Horizons

Whats the pretty glowing pink shop on Metropolitan ave?!

Well besides Cheeks Bakerys pink-icing cupcakes, its Horizons

Vintage across the street!

Below are some photos of Briannes vintage store, and one of 

my personal favorites here located at 377 Metropolitan ave., 

Brooklyn. (on Metropolitan between Havermeyer & Havermeyer).  

She carries womens vintage ranging from the early 90's to the 

30's and 40's. A lot of designer pieces but her overall esthetic is 

interesting design and high quality. There is always a $10-20 

rack outside for girls like me (college student with a low bank 

account-hah) and the average price inside is $30-120. It is very

affordable for our regular neighborhood girls and the pretty girls 

visiting from all around who often come in looking for something

different and special. And if you're lucky, I work here some days so

you might just be able to dance and play dress up with me!

Below is where I sit and Blog to you!

Wearing my favorite coat in the store at the moment.

It has that 60's Courreges mod cream look that I love.

These shoes fit me and are too hard to resist. If they stick

around long enough they will be on my feet, so get them quick!

The textile on this dress is AHH-MAZING. Its rental only,

so stylists...*wink wink*

My favorite bracelet. It reminds me of Marc Jcobs jewels from

past seasons.

So yeah, come shop, hang out, drink some wine,

hot cocoa, or espresso & eat Cheeks cupcakes with us!

snow bunnies

The tooth pain has gone down tremendously! Thank you

for the sweet concerns. I'm actually feeling a  bit better

in general, good friends and good music can really help that.

It has been snow snow snow here! It actually looks pretty. 

I'm sure I will be grunting at it Monday morning though on my

way to midtown---first day at Paper Mag! ahh! excited. nervous.

Here are some photos of me dancing around my friends vintage

store here in Brooklyn, named Horizons. I work there, shop there,

live there practically. Its my second home. I'm sure you'll understand

why when I post a blog about it with some photos :]

I think I clearly look happier. Just wearing an oversized cream

vintage silk top with my bow tie necklace, verrry short cut off

levis, and sock man tights. The sock man has the best warm

tights in so many colors for the dreary ny winter. Of course I

mostly have black and grey tones. 

This photo came out dark but we liked the lights on the car.

The vintage coat is my latest prized posession found on Tuesday

at the salvation army for $12.99! Expect to see a lot more photos

of me in it!

! 

Here are some so cute snuggly high fashion inspiration snow

bunnies I found through Fifi Lapins blogspot:http://fifi-lapin.blogspot.com

I hope its okay I posted these! I cant get enough of the bunnies!

secret garden

Today was terrible. Without having to leave Brooklyn and

go into the city for a few weeks now, I sort of forgot how 

much I hate the subway. Especially the L train. We were stopped 

underground for at least 20 minutes total and then stopped

for more minutes at 1st avenue. Of course I was running late

for the *gulp* dentist I was forced to catch a cab all the way uptown. 

I had to get--------a root canal today. 

I ended up breaking down in the bathroom before the procedure.

Its hard to compose yourself when you feel like everything

around you is falling apart, the tooth was just the cherry on the

piled high cake with 10 layers of icing..

Now in bed, watching the secret garden and another netflix

afterwards. Here are some beautiful photos by Rony Shram

and Denise Grunstein inspiring me to uplift my mood. It doesnt

help that it is January. January - March in New York is no sunlight

and too many layers of clothing.

 

I love the colors and femininity  in the clothing and actions. 

These photos are very secret garden. It makes me miss my

summers in Cape Cod, playing dressing up

& bicycling around.

tooooth aches are such a downer.

pain pain go away, please don't 

come back another day.

friend & feather

Continuing photos from yesterday..

yay

Me wearing one of my most cherished pieces from

Samantha Pleets f/w 08 collection, which she gave me

for interning last semester. 

hello slouchie

Chantal chaneling YSL f/w 08. even the hair!

Naomi making soy pudding aha. It actually turned out 

quite tasty & successful!

Then we were off to the Richardson for Susanahs birthday.

And yes, I did have a little wine.

Photo overload! & finally a photo of Illians cat, Pigeon. I visited her

new apartment tonight and thought this would be a fetching photo.

I finally got some netflix in the mail today. Currently watching, 

You Can Count on Me. A real downer! And the one I really wanted

to watch, Marvins Room, featuring two of my faves Meryl Streep &

Diane Keaton had a slash in the DVD! Grrrr Netflix people for not

checking.

Sleep tight!

dreamcatchers

Today was so much fun. so eventful. I ended up  helping 

Naomi, Ann, and Hilary find an apartment. We looked at

a few loft spaces. These are some photos from one of the 

roofs.

Thats silly me in my Margot Tenenabaum vintage fur. 

and of course my 60's buckle up chloe like heel booties.

Blogger is being really difficult with downloading photos.

Does anyone else experience this? I'll have to post photos

of the rest of the night tomorrow. It is way past my bedtime.

catch your dreams.

party pooper

Ugh I know I have sad this before---but really, I never want

to drink again! Last night Jade hosted a potluck. So much fun

filled with food, wine, and laughs. But hitting the local bars

afterwards was a mistake. I really dont like waking up feeling

awful the next day. Naomi and I just lounged around today and

got dinner and watched Rosemary's baby for inspiration. Naomi

is going to make me a 60's bell shaped trapeze dress. She interns at

Oscar de la Renta and Proenza Schouler and is an amazing designer. 

I'm so excited for my dress!

Its cold enough for fur thats fur sure. Vintage & faux only, 

of course.

I'm really tired. Sorry to be a bore.

whos the stud?

Ahh yes, inspired yet again by Givenchy. Givenchy somehow

sneaks into my style and daily dress code, however today 

was quite obvious; studs. 

I d.i.y. these boots with little gold studs. They were a boring

pair of vintage black riding boots. I want to put more on

its just hard and it hurts my hands hah.

I had a boring friday, therefore boring style. I have been feeling

depressed. I guess my fashion sense is showing that. I mean I 

love black---but I have been wearing it overload.

sorry for the low energy. Now having a cup of hot cocoa

and going to sleep a lot..

New New New

So its the new year. I have returned from my New England

adventure! Thrifting in Maine and partying the new year in

Boston. Unfortunately I was so busy I didnt even take that 

many photos! Oh well. I did however get a bags full of goodies

at a few sal armys and thrift stores in Maine. I must post photos.

Ugh new years eve was so unbearably cold in Boston, so we just 

had a small party at Jades friends place. An over-layered unexciting 

outfit & cheap champagne. But I'm not complaining, I had 

tons of laughs and I think next year its time to celebrate the

new year in a warmer climate. 

well I am back now in cozy lovely charming williamsburg. 

Verrrry exhausted. So dont mind the lack of information and

creativity.

Here are some things that I anticipate for in 09:

-travel travel travel! Coasta Rica in March and Paris

Berlin & Copenhagen in the summer

-Paper Mag internship

-graduation! 

- moving into a bigger apartment

-falling inlove

& so much more shopping! such as finally buying the 

alexander wang bag ive been drooling over since i first spotted

it

And chhhhhcheck out the new Versace Ad's.

Kate looks like the ever-so-young looking, gorgeous

creature she is. And that dress! Now that is Lara

dress. 

I heart it!

Happy new year kittens.
