Turquoise is the color I need to get clean
Vintage dress & clutch, thrifted top, Steven heelsI decided to pull out this rarely-worn vintage dress because, really, when is turquoise leather NOT appropriate? I wore one of my DIY cropped oxfords as a sort of jacket, which hid the fact that I don't quite fill out the boobage area (whoever owned this dress before must've been built like Pam Anderson), but also covered the back, which I love.Still trying to
Chatting with: Jennifer Merchant
This blog is an exercise in vanity for sure, but it doesn't have to be about me ALL the time, right? I miss editing and interviewing and whatnot, so I'll be incorporating some fun, hopefully interesting stuff with OTHER PEOPLE (gasp!) into the site. First up? Jewelry designer Jennifer Merchant! I first came across Jennifer Merchant's bold jewelry designs while browsing One-Offs Yippee! and noticed almost everything I liked was from her collection. Corian jewelry?
A-Line Right
So, between stuffing my face with everything from crab rangoon to cotton candy at Taste of Cincinnati and cleaning like a crazy person last weekend--I mean, I was wiping down baseboards y'all--I picked up the new issue of A-Line magazine and had a read.It includes my lifestyle feature with Leah from High Street, whom I have decided to officially adopt as my light-skinded big sister from another mister.

Tumblr Tuesday: Colorful Crochet and Double Rainbow Rainbows
Hope you had a great long weekend! Looks like playtime is over and it's back to the regular ol' grind. Here's what's inspiring me right now: Mysterious, exciting dusk has always been my favorite time of day; I like the way the world looks in watercolor; How much better would naps be in this colorful crochet contraption?; Crochet dresses can often be folksy, but this dress is just HAWT; A double rainbow rainbow of
Yellow Dip
I've been obsessing over this ultra soft tie-dyed tee from Brush Factory since last month's PopShop. In typical Tamia fashion, I didn't realize how much I liked it until AFTER the event--the same thing happens with guys. First meeting, I'm "Hey, what's up" all nonchalant, then the second time I see the same guy and he's the foinest dude I've ever met.Brush Factory tee; H&M pants; Steven shoes; vintage jewelryI don't know why
Wish List: Dark Heat
I know early summer is the time for bright colors and airy textures, but I'm in the mood for all things dark and mysterious right now. From abstract prints and muted tones, to gold accents and sleek surfaces, this is what's currently on my wish list:1. Fornasetti Sun chair, $3336 2. Morgaine Alexandra cuff, $75 3. Michelle Armas Ochi print, $20 4. Aminaka Wilmont dress $414, 5. Mi Piaci Gina bootie, $250
The sunlight draws a picture
Thrifted top, vintage skirt & jewelry, Da Me hat, DKNY heels I took some time to do my little DIY trick on a rarely-worn oxford, and paired it with one of my favorite vintage finds: a full black and gold print midi skirt. I saw this skirt peeking through the rack at some thrift store or another, and it immediately reminded me of something an elderly Russian lady in a head scarf would wear
