Stuck to your Lips

Dance! Too many holes in the pants!

I do not exaggerate when I say I never wear pants.....
tights, leggings, shorts with tights, dresses with tights, shirts with leggings, no need to give every clothing combination I use to escape the restriction I feel when wearing pants. My style is not only known for it's pants-less nature, it's also known for copious amounts of holes and runs in my daily tights. In America, I use the Alexander Wang's look as both my role-model and excuse for my hole covered tights.

However, during my time in Europe, I realized the old A. Wang excuse was lost on many... the elderly islanders were actually a bit horrified at me being aware of the holes and wearing them anyhow.

Elderly Greek Man: "Excuse me, I have secret to tell you"

Me: (I've had alota old men want to tell me "secrets" that usually have some perverse undertone) Yes, what is it?

EGM: "You have hole in your nylon" (He's pointing to a dime sized hole just behind my knee, these were tights attempting to be classy)

Me: Yes, I know

EGM: You know? (Tears practically welling up in his eyes)

Me: Yes, I know, but thank you.

EGM: okay, okay, I no look at woman....no look at woman. 

At this point is when Jani becomes my saving grace with Foot Traffic's Perfect Pair. I've worn and ruined a lot of tights in my day, but these lived up to their name. No waist band rolling down, no toes popping though the foot hem, and most importantly after a days in a row of wearing them (extensive travel to for my return to America) there were no holes...still a mystery as to how they managed to make something like that. I wanted to share about the Perfect Pair because I believe you can buy cheap things that will fall apart the one time you wear them, but you should invest in quality for your daily wardrobe staples. 

If I can just acquire a few more pieces of perfection I might become quite the classy lady!

Making More More More

This past saturday sold my work at the The Local Bazaar at the Yellow Barn in Ann Arbor.

Looked Just Like You

While in Europe I became a bit obsessed with doubles (people, signs, dogs, outfits, etc)... some are actual twins, which in my opinion seems a bit rude - it's difficult enough to tell the difference between them!

Dear Blog, I haven't forgotten about you.

It's been a two month hiatus, the lack of "Rita" (my little Mac Book Pro) made blogging from Europe a bit difficult. But I've returned...now only binge blog. Here are a few images from the many (perhaps too many) places I went.

Interlaken, Switzerland

Antwerp, Belgium

Venice, Italy

Adriatic Sea

Santorini, Greece
