I feel rather guilty every time I visit my mom's store; she always loads my bag with vintage pretties and never lets me pay. My most recent trip to Florida left me with several pounds of clothing, accessories and a hat box full of vintage underpinnings still in their packages. I also picked up a few pairs of shoe clips, of which one pair is shown above. They're the perfect pick-me-up for any pair of shoes - you can wear them on the front or back, as shown. Considering how much I've been wearing my Seychelles Blimeys (they're so comfy!), it's about time I accessorize them a bit.
This was the last day of no laundry, which is why I ended up wearing another Postlapsaria dress. I now have a couple of loads worth of clean clothing, so I can stop cutting into my own profit. It's really bad when you actually go out and buy a ton of new underwear, just to delay laundry day. Really, I know that's too much information but it seems relevant to this topic. We'll go with it.
In other news, my little sister (who, at 23, is not so little anymore) Amanda is coming to New York for fashion week! I couldn't be more excited. Which brings me to this: NYFW Roll Call! Who will be here? Looking forward to seeing so many of you again - and meeting some of you for the first time!

I'll be around and hope to meet you in person.
Thank you,
Tony
I love this!! The little bows on the shoes are just lovely! I am also in love with that gray eyeshadow!!
I will in town this friday night and on saturday. I am not going to the chictopia conference but will just be hanging around. I also think I am going to come back in on Monday for the IFB conference. I hope I will see you around!!!
i am also totally guilty of buying underwear so that I can avoid laundry for a couple of days.
I love those sweet little show clips as well.
loving the bows on your shoes!!! so cute!
and your eye makeup is perfection as usual :)
i want this dress.
This outfit is gorgeous! I love the bows on your shoes.
Just spotted the the new Stitch Nation by Debbie Stoller...took me off guard. Is that you? <3
Dress and shoes are stunning!
notjustmedical: Thank you so much!
princess poochie: Definitely! Hopefully we'll be attending some of the same shows or events!
jenloveskev: I'd love to see you! A few of us were too late to register for the conference but I think Jennine said something about a dress up event. I hope that happens so we can have all of us in one room again;)
Naomi: I'm glad I'm not the only one! Thank you.
Diane: Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you this week. Btw, Sheila never got back to me about the silent auction - I know she must be crazy busy though. I'll plan for it just in case:)
Mel: I will probably post it on the site tonight!
Diana: Thank you!
Stephanie: haha yesss, that's me;)
totes gonna be in new york for fashion week. but you already knew that! we need to make plans so i'm sure to actually see you!!!
Oh darling, sometimes I purposely don't bring a jacket on an outing on a chilly night just so I have an excuse to buy something new...!
I have never heard of shoe clips before! Those are absolutely fantastic. And you are so lucky to have a mommy with a vintage store, so jealous..
Your makeup is gorgeous and I love that dress. I am also ashamed to say I didn't even know shoe-clips existed. I LOVE them. Seems like a great way to turn old shoes into new ones :)
Check out my (new) blog if you ever have some time :) - Celine

shoe clips! say WHAT?! what a great invention - they go so perfectly w/those oxford heels.
unfortunately, we won't be able to make it this time but hope to get up there in the fall!
Erin (calivintage): Yes! I was thinking if Jenny (Feldman) has a free moment, the three of us should meet up for coffee or something. We went out the other night and you came up in conversation (all good things, of course). And I can't hear/see the word totes without thinking of Fred Flare:)
mirattes: thank you!
Dap: That's a girl after my own heart;)
Celine: Thank you, I will check it out! Also, shoe clips are great - I have a bunch of vintage ones I need to wear more often.
chicfaced: Yes, plan accordingly! It will be more enjoyable then anyway, because you won't have to freeze your bum off.
Love the dress and most of all love the make up!
OMG Shoe clips!! Would have never thought of those they make the shoes absolutely adorable! Wonderful!
where is Florida is your moms shop? I am new to South Florida, Delray Beach and have been looking for some good vintage.
Also, love your blog. look forward to your fashion week posts!
Ahh, to be at NYFW-- I do hope you document your experiences for us who can't be there physically!
And I love how the outfit is in all neutrals, but is really sweet-- like the good twin of Wednesday Adams. :D

I wish I was going to fashion week. I'm hoping I can find a way to go via Converse since I intern with them. It's making me kind of wish I'd accepted working at Brian Reyes but I've always loved Converse. Have fun at the shows you go to.
Gorgeous! I love how you wore those shoes clips on the boots. I am going to do that this winter :D
your makeup looks amazing!
i will be at the chictopia conference...i'm nervous, but looking forward to it!

Love this dress! I organise Wikifashion and we need someone to guest tweet for us from NYFW, do you know anyone who would be interested?
@Wikifashion if you are :)
cute dress! I love the unique back cutout!
Adorable dress, the belt looks great with it! Those shoe clips are so pretty, I want some!
Those shoes are growing more and more on me everyday. I might just have to go out and buy a pair!
I like this version of your dress a lot! The little dolly is perfect :)
Totally gorgeous!!! I love the doily lace collar. What a lucky girl, a mom who owns a vintage store?! Jealous!
Hey, I know you're not wearing it in this photo, but what's the name of the burt's bees chapstick you always wear???
Jenny
Jenny (this is Keiko - signed into a group account, sorry!)
I use the classic Burt's Bees - it's just called Burt's Bees beeswax lip balm. It's the all yellow packaging, not the one with the red top. It's peppermint and it's my favorite!
love those little shoe clips!
the pics are great!!
have fun in NYC!

Hey, you're looking beautiful just like always. Have you always had that perfect skin? I'm seventeen and my skin condition just depresses me and constantly seems to lower self-esteem. :(
love this dress and your makeup is stunning. where in florida is your moms shop? is it close to the sarasota area by any chance?
great makeup! I love the bow belt and the shoes either.. good care of the details! :D
What kind of crime did you commit on your eyebrows :( ???
You are so pretty, so what a shame...
I can't make clothes, but I've definitely done that with the underwear LOL. Those bow clips are SO cute (:
Gorgeous outfit. Especially love your eye makeup!
