BACK ALLEY/vintage fur jacket

Quick shots before Jerrmaner and I went to a haunted house on Saturday.  Just in case I had to run,  I opted to wear my sneakers and belt bag.  Good planning on my part because I ran through the entire haunted mansion.  

P.S. I just couldn't resist buying these glow-in-the-dark Halloween gloves from the Dollar Tree.  Don't worry, they won't be short-lived...I'll be wearing these all year long.

FROM ANOTHER GALAXY/black milk galaxy black leggings

Seems like I've waited forever for these leggings, but here they are...in all their glory.  Absolutely love everything that Black Milk does and I now consider it to be my latest addiction.  I can see many more of these leggings in my future and I fully anticipate many good times with all of them.  I was a little worried about ordering these when I realized that a printed spandex legging would not keep any secrets (if you know what I mean), but I have to say that they fit better than I thought and I feel pretty comfortable wearing them...no overexposure here. 

And no, I cannot give up the Gucci belt bag...it just feels so right.  I probably need to get a second color, but I don't think that we will be breaking up anytime in the near future.

TREASURES/gucci belt bag

This is a very special post because I am wearing a blouse that belonged to my aunt and she wore it on her wedding day with a white suit. My grandma made this blouse (among many other great things). The finishing on all the pieces that she ever made was immaculate. My grandma was such a great fashion icon...always glammed out to the fullest. She is a fashion icon that I will always remember and I am lucky to have many pieces of hers today.

The brooch is a recent find. We recently visited an antique store in town called Old Glory. I found this brooch made out of pieces of vintage jewelry....love, love, love this piece! The back of this brooch is made out of an old hoop earring, but some of the others had backs made out of vintage buttons...absolutely ingenious!



This Gucci belt bag I bought long ago, but I can never let it go. We have had many good times together...nothing like a Gucci belt bag to escort you for a night on the town ( we've had many). When I was in Italy, I saw tons of these bags on the street, but not everyone was wearing them as a belt...they were wearing them more as crossbody bag. Definitely something I need to try.

The hair was inspired by Rodarte S/S 2011. Sorry it's not perfect (it's a loose interpretation), but I'm not really good with hair...especially mine. I had the feel in mind though...hope you can see a glimmer of it too.
