Textile and Bead Love at the Santa Monica Airport Market
As promised, the textiles (and beads) that caught my eye last Sunday at the Santa Monica Airport Market.
Sit yourself down and enjoy!
I can get ALL THE THINGS when I shop with my camera.

Clogged, In a Good Way
I went to a clog close-out sale today, at the Santa Monica Airport Flea.
Here is how most of my collection (I left out a few exotics) looked at dawn:
It was bright yet chilly, so I piled on accessories
Once at the flea, I made a beeline to Zingara, who was having a fabulous sale --
Sven wooden soled clogs at $49/pair vs $100+
Zingara used to have a shop on Abbot Kinney, before it became an overpriced, overhyped international shopping destination.
I did a post about the shop (and Abbot Kinney) here.
Phase two she moved to a "container shop" in the West Adams district. (I never got there).
Now, for Phase three, she's going in a new (undisclosed) direction, without her inventory.
I bought two pairs.
My collection grows!

| Mismatched hat with mock braids. It's warm. I wore extra thick socks -- to avoid buying "Torture Clogs". |

| Aren't those saddle shoe baby clogs adorable? Want! |

| Bronze backless . Brown backless 2-tone suede. Not to worry, I DID buy pairs! The mismatched socks came that way -- I bought them at a cute country store in Vermont. |

Rainy Week Brights
It certainly helps me get dressed in the morning.
Friday's prompt (Past and Present) sent me down the rabbit hole of searching for times I posted images of that kimono fabric tunic.
Here's the first, the OG SpyGirl:

Hello 2019
Long time no "see".
I've been posting my outfits on Instagram.
Here's what I wore to work last week:
As you can see, Friday's outfit was the favorite!
For this post, I learned how to embed IG posts.
So easy.
On Instagram, you go to "More, ie the triple dots" and choose "Embed".
You'll then get html code to paste into wherever.

These are my "Tiny Planets" for the work week. I make them with an app, using elements of my outfit.
The app bends the photo into a circle.
