We start with a thrifted, navy boatneck sweater.
A couple of bucks & a current favorite.
The sleeves are subtle-y batwing-ed. (I like to say fake “-ed” words in a
Mike-Meyers-performing-beat-poetry-in-So-I-Married-An-Axe-Murderer-
kind of way.)
Jeans & Sesto Meucci loafers : Buffalo + thrifted.
Next is a coat I grabbed a few months ago.
A good weight for...

hi. i'm not in brazil.
Hi friends.
Welcome to the day after Thanksgiving.
I should be living it up in Brazil.
But I am not.
Apparently, Brazil is one of 5 countries we Americans must get a tourist visa to visit.
FYI, the other 4 are : China, Russia, India and Bolivia.
woe is meeeeee!!!
Getting turned away at the airport is (not) AWESOME.
But life goes on.
Instead, I spent my bday getting a body wrap and...

See you sometime next week.
Happy Thanksgiving dinner to all.

BCBG skirt ($14.95) and birdie necklace ($12) from Beacon’s Closet in Brooklyn.
It’s been an interesting week.
These photos are from tuesday.
I tried to do things normally this day.
Last night I took a tai chi class for the first time.
I’m intrigued.
I will go again.

miss her much
ruby’s heaven:
She lived with me in nine different apts & houses in
New York, Los Angeles, Portland and Dallas.
15 years of greeting me at the door,
dropping & rolling around for pets.
She would charm even the most serious of
“I don’t like cats” people into cooing and petting submission.
The sweetest girl.
I will miss her much.

may the wrap be with you
Ooooo I love my Toms Wrap Boots so!!
If you aren’t familiar with Toms,
the hunky founder, Blake Mycoskie,
was inspired to create the company while vacationing in South America
where he saw children who lacked opportunities (like schooling and healthy feet)
because they could not afford SHOES.
For every pair of Toms purchased, a pair of shoes is literally placed on a child’s...

up high my brotha
Something else I found at the Austin Thrift Town last weekend. usa! usa! Brooks Brothers Khaki Shirt Dress $5.99.
This was right after I put it on,
so wrinkles must be expected with this one.
Or maybe I need to take some starch tips from Giuseppe.
I’m thinking of dying it navy.

couldn't leaf without it
Isn’t this just THE CUTEST dress you’ve ever seen? NO!
It’s hideous.
But I had to bring it home ($4.99)…
Was it the rough, coral fabric?
The pleated sleeves?
Buttons that read “hope?”
Nope!
Grey dress picked up at the Austin Thrift Town ($7.99) over the weekend.
I got a nice little pile of good stuff there.
Stay tuned for more.

thinking threads
Have you noticed these tees at Whole Foods? Threads for Thought. $10/ea
Soft, comfy, sustainable.
This is my second in a few months.
If I get the opportunity to snap my new Toms vegan wrap boots,
this’ll become gee.why.aren’t.all.clothes.done.right-week.
I’m so excited that I just can’t hide it.

we're losing the light
eh. fall is officially upon us, as of today, in Dallas.
As you can tell by the light in these photos,
I’m about to lose my photo light.
Cooler temperatures offer a few fun perks,
but I’m NOT looking forward to the dark.
Since I won’t be able to take as many pics,
I plan to spend more time on Hollywood Broke My Heart,
install something on my large, currently empty, loft...

scribble flutter
This thrifted Isda & Co skirt always gets lots of hellos.
It pleases me to find longer skirts like this & wear them at my high waist.
There are soooo many skirts that can be worn as such,
but I just canNOT find high waisted pants (that aren’t ridiculous).
Why is this?
Very disappointing.
I neeeeeeeed a few pair.
