gifts given

(revlon siren lipstick, headband c/o galine, double collar blouse c/o sway chic, vintage skort, vintage knee socks, vintage platforms)

i must have done something right in a past life because i returned home from new york to find TWO packages waiting for me.  the first was from my new friends at sway chic! i really lucked out because i fell in love with this blouse at first sight but it was sold out. i was only sad for about 3 seconds though because their site is full of goodies and i had no problem finding something else that caught my eye.  it turned out that the something else i picked was already on sale and i was asked to go back and take another look.  by this time the double collar blouse was back in stock and i knew it was fated to be mine!  i decided on a medium because i like a loose fit on a sheer piece to better showcase my undergarments but perhaps you are not as much of an exhibitionist as me and in that case i would try for a smaller size.  here's where you can find sway chic elsewhere on the internets: facebook, twitter, tumblr, instagram, and their blog.  

the second present was handmade by a fellow internet gal and megababe that you probably already know from her beautifully curated tumblr la petite souris.  i know it's just the internet but i like to think that we've become rather close thanks to instagram and i'm very proud to have her as a girlcrush and a friend.  i'm slowly but surely convincing her to abandon the cold in canada and come down south for a visit or for forever!
