one way or another, i've settled on the idea of wearing a vintage smoking jacket as a cover-up. i must have seen some velvety smoky rocker parading around in one, or an olsen, but the idea has been lodged in my brain too long to go unnoticed. therefore i set out the other day to find something vintage-y, tattered, silky and over-sized. if you search vintage robes/ smoking jackets on either etsy or ebay, you'll find quite a bit.
a few i considered:
after a few days of searching, this striped robe got me all hopped up to bid. i am a nervous bidder, i can't wait for auctions to end, merely to be done with the stress that ruins perfectly good night sleeps. teeth grinding and nail biting aside, i won the auction and have been wearing this thing around the house (and outside too) ever since.
she's there in the shop, check her out....
wine tasting and sewing and living the life of a rock star has prevented me from posting much lately. soon though, once the buzz wears off.
currently listening to the doobie brothers.
i've opened a new etsy store with a better name, and better attitude. ha. mainly the new name. the items i'll be posting are the bucket bags i've been working diligently to perfect (is one ever really satisfied with one's creations?), and will be selling them at what i feel to be, though no one has to agree, fair prices. each bag was an experiment in some manner, so they will all be unique and special...a quick note about the name and i'll be done. my grandma used to tell me when i was little that i was named after sarah bernhardt, the french actress, because i was so dramatic. she's quite an interesting character, if you're curious, read up...
i've been fortunate and spoiled enough to be whisked away to a beach house for a week with my kin. baking my limbs, jumping into the chilly surf, and thawing in a hot tub can be exhausting on one's psyche. thus, we desperately occupy ourselves with crafts to break up the monotony. the most treacherous craft this year, after capture the spear, was tie-dying. after watching the tutorial video, we set to work re-creating the designs on our own..
dad scrutinizing the quality of organic free-range kosher cotton.
i had purchased a white button-up for the occasion, an attempt to re-create the proenza schouler surf look. people were dribbling blue and squirting red every which way: swirls, bulls-eyes, wave patterns. we turned into feuding chromatic tribes. it was an ugly scene, but we managed to get the job done. 
redemption came when we unrolled the suckers 24 hours later:
our tribe, now at peace: 
until next time, your raggedy beach bum, sarah.
