Sweet, Sweet Victory!

So I won a few auctions on eBay this weekend, which I'm pretty stoked on. I should not really have bought anything, but you know, school and life are really ultra stressful right now and sheesh, the retail prices for these are about ten times more. All of these are from one of my favorite labels, AllSaints SpitalFields, out of England. Everything, almost without fail, that they make is absolutely incredible. Plus, they actually have an equally appealing men's line which is quite rare. Check AllSaints out here. I'm currently redesigning some vintage for sale in the shop, making some really nifty jewelry, and studying for an Economics midterm, a math midterm, and working on a million other things. More updates later. Cheers!

It's A Cruel Joke!

Why aren't they my size? I've been looking for these for oh, about a decade. In any case, they're currently on eBay in the fabulous shop IndieCultVintage.

Oh Hell, Now I have to go to The Gap.

Damn. Damn damn, double damn. Alexander Wang will be releasing a design collaboration with the Gap, and rumor has it that not only will he be bringing his usual casual luxury styles with him, but a little bird told me that he's also releasing a khaki motorcycle jacket for UNDER 100$!!!! I don't know about you guys, but I'm a full time worker/student/artist, and that's a little more reasonable for me to justify. Not so much the 2800$ leather jackets, though they're brilliant and I love them. I'm simply not in that wage bracket...yet. Ha! I'm hoping that various neurosis, including workaholism and OCD will eventually aid me in being able to afford at least one of his gorgeous bags. The Gap collection drops on June 16th. Don't miss it, and I'd plan on getting there early, I have the feeling it's going to sell out.

Erm, OOPS!

Ok, so in my vast excitement over the last post's absurdly gorgeous thrall, I left out the name of the designer. Sorry, kids. Graham Tabor is the mind behind those creations.

OMG OMG OMG. SO BEAUTIFUL IT MAKES ME SLIGHTLY ILL.

Vintage & Designer Auctions Happening NOW!!!

How is this even remotely fair? Sometimes I miss the days when all I had was (excluding my dogs of course, I can't live without them) myself, a new old record, a book of Bukowski, and a big ass bottle of cheap red wine and a pack of smokes, and I was completely contented and sated. These days I have so much more to covet. Maybe I should work on that. Oh, wait, I already do. Speaking of, I've cleared out my closets and most of my clothing is going to the boutique to pay my art school tuition. Have at.

My Lame Azz-

Ok, so I've been MIA again. Sorry kids. Lots going on, lots to talk about, lots to accomplish, you know the drill. Now I'm sitting at work, programming and working on the new face of Street Walkin' Cheetahs Boutique, getting geared up to start my new quarter at school. Tonight I have a four hour Economics class. Strangely, I think I'll really enjoy it. At least I hope to. As far as students go, I'm a pretty ideal one for a teacher. I try to come in super open minded and ready to absorb information. I work really hard and I sit in the front of the class. You know, big time note taker, early paper writer, blah blah. I'm a total geek. It's really exciting to be in college. I had waited a long time to be able to be here. In other news, hopefully the new store front will be up and functioning Friday, with a TON of stuff in it at stupid low prices. I've been sitting on a bunch of goodies because I didn't want to relaunch with the old layout, and honestly coding for both Ebay and Auctiva is ridiculously time consuming. So, this weekend, my dears. Expect designer, vintage, and records, as always. Some of the items will be from my private collection so it should be a pretty amazing inventory. I'm thinking about going back to work at my last job, so we'll see what happens with the store. If it does really well, like I hope it will, I may not have to juggle 4 jobs and a full time, 17 credit hour school schedule. The times are trying for everyone I know. My little household is no exception. Look forward to photos of my not-Victory Victory garden. I'm down as hell with self sufficiency and sustainability, so I'm cutting out our entire produce bill (with the exception of bananas, which I haven't quite worked out just yet) from the grocery shop with my garden. Think peppers, beans, tomatos, melons, berries, everything imaginable will be going on. It's going to be beautiful. Plus, I love playing in the dirt. Being outdoors with the dogs and the trees and my plants is a welcome and sanity saving respite from staring at a computer screen, which is what I do for at least 12 hours pretty much everyday. I work hard, man. And I ain't gonna stop now.
