i found the CUTEST piece of bike paraphernalia while in Holland. i had never seen anything quite like it. i saw it in a lil boutique (which i cant recall the name of) in Alkmaar. it only cost about $14 dollars.



just look how cute this 'bikecap' sits on your bike seat during inclement weather. you almost want it to rain ALL THE TIME...hahaha

one woman's trash...

is MY treasure.
i scored this
amazing kaboodle at a
fleamarket in switzerland for

what a steal!!!

for me...

should i be spending money...NO, but did i...YES. hahaha

scarf

boots

while you were out...

rectangular black onyx in golden clasp bracelet

its the thought...

my grandmother gave me one of my grandfather's cameras. its a polaroid that came out in the early 90's...made to resemble a vintage brownie, with a popup bellow.

i was pretty excited...she even found some film. took a pic, but to my dismay, it was all a bust. the camera jams and the film didnt keep. dont think she knew to refrigerate it.
still counts in my book...

while you were out...

spent my day with the lovely Mr. Rher and found these.....

while you were out...

i get so excited when i find new pieces...especially when they are outta season. the buildup is torture...but i love it. hahahaha

here are some new spring/summer finds while i was away.

aztec tunic
actually this is a shirt...but im hoping i can pull it off as a dress. too short?? havent decided yet...

no, no...dont adjust your screen. its me...pleeeease keep in mind its january and my legs havent seen the sun in far too long..hahahaha

waterproof trenchcoat
this is super rad....you kinda have to see it in person. the tag says 100% tire nylon...whatever the hell that is. but its paper thin and has a great shine. i have never seen a windbreaker made in this typa silhouette...its so feminine. i love it!

treat...

had a good haul today for my vintage collection....but dis a-one is fo me!

my vision...

i wish i could find the pic, circa '88 of my big brother wearing his pair of VISION STREET WEAR kicks. a close second is this photo of him in the long sleeve tee. sooo cute!




i was always jealous of them, so i was beyond siked when i recently found a pair of my own. brand new for $3. HELL YEAH!!!
