billy reid tee / $7
Billy Reid had a warehouse sale last weekend in their original space,
which happens to be around the corner from me.
Amazing deals and you know I love a deal. This tee retails for $48.
I also got a $900 coat for $189 and black moleskin pants for $29 which retail for $250.
Zing!
So…dating life (grrrr).
I shut off my Okcupid for a bit.
Met a lot of men who were very…nice....

thrifted vintage givenchy pants / $4.99
When I found these vintage Givenchy’s, they were too small.
Dismayed in the dressing room, they were also too fantastic not to free from the thrift store ($5!). “Givenchy” lined from waist to hem. Funny.
I put them on ebay at a high price (cause they’re amazing) but they did not sell.
My logic was if I couldn’t get top dollar, I would keep them,
hoping and...

thrifted leather mens belt / $2.98
Fair Park Hall of State.
Whoa. That’s some pretty gross rust. Didn’t see it until the close up photos.
Let’s call it “character.” No, no! “Patina.” For the sake of the blog.
Now for a poll.
What do we think ladies and gentlemen?
Just…in general…
I love you? I love you not? love VS love

vintage black suede & leather dress / $14.50
A very good dress!
Buffalo Exchange Long Beach.
There was a shop tag marked $110 attached.
Very soft and easy to wear.
I biked to the beach in it!
Score, right?
A ladybug was hanging around.
Probably wanted to join in on the red accenting.
I’m lucky to have the getaway to Long Beach available to me.
Belmont Shore is so beautiful. peaceful. quiet. mellow.

brother hoodie / $free
Had about a day and a half of colder-than-you-expect-in-Cali weather.
I was underprepared.
So, on Wednesday, grabbed a hoodie from my brother’s closet and belted that sucker up.
Also, the neighbors have a cool old Chevy.
And FYI the ratio of skateboards Long Beach:Dallas? About 40:1.

long beach in instagram
Oh man was I craving that Peruvian ceviche up there. El Rocoto.
Did not disappoint.
These are instagram photos.
It’s an iPhone app that is essentially twitter but a picture feed, rather than text.
Enjoyable!
Use it? My handle is “mos_steph”

lace back & side tank / $4.50
Half off at Buffalo Exchange in Long Beach.
It’s been a productive couple of days.
Cleared up a few things I was indecisive about.
Feels good.
Fresh environments generally stimulate me in a positive direction.
Or, at least, start the engines.

change of scenery / $80
AA.com on the wing tip. Very nice.
On Saturday I got the notion to get the hell outta dodge for a few days.
And one two three four everything came together to get on a plane late Sunday night.
Ready for the palm trees?
Answer : YES.
See? We’re feeling better already.

"pearl" ring and martin+osa shirt / $free
Guess where these items came from?
Worn thrifting today.
I found nothing.
Nothing!
I’m getting pickier.
One date this weekend.
And trying a new dinner spot with friends.
Have a good one.

owl ring / $free
We all need a friend like Randi.
A friend whose closet clean outs generate tons of free loot.
I would guess this owl ring came from Forever21, except that it has significant weight to it.
He’s cute, yah?
In other news, I’ve been into folding & slouching down my black boots lately.
Really changes up the style compared to wearing them full length.
Aw, versatility.

fuschia piplette dress / $free
Another of Randi’s rejects.
Hooray for free dresses!
Double hooray for free dresses with pockets.
Have I ever shown you my beloved vintage, golden, duramesh wallet?
You know I love the duramesh. And I love this wallet so.
It has fallen apart, but no luck finding a replacement.
I’ve repaired it multiple times by sewing the top mesh to the zipper area.
You can see my...
