THURS SHOW ♥ HAPPY THXGIVING DAY

It's Thanksgiving today...a holiday everywhere (except a lot of the shops are actually open tonight for early shoppers...or obsessive shoppers). What do I do on Thanksgiving if I'm not with friends? Normally I watch a lot of amazing old movies, mostly holiday related, and eat my favorite things like homemade mashed potatoes. My favorite Thanksgivings, though, have always been the ones I spent in New York...we call those Orphan Dinners because they are open to all friends who didn't fly home. 

I also love to get dressed up on Thanksgiving (once when I was a teenager, I wore a pair of long dangly Moschino earrings with giant gold hearts at the bottom). So I thought it would be fit to have a little photo post with a party girl all dressed up. 

If you're not in the States, do have a lovely day and if you are in the States, wishing you a happy holiday. xxx And thanks to all of my readers...I am so grateful to you.♡

WED BAG ♥ MARC JACOBS POLKA DOTS

I don't know if they're actually producing or produced the polka dot clutch that was in the collection currently selling because I cannot find it anywhere. BUT...you can go and buy the amazing polka dot berets (I love the fuzzy one) as well as the polka dot patent leather gloves! Which are amazing. These are a few of my favorite things. And I think it's so so amazing that they can think they up and make them for us to buy. Sigh. They're both available at marcjacobs.com.♡

it's so interesting that such a small thing could make some of us so giddy. :)

when will you ever find these again. such a nice touch on a freezing day to a plain all-black outfit. !

MAKEUP MONDAY ♥ METAL MAKEUP

Since it's getting closer and closer to the soft launch of my novel (!!!), I will be sneaking in little things here and there to sort of tease the book. Here is one of the first, (though I think the official first was the Rocker Girl shoe post and the second was the Ace Frehley Halloween post)...Here is another. I love the simplicity of the face here. I love the darkness of the vibe and I do love the clothes and hair. It's def, for me, a Metal thing.♡
