composed of the sort of staples that almost everyone has laying around: slouchy jeans and stripey tees. click over to grazia to see more!!
