He's a Magic Man.

I attempted to do some thrifting these last few weeks before leaving the country, but all trips essentially amounted to nothing.  It's always disappointing when you go through a period of misses, but I guess that's what makes your next finds so special.  I just wish we had a better selection of thrift shops where I come from.

So, due to the fact that I'm craving vintage, I stopped by the Prance and Swagger etsy shop to check out the selection, and lawd, if only I wasn't hoarding my money for England.


Blah this hat!  Today Ma and I went to Marshall's to buy a piece of carry on luggage (doing things last minute is my bag) and I found a similarly soft and slouchy Cynthia Rowley hat with some tuft of furry material in a position analogous to these feathers.  I couldn't get Ma to buy it for me, but perhaps that's a good thing, because I want this so much more.  


Usually the classic band Ts just don't do it for me because the whole look has just become too mainstream.  But I certainly couldn't pass up a Heart shirt.  Try to understand, try to understand, try try try to understand...


I like my dresses knee length or shorter and fitted to my curves, and the shinier one is, the better.  So, this dress and I were made for each other, yes?  I can't deny that I am drawn to most (Re: all) things gold lame.  Wish I knew how to put the accent on that e.

Okay dolls, here's the deal.  Tomorrow I'll be catching my flight to London, and it's probably going to be a few days before I can get my shizz together and let you know what is up.  Fear not, I am going to return armed with photographs and hopefully amusing stories about the mishaps I inevitably create.  Please e mail me or comment with any of your recommendations for things I should see/do in London while I spend my first month abroad there!

Final note: Of late I've been receiving some of the sweetest notes from readers on IFB and through my e mail.  Hearing from you means the world to me, and it always leaves me giddy and inspired.  Quick shout to the lovely writers behind The Button Owl, Apples and Oranges, and Seven Style Notes - three blogs you need to check out.  Please don't hesitate to contact me with your questions, comments, or whatever, there's nothing I love better!
