Introducing the nuttiest thing $3.50 can buy: a feathered jumpsuit.

What?! Where do I live, because I want to move there!
Also, how life was possible before the storage unit, I will never know.

Like my DIY racks fashioned out of chains and old canopy poles? Perfection +1. And there is still all this room…

Obviously I’m not a big believer in maximizing space usage at […]

Some of the things I will be needing comes Fall. Thanks!

This last one will be my interpretation of a photographer’s vest + backpack + purse. NEED.
And if I were to be blessed with only one single item, it would this Oh Em Gee from Rick Owens

ELBOW WINGS, YOU WILL BE MINE. It’s a beautiful jacket with elbow goatee. Bowtee Jacket?
And if […]

Favorite season: Mango!

Photoshoot was AWESOME.
Slow start without the usual beloved team, but it turned out really good after all. Always fun to work with new peeps. Photos, and maybe a tiny video, will be up on optarevintage.com when I have time to edit down shots and put stuff up for sale. Probably not until after this work week madness.

It started with (well, actually it started wayyy before this, but for the sake of argument…) me wanting something Marc Jacobs. I don’t know why (I do, actually, but I’m pretending.) because I’m not one for expensive brands. […]

My dad had this perfect pair of well worn black leather boots that I loved. There are many photos of me as a tiny tot walking around in them. They would about hit my knees back then.
I often come across similar ones at thrift stores, which always remind me of my dad’s original (which are still too big.) Finally, a couple years […]

I’ve been trying to keep mum about the 2nd shoot for Optare Vintage but can’t do it anymore because I’m about to BURST. So here’s a really quick sneak peek, and let’s pretend this post never happened!
I AM SO EXCITED about listing the second batch in the upcoming week. Full editorial will be up on Optare Vision when I’m done […]
