Swap for Earth Day

Come dig with me at Swap! Not Shop! and celebrate Earth Day by swapping clothes and more! 

Hand Jobs and Hood Nails

Photo by Devin Holt

I'm hood famous.....well kind of.  Only because of my "hood" nails by the Nail Jerks.  I attended the Hand Jobs opening show in SF (read my full write up on M.I.S.S.), and after a nail session, dude photographed me (from a low angle, uhhh), and a few days later it was up in the SF Weekly Arts Blog.  I'm not even sure if this was in print, but if so, no autographs please! 

Lila of Nail Jerks and I actually have a special connection, because she gave me the best dog in the world!  A few years back when we were just MISS Crew strangers, she posted a free pug tweet and it took me only a second to respond!  It was a surprise though, because over the last nail session at Hand Jobs, we actually didn't talk about our dogs!

Sneak Peek: Bedazzling Button Bill Snapbacks

 

Here's a little peek of what I'll be listing next week in the shop.  These snapback hats are crazy studded and embellished.  I only have a few of these in stock.  I wish I could say that I hand-sewed them myself, but that's not the case....but I did hand-select them!  Tiana has on the lion hat.

Thanks to Cloudnina for the shots!

You know for a hats like that I had to bust out as much metal and I could find!  Peep my mom's watch...she passed it down to me last year, thank goodness!

Dig This: Vintage Guess Jumper

 

You may be thinking that this isn't a jumper, it's a sweatshirt.  Well, in the UK they call sweaters jumpers so that's what I'm calling it!  

I remember when I was in 4th grade I begged my mom to take me to Macy's to buy me a pair of Guess Jeans with the triangle logo on the booty.  She wasn't too thrilled with the price tag, especially since most of my clothes were from the thrift store (nothing new now!), but she still bought me a black pair anyways.  Most likely because my grades were stellar.  This purple Guess jumper totally reminds me of that memory. 

Thanks to the beautiful JaneDoez for rockin' this.  She was a blast to shoot and I'm just loving her look in it.  Both the jumper and the peter pan collar necklace are available in my shop.

Grand Opening! Free Shipping!

I've done eBay.  I've done Etsy.  (Still doing Poshmark!)  I've even hustled on Telegraph Ave.  Now, here's my very own online shop.  This shop will feature snippets of my collections.  Some vintage, some from my mama's closet, some remixed by me...but all their own treasure. 

Make sure to check back often, because new items will pop up on a weekly basis. 

Right now I'm offering free shipping with the code FREESHIPPING.  Hope you find something you dig!

Sneak Peek: Photo Shoot with CloudNina

Here's a sneak peek at some photos from a quick session with CloudNina.  I was assisting with a photo shoot for Thorough and since we already had a room full of talented ladies, I thought why not take some photos of them in my gear?  Here's Charrie and Mae rockin' some vintage pieces, Thorough beanies, and a schoody I made!  I'll be using these flicks for my online shop, so check it out soon!
