Op shops. What gives! The down lighting, the crammed racks, silky yardage print dresses falling off hangers, the weird smell and the fact that if you buy something you have to carry a plastic bag around with you for the rest of the day. (NOTE: plastic bags are not a good accessory on any occasion. Except maybe the supermarket) and then there’s ALWAYS "that girl" You know- the one with the poorly bleached crop and jeans so high waisted she may as well be nude. She's the best friend of the red haired girl who's wearing an oversized flannel and stockings skewered with holes. Oh and one of those hats, don’t forget the hat! Please, it makes the outfit. In any other situation I would not find these two girls irritating. But why are they ALWAYS standing right where you want to look? Honestly. For the most part it’s just too bloody hard. That is until, you find something amazing. Something you know you wouldn't find unless you made it yourself. Yesterday I found this unbelievable off white, washed silk shirt. Seven dollars later and I now take back every unsavory thing I've ever said about op shopping. Because It's fucking great.
WHITER THAN WHITE, HOLIER THAN NOW
WOW, I LOVE IT - YOU ARE SO SO VERY PRETTY!

I love the stories you can make up in your head about the clothes you buy in op-shops..
ReplyDeleteI like to tell myself that this one belonged to a totally hip, and hot-to-trot beau of the 70's who rocked out in clubs and sweated till his mullet were wet enough to ring out.
He teamed this beautiful silk ensemble with acid wash semi high - up the crotch - jeans.
You can just picture it now can't you? And his name was Kevin.
I can't believe you ever hated thrift shopping! Your level on my awesomeness scale just dropped a quater of a notch (if that's possible...) x
ReplyDeleteI love love love the shirt!! I need at least five silk shirts... and I have only one...
ReplyDeletei feel exactly the same about op shopping. (im bracing to be hated). unfortunately i still havn't found anything amazing so my opinion is yet to be changed. wah. and why are the shops always found in dodgy locations that smell like pee?
ReplyDeleteamazing, reminds me off the white shirt erin wore all those years ago with the denim shorts before the world was crazily obsessed with her hehe. I went to Glebe markets on the w.e and had a similar exeperience to yours,i found an amazing vintage leather jacket , its one ive been searching for for years and could never find anything like it brand new or vintage!
ReplyDeleteIm going to do a post of you on my blog, your style is too amazing to go un-noticed hehe xx
ps. but you look amazing and i only wish i could learn how to find something brilliant. (im pretty sure there are skills involved haha).
ReplyDeleteI love it!

You rock!!!!
ReplyDeleteyou're lovely
ReplyDeleteyou're the first I've seen who makes the Moschino-belt look absolutely awesome! And love the M J pants belowwwwwwwwwwwwww
ReplyDeleteplastic bags are not good even in the supermarket... I hope they will ban them and make reusable canvas or recycled paper as the only option.
ReplyDeletethe girl in the latest issue of Urban Outfitters magazine looks as beautiful as you
ReplyDeleteyou should check it out

What colour is you ysl lipstick that you are wearing on the picture with the t-shirt with shoulder pads?
ReplyDeleteyou're a MODEL right?
ReplyDeleteyour pictures always blow me away !!!

Your photographs are great! I also don't mind that you pose like a model because you ARE one, so its okay..you look cool. Awesome clothes + awesome style.
ReplyDeleteyou probably have too many comments to read them all now but -- on the spelling of bleecker i just want you to know the 6 train SUBWAY STOP that's across lafayette had the wrong spelling (or the right one if you are you- anyway, your spelling) on the MAIN SIGN outside last week and they had put a PAPER SIGN over it !! LOL i couldn't believe it

lovely blog!
ReplyDeletequite honestly, you're an unoriginal, self-absorbed douche-bag and your website is an incoherent rip-off of much better blogs. (and i agree with 10:57pm).
ReplyDeleteWow! You look so good- I think your blog style is actually really original, I am sick of seeing pics of Alexa Chung and Dree Hemmingway ripped of TFS and re-posted on blogs.
ReplyDeleteHEY ALEXIS-WHO USES THE TERM DOUCHE BAG???? ARE YOU RAY ROMANO???
THE KING OF QUEENS MAYBE???
OR JUST JEALOUS?
Dearest Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteWell of course I don't. How could I? It's black and white fool. Regardless thanks for your comment. Just wish it didn't reek of spinelessness. Anonymous hate mail? second only to anonymous anthrax. Eek the worst kind of lame!
Don't hate congratulate! 4TH AND BLEEKER HAS OVER ONE HUNDRED FOLLOWERS.

Oh god! I can't believe I'm the last to know!!! Manners are out and hate mail is in? Now tell me "Alexis" because I know nobody with that name- Is it only cool to do it on matters you know absoloutly nothing about (IE: what I look like. Are you hiding in my garden with binoculars? creepy) or would I be just as cool as you to do it to any random blogger you've found on the internet? Forgive me but I ain't here to impress anyone and certainly am not asking you to read this. SO perhaps time to do something useful like find a new hobby as this one makes you look like a dick.

hating motherfuckers..
ReplyDeletei have met this LOVELY lady and she is really just that, lovely! modest, down to earth, sweet and beautiful! she looks exactly the same in reality as these photos.. minus black and white and makeup, because she is naturally flawless and really doesn't need it. jelousy really is the most unattractive trait. maybe you should find something better to do with your time then insult people. at least, if you must say hateful things to make yourself feel better (cliche but oh so true.)... go extend your vocabulary, make up some witty, smart calls to use. however, it doesnt really matter. do you honestly think alex gives a fuck what you have to say... look at her!
loove your blog hun xxx
stunning. Where's your vogue magazine cover?
ReplyDeletePretty pictures, awesome setting/lightening/clothes/poses, I especially love the last one♥
ReplyDeletegood build up ...but not the greatest silk shirt... i've found better & cheaper and yes without the irritating clientele...good blog and beautiful photos...keep on keeping on with your dopeself !!!
