Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open. ~John Barrymore
Trust me: I'm smiling BIG-TIME on the inside. I recently wore my newest favorite outfit, cobbled together by two of my most recent purchases- a grand vintage straw hat from the charming Crimson & Clover boutique AND a bitchin' striped blouse from the new Goodwill that opened last week in Midtown. I feel at once modern and vintage, with some sort of Renoir-esque retro thrown in for good measure. The outfit was comfortable and looked sharp- so you know I loved it!
to this Fall! I've going to be very busy in the coming weeks, and it is all thanks to you. None of the wonderful adventures ahead would be lying in wait if I hadn't have started this blog, and if I haven't have had such a wonderful bunch of readers and friends here to support me. So....big kisses from me to you! Thank you for being part of my adventures!
Now Wearing:
- 1950's vintage straw hat, Crimson & Clover
- Signature sunnies
- Vintage B/W striped blouse, the new Goodwill Boutique
- Record Cuff, Cuffs
- 7 For All Mankind jean skirt
- Steve Madden shoes

I love stripes. I've been looking for anything striped lately and just found a dress from H&M. I haven't posted it yet. Great music above!! Reminds me of Squirrel Nut Zippers.
Loved your quote. Reminded me a bit of Lennon's: 'life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans'. Glad you're happy, love your snazzy outfit.
you look so cute! And I'm excited for your plans... can't wait to hear about them Bella! xo
I'm thinking this is my favorite outfit yet!! The stripes, hat, heart sunglasses, denim, and heels with a ruffle...PERFECT on you dear Bella! I'm so excited about what life has in store for you beautiful!!
I agree that you look modern and vintage at the same time, which is such a nice contrast. I like the sunglasses.
Can't wait to read the next chapter in the book of Bella, it's gonna be juicy!! And as always, you are well dressed for the exciting role!
Sweet outfit!! Love the hat, I can't ever get one to fit my fat head! Can't wait to hear your news.:)
I frickin love this outfit.
so happy for you! I love your hat!
I love the hat! I love the Jonh Barrymore quote! I love that things are going so well for you!!!
I can't wait to hear about all of your new adventures you are about to embark on. I love your stripes with your heart shaped glasses.
Looking gorgeous as usual! BTW, I LOVED the necklace you wore when we had beers the other day! I think it was a large silver eagle. Where on earth did you get that?!
That was Kerry's fab score from Goodwill. I was wearing at it so she could look at it while we had beers...lol.
I love this outfit. I mean, I love all stripes, but black and white ones are my absolute favorite. I'm wearing them over in my post today, too!
whouuu, love the whole outfit and that picturesque inspiration, specially the striped shirt and the pretty hat: you're awesome!
besos
Oh, I love the hat...and can't wait to find out what's cookin' for you.
I really like this vertical striped top on you, Bella! I am also very excited to hear about what you're going to be up to this Fall!
Great head wear and looking forward to hearing about your new tasty tidbit!
I was looking at the photos and thinking that the overall look reminded me of something... then you said Renoir and I was like "yes!". Awesome!
Talk about a tease.......can't wait to hear what's ahppening for you!
Love this funky little outfit! Working it!!

I love this outfit. The blouse is kindof punk rock, yet the fit is feminine. The hat is truly amazing on you.
Loving the black and white!
I absolutely love this look on you!! The skirt looks awesome on you!! It's good to be back! I missed you TONS!! :)
Aww, yay!! Can't wait to watch everything play out for you. :) Love the stripes!
So excited for all this fabulousness you have coming at you. (The future's so bright you gotta wear shades? Sorry, I had to do it.) And I'm also very excited about this outfit, hello! That striped top is divine, and the shoes, and just everything. Also loved the inclusion of Django - my sister's ballet company did a piece with his music a few years ago. It was essentially my introduction and Minor Swing is my fave!
That's amazing to read. I think I saw something on twitter but I'm not sure. Well, congrats on all the good stuff happening in your life.
Ga! You scored at the Goodwill with that shirt and I'm swooning over your splendid hat - what an AMAZING combo!!!! You deserve good things to come your way lovely Bella - you're beautiful inside and out **big hugs** xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
adorable outfit
You're like a modern Gibson girl, with some Lolita thrown in (the sunglasses), and a dash of flapper too (the shoes). You are killing me on Twitter, love your comments, they are a fun little morale boost.
Good to hear you're smiling poppet. You're looking too cute in the stripe shirt and straw hat combo!
Love it!
x.o.x.o
Look at you all dolled up, that shirt is so crisp and sharp. Congrats on your successes Bella!
Darling, I have to tell you- I watched Coco Avant Chanel last night and I couldn't stop thinking about how a lot of her fashion reminds me of you! A gorgeous brunette in some menswear inspired get-ups?! And the hats?? Come on girl. You and Coco are inspirational, strong women. I thank you!
xoxo
Oh my...the hat! The stripes! The shoes! You're killing me. I love this look.
