…stuff I love… (moment of vanity)
You know what I love?
When you see something that you want in the prohibitively expensive, “there’s no way in hell I’m paying THAT much for a ___” category and then finding a suitable equivalent in a thrift shop. I am convinced that you can duchamp almost anything.
IRO Silk Shirt Dress available at Acrimony
Umm…no.
duchamped blazer and shirt
ksubi jeans
emporio armani mary janes
Talonalia necklace
MAC Pink Poodle Lipglass
OH YES!!!

You know what else I love?
This. I love this. I’m taking more and more time to learn how to construct clothing and outgrew my beloved first sewing machine (if anyone is interested, I’m selling it for $65 – email me!). Replacing it is this lovely Kenmore 16231 with two knobs and 90 stitch functions. For me, knobs are just as important as the number of stitch functions. Shwexy.

Something else I love?
The Magpie necklace in silver. Not silver plate, SILVER…like, that 925 stamped ish you get at Tiffany. Mmm-hmm. Sexy, isn’t it? It is. Trust me. For those interested, they will be $100 and made to order. If not, you can still get the brass version at Talonalia.

Another thing I love?
Eating. I got a chance to meet up with the gorgeous and talented Sui of RVXN for lunch at Native Foods, a vegan place in Westwood. I am not a vegan. Naturally, I was afraid of what was going to end up in front of me, but this was seriously some of the best food I’ve eaten.
Later, dudeguy and I took mom and lil’ sis to the Cat & Fiddle for English fare on Mother’s Day. Two words: Cornish Pasty. More words: chips and malt vinegar with gravy.
*food coma*

I will! Thank you. =)
The shirt is amazing, makes it even better that it’s not the expensive one. Paying that much for a shirt is slightly crazy to me!
Probably because i am from England, but i can’t eat chips without lots of vinegar, delicious. Glad you liked it.

I can’t take credit for duchamp. It was a suggestion on a previous post.
And duuuuuuuuuude, I’m so geeked for this machine. The first project on it is going to be MAY-JAH.
hahaha @ this is the sex. I’m using that. Thanks….

Native Foods is one of the first places Asael and I went on a date, and we haven’t stopped going since. Love it there! It was my go to spot when I was at UCLA.
I think your silky blouse totally beats that one in the photo. Also, really digging the wreckage behind you.

sheer shirted tunics and cigarette jeans are all i want to wear these days. i’m usually a master at replicatin’ & duplicatin’, but there’s this rad-ass boxing kitten tribal-y jumper that i just might have to throw down the $2oohh i should pay my rent instead. great blog you have here.

I want to be like you when I grow up, Alicia. Just super sleek and stylish. One day, I s’pose.
And Dear Got in Himmel I must have that .925 Magpie necklace. Must. Have. It. Now.
Here’s something else I love: how your photo skills just keep on improving. That’s a great play with depth of field in the first shot of the (precious) magpie necklace. Mmm Hmmm.
