Wait a minute baby. . .
Stay with me awhile
Said you'd give me light
But you never told me about the fire

Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home

And he was just like a great dark wing
Within the wings of a storm
I think I had met my match--he was singing
And undoing the laces
Undoing the laces

- Stevie Nicks

I've been eyeing this dress for a bit...

Perfect for music festivals, frolicking on the beach or a sexy dinner date.

Thinking back, thinking of you
Summertime, think it was June
Yeah, think it was June

Laying back, head on the grass
Chewing gum, having some laughs
Yeah, having some laughs

You made me feel like the one
You made me feel like the one, the one
You made me feel like the one
You made me feel like the one, the one
- Stereophonics

Happy Wednesday....

Dress & Jewelry - Brandy Melville

American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come knockin' around my door
Don't wanna see your shadow no more

Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, I said get away
American woman, listen what I say
-Lenny Kravitz

Continued....

Here are a couple more shots from the Brandy Melville shoot.

This show was so fun to shoot, I was running up and down the street with the american flag.

I love that we added the lolita heart sunglasses.... reminds me of the movie True Romance.

Happy Monday!

Dance, Dance, Dance

Clothes - Brandy Melville / Denim Shorts - Mink Pink / Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell

having trouble telling
how i feel
but i can dance, dance, dance
couldn't possibly tell you
how i mean
but i can dance, dance, dance

so when i trip on my feet
look at the beat
the words are
written in the sand
when i'm shaking my hips
look for the swing
the words are
written in the air

- Lykke Li

I'm so excited to share with you all a little sneak peak of a look book

I did with Brandy Melville!

I will post the rest of it when it goes live...

Somebody That I Used to Know

2012-01-17T06:00:00.000-08:00

Jewelry - Vanessa Mooney, Kiki de Montparnasse, Tiffanys, Derek Jaymes & Vintage pieces

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

- Gotye

I feel naked without wearing all my rings and I am constantly on the look for adding to my collection...

I've been lusting over my newest pieces by Vanessa Mooney

(which is the stone ring, medallion necklace & boney bracelet)

Wolf Like Me

Jacket - Nasty Gal / Top - Vintage / Booties - Elizabeth & James

My mind's aflame

We could jet in a stolen car
but I bet we wouldn't get too far
before the transformation takes
and bloodlust tanks and
crave gets slaked

My mind has changed
my body's frame but god I like it
my hearts aflame
my body's strained but god I like it

My mind has changed
my body's frame but god I like it
my hearts aflame
my body's strained but god I like it

- TV on the Radio

Happy Monday...!

Hope you all had a great weekend.

I pretty much lived in this jacket ever since I got it in the mail on friday..!

You're alright

You'll meet an army of me

Army of me

- Bjork

So...

I was cleaning out my closet and came out across this long lost beauty of a dress...

And as you can see the draping of this dress is insane!

I'm thinking I will be needing to wear this out sooner than later and

pairing it with my new leather jacket...

Happy Friday the 13th... Be safe...

What it Takes

2012-01-12T06:00:00.000-08:00

Top - Pac Sun / Shorts - Omen Eye / Boots - JC

There goes my old girlfriend, there's another diamond ring
And, uh, all those late night promises I guess they don't mean a thing
So baby, what's the story? Did you find another man?
Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made?
When you don't look back I guess the feelings start to fade away.
I used to feel your fire
But now it's cold inside
And you're back on the street like you didn't miss a beat, yeah

Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinking you lost everything that was
good in your life to the toss of the dice?
Tell me what it takes to let you go.

- Aerosmith

The weather has been permitting for me to kick it in my short shorts....

And these are one of my fav pairs by the talented little mis Alana of Omen Eye!

She kills it when it comes to re constructing denim shorts!

And of course my staple boot at the moment is my Jeffrey Campbell Tardy....

Blurry

2012-01-11T00:09:00.000-08:00

Jacket - Nasty Gal / Shirt - Thailand / Leather Pants - Helmut Lang

Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell c/o LuLu's

Every thing's so blurry
And everyone's so fake
And everybody's empty
And everything is so messed up
Preoccupied without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl

You could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I'll protect you
From all of the obscene
I wonder what your doing?
Imagine where you are?
There's oceans in between us
But that's not very far

- Puddle of Mudd

These are my go to leather pants.... I absolutely love them!

