190 - Barbarella

Dress - c/o Motel Rocks, Jewelry - Mostly Vintage, Boots - Vintage

Today was supposed to be the day when I wrote something engaging about Barbarella, but then I woke up with a fever of 101 degrees, so I'm lucky I can even prop the computer up on my lap, really.

These photos are old, from the days of day-glo hair. If you haven't seen the Barbrella movie, I highly recommend it. If you're looking for an affordable statement mini dress, Motel Rocks has a lot of really good ones, including one in this cut, but with a beachscape on it. The beach one is really good, but I quite like the way this dress looks kinda like a sci-fi battle scene on a foreign planet.

189 - Eclipse Day!

On Sunday, there was a crescent eclipse. Brit, Taylor, Tessa, and I drove out to Venice Beach to watch it from the sand. The whole time we were on the beach, we looked like this:

We were all on our phones trying to take pictures of the eclipse. We probably looked like total morons, but it was so unbelievably beautiful. Brit took these photos on her real camera:

Look at it! That's the sun, with the moon passing in front of it, makin' it look like a giant crescent moon in the middle of the day. It was so crazy beautiful, and Brit did an amazing job of grabbing some stellar photos.

I'm too braindead to be charming or witty today. Instead, I'm going to hurl an Etsy store at you and hope you go to check it out. So, you know all of this eyeball schtuff that's been goin' around lately? It all started with the Evil Eye trend. Now, this rad lady who runs Glow Worm Shop on Etsy has translated the trend into handmade jewelry using fake eyes and it is all reeeeeally cool and really affordable, too. Give her shop a look-see! Support small and women-owned businesses.

188 - Vanessa Mooney

AMAZING JEWELRY - c/o Vanessa Mooney, Cuff - c/o JFR, Sunglasses and Shoes - Santee Alley, Cardigan - Betsey Johnson, Shorts - vintage Levi's, Bag - military surplus

I HIGHLY recommend checking out Vanessa Mooney jewelry. It just...whoa. Like, seriously, whoa. It's all so amazing. Here are some of my favorites, besides the awesome pieces I'm wearing (spike necklace, bottle necklace, spike earrings, cuff ring, dangling bracelet):

Jewelry is the one thing on which I allow myself to splurge. I hate wearing cheap jewelry (I know, that sentence just reeks of privilege). I'll even save up for a really long time, though, to get a piece of jewelry I truly love, simply because I view it as collecting artwork. It's so timeless; I still have my great grandmother's jewelry, both as an element of fashion and as a keepsake.

I have two daishikis (they are friggin' GORGEOUS) and I love them to pieces. When I wore one on my blog...

...it got like 10,000 notes on Tumblr and 2,500 hypes on Lookbook! So, I was all, "Sweet!" And then I bought three for the store and assured Brit that people liked them and they would sell.

Umm, yeah. Nobody bought them.
