A DAY IN THE WORKSHOP
Today Karen and I spent all day putting the finishing touches on the first batch of beetle belts. You all know how I love to recycle t-shirts, so it seemed fitting to make their dust bags out of old laundered t-shirts. Karen and I were pleased with how they turned out. Cutting the b...

EXPLORING THE GINZA
Yesterday we explored the Ginza district. Many of Jane's readers had recommended a toy store there. I had not been to the Ginza in more than 25 years--Wow, how it has changed. Yesterday, the main street was closed to traffic, making it a very serene experience--not at all like the Ginza I rem...

Kelly Wearstler HUE
This past week, I went to ABC Carpet and Home to meet one of my favorite Interior Designers, Kelly Wearstler. You might have seen her as one of the judges of Bravo's "Top Design" with her outlandish outfits or her crazy hairstyles, but this woman to me is a LEGEND. She has an amazing sense of fl...
Great post. She rocks everything she wears. I think she is a truly original artist and a lot of it is to with the fact that she does exactly what she wants regardless if anyone is else is doing it.

RIHANNA SIZZLES
Ever since I saw Rihanna wear that crazy Dolce Gabbana tuxedo for the CFDA awards this past summer, I have been keeping my eyes open and followed her every clothing move. The girl has been through a tough year with many different obstacles thrown at her. The girl has changed and colored her hair...

Cougartown!
Ok, so last month I turned 35 and its just my luck that the animal print craze is back! LOL..If I wear leopard prints will people call me a cougar I thought to myself? I was hesitant but got over that real quick. I've loved animal print, animal skins and anything related for a long time. Just...

OUT AND ABOUT
Running errands in a jacket by Gryphon. I love this piece! It works great as a warmer coat here in Texas or just a cute jacket to throw on over jeans. Jane and I have a special project in the pipeline with Gryphon for spring--we're very excited about it. Worn with LGB tie dye jeans purchas...

Gisela's Giambattista's!
Ever since I saw Mary Kate wear these killer "Victoria" Giambattista Valli platforms (named after Victoria Beckham) to the designer's party in 2008 I immediately needed them in my life! Thank god for Century 21! I have no idea when I will wear these or even how but dam they look good! ...

Austin pt 2
The best part of our trip to Austin was definitely Toy Joy. We are all avid collectors of plastic animals (my aunt runs a blog called Plastic Animal a Day) and toy enthusiasts in general, so we went totally ape over Toy Joy's offerings. Karen and my mom had never been before, and they were bot...

Gisela's Cleaning Out Closet..Again!
Hi Everyone! Sorry I've been MIA lately, so swamped with baby duty but since Maury's super busy this weekend, I figured I'd make a little time to post. I've been selling like crazy on ebay! Since I'm a stay-at-home-mom, this helps me feel like I'm somewhat working, lol. Below are some amazing sh...
Wow looks like an amazing store. I love discovering new vintage stores. Right now i can't wait to check out the store what comes around in Camden, London. I currently have some great vintage jewellery on my blog. I guess I have my own little mini collection.

TRIP TO ARCHIVE VINTAGE
Today Jane and I went into Dallas to see Archive Vintage. Archive Vintage is my favorite vintage store in Dallas. I was actually visiting today to bring back a Valentino skirt I had on approval for Carol to wear to Le Bal, but Carol doesn't want to wear vintage. A shame, the skirt is beauti...
I love reading comments on my blog and love to hear that readers appreciate reading my ideas. However I have read a fair amount of negative comments on other blogs. I think blogging is a new form of expression and so like art there is going to be controversy surrounding the content. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I believe blogging is a new art form and so controversy is inevitable. However that does not mean you don't have the choice to decide whether to tolerate it or not and I think it is good that as bloggers we have that option.

Lazy Weekend
Is everyone else in North Texas sick of this gloomy weather yet? It's been wet and grey for two months now. It's starting to affect my mood...but at least this weather provides a good excuse to crawl into bed and watch movies. This weekend I watched A Room With a View (because I love Helena Bo...
