dreamin' duarte.



having never attained a piece of duarte's in the early 90's when i really wanted to, i jumped and rejoiced when i heard that he was doing a collaboration with j brand. these jeans are quite the splurge for me, but honestly look at the detail--i'm in love. i liked the contrast of pairing them with my grandma's lace blouse from the 60's. this blouse rarely leaves my closet for fear of coffee spills or another of my many clever moves.

have you all had a chance to check out my *inspire site? if you haven't you need to.
thank you all for your support and sweet comments. love.

  5. Hot damn, those pants are fierce & you are super hot in them! Better carry some pepper spray!

    Again, what is the deal w/ the coon tail? I love it. Details?

    p.s. The Navajo Blanket Coat just sold this morning. :( I just listed some upcycled bell bottoms that made me think of you, though.

  15. marlboro martini--thank you. unfortunately you can't see the detail on the blouse as much as i would have liked. it's even more gorgeous in person.

    dressed to please--you are very sweet! xxx

    raez--why thank you miss hotness herself!

    nickie--rebel on girl! haha.

    fade to black--my grandma was the most fashionable woman i knew. fortunately a lot of her wardrobe was passed down to me, unfortunately i lost her. )=; thank you for your sweet words!

    polliani--thank you, i consider myself lucky to have scored them and that they fit. purchasing jeans off the internet is sometimes sketchy with sizing. xxx
