Happy Bday Ms. K!!!!!!!!!!

Just a quick post-- late to HH for a friend's birthday but I knew I will not get to posting after the festivities.  So here we are...

I wish I could say the dress was vintage but unfortunately I picked it up from SAKS.  It reminded of something I can get at a Mexican market sans the flower in my hair.


Bag by Michael Kors




Shoes by Enzo Angiolini. I purchased these from Dillards over 5 years ago when I was still on my parents' dime--still LOVE.

Bidi Bidi Bom Bom... Fringe frenzy

It hit 89 degrees yesterday afternoon and everywhere I turned someone was having a crawfish boil party.  I took the liberties of inviting myself over to my neighbor's party and was rewarded with the best crawfish (first time ever having them).  I know... I owe them a "thank you" gift.  It's a lot of work to eat ( involves breaking, applying pressure and sucking-- just to get the meat from the tail end) but it's so worth it.  I wish I had taken pictures of the meal and the pro-crawfish eaters around for you guys; it was definitely something to see.  For the occasion I wore...

Fringe top from Zara and a Silk Marni skirt I picked up from a consignment store in Chelsea

Fendi "colorblock" sandals: my splurge of the season so you will be seeing it quite often.



Roberto Cavalli sunglasses

And finally, a close up of the headless fashion victim.   Hope you are having a good Sunday!

Bye bye winter!

Or in our case (i.e. Texans), bye bye tumultuous fall. I lived in below fox-fur trimmed hoodie all season.  It was very lazy of me but as I have been told many times, lazy becomes moi.  That was definitely not a compliment when stated, but I was too blah (i.e mentally lazy) to care...



Ahhh, my spring dream...



I am on the hunt for this outfit--well, mainly I want, want, want the turban.  Unfortunately, I find that it is impossible to find one large enough to fit my head.  Till next time...

Flea market find... Grandma's curtains

Found this dress at a flea market in NYC, did some alterations (made it into a tube dress) and voila...


Depending on who you ask, maybe not so much voila... it does significantly reduce my non-existent boobs.  In any case, Maria from The Sound of Music will be very proud of me for mimicking her use of curtains for clothing.

Concrete... as close to the earth as I will ever get.