Of course they cost a pretty penny, but sometimes we need to spend a bit more on the items that will become staple pieces.

I like pairing them with my JC Dresden's because they make the leather a bit more fun and flirty...

Then the ombre shag helps pull the look together!

Blackberry

2012-01-09T11:19:00.000-08:00

Dress - Threadsence / Boots - Dolce Vita / Purse - Shoe Dazzle

Hey Blackberry, How you taste so sweet
Hey Blackberry, tell me what you see
Tell me is it interesting
Hey Blackberry pay some attention to me
Hey Blueberry look at my bumblebee
Hey Blueberry you know he never stings
And he only hums for me

I need some L-O-V-E-N to make me happy
You got to be L-you-see-K-why to git
With a girl like Blackberry

Hey my cherry,coming up my street
Hey my cherry, you make it hard to breath
Look what you've done to me
Hey my cherry, be sure to keep your nose clean

- Black Crowes

Sometimes less is more and that is what I love about this outfit!

I have the not so basic black dress on paired it with a brown motorcycle type boot....

It helps keep the dress casual and easy to wear!

When the Sun Goes Down

2012-01-06T06:00:00.000-08:00

Top - Lamb & Flag / Shorts & Blazer - Vintage / Knee Socks - AA / Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell

I said, who's that girl there?
I wonder what went wrong
So that she had to roam the streets
She doesn't do major credit cards
I doubt she does receipts
It's all not quite legitimate

And what a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes, yeah
That he's got a driving ban
Amongst some other offences

And I've seen him with girls of the night
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
They're all infected but he'll be alright
Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know
I said he's a scumbag, don't you know

- Artic Monkeys

If you haven't noticed yet.... I'm big into socks

(thigh high, knee high & ankle socks... love them all)!

I really like the mix of the sheer polka dot and leopard together,

with a touch of leather...

And my sheer striped burnt orange cropped sweater by Lamb & Flag makes this look also look cozy!

Cardigan, Cami, Skirt, Boots & Necklace - All Threadsence

(If you like what you see click on the item to get it now xo!)

Ain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
Ain't no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated - spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up - what's in store
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl as beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can't break free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me

Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me
- Roxy Music

I had so much fun shooting this feature that is up on Threadsence right now!
The floral cami with leopard skirt is so good together kinda like,
peanut butter & jelly...!
Then the chunky multi colored cardi is perfection to finish of the look.

Oh girl I'm just a jeepster for your love

You slide so good with bones so fair
You've got the universe reclining in your hair
'Cos you're my baby, yes you're my love
Oh girl I'm just a jeepster for your love

- T Rex

I love how fun this outfit is and how you can literally run around town being completely comfortable!

I couldn't believe Urban Outfitters had the pants in my size still and on sale...

They are going to be so fun to play with.

You can mix and match prints, add graphic tees or boxy crop tops!

The world is a vampire, sent to drain

Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames

And what do I get, for my pain?

Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game

Even though I know - I suppose I'll show

All my cool and cold - like old job

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

- Smashing Pumpkins

Happy 2012!!

I hope everyone had an Amazing night ringing in the New Year.... I sure did!

The weather has been so beautiful here in Los Angeles that I find myself skipping the layers.

I love love this dress, the color is great and the placement of the cut outs makes this dress extremely wearable!

Happy New Year!

Boots - A. Wang

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around

Oh, no
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

- Nine Inch Nails

Now I know I usually do day time outfit posts but I've been wanting to showcase night time outfits as well!

So my bf and I found this awesome empty lot with light... we took a couple photos then continued on with our night meeting up with friends.

I love how dark this outfit is, very edgy and the dark lips make it a bit vampy!

If we took a holiday
Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life
It would be, it would be so nice

Everybody spread the word
We're gonna have a celebration
All across the world
In every nation
It's time for the good times
Forget about the bad times, oh yeah
One day to come together
To release the pressure
We need a holiday

- Madonna

I'm so excited to share these pictures with you!

I had a shoot with Threadsence earlier this month and we did a little New Years Eve type shot ...

Liz from Late Afternoon did an amazing job finding these crystal stars and hanging them sporadically.

I will tell you one thing about Liz, that girl is seriously talented when it comes to decorating sets.

Now to the good stuff, my outfit!!

I love love what they dressed me in, very New Years appropriate and easily the belle of the ball!

The layering of the two dresses is so unexpected but it works and makes this outfit look like a million bucks!

