wow thats a really awesome hair clip! question, i read you had curley hair, me too. how do you get it so straight looking, do you straighten it??? i do :( its no good! ADVICE PLEASE lol

My hair is pretty straight when it's wet, so i put it in a ponytail or twist it and put it in a clip, so it dries in that shape and my roots stay (somewhat) straight. When I wear my hair down it gets SUPER curly and big :)

It's from a teeny little thrift store in Flushing, I made a special trip there because LC from Fops and Dandies called it "THE BEST". haha it's at the corner of Northern Blvd. and Parsons Ave in case you feel like making a trip :)

This is one of two dresses that I got at a thrift store in New York this weekend. It’s actually a long dress or nightgown or something, and it took me half an hour in front of the mirror trying to safety-pin it together just the way I wanted it. I’m considering just wearing it as is, though – it just looks so childlike and relaxed.

The clip in my hair is from a vintage store that I walk by every day but never actually went inside until yesterday. Silly me! It’s full of beautiful clothing (including some amazing 50’s tulle prom dresses) and, although most of it is too expensive for me, they have a $3 bin and a huge amount of low-priced jewelry. The owner said this clip was meant to be worn on the neckline of a shirt, but I’ve been wearing it in all different ways. So it’s missing a couple of rhinestones and most of the paint is gone – so what? It’s my new favorite toy.
