I am getting premature nostalgia for little old San Francisco, even though I haven't left yet I find myself behaving as a tourist everyday And looking forlornly At old photographs and videos of San Francisco! Here is a Chinatown shoot near my apartment: Details about the look: Blouse: 1940s Hawaiian beaded birds ~ From: Alameda flea market Skirt: 1960s ~ From: heldover Shoes: 1960s ~ From: kennedy holmes Hat: 1950s ~ From: Linda Wink bad girl vintage Purse: 1980s Victor Carranza piano purse ~ From: Twirl Vintage Co Belt:1960s ~ From: Costume Party SF Lipstick: MAC in So Chaud Photographed in: San Francisco above Chinatown Stockton tunnel Photographed by:  Pierre Eymard

I have talked about how I look like Lenci dolls here Since I have the same body type and face hahah I thought I would take tips and hints from the dolls themselves!! With the skirt above I can now officially style a Lenci - esque outfit!! I also found a hat (will be in a future winter post) I also recently won a Lenci doll purse on ebay  which will go nicely with above hat! Look at the felt flowers and scallops on the edge of the skirt and hats below! The designer of my skirt must have loved lenci dolls as much as I do!