If you like what you see then head on over and get some goodies at Threadsence!

Is you

- Mariah Carey

Jacket & Tee - Vintage / Cardigan - Lamb & Flag / Skirt - Pleasure Doing Business / Shoes - JC

You've got your nuclear boots
and your drip dry glove
Ooh when you bite your lip
it's some reaction to love, o-ove, o-ove

(Here she comes again)
When she's dancing
'neath the starry sky
Yeah, I think you'll flip
(Here she comes again)
When she's dancing
'neath the starry sky
(Here she comes again)
I kinda like the way
I like the way she dips

'Cause she's my best friend's girl
Well she's my best friend's girl
and she used to be mine
She's so fine

- The Cars

I love how my bandage skirt is some what unexpected with the super casual pieces I paired it with...

The rocker tee with the mix of prints and texture has a fun vibe, then pairing it with a chunky red boot is almost the cherry to a sundae!

I have my own life... and I am stronger

Than you know

But I carry this feeling

When you walked into my house

That you won't be walking out the door

Still I carry this feeling

When you walked into my house

That you won't be walking out the door

Lovers forever... face to face

My city or mountains

Stay with me

I need you to love me

I need you today

Give to me your leather...

Take from me... my lace

- Stevie Nicks

It was one of those days that called for loose flowy fitting pieces...
I have been waiting to wear the SCF top for some time but I didn't want to just pair it with jeans or shorts I wanted to make it a bit more special...
So I thought this lace black skirt was my key piece, then adding my docs and beanie completed the outfit!

The Unusual Suspect.... My boo

2011-12-17T11:17:00.000-08:00

DPAIN | THE UNUSUAL SUSPECT from CHAPTER on Vimeo.

The unusual suspect: the eighth wonder of the world, a friend, brother and overall rambling man Derek Despain has never been one to settle down. A week of knowing Despain can somewhat be related to the feeling of trying to find a mysteriously lost set of keys within the confines of your own home I know they are here somewhere? Honestly, what could my keys possibly be doing right now? Alright, now, where the fuck are they? Regardless, the past years of acquainting

myself with the guy has been a refreshing experience to say the least. Through a spectrum of highs, lows, different jobs, physical confrontations, women and long nights of boozing, it has always been an seamless idea of calling upon the soft- spoken, yet uniquely dark, humorous vagabond, Despain. As a key family member to the CHAPTER brigade of individuals, we sat down with Despain to criticize his life on a motorcycle and some of his most recent endeavors.

If the world would end today
Then all the dreams we had would all just drift away
You know there's nothing more to say
If the world would end and our love slipped away

I never knew the way that you look at me
Would ever mean so much to me
But in my heart I found the feelings that I've never shown
And now they've got the best of me
- Guns n' Roses

Recently my bf and I had one of our friends and amazing photographer Brandon Harman
shoot us at our place, with amaze friend and make up artist Ashley Kusich.
These are just a couple of my favorites I thought I would share with you all!
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!!

Jacket - LF Stores / Cardigan - Matix / Tank & Corduroys - c/o Lamb & Flag / Boots - Threadsence / Beanie - UO / Belt - Gap

Should I know what we're missing
What's to stop what they're missing
To feel love, to be in love all around

Anyone can hold a promise
Not everyone
Can feel honoured
To be in love, to feel love all around

Turn me on, hear me speak
Let me be what I need
You're enough for me

- Smashing Pumpkins

I have been so into corduroy lately,

I'm guessing the weather has something to do with it...

And these ones by Lamb & Flag are the cats meow!

I love that they are super tight and the cropped leg makes it more modern.

Showing off the ankle is where it's at, keeps outfits fun and fresh!

Then since it's freaking cold out I had to layer on top so I went with my Aztec printed cardi

and topped it off with my military inspired jacket!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
Takes through the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?

All your life you've never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you Heaven?
Will you ever win?
- Fleetwood Mac

I found this sheer flower printed dress this past weekend and have been dying to wear it....
I love the muted colors and how it can fall off the shoulder, so delicate like.
BUT because it's delicate I added shearling jacket, chunky moto boots & necklaces!
The high bun lets you see all the details...
Hope you are all having a great week!

Gotta leave town

Girl you know I enjoyed it

Ain't gonna hang around till there's nobody dancing
I don't wanna hold hands and talk about our little plans, alright!

