Golden Slumbers






I love the simplicity and elegance of cotton nightgowns.  I've been on the hunt for the perfect white cotton gown, but have yet to find one at a price I'm willing to pay.  There is an adorable white customizable gown on Etsy from Hearts and Home that I would love to own (though it's listed as a little girl's item):

Maybe my sweet and loving boyfriend will buy it for me one day (wink, wink, Colin)!

Today's threads: (worn with grey Converse high-tops)


Crop top:  Thrift store in L.A.
Overalls:  Secondhand clothing store in L.A.

If this top looks familiar it's because I wore it with the Armani trousers in the Betties listing.  It was terribly warm today, but the scarcity of the fabric on this shirt definitely helped cool me down a bit.

Before I forget, here's a photograph of last night's meal:


It was sooo good!  The glaze was simply apricot jam mixed with red pepper flakes.  I was able to satisfy my sweet tooth while Colin got his spice kick all in the same meal.  

I'll have new listings for the store up by tomorrow!  There are some really great accessories in this batch. Here's a sneak preview:

A white iridescent turban...

...An 80s wrap jumpsuit with front pleats... (worn with the turban)

...Red 'There's no place like home' platforms...

...A festive fall blouse... (perfect for Thanksgiving!)

...An avant garde bowler hat with a high-rise brim...

...And a sweet, embroidered purse with mother of pearl buttons.

Expect them up tomorrow if not tonight!

Domesticity disagreements and Cheerwine


Grocery shopping.  One of my least favorite things to do.  As much as I enjoy cooking food and sitting down to eat a delicious meal, I can't stand picking stuff up from the super market.  Every time I go I end up feeling inundated by all the items for sale, despite my efforts to prepare a list beforehand to lessen the uncertainty that is The Grocery Store.  The grocers must sense how overwhelmed I am because they seem to always ask if I need help finding something.  Today I responded, "I'm just looking for squishy bread" and went back to squeezing all the loaves.  He gave me a very quizzical look, and only then did I realize how odd my behavior might appear.  I blame Grocery Store.

I packed my cart full of items so hopefully I won't have to revisit it anytime soon...

Today's outfit, starting with my favorite part: the shoes!

I bought these at the flea market on Sunday, and I. Love. Them.




Capris:  Vintage clothing store in Phoenix
T shirt:  FIDM Scholarship Store
Suspenders:  Inherited from grandfather
Head scarf:  Thrift store in... Hilton Head?
Shoes:  Flea market in Pasadena

With the items I got at the super market, I'll be making apricot-glazed chicken, green beans with roasted pecans, and corn on the cob.  For dessert we're having vanilla-roasted peaches with raspberries and vanilla custard (another Martha Stewart recipe).  Hopefully it turns out as good as it sounds!
