plaid skirt-ebay
ripped tee-this old thing?
sherpa bag-vintage
velvet boots-Opening Ceremony


Last outfit from Tokyo....I bought this skirt on ebay for about $12 shipped.  Couldn't resist the perfect PJ plaid and button front.

Irresponsibility got the best of me and I booked a last minute trip to PARIS with Eric and my 2 best friends! We leave tomorrow!!! I figured at 26 years old, it's about GD time I go to Paris....no??
Soo...if any of you lovely readers have any tips on the city of love please do tell...and in exchange I present you with this:


I was looking through our old UNIF archives today and found this amazing myspace message.  UNIF fan knows WHATS UP


Au Revoir kids!!!

Tokyo

Eric's sick sick sick jacket he picked up in Tokyo at Ships Jet Blue...the body is made of strips of different vintage army fabrics in different shades...sewn together to make one fabric. SO amazing.

some couples have matching rings...we have matching eyeball bracelets ♥

♥er and broski

street fests

Yoppy! ♥  our amazing Japan PR girl!

so sad we missed the "moon-hugging freezing-thigh naked-man" party...

some outfits from the week...pretty repetitive...shorts, t-shirt, socks, boots..ha!

safety pin shirt from DOG (Tokyo)

entering Village Vanguard...another fave store in the same category as Don Quixote

so I happened to be wearing this red striped sweater in Shibuya where it is has the busiest crosswalk in the world...so we thought it would be fun to do a a little Where's Waldo series!!

god I'm short...even in Japan!

this is one of my favorite t-shirts, go figure.

loooooovvvveeee these Docs! They're raw-edged muslin with a double strap...my favorite vintage find from the trip.  Found these in the Koenji area...by far the best vintage shopping in Tokyo in my opinion!

Garden Sox

floral socks-Beams Boy (Tokyo)
clogs-China
taupe destroyed sweater- China
hand beaded bag-Tokyo
Jerry Garcia tee-vintage

I'm finally home from my 3 week trip...it was so much fun/work but man, am I glad to be nuzzled on my own couch.
I got these clogs not knowing that they look veerrry similar to the Jeffrey Campbell ones, but I'm glad I only paid about $20 for them!  More pics from Tokyo soon...in the meantime, must get over this jetlag!

2/3 Weeks Down

fringe sherpa bag-handmade vintage (fairfax flea market)

shorts-vintage levis

thermal ribbed shirt-thrift store

leopard boots-vintage

scarf-vintage

just arrived in Tokyo....thank god! China was a bit brutal..especially alone with no proper internet!  I  can finally update with these old pics though I did try to update there (blogger is banned in China) with no success...I guess I'm just not hacker material

how lovely is this bag?  The sherpa part is so soft and buttery! I got it from the crazy looking Russian guy who re-works vintage leathers/furs...if you frequent the fairfax flea market enough, you know who I'm talking about!!

 Love this vintage 70's thermal too and am especially obsessed with the ribbing on the cuffs and neck.  I originally found it for Eric but it's just too good...

China was crrrraaazzyy....I have to admit, it was VERY lonely to be there by myself.  I didn't think it would be that bad, considering I got to eat a lavish breakfast buffet everyday (hmmm love buffets...)  BUT after 14 days, french toast and made-to-order omelets just didn't do anything for me anymore! I needed someone to talk to! wah wah wah....

There was a typhoon for the first couple of days, and walking through high speed wind/rain with a million samples plus not being able to get a taxi was NOT FUN!!

but

THANK GOD for gypsy rickshaws that beat traffic!

a little vid of my rickshaw ride
