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. :P

-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

  1. hellooooo, pretty lady! i like this outfit, too. especially the black acid wash jeans!


  2. 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.


  3. i always look forward to checking in on your posts. your use of color is inspiring as i am more of a neutral girl. i also wanted to give you a big thanks for adding me to your list of blogs!

  7. 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!
