emerald eyes is a mystery... she's my place of serenity.

(thrifted emerald green turban/cloche, cropped Wilfred sweater from Aritzia, Salvation Army thrifted dress, Salvation Army thrifted mustard jacket that was clearly custom made for someone, Hue leggings, and thrifted calf-lined riding boots... wow, this is an almost fully thrifted outfit).

today i decided to sport my thrifted emerald green turban/cloche. for some reason i thought i could only wear this hat if i were really dressing up but i'm not sure what gave me that idea? i love dressing myself with any sort of contrast and this one is almost too easy! i was imagining that i had to save it for some special occasions but seriously, how good would this look if worn with a pair of jeans and a simple sweater? very Audrey Hepburn. i, however, was going to a classy play titled Deep Throat. ever heard of it? it's sort of a documentary type idea around the adult film of the same title which came out in the 70s. damn, i was NOT expecting that much nudity. boobs, sure. bums? alright. but we're talking FULL FRONTAL everything. it was pretty fantastic.

i really want to wear more cloche's this fall... i have a couple of them but i could use another turban type one!

you may say that i'm a dreamer. but i'm not the only one.

a new batch of handmade dreamcatchers. i'd say i have enough now to start selling them. this all white one is actually for a friend of mine from when i interned at Opening Ceremony. her name is Kristen Oshiro and she makes this amazing jewelry and when she heard i made dreamcatchers, she suggested we do a little trade. i was so into the idea and finally we started working on our respective gifts. i am SO excited to see what she pulls together, she's using a unicorn horn pendant and i couldn't be more excited!! check out her blog, Cult of Secrets. i just love the idea of artists trading things just for the sake of trading art, don't you? no money involved, just an appreciation for each other's craft.

i couldn't be more pumped for this weekend. yes, it will be bittersweet as it is my last weekend in brooklyn, but at least i'll be leaving with a bang. friday i'm having a going away house party at my apartment, then saturday morning i'll do some packing, then in the evening i'm getting my second tattoo by the amazing Michelle at Saved Tattoo, then at night i'll be at yet another South Slope Open House where i'll actually have my dreamcatchers on display over the music area. it's going to look SO cool with little twinkle lights and the works!

(something a little different i'm trying out. i quite like it actually! i might keep this one, hang it over my bed in my new apartment).

woah it's a double rainbow all the way... WOAH.

new shoes from Macys... they're Lucky Brand and they reminded me of the Celine ones in the Spring/Summer 2010 collection. plus they were at a MAD reduced price. i decided to paint my nails like a rainbow... a DOUBLE RAINBOW just for fun.

POST #100: look, it's been swell, but the swelling's gone down.

(Naomi Watts and Laurie Petty).

i lied last time, this is my ACTUAL 100th post. the last time i was reading the tally including all of the drafts i hadn't discarded.

watched Tank Girl the other night. pretty darn obsessed. the movie was made in 1995 based off of the British cult-comic strip created by Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin. Rebecca is a "tank-riding anti-heroine fight(ing) a mega-corporation, which controls the world's water supply." she's a sexual deviant, an alcohol abuser, and has quick wit and a smart mouth... she can be amazingly crass too which is lovely. sooo? Halloween costume idea?? i also love the interludes that feature drawings from the comic. it's got a few awesome tunes too...

best quotes:

Donner: wanna dance?
Jet Girl: i don't know how.
Donner: it's okay, i brought the condoms!

Tank Girl: you gotta think about it like the first time you got laid. you gotta go: "daddy, are you sure this is right?"

Tank Girl: i'm gonna hit you so hard, your children will be born bruised!

Tank Girl: it's... really... hard for me... to play with myself in this thing.

(crazy photo i took from my window last night).

today my girl, Joy, and i had a girlies day. had a nice cup of iced coffee in the morning (12pm), went to 7th Ave Nail Salon to get our manis, then moseyed on over to the Brooklyn Flea. first stop? food! seriously, they've got the BEST food there.

(my girl, Joy, in her H&M leather knitted sweater, Sonia Rykiel for H&M bra, Acne jeans, pepto bismol "Desert Sun" Nike dunks from the Spring Opening Ceremony sample sale, Anthropology purse and Ray Ban sunglasses. Joy is weirded out that i knew every item she was wearing and where it was from... including her bra).
