A lost love, Jovovich-Hawk

My favorite designers are the now long gone Jovovich-Hawk. Once I got my first "real" job I starte buying pieces here and there. I love their prairie/disco/boho/hippie/flapper vibe, it's very different from the stuff thats out there. Their pieces are whimsical and a bit costume-y, that's what I loved.

These are the first 2 pieces I bought on net-a-poter.com

The Vicky Dress

The Sissy Dress

These are pieces I've acquired through ebay

Rita Dress

The Flo Dress
This Dress took me 3 years of lusting to finally find and acquire. Now, I just have to get it a little taken in. I really cannot wait to wear it. I don't really have anywhere to wear it to in the next week, so I guess grocery shopping at trader joes will have to do.

Iggy Dress
I just got this one. It's made of wool and the weather in California does not warrant wool other than (maybe) December-February. So we'll see when I wear this. This is another piece I need to take in.

Fiona Top
I love the sleeves on this.

Daisy Blouse
I just won this on ebay.

At first they said they would put the brand on hiatus, but looks like it's most likely been put to bed. But maybe just maybe milla and carmen can come together after making movies and taking pictures and keep making beautiful clothes that I can spend my money on. Until then, I'll keep hunting on ebay.

Sunday Bunny Sunday

Easter sunday. I made a rare trip to mass, with my mamala. It was a beautiful midday, but now it's a cloudy afternoon. I'm cooking dinner for the family (chicken parm) which will probably take me a few hours. I always end up with food stains all over myself, so I think it's best I change out of my pretty dress. Have a nice Sunday.

The weather was so nice that Franky made a rare backyard appearance.

My eyes look a little wonky here, but I can live with that.

To new beginnings

...and to finish things you start. Lets hope this time I can keep up with this thing....anyway, today was a lovely day we didn't want to be lazy hobo's and stay in (as always) so we had lunch at the lake, then went for a mini hike. I wish I wore better shoes.

I should be saving

I bought these online today. Again, I should be saving, but I suppose I couldn't resist these faux sued booties. I can't wait 'till they get here.

Wishful Thinking...

These are a few outfits from Urban Outfitters new Golden Age Collection of 40's inspired clothing that I would buy, if I was not currently on a budget...one can dream. I specially love the peter pan collar beige blouse.
