Legitimatized by Antique Helper

Hi! Did you go to the last Indie Vintage Art Antique Mart? Loser. Seriously this is the best source for  fab priced, totally unique wares for the home and you were not there?? Geez. Ok so you get another chance August 4th don't blow it, it's at Glendale behind the movie theatre. At the last show I was next to the best the piece there: this mid mod white fireplace (still avail!!) from my friends Dave & Mark.
Graham & Spencer beaded tank dress, vintage boots, Target cowboy hat, heat survival side braid

Happy Birthday 'Merica

Charlotte Olympia Wonder Woman Shoes (my name for these, not hers) $1050.

It's Independance Day. I had mine a year and a half ago but I still get excited revisiting the concept. Went to the lovely President Harrison Home on Delaware for the annual ice cream social. It was hideously hot but we got some free ice cream and a house tour so it's was all good

Mani Pedi

Not a big fan of press on nails but the new collection by Ruffian for MAC may just change my mind. Or perhaps even inspire me to create the look myself with my ginormous collection of polish that I continually buy but never wear. Chanel mushroom only please. 3 looks including a red reverse french manicure  and a script ruffian logo(shown) that I may just have to commandeer for some kind of fancy stationary, it looks that good. $25 http://www.maccosmetics.com/

Now you're hungry

You hear "affordable luxury " all the time but what does it exactly mean? Is is Target shopping with good quality, on trend designed housewares? Is it a brand new Kia? Is it a teeny tiny Vuitton wallet? Well, I hit the definition of Affordable Luxury last night when I skidded down 10th street to hit Sushi Club. Right by the Foot Locker Outlet (a mixed result experience usually) this former Pizza Hut is a huuuuge enourmous googleplex surprise. First surprise: all you can eat $22 including soup, salad and appetizers NOT A BUFFET WHEW Second surprise: it is fresh and delicious on par with Mikado and Wasabi completely not kidding. You're welcome

But less pushy people

Do you ever read the sample sale list at Refinery 29 and just go damn I wish I lived in NYC?.You know sample sale where designers ditch their showroom only products to make way for the new at dirt cheap prices? Well anyway you can kind of experince this now thanks to Franki Levin who is bringing the Chicago style sample sale to Indy once a month. Carrying boutique brands like Custo Barcelona, Three Dot and Kenzie one of a kinds usually set up at French Pharmacy  in Bro Rip and Salon 600 in Carmel. Get on the mailing list at frankiscollections.@gmail.com to find out where the next one is.

When is the 70% off 8 Fifteen sale? I'm dying over here

It's a small world after all

Disney is no longer magic. I am sorry but unless begged I will never take my children there: every single aspect is about selling you something be it now or later and quite frankly it is just plain cheesy and vapid. Now swimming with the dolphins I can get behind even though just between you and me they have pretty bad breath. Oh yeah and the Prada, Fendi and Barney's outlet, that was sort of OK but in general Orlando just sucks

More purses, I know, right

I have never gotten the appeal of Rag and Bone it it just do darn boring to me but perhaps the related to famous people designer thing works out. I do seriously love their first foray into handbags but it may just be my love for the original black and white blanket bag from Coach circa 1995. The PILOT features a striped wool blanket base with the industrial fastener hardware they are known for and is just under $700 for the big one. Hello fall!!
