tight tweeds and secret needs

friday

I was feeling pretty upset for part of the week, so I reckon the angst rubbed off a little onto my dressing. I like the multiple-cross chain from Mango, of which most of the crosses are embossed. The other one is from Aldo (Man), with a ring attached to it.

Every Saturday when I head down to the pound I cannot dress up too much. Hence, the shorts and singlets. I bought the gold slippers the previous December because I realized I had no flats for my holidays; and I was heading to the rocky desert parts in The Land of Oz.

christmas tree syndrome

Posted in style by portia on March 14th, 2008

I have a penchant for what I call The Christmas Tree Syndrome, wherein I mix and match at random. Often, I like the effect. This one was taken about a year ago; and I think that an avalanche of accessories always spice up a simple racerback or a wifebeater.

The handcuff chain, which I designed myself and got The Best Friend to make, consists of an aluminum chain, a gambling die with hearts, red-and-black lace, and a pair of handcuffs that can be opened and closed. I call it Sex, Lace & Gambling.


Place your bets. ;)

vain fug // biker chic

I had bangs and stick-straight hair for a week last year, both of which were cut by myself. And then I decided I didn’t want to maintain it any longer. The spygurl look, which was in line with my previous job sleuthing around. Ho ho ho.
