claudia and i

Um. How do I say this...without sounding like a complete asshole...? Sigh. Well, a few weeks ago I posted about how cute I thought the bat necklace was from Meadham Kirchhoff's Fall 2012 collection. And, ahem, um, Meadham Kirchoff saw the post...and offered to send it to me. Apparently it's "just some junky thing they found for the show" and was used in the show, and it came wrapped in rainbows and stickers and heavily scented packaging. This happened. To me. I'm still very much in shock about it. I am not some ~famous blogger with loads of readers and connections, so getting sent something as special as this necklace means so much to me because there are no ulterior motives behind it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Meadham Kirchhoff!

Worn with my vintage Claudia the Vampire dress. Maybe it's a little obtuse that I wore this outfit out simply to have coffee with Jackie (who is in a really rad band called Mahogany that you should listen to). But I'd been listening to Anna Calvi all day and was feeling especially romantic and morose, and chose to project those feelings externally.

Winged necklace, winged Miu Miu shoes. It made sense to me at the time.
