Totally 80's

Here's a mix of some new and thifted stuff I picked up recently. 1st is this pleather jacket from H&M. Just had to have it. Next we have this amazing tooled leather bag I spotted at Value Village. A little pricy for 14.00 but so worth it. The toggle is a tooth carved out of wood. Next we have a calico tote bag my freind picked up at the Victorian Albert Museum in London. He came home from London for a visit and was nice enough to give this to me. I bought the HUGE Madonna tote bag on ebay. Got it for a steal at 12.00. I found this working toy sewing machine from the 60' or 70's at a garage sale for 4.00. Last we have a whole whack of little girl hair accessories. I was thinking about old school Courtney Love and how she used to wear the barrettes and found all these still in the package at the thrift store!

dig!

So I found these crushed velvet platforms at Value Village awhile back. At first I thought they were 70's and then saw they were from Nine West and figured they were 90's. I also thought they were kinda ugly too but ended up changing my mind when I tried them on. There very deee-liteish. I also have been thinking of getting some of those crazy "bumpits" they advertise on tv so I can have a big bouffant type hairdo like Lady Miss Kier's.

spring

Just picked up this floral bustier on a whim at walmart of all places. They also had it in blue floral and solid black and purple. This is obviously a complete rip of the top shop verison (shown in the second picture) which I'm pretty sure was heavily inspired by Chloe's line for Opening Ceremony. For 14.00 though you can't lose! I also picked up a pair of light blue skinny jeans from walmart as well. I also got this cheek tint blush from Joe Fresh. These are only 4 dollars! Almost every superstore I went to was sold out of the pink and the peach but I finally found the pink! They remind of the really big lip balms they used to have in the 80's.

I tried to find the perfect black leather bag but just could'nt so ended up buying this fake leather version from aldo. It was only 30.00 and had my eye on it when it was full price. I also picked up this see through eggplant burnout tank from AA and also decided to buy somthing a little frivilous and picked up this striped bodysuit from AA. Kinda reminds me of a bodyglove bathing suit I think I had as a kid. I think I will wear this with my black ditto's highwaisted bells and some wedge heels.

shoes

I have been on mad hunt for the perfect pair of flats. I have bought and returned like 4 pairs of flats so far! I can't seem to find a nice quality pair that fits! The top pairs are two identical vintage mary jane style shoes from Montreal. I found these together at a thrift store one day. I never wear them but I should. I also found the red Bandolino ones at the thrift as well. The brown, silver and purple ones were all 5$ at walmart. I dont love any of them but for 5 bucks I could'nt resist. I bought and returned the amazing red suede pair from aldo. They are very cute but just did'nt fit right.I also bought and returned the black leather pair from aldo but may go back and get a similar pair because I just cant find anything else better. The last pair are my favorite flats ever from aldo which I had but had to throw in the garbage not too long ago. I wore them out and they had to go :( shoulda nailed them to the shoe tree that we drive by up north at the trailer.

new stuff

Here's some new stuff I got.I picked up these boots for 30.00 on sale from 70.00 at spring shoes. I was going to buy these at full price a long time ago so glad I waited.I finally picked up the Switchblade Sisters Hellz Bellz tee from cultist shop. The graphic is the orginal design from the movie cover but the colours have been changed. I also got my Diana F+ camera!. I can't wait to shoot some photos with this but still gotta find a place close by that will develop the 120 film for a reasonable price. I also splurged and got these aqua Ray Ban wayfarer's from eBay.

the bingo, the lotto... you know I'll never win those
