Slasher

This badass-yet-feminine slashed up dress by Anne Sophie Back is so awesome.  Love these I.D. Tuttle boots too.  Both at Stand Up Comedy.

New used oxfords

Just found these yesterday at a local thrift store- I’m oxford crazy, I tell you!  I was charmed by the burgundy suede.

They are called “Aqua Skips” – suede, yet supposedly also waterproof?!  I will put this to the test.

Etsy pick: Pidge Pidge scarves

There really is something so awesome about hand-loomed scarves and blankets.

Recent Purchase: House of Harlow ring

I bought this at Revolve after a week or two of thinking about it, with a discount code found here.  Totally awesome.  I’d just like to say say that not all celebrity clothing/accessory lines are overrated- they key is pairing up with people who know what they’re doing.

Etsy picks: Studded mocs and booties

I love these slip-ons (though I wish they didn’t have a driving sole)!  The booties are awesome too. You can even send Alyssa your own brand new boots and have them customized with the design of your choice.

Dries Van Noten SS10

Oh Dries.  You never cease to inspire me with your seemingly effortless use of pattern.

Etsy find: Vintage leather perforated shoes

So, I rarely buy shoes on an impulse, especially online.  But these were totally worth it because they were a sweet sweet deal.  I can’t wait until they come in the mail.

Standard Finery Spring ’10

Love this new-ish line that was posted by Refinery 29.  Some very sweet looks for Spring.  It sort of reminds me of a pared down version of the now defunct Mayle which was one of my favourite lines.

Etsy Update: More jewelry in The Looksee shop!

Just a little note to say that I have put even more jewelry up in the shop.  By the way, if you ever can’t remember what my Etsy shop is called, I now have a badge on The Looksee homepage that will take you straight there.  I am trying to hustle on making jewelry, since I start a new job next week (woohoo!).  Here are some sneak previews.

I hand-painted these vintage pendants which were plain brass to begin with:

And made them into these:

And also put up some vintage Bakelite stickpins and a few other things:
