Losing Out to the Heat

Big work stuff going day today and my head is still spinning. The only cure seems to be some "Cheap Chic" from perennial favorite Twist. After all, there is a recession on...





Nikki Butler Blue Quartz Necklace, $62





Jane Diaz Silver Sculpted Earrings, $52




Ronni Kappos Multi-Charm Bracelet, $122




Tai Brass and Silver Bead Necklace, $78


A couple more from ebay.... these'll stop as soon as I've exhausted my summer cleaning haul, which should be soon. Oh, the horror of taking these pictures!

Sheer Vintage Dress
Colorful Vintage Rope Back Dress

Lastly (if you made it this far), I really can't recommend Deerhunter's Microcastles enough! Such great lazy afternoon music.

Also, the lovely Stitches and Threads bestowed upon me a beloved tag, which I will get to this week. Yay!

Our Little Venture

Look how blase Mr. Hipster cat is

A few years ago, BF and I could be readily identified as hipsters. We lived in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and sulked down Bedford Ave with the best of them.

Even before we met, the seeds had been planted. He's older than me by about eight years, so he was hunting thrift stores while I was still being chaperoned by my parents to PG-13 movies. I caught up in college. In our own little orbits, we amassed piles of clothing. I have a closet brimming with vintage dresses. He has tupperwares bursting with tees. For almost a years, our hallway has been lined with about seven or eight bags. Stuff that doesn't fit or just doesn't get worn. Finally, this weekend, we got our act together.

BF and I are now the proud purveyors of a little ebay store called UrbanvintageNYC.
I've managed to get five things in to the store so far, and I'm pretty proud of the results. Why the shameless self-promotion, you ask? Because, my lovelies, I'll be posting jewelry soon! Keep an eye out...
