[Vintage Ralph Lauren Skinny Belt] Mom's closet
[Flatforms] Ecote
[Bag] UO

I am in love with this necklace sent to me from Salty Fox Jewelry. It's another amazing piece from their Aria Collection and I can't stop wearing it! I wore it on my roadtrip to Vegas as well, and the industrial/brassy feel of it went so well with the post-apocalyptic theme of the Vegas desert.

What do you think of my experiment with the head scarf look? I didn't think it'd work on me because my hair is thick and heavy, but it didn't turn out half bad.

It's been a few weeks since I've moved into my new place and I'll STILL on the hunt for decor and furniture. I've got some pretty exact things in mind (Native American print curtains and cheap persian rug?) but have no idea where to find them! So my bf and I tried looking in a few places around the city, mainly in the Mission and SOMA.

I did find one piece of furniture, it's a 1910-1920 period chest of drawers. I'm going to paint it black and put my jewelry and hats on it. I will be sanding and painting for hours this weekend but the finished product will be worth it!

Expect LOTS of home decor photos once I'm done with the place!! Im super excited to share my new home.

Oh wow, that is such a neat necklace that you recieved! It's so simple so you can probably do so much with it. :D Sometimes, I think the simpler geometric kind of necklaces like that are the best.

Your sunnies are precious as well. You sure know how to accessorize, lovely lady!

Analisa said...

Oh my gosh! Can you show us how you tied that scarf?? I've been dying to find a new way to tie it, but I have no idea how to do this. Did you wrap it around your head twice? & how di dyou fit in in a knot??

You look AMAZING - "not half bad' - it looks fantastic! Definitely retro- but in a very very good way.

Can't wait to see your home decorating! I'm sure it'll be superb.
