A Few More from Dusty Rose Vintage

When I did my little guest model stint at Dusty Rose Vintage, it never crossed my mind just how many items I ended up photographing on myself.

I mean, here I am a month later still with some of their items to show you.

So let's get going...

First up, we've got a little Kris Kross, "JUMP JUMP" inspired action going on.

The Dolce and Gabbana Backwards Denim Skirt

This is REALLY the FRONT of the skirt-looks like the back right?

Also worn in photo:

*Black floral print blouse-Anna Sui

*Red sash-Thrift Store

*Pewter square-toe heels-Calvin Klein

*Gold vintage charm bracelet-Stoop Sale

Secondly, it's time to get back to the '80s if you haven't doneso already.

What better item for channeling the decade than this wonderfully comfy and very cool

Jewel Tone Batwing Sleeve Knit Dress!

A dress like this is very relevant in today's wardrobe. It's easy to wear, so many options for styling, and it instantly gives you a huge dose of "cool" to an otherwise average day.

Also worn in photo:

*Red vintage belt-Thrift Store

*Silver vintage necklace-Thrift Store

*Black opaque tights-HUE

*Black booties-Nine West

Thirdly, a quirky print and butterfly collar...must be Dusty Rose's

Girl on a Bike '70s Print Shirt

Perfect for a lowkey Saturday afternoon hanging out in the neighborhood.

And a pairing of items I'd be down for donning again if it were not so chilly day in and day out.

Also shown in photo:

*DIY Denim Shorts-Uniqlo (originally high-waisted jeans)

*Navy tights-unknown

*Brown suede boots-Carlos Santana

*Blue beaded necklace-Forever 21

Memorial Day Wrap-up

  

Memorial Day Weekend 2009:

-Friday night went to get a mani/pedi because I knew I'd be a little more ready for summer that way.  I could walk around freely without shoes on and know that my toes were looking swell.  I chose an Essie color called "Cajun Shrimp".  Got the same color on both my fingers and toes.

-Saturday I got up and went to this new gourmet market by my house; bought some fruit and whatnot for the picnic I was hosting in Prospect Park later that day.

Only 3 people showed up for my picnic, it was a bit of a bust.  We all came back to my house and played games and drank some cocktails/beers.

Later our other friends came over and it was one of the guys' birthday.  We left the house and went to grab a bite to eat and drinks at this bar in my 'hood.

I don't know what really happened from there...oopsie!  (very typical of me).

I wore this outfit to the picnic, switched to skinny jeans before we left my house

 * Tiny Flower Print blouse, Forever 21

 * DIY, high-waisted cut-off shorts, Uniqlo (used to be a pair of wide leg jeans)

 * Vintage/thrift-store beige rope belt w/metal accents (Akron, Ohio's Village Discount Outlet)

 * Vintage Dolce and Gabbana bamboo wedges, Beacon's Closet (Williamsburg location)

-Sunday spent most of the day sleeping.  Got up and saw Star Trek later that evening.  Good movie.

-Monday, spent most of the day on the internet, thinking I will sign off and go to BEst Buy to buy another guitar for our Guitar Hero.  Dualing Guitars anyone!?!?
