Vintage Romper and Vintage Top Hat

Combat Boots

I'm not one for flats, I have an unspoken 5 inch and up rule, But I will make an exception when it comes to combat boots. There’s something about tromping around in clunky oversized steel toe boots that I find quite fun. I prefer pairing them with dresses, kind of a visual oxymoron that shouts “Frilly Badass coming threw!”

Diamond in the Rough

  ph.  zorian  

I was out treasure hunting and stopped into a tiny thrift store. Jam packed with odds and ends this thrift store was organized like a yard sale gone wild. Random things crammed and piled here and there with hand written price tags attached by safety pins, tape and colorful yarn.  

As I made my way into the clothing “area” my spidey scenes began to tingle. Like a predator honing in on its prey I scanned. Moving in on an overburdened clothing rack in the corner. Half buried and hidden on this crowded rack I found a sad little knee length dress. I wrestled it from the wrack for a closer look. Bingo!! Gold Brocade now glistening in the the dim florescent light, this dress was so mine! Boned bodice, strapless, fully lined, bandage fit, it had all the ingredients for an amazing little number. 

So I paid and rushed home, I was now on a mission. Busted out my scissors, needle, thread and some coffee. After some minor surgery this sexy gold brocade body con mini emerged, shimmering and sparkling in the sun light, my little diamond in the rough.

Willkommen Bienvenue Welcome

  ph.  zorian  

“You’ve never seen Cabaret?” Zorian said as he zipped over to Netflix to update the Queue. I soon fell in love with the noir burlesque imagery that followed. Joel Grey being my absolute favorite part of the movie. I still cant get that “Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome” song out of my head.

Secret Garden

Welcome to my secret garden. An enchanted haven, where angel trumpets bloom, butterflies flit threw the sweet intoxicating smell of honeysuckle and jasmine, filling the air.

A friend stops by for tea.

Lilies I like to cut and bring inside I love the way they look in vases.

Petunias are great in pots, they explode with color and cascade.

Passion Flowers are exotic and they also make a delicious tea.

Hibiscus Flowers a tropical garden staple make great hair accessories.

Ground Orchids are one of my favorites in the garden.

ph.  Aria + Zorian

I love gardening. Playing in the dirt and watching things grow, sprouting from the earth like magic before my eyes.

Part Two: WIND GODDESS

By the sea the Wind Goddess can be found, dancing with the clouds, where water and earth kiss the sky.
