*DIY fabric boots (original post here), H&M velvet leggings from 3 years ago, thrifted blouse cut asymmetrically, $7 sequin jacket from ross dress for less, embroidered elephant pouch necklace from random shop in San Luis Obispo, vintage motorcycle purse, vintage rings, belt from flea market.
these photos were taken downtown outside of the Tunnel Vision studio after going to see my dream house for the very first time. i've been searching for a new place to live for months now, and absolutely nothing has been just right. i've had a gut feeling to just wait it out and be patient for the perfect place to come along... and my patience has paid off a million times over. i just OFFICIALLY got my dream house with my best friend, adam, of 8 years. the third roommate is still in the works, but IT'S OURS!!!! i have no idea how it happened, but it truly felt like fate. the landlord and i seem to have some type of cosmic connection, as she didn't even glance at our applications or run our credit checks- she simply gave me the house on the spot because she liked me, although a million other people wanted it.
less than 3 weeks until we move in, and you can bet your asses that i will be doing SO MANY interior decorating posts. the place is absolutely gigantic with the most insane backyard i've ever seen (there's a pond)!!!! i can't wait to start gardening, plant flowers, and lounging in the sun with a book. my desire to be secluded in the woods has somehow been fulfilled in the middle of Echo Park.
dream. come. true.

Congrats on the house Brit ! Whoa, if David Bowie and Jimmy Hendrix had a baby..those boots are insane.
Congrats on the new house!! You must have a lot of good karma generating around you. Good things happen to good people.
Loving your boots by the way!
Oh. my. god. that house is perfection. DUDE I'm so happy for you. Aaaand in other news, your boots are effing gorgeous.
The return of those boots! YES. I wish I was patient enough to DIY. & congrats on your dream house!
this comment is going to have a bunch of stuff, not in order:
- it's funny that you pop these shoes out again, because after you made the original DIY post, i hopped onto ebay and purchased a pair of hideous chelsea boots, and went fabric shopping for the perfect tapestry fabric to make some too! they're still in my closet.. collecting dust. i should def get to that.
- haha, i like that you said your sequin jacket is from ross dress for less.. ya know, because dress for less is their slogan, and the store's name is ross. or am i wrong?! have i been lied to by my mom all these years?!!!!!
- i think this is my favorite post from you, but i say that every time you post, so..... but this one REALLY IS MY FAVORITE.
- YOUR HOUSE OMG WTF SO PERFECT. happy for ya, and your other two roommates :) i only hope to find one half as good as yours when i graduate high school next year.
love it!

Wow, congrats on the house - you got really lucky! And I have an elephant pouch necklace EXACTLY like yours, whaaat! :) I got mine from a Thai temple so I'm guessing they're imported from Thailand.
