Drunk Without Drinking

Ah, what I would give right now for an extended weekend! It's not that today has started off on the wrong foot by any means - in fact, the very opposite is the case - it's more that I now have to come off of the high of having one of those best weekends ever and...well, I really don't want to.

The past couple of days have consisted of cottaging, watching Project Catwalk (SO much better than Project Runway), eating the best veggie burger in the history of the world and finding some of the most insanely awesome vintage items of my entire life. I don't think any thrifting excursions will ever beat the one I had this weekend, and for once I don't think I'm being even slightly melodramatic. My amazing finds include, but are not limited to:

- a large white quilted authentic Chanel gold chain-strap purse
- a navy, Marc Jacobs-era Perry Ellis boy's blazer that FITS LIKE A DREAM
- the most amazing feathered felt Anita Pallenberg fedora that smells like patchouli
- 90's rompers and kilts
- belts, sunglasses, bags, scarves and way more wicked hot stuff that you will undoubtedly see on here in the near future

...I know, right?! Basically I would be jealous of me if I wasn't me.G and I have been wholly preoccupied with our fantastic stuff and generally just loving being alive, so I'm not at all regretful in having to say that our grand photo plans fell by the wayside. In my opinion the veritable plethora of sartorial joy we've accumulated over the weekend means better pictures though, so it all kind of evens out in the end.

Wearing
Romper: vintage

  3. Woooow! It's a rarity to find Chanel bags at thrift stores. Congratulations for finding one! I would love to see that Perry Ellis blazer. I love Perry Ellis. =) And oh, I bet you looked great when you tried that feathered Anita Pallenberg fedora. Agyness Deyn, is that you? =)

  7. I was *just* about to comment you, but you got to me first! :)

    I love this on you, tres fabulous! You always look fantastic in everything. Thanks for your wonderful comment. (the first boots are payless, the second, vintage) But payless has gone downhill lately, their buyer was much better before...

  9. here's the truth:
    i cleaned that bag up with some clorox wipes to de-grime it - used a vacuum with angle attachment to get any little crumby things out of the insides and pockets- and then wiped it down again with these handy leather wipes i got at a drug store (http://shoeshinekit.stores.yahoo.net/kiexclshwi.html)

  10. AMAZING finds. Wow!
    I LOVE VEGGIE BURGERS TOO!
    You should def find out what kind it is and try to make a similar version if not the same thing.
    You look really good in the romper - I love that colour on you and the print is not too distracting. Great!!
