Maps, a Mountain Range, a Piggy Bank







My outfit details:
vintage jacket and heels - Beacon's Closet
dress - I made it
tights - Target
Makeup notes: Laura Mercier lipstick in Designer Beige, MAC bare study paintpot, dipdown fluidline and mulch e/s on eyes

Bobby's outfit details:
sweater - Cavi
jeans - 4 Stroke
new Matryoshka doll tattoo - by Ashley Love


As I mentioned before, Bobby and I haven't done a ton of decorating in our current apartment, since we are planning on eventually moving to a bigger space. We did our best to make it feel like a home, albeit a transitional one, which entailed displaying anything of sentimental or familial value. Our guest room is a hodgepodge of framed painting and pictures that were gathered from my mom's shop, along with some old trunks and flea market finds. Since I made our room aqua and white and the office a girlie ballerina pink, Bobby had free reign over the guest room. The bottom trunk is full of fabric I'm not currently using (usually season specific) and the top is full of linens. On the other side of the room is an old wooden wardrobe and stacks of vintage suitcases, and we'll soon have a giant cat condo to appease Kitty Boos, who is sorely missing the great heights of Kim's old bed. While Kim was staying with us, she had a full sized loft bed, which we have since disassembled and will probably replace with a tiny twin. Sorry, BooBear!

  6. this dress is too cute for words...I can't believe you did it all by yourself : I am in a middle of a DIY fax-fur vest which requires no detailing at all and I am in hell...so the quality and the detail of that princessy dress leaves me voiceless

  17. awesome wall color! Your outfits work so well with the ambiance of the photographs. Possibly a weird thing to comment, but I'm sticking to it. Love those vintage trunks, I have a couple mini vintage suitcases of my own that I use to store my winter hats and gloves. Because while I don't use them that often in LA, it feels prudent to hold onto them. You know, for ski trips and such. If I can ever scrounge that money together.

    haha.

  83. I'm really feeling those collars/necklines together. It can be tricky to mix two things with piping, but I'm guessing you did it effortlessly. Sorry about your hand! I've done that three times... Again, not very coordinated.

    ReplyDelete

  84. I love the room! Also, Bobby's babushka is adorable.
