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?

Wholly Craft

Wholly Craft usually has such restricted hours that it's usually closed when I stop by. So I had to be there for a show they had Friday night as it might be the only opportunity to browse... naw'm sayin'?


A small swath of the crowd... some more animated than others.

Kyle Sowash played solo.


The Super Desserts played next... I dug the ukelelist's gold 40's pump/acid wash jeans/vest/plaid shirt ensemble.

Have I mentioned lately how the ukelele is the perfect female instrument?

The damned cute Marcine from wardrobe_remix rocks her ukelele daily.

I inherited one, surreptitiously, and it looks terrific but on account of its condition is strictly a prop.


I picked up this sweet squirrel pin, and wore this:

Jacket: American Rag. Dress: vintage, shortened. Clutch: thrifted. Shoes: Steve Madden.

Tuesday, for those who are in the area, is "Puppy Night" at Gresso's -- bring your puppy!

As Seen On...

Arlington Avenue, 8:15pm.

Joanna, Reese's Lover and Former Dog Walker.

So crisp and cute (love the bow!), I was extra shocked to find that everything she had on was from Old Navy.

As Seen On...

Wednesday Night, The Funny Bone.

Whitney: "I work at Radio One and I'm also a student."

I loved how her wide corset belt provided a sexy edge to the flirty shape and wild print of the dress.

Wendy, "I'm an Ohio Roller Girl."

This girl was outrageously vintage-tastic, from her 1950's wiggle dress, to her disco-era bag and her grandmother's new-in-the-box from the 1950's pumps, in the same peacock blue as her dress. Brights love you, girl!

Kenny: "I design custom sneakers and t-shirts."

As soon as glitter hits my peripheral vision, I have to find the source. Kenny had on the sweetest pair of sneakers I've seen in awhile, his own custom design. The glitter effect was awesome! But you'll just have to take my word for it, as my camera couldn't really wrap its mind around it.

Dear God, I need a new camera!!

Right Up (and on) My Alley

I have no idea what The Sewing Circle sounds like, but if it involves chicks in a band and a sewing theme, there's really no way I can't be there.
