MADE OF METAL/hardware as ear wear

I discovered these cute screw earrings at Nordstrom.  Layering them up seemed to be the best idea...and to my surprise, I remembered that I had pierced my ear for the third time when I was 12.  Yes...it's been a long time since my third hole has actually been used.  But it works perfectly now...as I layer a zipper, a screw and a diamond (that would make a cool album name if you were ever to release an album).  Try the links below...they work and they are cool.

NEXT LEVEL/delorean sunglasses by replay vintage

We are back and jet-lagged.  Oversized sunglasses were absolutely necessary for any and all photos taken today. 

Jerrmaner gave me these sunglasses before we left on our trip.  He mainly gave these to me because he was sick of seeing me wear my mom's cataract sunglasses.  Remember these?  I thought they looked pretty cool, but these are definitely next level.  Thank Jerrmaner!

MAGICAL UNICORN/h&m unicorn top

I became obsessed with the idea of adding more unicorns to my life a few weeks ago after seeing a salt at Hazel & Dewey called Magic Unicorn Sea Salt.  I did not purchase this salt, but I often like to dream of it.  I like to believe that the grains of salt are colors of the rainbow and that everywhere it is sprinkled, magic is spread.  

In the midst of daydreaming, I have acquired some unicorns of my own.  The first purchase being this top.  What could be more magically divine than leaping horses and unicorns in an array of colors?!  I was quickly enchanted by this top.  Plus...that little pink cutie in front had me at "hello."

LUCKY NUMBER 13/margiela for h&m flat jacket

We had a lucky break this weekend...we went back to H&M and scored several Margiela pieces for $5-$20 a piece...I'm serious...I would not joke about something like this.  It was truly a New Year's miracle! 

So...I purchased the flat jacket.  I like it, but I wish it was a size smaller.  I'm not going to complain though because it was $20.  Also, I was able to wear it over this vintage Mickey sweatshirt that I also found this weekend.  I was so excited when I found my childhood Mickey Mouse sweatshirt at my mom's house this weekend.  But I couldn't just wear it sweatshirt style...had to be worn with massive rhinestone earrings and a fancy corsage.

DIVINE DUVET/margiela for h&m duvet coat

Well...here it is...my duvet coat from H&M.  This was not a "love at first sight" scenario, but after a few weeks of knowing that this item was living at the Cherry Creek mall getting no attention, I knew I had to go and make it my own.  Do I regret it?  Not at all.  Because it took a while for me to become fond of it, I believe that this is more than just a fleeting romance.  

I am wearing my coat with the cover on.  And yes, just like a regular duvet,  it was a two man job putting the cover on this coat.  Jerrmaner and I had to team up in a wide open space to make this happen, but the result is quite exquisite...in fact, I had not yet seen this coat photographed with the cover on.

As I've mentioned before, it's been cold here in Denver.  I know I cannot complain too much because it is much colder in other parts of the world.  And any excuse to whip out my fur hats is much appreciated.

BAMBI/margiela for h&m booties

With the apparent doomsday approaching, this photo seems appropriate.  Actually, doomsday had nothing to do with this photo (from my perspective)...I actually took my inspiration from a Helmut Newton photo.  Jerrmaner and I went to a Helmut Newton exhibit in Paris earlier this year and as I recap on the year's highlights, I find myself revisiting that event.  

And...yes, I purchased one more piece from the Margiela for H&M collection.  I can't help it!  This collection stands lonely in our Cherry Creek mall and I can't help but take such pieces under my wing.

FACELESS/margiela x h&m extended watch belt

I bought the last bit of my Margiela for H&M purchases last night.  It's hard to believe that such an amazing collection went on sale so quickly.  But I'm not complaining because I was able to get the duvet coat and this wonderful extended watch belt.  

Also wearing a slip that I purchased at a craft show yesterday.  I love it!  The woman that makes them buys vintage slips and tie-dyes them.  Ummm...I think I'm in love.  I purchased a cami and this skirt slip, but I hope I run into her again so that I can purchase many more pieces.