Cold hard bitch
Just a kiss on the lips
And I was on my knees
I'm waiting, give me
Cold hard bitch
She was shakin' her hips
That's all that I need

- Jet

So this outfit is my go to outfit for almost anything I do...

Whether it be going to a casting, running errands or meeting up with friends...

I love love high waisted pants especially when paired with a casual tee and a chunky boot or heel.

As for this slashed back cardi it has been the perfect addition to my closet, it seriously goes with everything!

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think they're O.K.
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead
But they can't see the light, that's right
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right, 'cause we are

Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

- Madonna

I am so excited to showcase my photo shoot I did with Just Fab last month!

It was one of the funnest shoots I have ever been a part of.

We were dressed by AHHHMAZING celeb stylist and all around genius Jessica Paster.

She had us in cocktail dresses that we usually only DREAM of...

then topped them off with her own shoe collection she did for shoe website Just Fab.

The thigh high boot Angelina and peep toe heel Cassiel were my two favorites!

If you like what you see then get on over to Just Fab and get yours!

Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy

Cause summers here and the time is right for fighting in the street, boy

But what can a poor boy do

Except to sing for a rock n roll band

Cause in sleepy london town

There's just no place for a street fighting man

Hey! think the time is right for a palace revolution

But where I live the game to play is compromise solution

Well, then what can a poor boy do

Except to sing for a rock n roll band

Cause in sleepy london town

There's no place for a street fighting man

- Rolling Stones

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!

I went to the flea mkt yesterday and found some amazing additions for the new place,

I can't wait to get it all together so I can post photos for you to all see....

This dress I am wearing is one of my favorites to throw on, but It was a bot colder so I knew I had to add some layers. I went for the vintage tee and the shearling vest to complete the look!

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

These are the last of our road trip photos...

Sweater - LF / Thermal - City of Dolls / Pants - UO / Boots - Jeffrey Campbell

Educated in a small town
Taught to fear Jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another born romantic that's me

But I've seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an L.A. doll and brought her to this small town
Now she's small town just like me

No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be
- John Mellencamp

Now, I thought I was from a small town but I was wrong when Derek
took me to the part of Utah where his grandparents live!
It is so cute and everyone knows each other kinda like a Mayberry town!
Now it was freeezing so if my nose looks likes Rudolph the reindeer, thats why....
I have been lusting over these Tripp pants since I saw them at Urban Outfitters.
Of course they didn't have my size at first so I was surprised when i found them.
Pairing them with my JC shoes gives them the old school punk feel.

Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see

Utah! Here is our next stop on our road trip.... it was visually beautiful!

So much land and earth all around you.

Living LA, I forget about all this beauty at times so it as nice to re visit....

I am wearing a romper by one of my favorite lines Again.

The designer Amber is brilliant and I love her creations, I'm lucky to own a few of her pieces!

First off!!!

I hope everyone had an Amazing Holiday weekend celebrating Thanksgiving!

My bf Derek and I took ourselves on a little road trip to see both of our families.

First stop - Arizona!

These were taken in Quartzsite, AZ

Quartzsite is an awesome place where you will find your self roaming for hours looking at all kinda of beautiful stones, semi precious gems and collectibles!

I knew it was going to be warm in AZ so I wore my shorts for the trip and for some reason I found it fitting to pair with a denim top as well!

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now

Said woman take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said sugar make it slow
And we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
Patience, patience, patience
Ooh, oh, yeah

We are still putting the finishing touches on our new apt

We scored the cow skull at the rose bowl flea mkt and got it for a steal!

Only Happy When it Rains

Sweater Cape - H&M / Dress - LF / Boots - Dr Martins

I'm only happy when it rains

I feel good when things are going wrong
I only listen to the sad, sad songs
I'm only happy when it rains

I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn't accidentally tell you that
I'm only happy when it rains
You'll get the message by the time I'm through
When I complain about me and you
I'm only happy when it rains

- Garbage

When it rains it pours, that is exactly how the weather was all day yesterday.

I'm really loving my Dr Martins at the moment especially on days like this...

They are the perfect shoe to toughen up even the sweetest of dresses like mine above!

Well, it's been ten years and maybe more since I first set eyes on you.
The best years of my life gone by, here I am alone and blue.
Some people cry and some people die by the wicked ways of love;
But I'll just keep on rollin' along with the grace of the Lord above.

