Feather and Lace.

5.18.2011

Hi there!! No sun here in New York, rain, rain, rain!  This was taken a few days ago when the sun was here on a little thrift store trip with my roomie + blogger + my photo taker Brittany.  I am wearing this same outfit as I am getting ready to go to a party at the  Ace Hotel.  But switching to some docs, oh how i love my doc martins~they always save the day!!  AND I am loving wearing this feather in my hair, possibly the new bow?

outfit: vintage lace top, vintage skirt, vintage shoes, vintage mini back pac from Stella Dallas

The Gold Rush.

So this last weekend I was lucky to attend a beautiful 1920s themed wedding. A few post back I mentioned I looked to it-girl of the 20s, Clara Bow for inspiration.  I didn’t want to be to costume-y.  So I went with a “elegant + chic with a dash of retro” theme.  I made my headpiece with feathers, tulle + little white flowers.  I definitely had fun with this theme, and i think everyone else did too, so many fun hats!

If you have read my about section, you know i put a call out to The Roebling Tea Room. One of my fave spots in Brooklyn. Spring afternoons I definitely love to come here and sketch my little heart out. It is rare to find such huge spaces in New York, and the fact that they played the whole album of Hall + Oates Greatest. Well that is what got me.  You have to take advantage of the places you love in NYC, all of a sudden they could be gone, is it really true about Don Hills??

Yesterday was perfect bike weather. I rode in from the ‘burg to do some errands and a lil shopping in SoHo.  Loved every minute of it.  Here are some pics….I am really into mixing prints these days.
