IRON SWAN

I can't decide if this dress is breaking my 'no new clothing in 2012' rule. It's not vintage and it seems to be new, however purchased from Buffalo Exchange, so I guess that makes it second hand (sort of)? Any case, breaking the rules feels right in this case. The sleeves make me feel more animated and the mini length has sent me hemming dresses. This dress also attended my first rock n roll show in the Bay area. Thanks, Big Drag!

SHOPPING WITH MY SPONSORS

I'm so happy to be able to introduce you, dear readers, to another round of fantastic vintage shops that are standing behind the Mousevox blog this month. With Summer coming upon us, I'm dreaming of sundresses, woven leather flats and pretty bags for beach days. This round of pieces I'm currently coveting from the shops below fits the bill without breaking the bank, all while shopping responsibly. Remember, it's always best to shop vintage & second hand - be kind to our Earth and its inhabitants - sweat shop free is the way to be!

WEEKEND PEEKS - ASIAN ART MUSEUM

In many ways, San Francisco is still a very new city to me, despite my having been here for nearly 9 months. I find myself discovering new places and gaining new experiences that continue to reinforce my idea that this is, indeed, the place I'm supposed to be for right now. The Asian Art Museum should not be excluded from my list of magical encounters during this chapter of my life. It's a humbling place, to say the least, with a healthy dash of bizarre and creepy sights to satiate the part of my mind that likes to get freaked out every once in awhile. It's one of those places I know I'll re-visit, as once is just not enough to fully absorb what's offered.

Side note: I know it's been all Instagrams & crickets around these parts, as of late. May has proven itself to be the busiest of months. I'm looking forward to a calmer, more organized June, which will, hopefully, mean more substantial blogging. Thanks for sticking around!
