hand-me-downs


As a child, for fun, and before I had any real understanding of the value of a dollar, I would clean out my mother’s weighty bag and keep the change as a reward.

On my last visit home we replayed this tradition but traded pennies and lint for pumps, and tales of styles past. Among rummaging and reminiscing, I spotted these boots that went on for days. ‘Those were my favourite’ she announced excitedly, referring to the higher than thigh italian boot, instantly making them infinitely better.

My most precious belongings are infused with her goodness. I would wear her if I could. . . as in an eternal hug not a coat made of skin

Such a beauty, inside and out.
This photo really shows her inner cool, she's not having any part of mother nature raining on her style parade, no sir.

Fortunate to have her in my life.

of course Jacinta...I have a favorite place in my heart for Jacinta! She works all the time and don't get to see her much but we will remedy that on the 17th.
Jacinta was definately responsible for a good part of the inspiration for all things fashion...the path leading to anna (sui)

a scrap book of sorts

We are two best friends: Sarah and Lara.

We have been collaging together since we were in kindergarten. From hilroy to apple, the medium has changed but the message remains the same.

We get by with a little help from our friends,
