Penny Lane

(vintage fur jacket, h&m leather pants, vintage hat, vintage leather cowboy ankle boots)

It was finally cold enough yesterday to break out one of my vintage furs.  I must admit to by fur addiction- I've been hoarding these furry friends for years,  I must have at least 15 or so at this point. 


I love these boots but they're a tad to big on me- check out my etsy if your interested in including them into your wardrobe.

The Velveteen Rabbit

(forever 21 dress, h&m shrug, deena & ozzy shoes, ghastly tights)

I don't think I will ever tire of a "baby doll dress".  They're sort of my go to look for fall and winter.  Especially with a empire waist- it can hide the few extra lbs you pack on during the holidays (wink wink).  I love this little crushed velvet number- it's a gorg wine stained red and completely seasonal.  These shoes, dear lord- I swear I have wrecked them into oblivion.  I've owned them for over a year & 1 1/2 now- they've trampled through the streets of New York, the treacherous snows of Buffalo, pick up games of football (kidding!),  dive bar bathrooms and the like.  They look like shit- but maybe that's the appeal at this point?! Grunge galore.

(vintage blouse, uo bra, forever 21 wedge)

I found this vintage lace blouse stuffed in the back of my closet.  Who knew you could find such luxury buried away!  I suppose I'll have to organize more often.  

"Death is her boyfriend
She spits on summers and smiles to the night
She collects crowns made of black roses
But her heart is made of bubble gum

I'm gonna jump the walls and run
I wonder if they'll miss me?
I won't miss them.
The cemetery is my home
I want to be a part of it,
Invisible even to the night.
Then I'll read poetry to the stones
Maybe one day I could be one of them..."

I am throughly exhausted from an insanely hectic weekend! Mass Appeal, the annual runway extravaganza for which I dj, was a smashing success--honestly the best show I've been involved with to date. The afterparty my dj partner and I hosted at Soundlab (Shock & Awe) was also amazing! An inspiring turnout, everyone was dressed to the nines and danced until dawn. Special thanks goes out to Jessa, my dj partner; Mass Appeal's fabulous producer Erin Habes; Brandon Davis at Block Club magazine for his design finesse (he created the fantastic afterparty poster); and all the hundreds of others that volunteered their time to Mass Appeal.

I wore this outfit to dress rehearsal. It's comfy and cozy and perfectly effortless. I'm kinda obsessed with this turban; it hasn't really left my head since its purchase. Somehow I ended up misplacing my makeup kit in the madness so I've been sporting leftover halloween makeup for the last few days, but I think it still works.

Sunday was spent in lazy abyss. Craig and I went to see Megamind in 3D. I'm usually not interested in the 3D movie experience--we actually attended that showing by accident--but it was surpisingly awesome! Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

welcome to the masquerade

 

Tonight is the night! MASS APPEAL has finally arrived!  I'll continue the party at SHOCK & AWE: Masquerade event! Masks on! More pictures to soon follow!

The Rocketeer

 

(H&M top, JC mary rox wedge, f21 jewelry, f21 jacket)

This outfit was semi-inspired by one of my favorite movies growing up, The Rocketeer.  I'm not sure if it's the colors, the paper bag waist on the shorts, or the general aviator vibe of this shearling jacket, which is just about the warmest, coziest piece for fall! I know shearling has been popping up everywhere this season--boots, bags, jackets.... What are some must have fall pieces for you?

In other news Jessa and I (my dj partner) are gearing up for this Friday's fashion show MASS APPEAL. It's our third year in a row providing the music and I must say I'm really pleased with our choices this time around!  I'm typically more of an indie girl at heart, with my favorite artists being the likes of Twin Shadow, Rufus Wainwright, The National, Darwi Deez, Best Coast, Bon Iver, Arcade Fire etc.....

BUT right now I must admit to truly enjoying some of the more fluffy pop sensations riding the current airwaves.  I'm thoroughly enjoying Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream," Rihanna's "Only Girl (In The World)," that G6 jam... just to name a few.  I can guarantee this runway will be filled with a mix of  indie hits as well as pop sensations :)

Hope everyone had a lovely Halloween,  I'm still recovering!  Loving maxi's especially this one with such a graphic print.
