the last of 2010 - vintage ♥

after weeks of zero blogging motivation the sudden realization that i have numerous "2010" outfits still to post and it's dawning on 2011 is kicking my o.c.d. into gear. now there's no way i can post them all today, to start fresh in the new year, but you will get one a day until they're done, so yeah! for new material. this look is beyond old, maybe mid-october? i finally figured out that the perfect companion to my vintage betsey johnson floral shorts is a loose cropped top. i adore the heart knit on this piece and that it's from the brand, pelican cove. i remember my sister shopping there when i was little, but it was closed down by the time i got old enough to wear their stuff. in fact, it seams the whole outfit is vintage :) love that. i also tossed in a mirror shot for old times sake.

leather jacket, shorts, sweater, boots all vintage, 2007 balenciaga step and my mom's old omega watch.

family heirlooms

here i am in front of my childhood home, you got to love visiting the parents for some yummy food and good company. i'm wearing my f21 heels and pure love, my balenciaga step. a reader asked about my watch from this and my last outfit shot. it's actually my mother's omega deville dynamic. her father bought it for her 20th birthday, even though i'm sure it cost at least a month's salary. he was in the army and stationed for a few years in east timor. my mother was the oldest child so she helped out around the house and worked to support the family while he was away so it was a special gift to show his appreciation. i am so happy she passed it down to me. omega's are such amazing watches and mine even has the date in portuguese, which is a constant reminder of the watch's history in my family. so in love.
