B L A C K - P Y R A M I D . *

my friend jen showed her gorgeous terrarium crystal balls at this shop Black Pyramid in SF and i stumbled upon their blog. the best part of their boutique, of course, is their jewelry. SO amazing (and so expensive), and reminds me a lot of my beloved bona drag. i know that my og witchy homegirls and i get perturbed that everything we've been into since seventh grade is UBER-hip right now, but on the other hand it's fairly convenient because everything that was so hard to find is suddenly readily available and i can stock up. it'll go out of style again in a year and then i'll just have more crystals and daggers and go back to being a dork.*

I Would Die for You.*

just in case you started to forget....don't. this music + these ideals of love = the best of being 13 in 1996.*

Tropical Future.*

so the lovely homegurl rochelle of mapache jewelry hosted this month's flea market at SPACE 15 TWENTY in hollywood. vintage paradise, good music, and a great art space installation by sprfkr y mapache. check out her interview on the space15twenty site as well as this fashion blog that kindly featured yours truly, my friend nicky lee of repose vintage, and other fashionistas/fashionistos of the day at pazzesca. stephie and i also finally got the pleasure of getting our nails done by the ladies of kleur. the tropical future took us over.*

Vinyl Williams.*

so my homegurl told me about this dude's tumblr, vinyl williams, and now i'm seeing his work everywhere. i typically much prefer handmade collages to graphcally designed ones, but these are pretty nifty.*

Smokey Taboo.*
