Perfect Vintage 1960s A-line Shift

I'm trying to make room for my new style crush acquisitions... So i'm thinking to put some of my 1960s stuff up for adoption. This is a perfect condition 1960s silk shantung-ish (probably polyester) ice blue dress, it has a sparkly, faux pearl enhanced collar and POCKETS! It's beautiful. Comfortable and stylish. I've gotten tons of compliments on it. I just want to really hone my Pam Grier bad-ass 1970s woman clothing collection and need to clear some pieces out.

New Cat Eye Sunglasses

Bought a pair of these today, similar to the Tom Ford pair sported by Nicole Ritchie here. Mine of course were from Forever 21, were $5, and i actually NEEDED them since it was sunny and i did not have any sunglasses to wear. So it was obviously a safety issue. :-) I like the shape, it's different than my usual bug-eye or Jackie O shaped sunglasses that i usually wear. it's good to step outside the box.

Shoe Shopping

Are you kidding me?
Irregular Choice (they have the best shoes) Rubixxi, retails for about $105.
I just love the gold and the sequins and the animal print, and you know that platform is making your legs look fantastic. these are a work of art.

July 20 - Vanessa *New Photography*

At first i thought that using my cell phone to take the photos gave a good baseline reference, but after thinking about it, why wouldn't i have good photography, when that is entirely at my disposal? So here we go, a change. It might be a little less instant, but it's worth it. Ala, my new "studio".

Pin-Up Eyebrows

I am obsessed with eyebrows, i love huge crazy ones on men, and I like a strong brow on myself, much like the one above. I have naturally blonde eyebrows (and eyelashes, wtf) so every single day, even if i am not wearing much makeup, i want to fill them in and shape them. Oh yes, and also I was a teen in the late 1990s, so of course i plucked the hell out of them, and had them waxed into perfect skinny lines, that was not a good idea. I saw this article on FB the other day by Micheline Pitt, WHAT A BEAUTY! Click here for the article
Such good instruction. I had been using brow pencil or more actually brown eyeliners, now i think i'll try a powder/eyeshadow. I've thought about dyeing my eyebrows but they are a bit sparse, so I think it wouldn't make my situation better. I don't think I'll ever have them waxed again either, so they are in my hands forever now, or at least until the trend turns again.

July 19 - Vanessa **Boblo Island**

Check out how I mimicked the shirring of the skirt in the tuck of the T shirt, a masterpiece. :-)

I love this Boblo Island shirt. It is worn to perfection, so thin and tissue-like that you can see through it, and it is ohhhhh sooooo soft.

Street Style - Cowgirls

I saw these wonderful girls at the County Fair ( my fav holiday ) rocking REAL WESTERN STYLE. Annnnndddd, they REALLY ride horses, which is awesome. These ladies have brought together the perfect trifecta of Cowgirl Style:

• FRINGE
• RHINESTONES AND CONTRAST TOPSTITCHING
• COWBOY HATS

Plus, they were really nice and friendly. I love it.
