Custom vintage overall shorts, Acne wedges, American Apparel t-shirt layered over an old altered t-shirt (it's a bootleg Bone Awl shirt .. get over it, black metal purists), custom Ralph Lauren glasses, BOYY "Slash" bag, claw necklace & earrings by Blood Milk, Chrome Hearts leather necklace worn as bracelet.
Nothing special today .. yesterday I wore these overall shorts made by Carly at Sweet Jane VIntage. I have a similar pair in maroon corduroy as well that I styled on here wayyy back. The cuffs, deep pockets, and decorative wood buttons totally make the design. I believe Carly makes these to order; I have a pair of high-waisted houndstooth print shorts she custom designed for me that are so completely cute in an early 1970s dweeb sort of way.
The longer I wear these shoes, the more I adore them. When I first got them, I was like a baby deer trying to walk. They're pretty much like enormous blocks on your feet. I remember I wore them to dinner the night Bobby and I found out we were going to have a baby, and I was gripping onto his arm for support the entire evening while he chuckled (by the way, for the most part my husband hates my choice in footwear, but he loves these). Now, they're a breeze to stroll around in and I find they're quickly becoming my go-to low wedges. Cross ring by Pamela Love.
I can't get enough of this necklace. The fact that it is a cast of the real thing and not a carving makes for such striking detail.

Topshop blazer, American Apparel t-shirt dress, Miu Miu platform halter clogs, Fendi sunglasses, gifted butterfly knife pendant from Blood Milk, vintage accessories.
I can't begin to describe how stoked I am on this necklace, not to mention Blood Milk's other creations. Unparalleled in their quality and uniqueness, J.L. Schnabel's designs will appeal to fans of Pamela Love and Chris Habana alike; however, with a penchant for the macabre, the supernatural, and the classically beautiful, Schnabel is in a category of her own. The detail on this butterfly knife necklace is outstanding. The knife is real and fully-functioning (razor-sharp blade and all), and like many other Blood Milk pieces, is oxidized to perfection. In addition to the heart-and-swords charm above the knife, there is a tiny religious pendant on the other end of the vintage brass chain that lays on the wearer's back. Little features like these affirm the obvious: this is a special piece, painstakingly crafted by a true artist.
You never have to worry about wearing a design you know is a beaten and dead horse, because Schnabel's creations exist in very limited quantities -- once they're gone, they're gone, and she moves onto something else amazing instead of rehashing the same thing again. Expect to see many more Blood Milk treasures featured on here in the near future.
About time I debuted these Miu clogs! They are worth the hype in every way: remarkably comfortable, sufficiently sky-high, and garner tons of compliments (while my husband and I were having ice cream out front, one passer-by remarked, "Those are fantastic, where in 1975 did you get them?!).
Don't let the towering wood heel on these beauties intimidate you -- the gargantuan platform compensates so you don't feel like you're on a ski slope. I love the rich camel hue .. unfortunately, I'm STILL in search of The Perfect Brown Bag.

That's all for tonight ... be well. &hearts
It was so gross and rainy in Philly today, so we waited until tonight to snap photos. My worst nightmare is a roach crawling on my feet in open-toed shoes, but thankfully this is irrational enough that it hasn't occurred yet.
Comme Des Garcons coat, Lindsey Thornburg for Bona Drag sweater minidress, American Apparel leggings, Topshop lace overcoat, Phi boots.
These Phi boots are extremely versatile and badass. Despite the awkwardly-shaped heel, they're surprisingly easy to walk in. I like the military-inspired buckles, the leather piping, and the open heels. They're definitely more functional than my over-the-knee brown leather Phi boots, though not really as flattering.
This is probably my favorite sweater, courtesy of Bona Drag. The red is an unusual reddish-orange hue and it has unfinished hems that have unraveled a bit in an appropriately messy fashion. This is the minidress version of this sweater, but it also comes in a longer style that I am tempted to buy, since my pregnant belly prevents me from wearing this short one as a dress.
I've gotten a lot of emails about my hair and if I get extensions. It is my hair; aside from my bangs, I haven't cut it in 3 years. My husband is a hair farmer too, especially when he was younger. Yesterday, our friend Jeff Lee sent us some incredible photos of Bobby when he was around 19 and had first started Pentagram. We were cracking up at how much hair he used to have...he looked like cousin It.
The lovely Leah aka Bloody Powers at Brah Records has posted her interview with me on their site. Leah was so sweet when I met her in Pittsburgh and gave me a beautiful satin cranberry-colored vintage dress that I'll style on here soon. Brah is a really witty and fun blog, so give it a visit.
The people at the Philly Pretzel Factory gave us a bunch of free pretzels today, so we're going to dig into those and watch a movie. If you know anything about Philly, you know we love our soft pretzels. My grandfather Rocco used to dip them in his coffee, a habit that seems to have transcended generations because I do that now as well, though I have tried to stay away from coffee during my pregnancy.
Thanks for all of the continued support. More soon! xo
