Catalina Island, California

Sharon — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 01:09:35 +0000

Here’s a few quick pics of me in Avalon (yes, like the song) on Catalina Island, for the Catalina Jazz Dance Festival in November 2010. The first is on the ferry over with the Casino Ballroom in the background, and the second with Miss Catalina 2010, on the slab. Round sunglasses are Top Shop, the aviator jacket is Zara, the dress is vintage 1950s from Eons in Pittsburgh, the yellow scarf from Thriftique in Pittsburgh, the cream scarf from a vintage market in Paris. I’m going back to the 2011 festival for sure! Beautiful weather, great bands, and the most beautiful ballroom I’ve ever been in in my life. And this time I’m bringing a vintage bathing suit and I’m going to strut my stuff for the Miss Catalina contest. Come on ladies, who else is in?

Hermes Fall 2010: Top Picks

Sharon — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 02:28:55 +0000

My favorites from the Hermes Fall 2010 ready-to-wear show. Plenty of lady fops and dandies, with leather replacing tweeds in a mildly fetish twist. Like British super-heroines in some post-apocalyptic London… very Avengers. These women clearly need to be driving this car. Animal print umbrellas, pocket watches, leather gloves, bowler hats and netting veils, what’s not to like?

I think the dress is fantastic! Tom & Lorenzo gave her so-so review, but I love it!

Simple, elegant, love it!

Grey dress, red Remix shoes, red flower in the hair, love it Miss Ali Connell! Photos snapped of Ali dancing at Lindy Focus January 2010, in Asheville, North Carolina, by photographer Colin Butler. Look at that dress swirl too, swoon!
