looking for dining chairs

i need at least 6..but matching ones are hard to find..so as usual i'm thinking to mix it up...still not sure about where to go..the table is mid century danish and the theme is thus far kind of mad hatter mod-ish/danish..so these might work but i'm not 100% sure.

thinking/bidding on brown vivienne westwood for fall..

*f-ing lost out on them by $1.
damnit...ive been looking for vintage vivienne boots for YEARS.

lots of stories to tell...

i'm finally home + will be archiving all the travels + both weddings this week and next.

turner called to inform me that they were shooting a music video for the virgin's down the street in bushwick. there were mirrors, cuffs, cameras, loads of neon nail polish, bling blang and poontang and some serious professionals. there was also cory kennedy + a lone pigeon in the fireplace+some radical chic's.
then it was off to marlow to be with suzeQ and cedez. i went about rounding the day with a gossip girl screening at kat and andrew's..[chuck bass+ i love you=8 letters amazing]

looking forward to fall with more boots + buddies

i finally got to wear my radical true to the knee high riding/combat/military boots!! i bought them 2 months ago at the brooklyn flea and yesterday was their debut. my calves were honestly too warm for a good part of the day/evening but it was worth it.
