she birthed another gorgeous scene.

the dear and beautiful mara hoffman created yet another magical collection for fall 2011..there was a lot of dramatic draping and some completely stunning hand braided bustiers that are sure to be hits...as always, the all for the mountain jewelry was a perfect fit for the collection and i'd have to say her talented mystical mama pal, carly margolis, has created quite a number of new favorite pieces to add to my wishlist.
unsurprisingly...my absolute MUST HAVE piece are theses feather print skinny pants..sooooo completely and totally made for a gal like me...(and they're already quite aware that i'll be ordering those in no uncertain way!)

it's been a minute (or many months?) since i've posted any outfits...+since i actually remembered to shoot it this time i figured i'd share:
dad's vintage sailor shirt-phamous faux fur vest-all for the mountain mandala tassel necklace-vintage afghani earrings-risto bimbiloski lightning leggings-mara hoffman stirrup sweater leg jammers-rag+bone boots-marlow sail bag-cutler+gross sunnies

unbeknownst, we drove the whole way up with magic in our back pocket.

the seeds are taking hold and my nailpolish has chipped off completely.
