Marc Jacobs and a Jacket My Great-Grandmother Made

From my old house in Houston.

Soho Sightings.

Jasmin, Spotted on Houston St

Jasmin, of Vintage Vandalizm, spotted after dark on Houston Street at Billy's Antiques. One day, I want to grow up and be a classy lady that has amazing hair, perfect makeup, amazing back seams and the most perfectly tailored winter wear with a lot of chutzpah who sounds just as confident and in charge as Scarlett O'Hara. For now, I am continent to wear my beat up brogues, torn tights, and bright red lips.
However, back to Jasmin, check out those studded leather gloves! The fascinator hat, the fox fur scarf and studded leather gloves all worn together?? This outfit is insane in the best way, so elegant and fierce at the same time.

 

 

 

Joby, Bushwick

The Cutest Couple I know

My good friends, Clark and Julia, photographed in Bushwick on a really lovely day during the summer. They moved to Portland a while ago and I miss them so much. Clark, no matter what, always looks dapper. Julia traveled all around the country, sometimes by train or by car, and around Europe, living out of a suitcase. Most of her clothes are from the thrift store around the corner from her house and she always, without fail, looks like a beautiful vintage lady that lives in a refurbished barn in the middle of a tall, green forest and drinks wine while she paints.

Green Collars and Coffee

Red Jeans and Leopard Print Heels

There's a lot to love here, where should I start? The red jeans, chambray button down, leopard print heels, beige buttery leather tote and round John Lennon/1920's sunglasses? Yup, all of that. Combined that I saw her in front of a cute green house and she was just sauntering along to a lunch spot? Check that as well. The thing I really like about this image is that she looks really put together and almost conservative, since she's wearing jeans, heels and a button. However, then you notice that she's wearing leopard print shoes and bright red jeans, and then it becomes a super interesting outfit.

Cha Cha, Julia St

There is just something wonderful about a pretty lady with tattoos and high waisted pants. Maybe it's because I always idolized the super sexy rockabilly girls at shows, but I've always admired a lady in pencil skirts or high waisted anything with tattoos and vintage accessories. L-O-V-E

 

Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Lady Davie Crockett, with Short Shorts and Fur Tails.

It was ninety degrees out when I photographed this. I love the juxtaposition of the fur with her moccasins, short shorts and tube top. It's got this lady Davie Crockett vibe to it.
