yeah gurl

If you're in LA this Saturday, don't miss the first summer installment of Yeah Gurl, That's the Price -- a trade show/ sample sale/ crucial, all out fashion extravaganza featuring some of our favorite designers like Rik Villa, Boos & Besito, Rojas, and Rossmore. Between shopping your heart out, grab some feather hair extensions, get your custom nail art on, sip on some drinks at the bar, and if you're like me, chow down on one (or five...) of LA's finest bacon-wrapped hotdogs. There will even be a kissing booth benefitting PAWS/LA, so you can get your mack on and help cute puppies at the same time! 

I'll be there selling my voodoo skull necklaces and tie dye fringe tops with my goth twin Rik, so come by and say hi!

Love, 

Tess

our house

Spending the long weekend cleaning house and tending to some much neglected errands. The new room is finally put together -- remember this post way back when? I've traded in my old room (best described as crazy cat lady meets Rosemary's Baby) for a more Americana vibe, with flags, skulls, horses, Native American textiles, and a cowhide rug. Of course, I couldn't help throwing in a little Christian kitsch for good measure. While I'm digging the way the room is looking so far, to me a room is always a work in progress. Who knows what strange and amazing treasures next week's flea market might bring?

Love, 

Tess

real wild child

Our amazingly talented friend Johnique Shackleford just launched her own line called The Desert Child, featuring perfectly studded vintage denim, adorable body-con fringe armed dresses, and gorgeous one-of-a-kind jewelry, combining bones, feathers, leather, and vintage findings into wearable pieces of art. Handmade with love, The Desert Child's pieces are bound to bring lots of good juju (and also lots of jealous glances) to anyone who wears them. 

Love,