People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat,
I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at.
One thing I do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do,
It's the way you call me by another guy's name when I try to make love to you.
I try to make love but it ain't no use.
Give it to me
Give it
- Led Zeppelin

I love love this take on a Varsity type sweater...
The rips and off the shoulder update the sweater and make it a must have!
I wanted to pair it with a chunky 70's platform to give it a more dazed and confused vibe.... to get a similar shoe go here.
The shag jacket & denim cut offs are the perfect way to finish off this look!

Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City's the place where they said
"Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side"

Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo, you should've seen 'em go go go
They said, "Hey sugar, take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
- Lou Reed

Since animal print is still on the rage right now especially in maxi skirts,
this one by Mink Pink is my favorite from LuLu's!
I love it because it is so wearable, it sits high on waist, has pockets and the material is perfect for Fall!
The shaggy crop top and Wang boots are the perfect pieces to finish off the look!
Happy Tuesday!

Singing about the good things and the sun that lights the day.

I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way.

It's the emptiness that follows you down

It's the ache inside when it all burns out

It's poisonous, it muscles it aches

it's the emptiness that's all you have left

Too terrified of you frozen breath

It's a bitter mouth, it's buttered and knifed

It's the awful truth you fight for your life

It might as well, it might as well hurt

It might as well, it might as well

Yesterday was my Birthday and I was spoiled with presents!

I was so lucky to receive all the goodies I had my eyes on and more....

As long as you're inside my blue veins

A big hard sun

Beating on the big people

In a big hard world

This time I have really led myself astray

Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like i should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here no there

I wear this crown of shit,
Upon my liar's chair,
Full of broken thoughts,
I cannot repair.
Beneath the stains of time,
The feelings disappear.
You are someone else
I am still right here.

What have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know,
Goes away in the end.
And you could have it all,
My empire of dirt.
I will make you hurt....

There is such a homey cozy feeling when you are in the mountains...
It makes you dress warmer.
We found this location by driving thru the mountains and letting ourselves
get lost.... It was the perfect scenery for this outfit!

I have been waiting to wear this dress and I don't know why it took me so long because now I'm already wanting to wear again!

It was one of those magical finds I found at LF.

I wore it to a wedding this past weekend up north in a little town called Occidental.

It was beyond beautiful so I was excited to shoot in a location like this.

It was fun that the wedding was low key and outside, it gave me a reason to pair this delicate dress with my chunky JC Tardies (which I will be living in all fall)!

It was a super gloomy day,

so i went with very muted darker colors for this outfit.

I like layering jackets with one another because I feel it gives the outfit more of a warm fall look.

Maxi dresses are just as great for Fall as they are for summer so I was very happy to receive this awesome olive colored maxi from Shoppalu....

Don't let me out of our sight

So don't let me have any rights

I was a bit inspired by Empire Record or one of the Clueless girls gone slightly grunge...

I LOVE jumpers like these because they are fun to funk up.

They are also on of those pieces that you can style about a dozen ways

and lets be honest those are the pieces we all want in our closet!

As soon as it actually gets cold here in LA, I'm going to pair it with tights and a sweater.

Promises, swear the sky

The bittersweet between my teeth

Trying to find the in between

Fall back in love eventually

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

- Naked and Famous

This sheer dress was one of my FAVE scores from the sale that LF had awhile back...

It's just so dreamy, the way it moves when you walk, it makes you feel special.

I like how you can see the color of the dress where the holes are...

And of course my studded Sam Edelman's seemed like a match made in heaven!

Give me a reason to be beautiful
So sick in his body, so sick in his soul

Oh, and everything I am will be bought an sold
Oh, and everything I am will turn hard and cold
And they say in the end
You'll get bitter just like them
And they steal your heart away
When the fire goes out you better learn to fake
It's better to rise than fade away...
-Hole

There is finally a slight chill in the air...
So I was able to wear something a bit more cozy like this sweater dress!
I like wearing the muted colors with one pop of color like the socks,
it makes the color palette of the outfit look more rich.

It was so hot so we spent most of our time in the pool gazing out at the picture perfect scenery....
Hope you are all having a good 3 day weekend!

All I Wanna Do

2011-09-01T06:00:00.000-07:00

On Jen...

