Indulgence

Just a peak into my little world


This morning I had leftover Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake and english breakfast tea with extra milk.

Tonight I am going to an Alice in Wonderland party!

Once when I was little I decided I wanted gold skin. I pressed my mother's gold stamp ink pad against my arms and hands, only to create a huge..gold, inky mess. (But a fun mess :)

I just can't get over the beauty of this image for some reason. It reminds me of Little Red Riding Hood. And although everyone is posting about their anticipation for Spring, I love the look of being bundled up, scarves, coats, and snow.

I don't have class tomorrow, so I'm going to stay up sewing. I have some lovely "sweater skirts" to post for you all tomorrow! xo

Pom Poms and Bear Heads

For Christmas my Mother surprised me with a set of vintage Samsonite suitcases. I had been looking for cream colored luggage for quite a while to stack and use as an end table, and these are amazingly perfect! When we went to Louisiana after Christmas, I was rummaging through my Grandmary's attic and found old issues of Cosmopolitan from the 1930s. When I was flipping through one of them, I not only found an ad for Belmont (back when it was an all girl's school), but I also found the ad for this entire luggage set! (It seems I am missing 2 pieces....which I will most definitely be on the lookout for :).

Hannahdoll also got me a pair of Kate Spade slippers, which are so adorable, and make me so happy when I shuffle downstairs every morning to make my tea!

I would have to say my favorite piece of the luggage set, though, is the toiletries case. When you open it, there are still traces of someone's face powder, and there were even some old hotel soaps left it in it. Pictured in it is a vintage fur collar I found on ebay, and Mr. Bear Head. He's one of my favorite presents ever. My mom got him for me when I was a freshman at Belmont. My friends all thought he was super creepy, as he's really just a head stuck on a wooden rod with some ribbons, but I think he's lovely :)

Dreaming of Wedgies...

no no...not those kind, silly!

For years I have abhorred wedges, thinking they were strange and ridiculous looking, especially on me. Recently though, I have been drawn to the precarious creatures, specifically those of supple suede and maybe even a bow or two....





Jeffrey Campbell "Lamp" wedges




Chloe Multi-Strap Suede Wedge. Yes I'll just use that extra $950 I have lying around here somewhere...



Opening Ceremony Suede Bow Wedges




Moschino Cheap & Chic Peep Toe Wedge. Aren't the pom poms adorable?



PS I got some amazing goodies for Christmas, as well as some INCREDIBLE vintage Cosmopolitan magazines from the 1930s from my Grandmother's attic in Louisiana. A post on the aforementioned as soon as I recover from my weeklong food coma of Grandpa's mashed potatoes and gravy.
