outfit no. 10 [ jules ]

I was at an artist & craftsmen fair at Lincoln Center a couple weekends back when these photos were taken. It was a lovely walk while listening to a violinist play and seeing all the wonderful works these men and women display. 

I'm not much of a normal blazer and collared shirt wearer. If it's a blazer, I wear it with a tee (the fanciest I'll go is an old band tee or something that resembles lingerie). And if it's a collared shirt it's either worn by itself in numerous ways or around my waist. I, on the other hand, enjoy play real-life dress up so I thought why not just wear something "not me." 

Plus, I love patches! If you can't tell by my previous post and my elbows and shorts... and every single button is mismatched.

I absolutely LOOOVE the little stitched fabric detail underneath the collar of little scotties in red and white, and they echo it in the lining! - swoon -

 Waste not, want not

 Never discard even a swatch of fabric if you can. There's always a way to use it!

outfit no. 4 [ jules ]

Lilliputian cupcakes - I need like 100 in order for this to be 'normal'

Like Aran said, it's raining here in Manhattan. And I think the temperature dropped a good 20 degrees fahrenheit. & I'm wearing a trench in June.

global warming is real, folks

And I can clearly say, the weatherman has been incorrect about the weather far too many times for me. I take an umbrella out when it says it's going to rain, then it doesn't rain. Okay... so I don't take an umbrella when it says it's not going to rain, then it pours. [What?]

So here are a set of photos on a day I went out without an umbrella and it DID in fact rain. You see the people running across the crosswalk behind me? Yeah, they didn't get the memo either. On a more positive note, the clouds look pretty rad behind me with the Empire State. You can definitely see the storm coming

[cumulonimbus!]

Rain in the city means one major thing, choose your footwear wisely; hence the sneakers (again). I love shoes, take it from the girl who has over 100 pairs of shoes in a Manhattan closet - & there is no exaggeration in this sentence - but I'm sort of dying to wear a sandal... It's June for goodness sake.

And as you can see from my previous post, I wanted to wear white denim. These were an accidental purchase and they're tighter than what I wanted, but I like the patchwork because it isn't screaming loud. I'm still on the search for the perfect white jeans (& one in faded black). The day that happens, will be a happy one. -if you have any suggestions, I'm more than happy to accept the offers.

Anyway, cheers to another rainy day & enjoy the photos of the Flatiron District, some Baked my Melissa's tiny confections & me seeking shelter at Mario Batali's Eataly while sitting in a giant contact lens of a chair!

a radioactive hello to yellow

An ode to a favorite color: yellow

As if it got stun-gunned/tasered out of its mind, the old yellow has jolted up in its neon state. It honestly works better as an accent and is not for the faint at heart in large doses. Either way, it's approved on fox and minx's standards. We only live once so be bold and never be apologetic about bearing such a color.

*side note: I really need that sweater in photo number 2. keyword: NEED

P.S. HAPPY EARTH DAY! Much Love to Mother Earth (let's treat her well)
