Oh Canada!





After having what was referred to as a "Birthday Festivus" encompassing a 3 day birthday celebration this past weekend for me, we ended it all on Tuesday, the day of my official birth, by attending a gallery exhibition of a well-liked photographer in Miami. I figured it befitting if I ended it in the era where my heart belongs, the 60's, even if I was born in the late 70's much to my dismay. Thus I was dandified or rather primped in a somewhat fitting Vintage, slight Mandarin collared green paisley, knee-length dress from the 60's with long sleeves held together by purple buttons. Which was lovingly purchased for me as a pressie by one of my best friends Willow, whilst on a vacation in Canada. No adornment needed other than my silver and Marcazite ring with an onyx stone as there was no need to cloud the purple button detail in the front. Onyx is said to symbolize thought to increase regeneration, happiness, intuition, instincts. Also thought to decrease sexual desire and helps to change bad habits. Isn't that an interesting artifact? hahaha Tying it all together with black opaque stockings and my favorite black 3 tiered fringe Minnetonka BOOTS. I paired it with a black scrunchy bag with silver fringes. I have a slight tendency to somehow always incorporate some kinda fringe whether it be jewelery, boots or items of clothing in my ensemblage due to my undying love of the "Azteca" and "masala" let's just say all kinds of Indian hahaha...

Hope you enjoy a little vintage as much as I do...
