FOR LOVE I COME

Since today's post is small, I'm gonna put all my emphasis on this one lil thing: THE FABULOUS STAINS. If you haven't already heard, my friends and I created a blog slash online store slash lifestyle brand (jk) called "The Fabulous Stains" (sound familiar?) We talk about street style trends, model muses, and films that inspire our style. And on the side, we hand select vintage and secondhand garments and accessories to sell in our shop on Etsy! This blazer is one of those prized pieces. And it's selling for $25 right here. Shop til ya drop! Unless you can shop without dropping. That would be ideal.

LA VIE BOHEME

La Vie Boheme, the bohemian life. Years ago, I wore horizontal headbands and head scarves to class on a daily basis. I rebelled against the authority of a school dress code by walking around barefoot while graffiti-ing communist symbols on private property with a sharpie. I was a bad seed with a good heart, albeit an extremely annoying personality. Ask anyone who went to high school with me. I think I've become more accepting, nurturing, and understanding since my period of caustic adolescence. Educate, don't humiliate. This look is simply bohemian; an homage to my past, and a salute to my free-spirited future.

GREAT NEWS THAT I'VE BEEN WAITING TO SHARE FOR WEEKS ON END: I got a new pair of wooden platform clogs. Sorry, I know it's more of a me-thing than a y'all-thing but I deserve an opportunity to BRAG every once in a while, don't I?!!! And if the sight of spankin new slip-ons makes you rabid with jealousy, meditate by browsing through the Sanita collections on Clog Outlet. Yes, online shopping is form of yoga.

COAT OF MANY COLORS

Before I left for Israel, I threw an outfit together that I thought would MAYBE be representative of Israeli style -- long skirts, floppy hats, gladiator sandals, and floor-length kimonos, all in a desert color palette. I was totally wrong, but the look was fun because it's referential to the story "Joseph and the Coat of Many Colors." I remember learning about it in Hebrew school. Probably watched an animated film about it. Definitely did a color-by-number. Torah/bible outfits are hugely underrated. Do not be surprised if within the next two weeks I come up with a "Prince of Egypt" ensemble.

Bag - Vintage

In Israel, girls have gorgeous wavy hair that's so long it reaches their bum. They usually wear it middle or side-parted and, like me, they love a coat of red lipstick! The most popular get-up was a pair of high-waisted leggings with a leotard, tank, or t-shirt tucked in. So simple and perfect... I can't wait to return to the city and go vintage shopping.

These are a few pics from my trip! I took hundreds but narrowed it down to a smooth 9. Traveled everywhere from the Golan Heights to Tel Aviv... stayed in 2 kibbutzim, 1 youth hostel, 1 bedouin tent, and 1 Jerusalem hotel. Desert, sea, and Masada in between!
