bits and bobbins

3.18.2006

it’s the first day of spring! not that it makes a huge difference here in SF, as it’s felt like spring for about a month already. here i’m in the studio where i sew/design/etc., aka, the other half of the living room in our miniscule hilltop flat. a pile of things i need to alter is to the left on the back of the chair. everything is a mess at the moment. but it is reality.

one of my favorite outfits of late, though not the best shot. my photographer is at work.

-green vintage enamel clip-on earrings: thrifted
-green vintage glass bead necklace: beacon’s closet, williamsburg, brooklyn.
-green lucite cocktail ring: alexis bittar
-gold bracelets/bangles: thrifted
-gold elgin watch: inherited from pete’s grandfather.
-red sweater i restyled recently: thrifted
-white tank with flourecent orange stripes: H&M
-red-orange tank: american apparel
-black acid wash jeans!!
-orange patent leather flats: steve madden

***

off to do some thrifting!

p.s. i added a BUNCH of street fashion blogs and websites and other cool blogs to the sidebar.  check them out if you haven’t already.  the best of the best, all for you.

   Nice outfit, and sewing space. I also live and sew in a relatively small space in SF, so it’s nice to see how someone else makes it work. I also thrift a lot in SF, so I’m going to look over your blog entries and see if you reference any of my favorite stores! I just discovered your blog today and like it a lot.

   libra star: it’s a library card catalog. i scored mine about 6-7 years ago at a community college auction. i’m not sure they are made new anymore, because of the advent of computers for use for such things. good luck finding one, though!
