an old man lives here :: my living room decor wishlist

so i am moving...next friday to be exact.
not virtually but physically. i think we need to clarify that since we're friends on the web and all.

going through my 'want' list on pinterest only makes me realize that i have the same home decor style-sense as a cooky, elderly gentleman. and to that i say - so be it!

when things are gold...they're fancy...when they're dusty, dirty AND gold...they're refined. hence the reason why you simply cannot go wrong with an antiqued gold dinosaur on your mantle. {sarcasm. no, but really.}

here were a few items that fit with the moodboard {oh yes, i did make a moodboard} i made for our living room. that i obviously can't afford or find but will find a way to thrift something within that same vein. 

you can bet your bottom dollar i will. thoroughly, an elderly gentleman was here.

sisters of the black moon :: alexandra valenti

i've been an ebay-er since i gained the dreaded freshman 15 during college and had to sell all of my abercrombie kids clothes that my former tiny little figure fit into. during that time i found the vintage shop :: sisters of the black moon and developed a harmless obsession with their amazing vintage items and gypsy branding.

so when i saw colleen's post over on inspired to share about the insanely talented photographer//painter, alexandra valenti, i was excited to see that some of her work was with the 'sisters.' i cannot believe how well alexandra captured their essence :: a little bit dark, mostly mystical and always gypsy.

i'm not quite sure what that flare thing is but i want one the next time we do a wanderlustings shoot for sure.

girl crush :: kate foley nyfw f//w 2012

kate foley, buyer for opening ceremony, and i must be sisters from another mister...

because i rarely see anyone who dresses like me in photos from fashion week. but when i happened upon her thanks to the lovely alicia of cheetah is the new black, i was utterly delighted to find a kindred spirit among the sometimes rigid fashionista {ehh, i used 'fashionista'} crowd.

tights with chunky platform sandals, babydoll peasant dresses, tapered trapeze tops, lacy and leather skirts, leveled layers, etc. i am so happy to see it all!

i've always wondered if i was too casual, folksy or cutesy - but hey! this just proves that there's room for us fashion free spirits in nyfw and design houses everywhere. thanks kate for paving the way!

who is your fashion kindred spirit??
