Coming sooooooon...

Hello friends!  If you follow me on instagram, you know that I've been editing through my insanely stocked wardrobe and amassing a pretttty impressive pile.  I go through these feng shui fits about once a year and make a nice healthy donation to the Mission Thrift store.  But this time I've really been ruthless deciding what gets to stay and what must be on its way... This time around I'm getting rid of a lot of old favorites and some very special pieces that just don't hold their weight in the inventory.  Many never worn, or worn once.  
This time it's serious.  
So this is like... a garage sale?  Ummm, no.  Can I be totally honest?  I've got clothes issues.  
I like to shop, I like the hunt, and I've collected some incredible pieces over my *eeeeek* 20 years in the fashion industry.  Some of those incredible pieces have made it into this sale.   Yes, you will find lots o vintage, some Marc Jacobs, some Chloe, and possibly some Chanel too (still weighing that one).  Prices will range from $1- $60 per item.  And yes, this gives me anxiety- because I really enjoy having a lot to pull from when putting myself together, but I've made peace with the parting, and I'm excited to see these pieces find new homes.  I'm also super excited to lighten my load, and simplify my life a bit.  
Jeff's going to laugh at that remark, because the edited version is still pretty cuh-ray-zee.  If you saw it you'd be all...

Ok, but seriously... This is the kind of clothing sale I would actually get my butt up early for.  
And that's saying a lot.   

This sale will run on Saturday, December 1st from 10am in Jeff's art space, 
upstairs at 774 Marsh St. in Suite D. 

Stop by for a cookie.  :)

What's on your nightstand?


I'm a bit of a nightstand fanatic. Can you tell?
I love having my favorite goodies, current books, lotions, potions, and yummy-smelling stuffs 
close at hand when I go to bed- and when I wake up in the morning.  I neeeed a plant next to me.  Constantly.  I secretly harbor grand plans for an austere, minimalist room with nothing but my lamp and a glass of water on the nightstand.  But, what will I read?  And what about when my feet/lips/hands/face feel dry/chapped/uncomfy?  What about those 2am thoughts that simply must be written down, immediately?! 

This nightstand-glimpse says everything about me.   That I'm obsessed with my own comfort, that I can't camp to save my life, that I pack way too much, that a lifetime of allergies dictates an ever-present hanky... and the books!  They'll tell you the real truth about me...  
I'm a sassy-mouthed wordy, a reluctant Francophile, a mama... and I'm still learning.  

 Here's a peek at the current situation:


Clockwise:

Eau de Parfum, "Brigitte" by Tocca -
Everything by Tocca feels so over-the-top glamorous. Even in jammies.

Candle, Votivo "Rush of Rose" no. 55a - So pretty and fresh. The smell reminds me of my grandma.

Mustela Baby Lotion - I've used this for 12 years... Light, refreshing, and it smells like my 3 babies!

Butter London 3-Free Nail Laquer - This polish is beautiful, durable, and free of the nasty stuff.  :)

Fresh Sugar, tinted lip balm in "Passion" - Smells amazing. Feels even better! The best.

Micron Pen by Sakura - Archinerd essential.  Kinda can't live without my 005.

Notepad by Rifle Paper Co./Artist, Anna Bond - Tricks me into thinking my to-do list is a pleasure!

Hair tie - Remember these?  I love them.  They look like gumballs!

Pin Cushion - My mom always had these around the house when I was little, and I'd pull their ponytails.

Matches - Sacred Heart by HomArt

Hand-me-down phone, courtesy of my friends at MNKR.  It's time for a new one.  :)

Plant. - Necessary.

Hanky. -  Never, ever more than a few feet away from one.  Dozens. Fijian souvenirs. Allergy gear.

Rosebud Salve - Sooo good on dry spots. Addicted to it.

Chloe - It gives me sweet dreams.
