I had hoped to do more shopping in Hong Kong, but aside from a few small souvenirs, these are the only clothing / accessory items I snagged.

Did I mention I’m into fringe?  In a big way.  Sorry for the delayed responses; I’m slowly getting back into the blogging groove again after being away for two weeks.

If you’ve been following me on TWITTER, I’ve been tossing around some wacky Halloween costume ideas, such as Pizza the Hutt from the movie Spaceballs (massive gross pizza character), Cousin Itt from The Addams Family and Bernie from Weekend at Bernie’s.  Since I was Lady Gaga last year with my arse practically hanging out, I wanted to go in the complete opposite direction and do something ridiculous… not to mention, cover myself up.  Then last night I got smacked on the right side of the head with a costume idea, albeit one that will take some time to create.  Now I just need a pair of green leggings, hot glue and massive loads of (____________).  I’ll post photos and reveal what I end up dressing as next week.

Are you going to dress up?  If you need ridic costume ideas, let me know… I have back-up plans if my own DIY costume doesn’t turn out well!

This isn’t a good-bye but a see you later.  I’ll be in Hong Kong soon and this will likely be my sole post for the next two weeks.  Bummed to miss all the LA Fashion Week fun, but Hong Kong will have to do.

Thanks in advance for continuing to swing on through here.  Anyone want me to pick them up anything from Hong Kong?  Maybe we could do a trade of sorts… hmm.  I kind of like that idea.

I’ll do a ‘proper’ outfit post, but in the meantime, wanted to show you my current wardrobe loves.  Got this Maurie & Eve jacket on sale via Mycatwalk.com and it is, in one word, amazing.  If you want to immediately touch my heart, give me some leopard print and leather… together.  These photos don’t do the jacket justice as there are pyramid gold buttons in the front, gold zippers on the sleeves, and the leopard print extends to the entire back.

Thanks to free overnight shipping from Endless.com, I received these Steven by Steve Madden Adeson Ankle Boots yesterday and I highly recommend getting them.  If you are a fan of front foldovers or flaps on boots, you will adore these.  The photos on Endless.com really don’t do the boot justice with the buttons done up all the way.  I initially had seen them on Shopbop.com so check them out there if you’re interested.  If I had the funds, I’d get these in a second color since they also come in black and olive.

Oh yes, and my hair’s shorter.  Making my life uncomplicated one step at a time.

Yes, I’ve recently been on a layering kick, throwing vests on over anything and everything.  I esp. love to wear them over leather jackets and blazers.

The WHERE Arianna boots are my choice footwear right now because they are uber comfortable and unique-looking with the trouser leg overlap.  Featuring an exposed and hidden wedge, these hand-made leather boots amazingly make my size 8.5 – 9 feet appear small.  Bonus points.  You can snatch up these heavenly goods at Pixie Market.

Thanks so much for all the incredible feedback about the blog revamp.  Sometimes I don’t think people outside of the blogging community understand how much time and effort we all put into our sites, which on a personal level is frustrating, and so I’m appreciative of the encouraging words of support from everyone.

Look out for a new Menday post on Monday!

I’m such a hippy at heart.

I prefer bohemian over buttoned-up, rocker chic to preppy, scruff to clean shaven.  If I could wear headscarves and bandannas across my forehead on a daily basis and dance around to the soundtrack that is constantly on repeat in my head… and heart, I would.

Thanks so much for all the great feedback on Menday.  To learn what guys (with style and great taste) think about what we’re all drooling over is indeed enlightening.

Yet, it also brings up the point that while learning what the opposite sex thinks is fun, we all ultimately dress for ourselves.  Just do you.
