black hat+ grey top+ little leg= YES

my, my, my, whiskey and rye

Just scored the best vintage Joan Jett tee. And until outfit pictures are posted, these will have to do...

Dreamsicle Musings

I've gotta thank the lovely Isabel of Hipster Musings and Chickdowntown for the awesome Dreamsicle White Fang top by Wildfox Couture. Maybe it's my inner Blackfoot, but a crop top with feathers, beads, and teeth is perfect thing to wear with my Current/Elliot roll up shorts, while hanging out in the treepee!

And go bookmark hipster musings. Though you should be forewarned- it may lead to some serious shoe shopping. Yes, it's had that effect on me...

"you and me burnin' in the summertime"

Going to a beach in Santa Cruz today, and first on my summer reading list is Noise. I mean, how can you go wrong with Sonic Youth inspired fiction?

HELL YEAH!

Givenchy Resort 2010

I wonder if I wouldn't love this as much if she had different hair?

I don't know how much longer I can hold out.

Pretty much the best denim jacket ever

Back from my Portland vacation...

In chains, I'm in chains

Givenchy's Fall 2008 Collection

Messy Chain Necklace from Urban Outfitters

Those Givenchy photos are soo good! I had to settle for the messy chain necklace at Urban Outfitters- the perfect accessory to drape over threadbare tee shirts.

How I wanna spend my summer vacation

In a treepee!

the cut out dress!

sophomore nyc

Alexander Wang

I've been eyeing the cutout dress for a while, but couldn't bring myself to splurge- until now. Well sort of. I found a vintage version on etsy for $48.00. Much for affordable than the Sophomore or Wang version!

bag lust

six days until vacation...

Ace Hotel in Portland- here I come!

"i want you to levitate me"

When I grow up, I wanna be Kim Gordon. Oh who am I fooling? I wanna be Kim Gordon right now!

Alexander Wang: More Leather & Chains Love

I *just* got the Alexander Wang "Brenda" bag that's been haunting me for quite some time. I love the distressed leather! This Wang's gonna age well- which makes me happy, cause babying bags ain't my thing. I play rough. It has some incredible details. Around the front pockets, there is a suede trim which surprisingly adds to its distressed look. And the chains! I don't even need jewelry. Thank you Mr. Wang.

riot bracelet

hug me tight chain vest

So when it comes to jewelry, I've never sought anything of the delicate/lady-like variety. I'm much more drawn to "in yo' face" pieces. Naturally, that led me to Bliss Lau. Talk about stand out designs! I ordered the "riot" bracelet from Bona Drag. Upon arrival yesterday, it was love at first sight! Though it's bold, I think it'll be quite easy to incorporate into my wardrobe. Today I opted to pair it with something simple- denim and cotton. And now I think I need her "Hug me Tight" chain vest...
