Clockwork



















Hat - thrifted, Ramones shirt - boyfriend's borther's that I DIYed, Snakeskin print bandeau - Penny's  Belt - mom's, Pants - thirfted, Shoes - Kmart, Purse - vintage (coming soon to the shop!), Necklace - thrifted vintage



So I pretty much wear this shirt nonstop so I figured I might as well snap some photos. I am so excited for this purse to hit the shop, it's one of those 80's clock purses and it actually keeps time so it's a DOUBLE WHAMMY!  Also, I'm obsessed with this belt I stole from my mom, score! 

I am so excited for my FIRST PAIR EVER of Jeffrey Campbell's to arrive, I ordered them the other day from Nasty Gal while they were having their huge sale, which today is actually the last day so if you haven't checked it out yet what are you waiting for!? I have been wanting the Tardy Boot for forever but they are sold out everywhere so I settled for the Tripoli Cutout Boot.

Call me crazy but it was extremely hard for me to even spend $100 on shoes. They're so beautiful though, how could I not? Well I have to get to work where I will spend my day petting cats and playing with dogs, be jealous ;)

XX,
Crystal

Red Quilted Coat







                           







Coat- Vintage from Casablanca Vintage, Lion head chain necklace - coming soon to Joy Destroy Vintage, random tank top, thrifted vintage belt, shorts- vintage pants sewn into shorts, tights - H&M, shoes - Kmart, and of course my baby kitty


Finding a vintage piece you've been looking for for like EVER is the best feeling! I've been on the hunt for a really cool belt lately and was surprised at how hard it was. I really wanted one with chains in the front, sort of like this one, which just happens to look a lot like my necklace above that I will be posting in the shop this week, or one with a cool buckle. I was so happy when I found this one the other day while thrifting. 

I also wanted a pair of tapestry-esq shorts and was really excited to find these vintage pants that fit me PERFECT and I was able to make them into shorts. I kind of just want to make like 20 more pairs. Hopefully I'll get really good at sewing and be able to customize all kinds of different size pants since there are so many cool vintage fabrics but the pants don't quite fit.

Oh yeah, isn't this quilted ruby red coat amazing? Only like $15 at one of my local favorite vintage shops, Casablanca Vintage. Check it out if you're ever (rather unfortunately,) in Cincinnati!

PS - I'm getting a hair cut on Thursday, I can't wait to get ride of this stupid mullet thing going on on top of my head
