Being a hoarder: detrimental to me, but beneficial to you.

Despite having a successful stoop sale a couple of weekends ago, alas I STILL have too much crap! So I’ve posted some shoes, handbags and jewelry on eBay, most of it brand-new.

Some of the items I’m selling are above, but check out this link for more goodies:  http://www.ebay.com/sch/sunshon8/m.html?_nkw&_armrs=1&_from&_ipg&_trksid=p3686

Brands I’m selling: nOir jewelry, L.A.M.B., Quay Australia Eyewear, Franco Fortini, Forever 21, Sofia Tartufoli, Faryl Robin, Naughty Monkey, Not Rated, Iron Fist. Some of it’s rare, past-season, sold out stuff, so definitely worth a peek.

Happy bidding!

Since this sale was delayed a week, I managed to dig up MORE shit; lucky you! Come by if you’re in the Brooklyn area. Here’s a photo of one of MANY things my friend Jill and I will be selling: brand new Iron Fist pumps with HOT PINK SEQUIN SKULLS, in size 6 & 7.

Due to shitty ass weather (a random NY snowstorm in October?!), we are postponing The “I HAVE TOO MUCH SH*T” Sale that was originally planned for today, October 30. 

After doing a quick walk around the block in my pajamas and rain boots, I’ve concluded it’s too cold and icy outside for people to have a fun, enjoyable shopping experience. Damn you weather gods! >_<

Please stay tuned for rescheduling details in the near future; I still have a ton of shit that needs to be reckoned with!

Seriously, I have TONS of shit, some never worn with price tags still attached! I am long past due for a closet overhaul. Here’s a quick photo to give you an idea; I have 20+ pairs of awesome shoes to sell! There will also be a great selection of clothing and accessories. Come by if you’re in the Brooklyn area and want to score some major swag!

This dress has me FLOORED; I love it! That said, oh why oh WHY is the price tag so steep?? The only way I can justify $465.45 is if I wear it daily, go to meetings, throw on some sneakers and run errands in it. This style is a perfect combination of my current obsessions: leather + cutout details. So chic, modern and sexy.

……..

SO… I guess that dress pulled me out of a long hiatus! A short update: I’ve been building my business as an art director/graphic designer, pulling in new clients, juggling deadlines, driving myself nuts. Honestly, I don’t have much of a social life at the moment. But I’m happy to say that I landed a potentially big client this week! Perhaps the dress isn’t so far out of my reach, if I continue to hustle… ;P

So… what started out as a little break has turned into an indefinite hiatus as I focus on my career as an art director. Truth be told, freelance does not equate more free time! But I can’t complain, I’m happy for the work.

A blog requires a lot of time and energy; I’m not one to do things half-assed, so shonshon8′s on hold. That said, I’ve been rethinking my blog and its focus. Once I’m ready to resume, it won’t be just a physical redesign but a streamlining of my content. I love fashion, but it’s only one of my many passions. I already covered other interests, but I’d like to make it more homogeneous. (After all, it is my blog and I can do whatever I want!) So dear readers, thanks for reading my posts; I’ll be in touch.

I like the thread texture treatment they did with the font Balearic Thread. Very energetic and modern.

……..

This font is called OTTO and it gives me the feeling of sexy, futuristic stilettos and an adventurous night ahead. Very elegant. Created by design studio Non-Format.

……..

So… big news for me… After working as an art director and graphic designer at my current company for almost five years, I put in my two weeks notice on Friday. It is time for new challenges and adventures; I am pursuing freelance design. I am really excited about future prospects and already have some interesting projects in the works. The next couple of weeks few months will be crazy as I transition into a new chapter of my life and may disappear for a moment. But I’m hoping one of the things I can get back to is working on my blog; this site needs a redesign!

Here’s a toast to making career moves and aiming for creative and personal fulfillment. Gotta be true to self. I’m ecstatic about this new change in my life; the possibilities are endless… Ready, set, GO!!

“Major Winter Storm Hits Northeast”

“BLIZZAPOLIS!”

These were some of the headlines I read when checking the weather websites Sunday morning, yet… I don’t know what possessed us, either the crazy weather was inspiring or we’re insane, but Beegi and I decided to do a photo shoot in the midst of a chaotic BLIZZARD, with high gusts of wind flinging snow in our faces and numbing our limbs. Not exactly a peaceful winter wonderland, but certainly an interesting (and freezing) experience!

I’m wearing my favorite winter items of the moment: my studded earmuffs, my silver puffer that everyone describes as that “crazy spaceman jacket” and my funky yellow scarf that FRAAS sent me. Aside from being a fan of anything houndstooth and loving the shirring detail in the center, what’s notable about this neckwrap is it’s made of a material called Cashmink(R), an exclusive acrylic that is finer than cashmere, but at a fraction of the price ($30-40). Also comes in a variety of colors, patterns and styles. I’m all for splurging on quality product, but sometimes you can be stylish without sacrificing your wallet.

By the time the blizzard tapered off, NY was buried in nearly 2 feet of snow… Fun to look at, but admittedly tough to trudge through. For a city that never stops, the snow messed up subway lines, several businesses were closed and a lot of travelers were stranded. But I still made it to work on Monday!

P.S. Notice anything new with my hair? I actually did this a few weeks ago, but haven’t posted; I have blond pieces now!
