Sunglasses Season

I love that my glasses transition into sunglasses.  Sometimes it sneaks up on me but I still love 'em.  Excited to get some contact lenses for my summer at sea- then I'll be able to buy all the sunglasses I've been missing out on!

Wedge Heels to Love

I've been dreaming that by some miracle I could afford these Jeffery Campbell Reality Cutout Wedges for $195.00 but at this point I can't and I shouldn't even if I could.  I found these on Svpply- Dolce Vita for Target for only $29.99

Happy Tuesday Folks- remember to pray for Japan <3  My family is doing fine in Tokyo.  At&t is running a deal that you can call Japan from your cell phone for free through the end of the month.  Country code: 01181  xox

Earthquakes and Tsunamis

My mom is from Tokyo, it's where my sister and I were born.  Thankfully all my family is safe.

There are 100s of people dead, 1000s injured and 7 million without power through the 30 degree pitch black night in Sendai.  If you need an over all briefing on the disaster, check it out on BBC News.  In Tokyo my family said the earthquake was strong enough to shave dust from the ceiling.  If you consider that every building on that island is built to with stand frequent earthquakes- well it's strong even if it's just dust.  All the trains are down- many mono rails are flooded or are being check for damage.  To give you an idea of how big a deal this is... 766,000 people pass through the station of Shinjuku on a week day. via People are stranded in their offices since elevators aren't working, 70,000 people had to spend the night at Disneyland and DisneySea last night-- That's nothing compared to the nuclear plant threatening the northern coast of Honshu since the they are unable to cool it down, tons of fires, oil spills, drownings, lost ships, etc.  And life goes on- my uncle will bike to work tomorrow, people with cars will give rides to friends to go back to school on Monday.  Send good vibes out there...they need it all <3  Here is some cool Big Wave art inspired by the history of tsunamis in Japan.

It's Witchcraft

I'm in love with this lookbook video!!  I found it on A Gemini Rising a long time ago.  When I think about my collection this summer, I keep wanting it to be gypsy and witchy, but I'm holding off for the fall so I can to massive amounts of layering...xox
