FOUR SAIL

Hello all. I don't normally do this on here, so I don't feel the need to make a separate sales blog, but I am doing a little spring cleaning and am offering a few items to you readers. I don't really like selling on eBay anymore, so I'm doing it directly through here. And considering the dismal economy, I'm offering this stuff on the cheap because I'm just trying to lighten our load a little bit before we move. What I have available includes:




Society For Rational Dress tan suede gladiator flat sandals w/ wooden soles. Size 38/8. These are padded and very comfy. Worn 1x, show minimal wear on the soles. $100



Y's Yohji Yamamoto waxed cotton/linen hat, black with black polka dots. New. $50



This Alexander McQueen black wool/silk/viscose turtleneck in a size 38 (XS/S). Worn once here. Dry clean only. You can see this shirt with better photography and different views HERE. $90

I also have THIS Comme des Garcons XL red satin ruffled cocoon bag available, which has never been carried. It kills me to sell this! $200

Please email at halcoholic@gmail.com if interested, with shipping inquiries, or any other questions you may have.

P.S. Any size 11 ladies here? Check out these sweet vintage american flag platform boots on eBay right now:



Have a good evening! xo

TRIPLE TROUBLE

I was browing the Acne website today and stumbled across these cute silk shorts:



But then, I saw them. THE SHOES. THE SHOES!!!! How did I miss these? Acne's "Three-Heeled Pump" is one of the most original shoe concepts since that invisible Marc Jacobs heel, which I hated. Or those McQueen "Alien" shoes that nobody has. Where on earth can you get these incredible pieces of god-sent art? Does anyone actually have them?! How retardedly spectacular!



Imagine wearing these to the office with an amazing fitted vintage Chanel suit or something. How much cooler would you be than the other office-ettes? Obviously I would never work in an office [again]. But I would still wear the shoes. And the suit.

In other news, my husband and I are leaving for his tour with Pentagram on Friday. They will be kicking off at Jaxx in Springfield, Virginia, then heading to my hometown of Philly, BB King's in NYC on Sunday, and off from there. I'll be sure to update from the road. Can't wait to see some of you at the shows!

QUESTION: How many dud seasons will you give a designer before you call it quits as a fan?

My answer: I'm a pretty faithful fan, so I'll be generous and say 3. But 4 is 2 years, and fashion has a short life. 2 years of bad seasons = I'm not buying anymore. Unless suddenly one season, a miracle happens and something amazing is designed.

MALADJUSTED CHILD

I used this camera today that I hate, but for now it's better than nothing! I wore these great maroon courderoy vintage overalls I got at a local vintage hole-in-the-wall called Sweet Jane. I love the cut of these, you can wear them with the straps off also, but my McQueen top was a little c-thru so I opted for the bib/straps up. It also has some cute functionless wooden buttons on the bib.





I totally forgot the BOYY Slash bag is reversible to be all black instead of the embossed snakeskin. Whoops. I wore it without the chain strap today, as a clutch. The aviator frames for the tinted glasses were bought on etsy and I later found out they were taken off of a dead dude or something. Oh well.





Since the overalls are maroon, it was a good excuse for me to wear these Ann D's again. I also wore this awesome huge gold vintage locket I got at the same shop as the overalls, and some cheap watch I bought in a hospital. Sorry for the creepy eye in some of the photos, I gave up on the redeye removal halfway through. When I get my new Nikon, my readers won't have to deal with that scary face. D:









Fuck it, I didn't feel like editing the extinguisher out! So enjoy it please. These were taken in the hallway of my apartment building, I would never choose that hideous wallpaper for myself but I thought it was appropriate with the semi-hideous overalls.







Speaking of scary faces, I'm married to that one.

Overalls: vintage
Turtleneck: Alexander McQueen
Shoes: Ann Demeulemeester
Jewelry: Vintage, costume
Bag: BOYY "Slash" bag

For those of you who read DECIBEL magazine, look for my Pentagram full-page tour ad in this month's upcoming issue. Also, look for a 7 page interview with my husband in February or March's issue.

I'll be there also doing hair/makeup, so say hi if you see me! xo
