SWAP SCORE:

few weekends back went to a super legit clothing swap hosted by a new vintage loving gal pal named Jil. she had everyone check in at the door with their items and organize them into categories based on price rage-high end/designer vintage, medium range and casual/lower end. you were given a ticket per piece in each category in turn swapping evenly so everyone left with something equally as awesome as they brought. i scored some really great pieces my favorite being an Australian suede and fur jacket Kate Hudson probably wore in Almost Famous, literally squealed with joy!
another item i went home with was the wacky vintage top below, the bizarrely random pattern immediately caught my eye!

this bag has made an LF.com appearance before but in case you are a new reader-YES IT DOES PLAY MUSIC! and pretty loud too!

all you have to do is simply hook up an ipod and JAM.

don’t you love how tights can make an inappropriately short skirt appropriate?!?!
I DO!

HOPE EVERYONE HAD A FABULOUS VALENTINES DAY!

scored a very Alexa Chung worthy vintage Talbots dress at Rag-O-Rama i’ve been wanting to style and wear out. the velvet is actually stretchy and the fit is super comfy just didn’t want to look too “Wednesday Adams” which isn’t necessarily at bad thing it’s just not typically my thing. when i was shopping and found the dress i was with a guy friend who actually made the suggestion to belt it, which was GENIUS because it really toned down the gothic vibe i was trying to avoid. take a peep at some photos i took at my new loft:

if so, you may recognize the above lil sketch called “sharp rocks” and well, now i have it tattoo’d on my right foot! the above pic was taken with my mom’s cell immediately after it was finished so it’s super puffy but it’s now basically healed. by referral i went to Charles at Only You Tattoo in Grant Park who was really nice and did a great job! thanks dude!

my new friend is sure to pop up in more posts, stay tuned for a healed photo!

don’t know about you but for me november and december have been quite the whirlwind! i’ve hit up several friend’s holiday parties as well as hosted my own all the while finding a new place to live for the next 1-2 years! (PLUSSS dealing with the additional chaos that comes with this time of year..)
with camera in tow, i’ve cataloged all the good times, fabulous outfits and home decor  transformations.