A couple pieces by Free People and the rest un known

The good people of the world

Are washing their cars on their lunch break

Hosing and scrubbing as best as they can in skirts in suits

They drive their shiny Datsun's and Buick's

Back to the phone company, the record store too

Well they're nothing like Billy and me

'Cause all I wanna do is have some fun

I got a feeling I'm not the only one

All I wanna do is have some fun

I got a feeling I'm not the only one

- Sheryl Crow

This is a photo shoot I did awhile back in San Francisco

Shot by Jenna Alcala

It was so up my alley because we were able to shoot in a cool vintage shop that was full of old records,

books and of course cool clothes!

Gold Dust Woman

2011-08-18T06:00:00.000-07:00

On Jen...

Dress - c/o The Scarlett Room / Shoe - JC / Headband - DIY

Rock on, gold dust woman

Take your silver spoon, dig your grave

Heartless challenge

Pick your path and I'll pray

Wake up in the mornin'

See your sunrise, loves go down

Lousy lovers pick their prey

But they never cry out loud, cry out

Ooh, did she make you cry, make you break down

Shatter your illusions of love?

And is it over now, do you know how?

Pick up the pieces and go home

- Fleetwood Mac

I love this dress!

I love that it is white and flowy, it makes me feel very summer of love!

Every girl should own a pretty white dress like this.....

can't stand the pain when it's all the same to you, my friend

- Aerosmith

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

I did!!

Especially by starting it off by hitting up the LF sale... man oh man it is hard to control myself in there at times...

I have been wanting a bright color jean so I was stoked to grab some here, I plan on busting them out this fall/winter too with some chunky knits.

They will brighten up any gloomy day =)

On Jen...

Top - Kill City / Skirt - c/o The Scarlett Room / Shoes - JC / Belt - Vintage

Sometimes I feel like

My life's a catastrophe

Can't understand why

It seems like it has to be

Sometimes I feel like

It's all opened up for me

Nothing's impossible

I am inconquerable

No one can make you

Do what they want to

You know you're stronger

Than lies that they tell you

- Guns n Roses

I was so excited opening a package and receiving this awesome skirt from The Scarlett Room.

I love the sheer and lace trending that is going on right now,

but this skirt is extra special because of the high slit add's the perfect finish to it....

Throwing on a tee helps turns this outfit into a casual look!

Far Behind

2011-08-10T06:00:00.000-07:00

On Jen...

Dress - H&M / Vest - DIY / Shoes - Chloe Sevigny for OS / Belt - Vintage

Now maybe

I didn't mean to treat you bad

But I did anyway

Now maybe

Some would say your life was sad

But you lived it anyway

And so maybe

Your friends they stand around

They watch you crumble

As you fall onto the ground

- Candlebox

I fell in LOOOOVE with these shoes as soon as I saw them!

And the best part is... they are extremely comfortable.

They have a bit of a punk vibe to them with all the straps....

Kinda like a Courtney Love thing going on with them.

To add to the grunge affect I added the flannel that I cut up.

I cut off the sleeves and made it more into a crop top!

Hope yo are all having a good week!

Necklace - One Grey Day

Take my hand don't be afraid
I'm gonna prove every word I say
I'm advertising love for free
So you can place your ad with me

Boys come along a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but ten cent lovin'
Hey little thing let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now
- Black Crowes

I have been loving maxi skirts for awhile now....
I love just being able to throw it on then building from there, it's fun to learn and see what may or may not work.
But I like to think there are no rules and if I like it then I'm happy!
It was an errand day so I wanted to be somewhat comfortable, I opted for a fitted tank, clogs and I was out the door!

We Walk

2011-07-29T16:59:00.000-07:00

On Jen...

Dress - Gifted from Thread Case / Shoes - JC for LF / Hair Clip - F 21

You never alter

You're always you

Everything's breaking

But I don't care

Smash the rest up

Burn it down

Put us in the corner 'cus we're into ideas

Take these edges

They're inside out

No one will notice

They're looking elsewhere

We call it off

We got the choice if it all goes wrong

We walk, we walk....

- Ting Tings

Happy Friday!

I hope you all had a good week and are ready to let loose this weekend....

Now one of my favorite things is getting packages in the mail,

So when I received a package from Thread Case I was super excited and even happier when I saw this dress!

I love it! It has a 70's DVF vintage feel to it.... very Studio 54!

This will be one of my go to dresses for those hot summer nights where you have late dinners and drinks.....
