Road Trippin'

10.05.2009

'Evening everyone!
I just got back from a family function in Massachusetts (it took me about 60 tries until I spelled that name right) and I'm completely exhausted.

My dad & I drove about 8 hours in both directions, which gave us enough time to listen to the ENTIRE remastered Beatles' catalog.

Before we shoved off on our trip, I made a different sort of trip to the thrift store and FINALLY got a hold of a Mink collar that I can afford ($2 if that says anything for you). I only buy vintage fur out of moral constraint, and lemme tell ya, if I ever find it, stuff is expensive.

I attached the collar to an olive drawstring-waist coat I found in a Salvation army in Williamsburg, Brooklyn over the summer. It gives it a groovy militaristic feel

    I love the layered bright red scarves, and the way they compliment the fur, which in turn amps up that rad jacket. Lovely look, and fun pictures, as usual.

    Fur freaks me out. Straight up, I think it's weird and ugly. But you rock it better than I've ever seen anybody else rock it!
