Next Year Baby

Dress - House of Wilde / Boots - Friend of Mine

Next year
Things are gonna change
Gonna drink less beer
And start all over again

Gonna read more books
Gonna keep up with the news
Gonna learn how to cook
And spend less money on shoes

Gonna pay my bills on time
File my mail away, everyday
Only drink the finest wine
And call my gran every Sunday

Well resolutions
Well baby they come and go
Will I do any of these things?
The answer's probably no

But if there's one thing, I must do
Despite my greatest fears
I'm gonna say to you
How I've felt all of these years

Next year
Next year

I'm gonna tell you how I feel
I'm gonna tell you how I feel

Well, resolutions
Baby they come and go
Will I do any of these things?
The answer's probably no

But if there's one thing, I must do
Despite my greatest fears
I'm gonna say to you
How I've felt all of these years

Next year
Next year
Next year

Heart it Races

Top - Chaser / Shorts - By Chance / Boots - MTNG from Lulu's / Beanie - Boyfriends

And we're slow to acknowledge the knots in our laces
Heart it races

And we go back to where we moved out to the places
Heart it races

I bought it in a can and stirred it with my fingers
Singin' boom da da da da da da boom dat dat dat da da
Threw it out the window
Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter
With your boom da da da da da da boom dat dat dat da da
Legs like little splinters

Legs like little splinters

And we're slow to acknowledge the knots in our laces
Heart it races

- Dr. Dog

Getting excited for the holidays....!

Falling in Love

Dress - Chaser / Boots - Grey City / Earrings - Luv AJ x 4th and Bleeker

You're so bad you're so bad you're so 
You're so bad you're so bad 

You think you're in love 
Like it's a real sure thing 
But every time you fall 
You get your ass in a sling 
You used to be strong 
But now it's ooh baby please 
'Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees 

You're so bad you're so bad you're so 
You're so bad you're so bad 

We was making love when you told me that you loved me 
I thought ol' cupid he was taking aim 
I was believer when you told me that you loved me 
And then you called me someone else's name 

There ain't gonna be no more beggin' you please 
You know what I want 
And it ain't one of these 
You're bad to the bone 
And your girlfriend agrees 
That falling in love is so hard on the knees 

- Aerosmith

There is something just so effortlessly Rock n Roll about this dress....

I'm thinking it must the crushed velvet and print of it.

Instead of pairing it with a moto jacket which would be so tempting,

I decided to go with fringe... to me it added a bit more Penny Lane into my outfit.

Ohhh....!

And can we talk about my boots!!

These bad boys are by Grey City and winter must have!

My Moon Man

Sweater - Free People / Pants - Kelly Wearstler / Boots - Zara

My moon, my man
So changeable and
Such a loveable lamb to me

My care, my coat
Leave on a high note
There's nowhere to go but on

Heart on my sleeve
Not where it should be
The song's out of key again

My moon's white face
What day and what phase
It's the calendar page again

Take it slow
Take it easy on me
And shed some light
Shed some light on me please

- Feist

Chunky sweaters are my must have for fall/winter and this one in particular from

Free People is perfect!

You put it on and can pretty much live in it... yes, it's that cozy!

I love how its black and white because if you want you can add a pop of color in a pant...

or just toughen it up with some kick ass leather or faux leather pants like I did.

Fortunate Son

All clothes - Waar / Boots - Dr. Martens

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no

Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer More! more! more! yoh

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no

- Creedence Clearwater Revival

I just had the pleasure of collaborating with my boyfriend who shot these amazing photos,

 and friends over at WAAR...

 Which yes is a menswear line but that did not stop us!

I'm modeling above pieces from their Holiday 12 collection.

I love how they turned out the whole tomboyish way of them and all.

Ladies... go raid your mans closet!

AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Alabama Shakes

Dress - Arnhem / Jacket - Nasty Gal / Boots - MTNG from LuLu's / Necklaces - Vanessa Mooney

Bless my heart
Bless my soul
I didn't think I make it
To 22 years old

There must be someone up above
Singing come on with me
You gotta come on up

You gotta hold on
Yeah you gotta hold on
So bless my heart
And bless yours too

I don't know were I'm gonna go
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Well must be somebody up above
Saying come on with me
You got to come on up

You gotta hold on
Yeah you gotta hold on
Yeah you gotta wait
Yeah you gotta wait

Give a Little Bit

Top & Dress - Brandy Melville / Boots - Matiko on Solestruck / Jacket - Nasty Gal

Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
Give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my love to you
There's so much that we need to share
Send a smile and show you care

I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my love to you
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your time to me
See the man with the lonely eyes
Take his hand, you'll be surprised

Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll give a little bit of my love for you
Now's the time that we need to share
So find yourself, we're on our way back home

Going home
Don't you need to feel at home?
Oh yeah, we gotta sing

- Supertramp

Now even though I wear boots year round,

I'm officially happy that boot season has arrived!

And how about these pretty's by Matiko avail on Solestruck?!

I love how they are printed AND have the wrap around buckle to toughen them up a bit.

In an outfit with all black these boots would look killer and really pop!

Digital Bath

Dress - T by Alexander Wang / Coat - LF Stores / Boots - Paris find / Purse - Alexander Wang

you move like I want to
to see like your eyes do
we are downstairs where
no one can see
new life break away
tonight I feel like more
tonight I
you make the water warm
you taste foreign
and I know you can see
the cord break away
cause tonight I feel like more
tonight I feel like more
tonight I feel
feel like more
you breathed
then you stopped
I breathed then dried you off
and tonight
I feel like more
tonight

- Deftones

It was love at first sight when I saw this dress....

The color, the shape and the fabric.

Then I tried it on without the intentions of buying

BUT it fit like a glove and had a sexiness to it without showing skin.

So.... I was sold and bought it!

With something like this for me less is more that is why I went sans jewelry.

Infinity

Skirt - Friend of Mine / Tank - BM / Choker & Rings - Vanessa Mooney / Boots - JC

After all the time
After you
Had you seen me with someone new
Hanging so high for your return
But the stillness is a burn

Had I seen it in your eyes
There'd have been no try after try
Your leaving had no goodbye
Had I just seen one in your eyes

I can't give it up
To someone elses touch
Because I care too much

- The XX

Simple does it...

Just a little black and white but with great silhouettes!

This skirt by Friend of Mine clearly kills all other back skirts out there.

I  look forward to wearing it this fall with chunky sweaters.

Cowboy

All Clothes: Threadsence

I bet you'll hear my whistle blowing when my train rolls in
It goes (whistle) like dust in the wind
Stoned pimp, stoned freak, stoned out of my mind
I once was lost, but now I'm just blind
Palm trees and weeds, scabbed knees and rice
Get a map to the stars, find Heidi Fleiss
And if the price is right I'm gonna make my bid boy
And let Cali-for-ny-aye know why they call me

Cowboy baby
With the top let back and the sunshine shining
Cowboy baby
West coast chilling with the Boone's Wine
I wanna be a Cowboy baby
Riding at night cause I sleep all day
Cowboy baby
I can smell a pig from a mile away

- Kid Rock

Here is my latest and greatest shoot I did for Threadsence!

It was so fun to play dress for Fall event though I can not even start layering yet....

Soon though, just not soon enough!

I love how they styled this shoot, 

a little bit country, a little bit rock n roll gypsy!

If you are already buying fall like I am then this pics could be some cool inspiration on a fresh way to layer!

Take a Picture

Trousers & Body Suit - AA / Boots - Zara

Awake on my airplane 
Awake on my airplane 
My skin is bare 
My skin is theirs 
Awake on my airplane 
Awake on my airplane 
My skin is bare 
My skin is theirs 

I feel like newborn 
And I feel like a newborn 
Awake on my airplane 
Awake on my airplane 
I feel so real 

Could you take my picture 
Cause I won't remember 
Could you take my picture 
Cause I won't remember 
Could you take my picture 
Cause I won't remember 
Could you take my picture 
Cause I won't remember - yeah

- Filter 

So one of things I noticed during my time in Paris,

was the amount of trousers every boutique was selling.

I instantly fell in love with the look of them... I mean I've always been a fan of the Annie Hall style!

How could you not?! Diane Keaton looked effortlessly cool in that movie!

I of course snatched a couple pairs while I was there but I grabbed this pair at American Apparel.

What I like about these ones is that that they are high waisted compared to my others which are more of a standard trouser.

Hope you like and I apologize for my brief moment of hiatus...

BUT 

I'm back now, so get ready!
