the rest of it

Top: American Apparel. Shirt: Urban Outfitters. Skirt: Vintage/Thrift. Bag: Foley & Corinna vintage. Boots: Sam Edelman. Shades: Ray Ban. Large snake ring: East village boutique
Remember this beaded cardi/jacket? Here's the skirt part to it. They came as a set but I'll wear them apart.
The bluey green black colours remind me of mermaid scales.
Ok time for bed...
ps. Anyone catch 24? Next week is THE last one. Anything I love on TV is always taken off :-\

  6. Cool skirt! Your snake rings are pretty sick too...

    It's so true; all the good shows go off the air! I'm currently addicted to the new show V. If it gets canceled I'll cry!

  17. Fantastic skirt - I want it!! You've also styled it to perfection.
    Btw, I love your list of things you miss about London! (many things I take for granted, like cushions on tube seats!), although I was kinda suprised to see 'public politeness', which magical part of London were you in?, I have to move there!! ;)

  28. Dude I hear you. Every tv show I've loved has been cancelled/ended (Touching Evil, anyone?). I guess that means I have to go play outside. Or something :-)

  45. Nikki Ashley - thats what i thought the first time I saw it about 5 years ago.

    Hanna - oh really? I could've sworn Fox 5 news said this was going to be the last. Good - I hope not. I reeeeeeally hope not.

    Robyn - started watching V then got bored lolol!!

    Alecto - play outside - loved that : )

    Cocojones - NYorkers hit you in your shoulder and keep walking. At least in London they blurt out sorry. As a car driver here too it's more polite in London. ALOT.

    Melissa - welcome!

    Brownbrunette - do it. Such easy no thinking kind of dressing.

    Fashion Chalet - yea i'm hooked on these tops. Yep - count down...

    Shewearsheshares - yea last night's episode was brilliant!!! that 10 sec countdown on the bomb when everyone was WAITING was amazing and thank you for commenting still. Honest. Really nice to have the support.

    Actually that applies to everyone.

  47. another insanely good combination! i LOVE the gray sweater with the sequins. and the first thing i though of when i saw the skirt was mermaids =)

    ReplyDelete
  48. so beautiful. i love the skirt and the way you styled it. adding the flannels and worn brown leather details is genius. the bag is an amazing piece what a find. is it vintage? or from the foley line.

    amazing look.

    ReplyDelete
  49. That skirt is so damn divine I can't stand it!

    ReplyDelete
  50. I'm just in love with your hair.

    The skirt is very eel-like, lovely find.

    ReplyDelete
  51. wow - everyone thought mermaid too. It's the colour/bead thing.

    Cindy - it's vintage and was at their shop. It was on their display and I marched right over, took it off the mannequin and onto me. LOLOL!!!!

    Katie - eel like - like that.

    ReplyDelete
  52. wow. I love how you mix pieces together! one of a kind. the skirt is stupendous.

  53. That skirt reminds me of a mermaid...and i mean it in a great way. Its a pretty killer skirt; i wish i could own and pull off that skirt as well as you do here.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Oh no, you should not place your bag on the ground, Karen. :)

    Love the way you've been rocking long skirts :)

    ReplyDelete
  55. Megan - thanks Megan.

    Adri - yes thats what I thought when I saw the pics of it after the shoot.

    All Women Stalker - I've never cared about some bags so its fine with me. I'm aware girls either do it or they don't. No mid ground.
