Another Monday in Manila

Sweater Dace, embroidered shirt vintage, jeans Levi's, woven linen shoes vintage.

Electric eclectic


Dress vintage, t-shirt old knit sample, necklace by me (w/vintage beads), perforated patent leather shoes Aldo.
Could have made it myself (a la my black feather New Year's headband)... feathered headband from Urban.

How many more curtsies before I can watch TV?

Byron tells me not to smile and Cochino tries to creep in.

Sweater Banana Republic, blouse vintage, jumper 3.1 Phillip Lim, shoes Joie.

Who wants pizza?


I feel like this outfit reads "hip mom," which explains the title, I suppose. And I'm not implying anything here. Hip moms are the best kind of mom!

Vintage earrings and bracelet, jacket sateen fabric sample, t-shirt Art in The Age of Mechanical Reproduction (flying cats!), jeans Levi's, shoes Faryl Robin.

File under "sexy geometric librarian"

Having fun with the vintage cat-eye glasses (prescription) and mesh socks. (I am buying a new camera this weekend... yay!)

Glasses vintage, sweater H&M, dress vintage, socks unknown, shoes Steve Madden.

Jodi Hood

L/s shirt vintage, skirt Ruehl, boots Jeffrey Campbell (boutique collection, exclusive to Ziezo and another store in Chicago).

WANT!






Devotte Spring 2008. I especially like the tuxedo ones. A good update to my white boots with ties and "shirt" collars, hmm?

Roberto Clemente Decoded








Watched a documentary on Roberto Clemente last night. Grew up hearing about him (and about Mazeroski's home run in the '60 World Series), and he always had these eerie connotations for me because of his death in the plane crash. I thought he was much younger when he was killed and that he was taken out in his prime, but he really did have a full career in the big leagues (1955 to 1972 for the Pirates, .371 avg, 240 HR, 1305 RBIs lifetime).





But what I learned last night was his dedication to humanitarian causes and that his plane crashed just after taking off to deliver supplies to Nicaraguans who had lost everything in the earthquake in 1972. He had arranged to have supplies sent, but they were reportedly looted so he decided to go deliver the next round himself. Anyway, it was on American Experience on PBS last night, so check it out if you have a chance. (It was much better than the clunker they had on last week about Walt Whitman. And I like Walt Whitman!)

It means "pony" in French.

No, really. It does. What a stretch, hmm?

Welcome to Clothes Poney. I'm finally getting one of these "blog" things together. I've been in the process of starting this blog for over a week now, and it's made me realize how busy I am and how much time it takes to document interesting things in my life on the computer. But I'm going to try to be dedicated to it. Here goes!
