Philadelphia #1








Dress- Vintage, Earrings- Free People, mostly the usual jewelry

Sorry about the photo quantity, but Joey and I are so starved for natural beauty that he's all "Look at that rock!" and I'm all "Holy crap it's covered in MOSS!". I bought this dress (nightgown-esque, sailor detailing = perfect) today at an unbelievable vintage store in Frenchtown (Pa) called Upcycle Vintage. I left this amazingly perfectly tackily studded jacket behind, and might have to go back for it cause buying a jacket in June makes perfect sense. OH! And mos def brought home a bagful of amazingness from Modern Love Vintage- the prices where so unbelievably low that I felt kinda guilty. 
I am so so tired and shall now retire to our super cozy room at the Phillips's compound, then pass out while reading my Nazi book. Historical, not how-to. Erik Larson (the guy who wrote "Devil In the White City"), has me enthralled by his latest- "In the Garden of Beasts". Highly recommend. Sometimes I kinda hate myself when I go off on these little movie/book review tangents. Remind me never to use the word "enthralled" again. 

One last thing- this dress sorta evokes "Picnic At Hanging Rock" (uhhh, well maybe an undergarment from that era), so I kept trying to look like Miranda when Joey was taking these. I definitely might have been more successful in my Miranda- replication if I'd lost the jumble of bracelets.

  1. I absolutely love the dress; you look like a scary version of Alice in Wonderland, but I mean this in the best possible way, as in cool scary.

  4. Those moss-covered rocks are pretty freakin' cool, I must say. I love these pictures; I love that you're barefoot. That dress is so incredible. I adore the pleats and the nightgown look it's got.

  12. A few of my hometown friends moved to Philly and I think one of them works for Free People. I really want to visit there, hear the shopping is amazing. So jealous! I kind of want to move back east (but North east and NOT south east this time) just because of how pretty it is there. Arizona is so. fucking. ugly. Seriously, people were not meant to live here. That dress is beautiful. And the bracelets- necessary. Have fun on your trip!
