i've been meaning to share some top favorite new thangs with you for a hot minute, so here goes.

1. a.p.c. eyelet vintageE bikini...i saw it on bird's website right before we went to mustique+just had to get it, as it's sooo rare to find a new suit with the right 60's/70's proportions+all my vintage suits are faded+not ocean appropriate at this point. while my only new (3 yrs ago) zimmerman bikini has lost it's elasticity.

2.rag+bone boots.....seriously don't know what i wore before? they are on my feet 5 out of the 7 week days. i just aDORE them and their little rounded toe+man they are sooo comfortable and simply go with everything.

3. DVF sequin cardi (gay grandpa sweater;)...found at my favorite store, zoe, in my hometown during their major winter sale...+it seriously saved me from bitching at the cold..

4. SUPER into these super strappy coco de mer offerings+definitely splurged on some fancy underpinnings...my favorite fave harness-y bra was only 30 bucks on sale, but they don't have it on the website anymore. (you'll likely get a glimpse of it in an outfit post to come.

5. been listening to a lot of this new blonde redhead. the first song has made my 2011_2 mix (next to chris brown's young love of all things...somehow it really works!)

6. this domke foto backpack has really simplified my camera transport.

7. dear darling sarah's camera straps just continue to get better and better!! she made me this mega mr T style chanel strap for my big daddy+the foto i took at the ace in palm springs is now up on her SFK site! (oh+while you're on the internet why not become a fan of SFK on the FB yo!) we'll be collaborating on many more projects to come so stay tuned!

8. my sister gave me her old and my new 1999 volvo s70 stick shift delight just before christmas...(this one is not actually mine, i found the pic on the web..but it's the same as this, just in black, not green)...all i can say is christ almighty! it has changed my entire little brooklyn life for the better!!! so much scooting around and getting the lay of the land (which can be tricky as so much of one's nyc transport is underground.

9. (not pictured..but i will take one and insert it) is my marlow and sons blue leather sail bag. made from the cows we eat at diner. sustainable fashion at it's BEST!

she spun an alchemic web on the camouflaged eaves of her foggy mind.

19. nichole de carle last testament bra..duh, i'm on a spider web seductress/harness kick.

it was going swimmingly until i got rear ended.

scored a leopard trifecta in ventura: mega soft rabbit fur coat. garter belt. super duper elegante mohair dress.
+more thrift success between LA+ventura: conch belt. 50's wool peg leg pants. $10 navy ferragamo's. weird/awesome sharper image leather vest.

this is my thrird thrift mission to ventura+i have to say it is so very best...there are like 6 thrift shops on main st-you just zigzag across the streets+keep winning. it's rad+well worth the drive from LA...i also snagged some megaMAZING rings which i'll show you later...the only downside was getting rear ended waiting to get on the freeway, on my way out of town...

the yacht was docked in st tropez and we hitched a ride to monaco.

1. retrosuperfuture
2. complex geometries
3. ASHISH amazeballs...can't you just imagine these as the basic ingredient for a perfect summer night.
4. tomas maier maillot.
5. kind of obsessed with these rachel comey sir barton boots.
6. this mary meyer dress seems so right on an excessive amount of levels.
7. rachel allegra does it again and this time in a perfect tie dye to die for.
8. i'm ready to stroke these oak's.
9. no bigs, just a little T. Anthony hat hard case to keep my sunhat and dilly dally necessities.
10. if you know me in IRL, you know i'm majorly keen on the summer fan. this one would be perfect for the dressier nights of the sweltering summer ahead.
11. i feel like this chromat underwire cage would be great over a couple of my victorian dresses.
12. alexander wang T caftan
13. the other covetable gilded comey.
14. no 6 slasher silk t
15. my old zimmerman bikini is on it's last legs, perhaps a replacement is in order?

19. these jeremy scott flinstones jams would be kinda kookishly cute poolside. (if i weren't the barefoot type of gal)
20. i've been wearing my topshop boutique fancy croptop so much i think it might be time to get another. i'd say that this zimmerman would hit the mark perfectly.
21. last but not least the class act of medicine pouches by wendy nichols. (who i met the other night at the court party-she was as beautiful, groovy+nice as one would assume.)

oh AND:

say hello to my new-in-the-future friends.
miss chloe sevigny has done it again...these showboats need to live with me. i've irrationally fallen in love and am asking them to move in before we've even met. (thanks for the tip off laia!)
