New dress!

This dress is so amazing, I found it here in SF at a vintage store in the mission.  It reminds me so much of my mothers wedding dress which is long lost.  Not only is it a great replacement for that but it fits me perfectly and I'm almost certain it's handmade!

Bicycle Bicycle

Life is good here!  I've been having way to much fun to keep up with blogging.  For one I got this great vintage french bicycle that I have been spending lots of time with.  She is so much fun!  The weather in the city has been amazing so riding my bike has been happening lots.   I convinced another one of my friends to get a bicycle so I am awaiting her bike to arrive so we can adventure all together.  

Me, having big ideas to conquer the world. Thanks to my friend Eliza for taking my art direction for this photo, it turned out perfectly.

Last but not least, I made a new harness/necklace. 

New Headdress

Here is a new headdress I made for a party this weekend.  It's gonna be a fun one, it's a sacred dance party with a white theme!  I am mostly blogging on TUMBLR now so check it out!  

Happy New Year

I have good feelings about this year!  It was a great new years eve and day!  Lots of dancing and great energy in SF.  Today I am 33, which is crazy.  I can't believe how fast time if flying, but I am enjoying the ride!

Some recents

I'm posting much more on my Frump Chic Tumblr account now, but here are a few recent outfits.  

I've been a little obsessed with these boots lately, I've had them for years and I love them.  I have a white pair too!

Whirlwind adventures

Life had been crazy with my multiple out of town house guests.  This all in addition to the giants winning the world series and halloween/day of the dead.  This city had been so fun and energetic.  It's now time to relax for a while before the holidays start up. 

I am mostly posting to my new blog now so update your readers if you are so inclined to Frump Chic on Tumblr.  

This is the headdress I made for the day of the dead celebration in the Mission, it was amazing as usual.  I also wore a huge white hoop skirt as well as a beautiful, cream colored rhinestone and pearl, lace shirt.  I looked like a dead bride, it was great!  This was a photo before makeup and the outfit. 

This is a photo my best friend shot of me on our way to the burning man decompression party a few weeks ago.  I didn't know it existed until a few minutes ago when I was tagged on FB, the comments are already funny.  Yes they are real! :)

Indian Summer

Oh how I love the late summers we have here in SF.  I was so lucky to have my best friend from grade 8 come visit me for the burning man decompression party.  The day was beautiful in every way, the weather was perfect, the love was in the air and we managed to have more fun than I thought possible.

Here I am with Jenny, she's wearing the headdress I made for last years Halloween costume, it looks so much better on her since she has the "native" look.   I am wearing the necklace I made. 

I am obsessed with the vest that Jenny is wearing, it's her aunts which the younger girls have taken over with much opposition.   Jenny has some Cherokee in her and it's from another tribe but either way it's gorgeous. 

We met some more natives, our new friend Wiley! 

Sing to me in my dreams

Life has been busy here.  I've been working a lot and having fun when I can.  Here are a couple photos I snapped with my new Iphone 4, I'm obsessed with it, it's so amazing.  I used the PS app to edit these pics.

I met a new friend who is super talented, I am in love with his music.  He also makes all his own videos and all the music himself, a one man band of sorts.  You can download some of his older music for free, check out the website.  www.weplanonsleeping.com  Not only is he a talented man and a very sweet soul but he is pretty easy on the eyes too.  :)  Download his music here, the first 17 songs are brand new, just added.
