As Seen On...

Thankfully I was bright eyed and bushy tailed by the time Comfest and all its attendant parties rolled around this weekend. I caught up with this specimen of grayscale cuteness Friday night.


Eeek! I just want to sit next to her in art class and ask her if she looked at Boingboing last night...


Kara. Neil Avenue.

I loved the easy elegance of her jersey separates, made work-worthy with flashy sandals and substantial bag.


Suzi and John. High Street.

The owners/operators of Collier West (highlights: bauble-encrusted ice-bucket, gigantic horn chandeliers and a serving tray upholstered in cowhair complete with horn handles) made for the cutest summer-in-the-city pair. Suzi on her look: "Whenever I lose sight of myself, stylistically, I go right back to a white tee and jeans. I could wear it for six months, however long it takes until I'm ready to go in a new direction." I loved how she added interest with her wrapped sandals and eclectic jewelry. On her store: "People are either rock stars or movie stars. This is a store for rock stars."


Dress: vintage, thrifted, altered. Vest: H&M. Gladiator jellies: Old Navy. Earrings: Rag-o-rama.

Yours truly, Friday night. In summer, I could practically live in a long black dress. Breezy and elegant without being bohemian (save for my choice in vest).

What's one outfit you could (or do) live in all summer long?

I got a vintage nightgown in time to celebrate our anniversary. It is so luxuriously comfortable that, if it weren't see-through at the top, I would wear it around the house always! Love your street fashion finds!

a_cat_of_impossible_colour: Awesome! I comment whenever and however I can! Thanks in turn!

Hailey: Ah-ha! 2 points for the maxi dress!

Lazytcrochet: Thank you! I might suggest layering it over a long simple dress, of the type that Victoria's Secret sells that have shelf bras.
