Goodbye Colorful Sneakers

Category: LifeEyeliah

These Hot Pink and Purple Striped Runners found at Winners and Vintage LA Gear Gold Sneakers have been in my possession for many years.  A staple part of my casual wardrobe they have been a fun focal point of many outfits.  The reason these two pairs of shoes had made seldom if any appearances on this blog is that they have been splitting at all creases and falling apart and for a year I have been kidding myself that I could ever wear them again.  Just like my lovely buckle shoes I will remember the good times and am ready to move on.  Goodbye colorful sneakers.

I will end with a repeated question; What item that you love did you recently have to toss out of your closet?

The 1920s Party

Category: My OutfitsEyeliah

Oh my goodness, my friends Tri-Birthday party was quite the event.  To reach our destination we walked, then cabbed, then took a seabus, then a bus, then walked part way up a mountain and we arrived in 1920s France.  The house built by my friends grandfather in the 1950s still retains all its original charm and was the perfect location to transport into the past.  The secluded front lawn beautifully decorated with lights, an antique couch and of course the Eiffel Tower.  And then a slew of fabulously 1920s-esque friends all throughout the house.  As I could not fit a camera in my purse I will need you to use your imagination for everyone elses looks, perhaps I may get permission to post a few photos in a future post.

Here was my outfit!!  Now originally I was going to wear my only red dress with the same accessories, but when this sequin dress of Karina’s was shining through the pile at her Swap Party yesterday it took over the job!!  Thanks Karina. :-)   Do you notice the shoes on my feet?? Yes they are The Jazz Shoes that lost a heel.  They were the only shoes that could really work for 1920s so I had them fixed last week.  Thanks so much to Shay, I went to your cobbler and he did a fabulous job for $40.

1920s Inspiration

Category: InspirationEyeliah

Today was the Pool Party/Clothing Swap at Karinas which was a lot of fun.  Also a brunch last minute in the morning so I do apologize for only writing one post today.  I got a few really cute pieces at the swap including a new option for the 1920s Party tonight which I’m pretty sure I’m wearing.

Here are a few more 1920s photos I’ve been looking at for inspiration.  I can’t wait to post my outfit too!!!  Hope you are having a lovely weekend.
