Greetings! I’m back from Florida (pictures forthcoming! Warning: I’ve developed a bit of a Spanish moss obsession.) and the weather in New York is decidedly open-toe. As per ush, I have been tearing my closet apart in search of weather appropriate outfits that keep me from melting upon sun contact. (This has been known to happen. You know the bully from Pete and Pete, Pitstain? Yeah, that’s me.)
I always depend on a good vintage secretary dress or two, but this spring I’m looking forward to some big ass wedge sandals, abalone and mother of pearl jewelry, raffia bags and less black (gotta leave it at the door once the thermometer tops 70 degrees!). The straw turban is the fashion equivalent of a funnel cake from the county fair (um, YES!) — and I’ve gotta get some lipstick in that color. I’m also huge into snake iconography right now, so the frilly pink snake dress seemed ideal! It’s all about light and bright.
Everything is linked to its origination, so click away!
Also! Gotta change up the playlist with the season, and nothing does it for me like the Marine Girls. This lilting, washed out video perfectly sums up my spring feelings. Boardwalks and sun and wandering!
I just bought a pair of Fly Londons – and I was trying to decide between the mustard ones you have hear and the ones I purchased. Too funny
I’m totally in love with that snakey dress and the bathing suit and the shades, too!
hear = here
excellent picks! would be nice to spend summer in these pieces.
Straw turban + snake dress = overwhelming awesomeness.
(It was very nice to meet you, by the way!)
Wonderful to meet you as well! LOVE your blog. Seriously great stuff!
lovely finds! i just remembered, after seeing your photos, that i have a vintage hinged bangle bracelet nearly identical to that one tucked away somewhere…. now i have to go find it….
Yes to all please. I too am looking forward to wedges and pitstain weather. Bring it on!
Welcome back! I can’t wait to hear about your Florida adventures and see pics. I have a Spanish moss obsession too. My husband and I are hoping to move to northern/central Florida in the next few years.
Her expression there at the top is to die for. Too cute.
Gorgeous. Love your blog.
Check out my blog if you’ve got time and feel like it. It would mean a lot.
