OOTD: Dottie does lunch

This week I had a lunch date with my partner in crime Tracy, aka my wifey, for a marathon catch up session, and brainstorming madness...We grabbed a bite at a darling little Deco cafe that serves d-lish veggie options, complete with black and white decor and ambiance pouring out the door, with the cherry on top being "To Catch a Thief" playing in the background....J'adore!!!

OOTD: THE DL...Deetz, Lydia

It's no mistake that I often end up channeling my favorite characters into my daily wardrobe. A costumer by nature, it can't be helped. This day I felt particularly :::ahem::: Deetz-y. Honing a bit of Lydia with my own twist, I wandered the streets snapping pics of the "strange and unusual", followed by an evening curled up with a copy of "The Glam Ghouls Guide to the Recently Deceased."

Mantra: "My whole life is a dark room. One...Big...Dark...Room..." -Lydia Deetz


Soundtrack: "Pictures of You" The Cure 


The Wardrobe:
Hat: Vintage, gift from Kelly ♥♥♥!!! purchased at Gasoline Alley.


Dress: Vintage. (reworked the sad sleeves by chopping off some length and leaving the ruffled cap.) Purchased for $3 (!!!!) during a super sale at Shareen's top secret vintage haven. 
My gal pal (and fashion muse extraordinaire) is a style maven there. (rockin' DREAM job!) 
Shareen's is a magical warehouse overflowing with racks of textile treasures from bygone eras with a huge clientele based in the Hollywood "It"crowd. Note: Bring a bib. Drool worthy goods as far as the eye can see.


Docs: Fleamarket find (Again, my main trompers worn on a daily basis. You will see them. A lot.)


Holga: purchased on Amazon. Cult icon of the camera world, and worthy of the hype. J'adore.
