Frock Friday: The Kills

Frock Friday: The Kills

I was feeling a little under the weather when we went to see The Kills last Saturday night, hence my serious look here. I chugged 2 bottles of water and felt a lot better though. I was super excited for this show because we saw them on tour for the Midnight Boom album years ago...
Frock Friday: Le Fou Frock

Frock Friday: Le Fou Frock

    A couple we’re friends with took us to dinner at a local French restaurant, and I decided it was time to debut a dress I’ve had for a year. It’s vintage, and the tag says “Quality Hill” in a script that looks 1950′s, but I haven’t done any research. The matching belt has...

Frock Friday: New Year’s Frockin’ Eve

We spent New Year’s with a small group of friends at one of their houses. They had just gotten a new bar, have a terrific karaoke set up, and we all pitched in to make a delicious dinner. I have a pair of black high-waisted shorts but wanted something more formal for New Year’s. Thus,...

That title…thank my husband for that! Sorry about missing the Louise Loves yesterday, it’s been a busy week. I’ve got some things saved to make next week extra good though so stay tuned. This goes back a few weeks to another of our unusually warm days before Christmas. I love layering! Scarf: Victoria’s Secret Jacket:...

Frock Friday

Last Friday night (ha, ha, like the song), we went with a few good friends to see The Latenight Callers (who played at our wedding) and Victor & Penny play at The R Bar. We staked out the big table in front of the stage and proceeded to enjoy beer and cocktails as other friends...

Frock Friday

A Saturday outfit. I did some shopping and had a meeting that day. I love layering like this in the Fall when the weather can change a lot throughout the day. Adding a vintage inspired statement necklace over something frilly just works for me lately. I call this sweater my “Franken-sweater” because I took the...
Frock Friday: Schott Bros. NYC

Frock Friday: Schott Bros. NYC

I almost called this post “Schott Through the Heart” or “A Schott in the Dark”, but I resisted. A few months ago, fellow Virgo and blogging queen, Gala Darling, posted some pics of her with Nubby Twiglet, in which Gala wore an amazing motorcycle jacket from Schott Bros. NYC. That’s one of those items of clothing I’ve...
Frock Friday: Secretary Casual

Frock Friday: Secretary Casual

So you probably know, I am all about the tie neck blouses, scarves, and lady-like style. Think Maggie Gyllanhaal in the movie Secretary. Sometimes though, I want to throw on a pair of jeans, so this ensemble is perfect. I bought these shoes to wear with the Trashy Diva leopard suit I got married in....
