Runaway Train

A couple of months ago, I found this blazer at the Flea Market, but have been hard-pressed to find an appropriate occasion to bust out its disco-inspired sparkles.  Rather than waiting around for a festive party, I opted to add a whimsical touch to my daytime ensemble while running errands.  On the way to Trader Joe’s, my boyfriend and I spotted this abandoned train track and thought the run-down exterior would make for the perfect complement to my jeweled jacket.

Also, a big thanks to Kat, who sent over Essie’s beautiful Spring 2009 collection.  I immediately painted on Lacquered Up, a hot crimson shade, on my fingers and decided it was too pretty not to paint on my toes as well.

    Your photo shoots are becoming more and more beautiful. UO should take notes, their last catalog was awful. I especially like your loose up-do and the lighting. All in all, perfection :)
