The Needle and the Damage Done

Dress - American Gold / Boots - JC / Hat - Vintage / Jewelry - Vintage & Vanessa Mooney

I caught you knockin'
at my cellar door
I love you, baby,
can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

I hit the city and
I lost my band
I watched the needle
take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.

- Neil Young

I have been waiting for the perfect time to wear this amazing dress...

and Valentines Day was it!! 

I loved it so much that I wanted to shoot it and share it with you all.

I thought this scenery was as perfect as it gets, so beautiful but simple so the dress stands out.

Hope every one is enjoying their 3 day weekend!

I'm off to the desert to shoot Threadsence's newest look book, can't wait to share the photo's with you!

Video Games

Dress - Brandy Melville / Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell

I say you the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on

Go play a video game

It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do

- Lana Del Ray

These are a couple more shots from the shoot I did with Brandy Melville and...

this was by far my favorite little dress!

 It's cute BUT not to cutesy, the floral print against the black it gives it a 90's vibe that I LOVE... 

and these Jeffrey Campbell's are perfection paired with this dress!

Have a great weekend, I have great posts for next week!

Good Times Bad Times

Styled & Photographed by - Wild at Heart
(all clothes vintage)

In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man,
Now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all those things the best I can.
No matter how I try, I find my way into the same old jam.

Good Times, Bad Times, you know I had my share;
When my woman left home for a brown eyed man,
Well, I still don't seem to care. 
- Led Zeppelin


Here are a couple more shots that I was talking about last friday...
BUT, still more to come...
If you like the clothing then head over to Wild at Heart to see the rest of amazing vintage she has for sale...

oh baby don't make me lie

cause baby you're not around
now that you're not around

- Brian Jones Massacre

Last week Kelley from Wild at Heart and I ran around her neighborhood taking photos...

Bloodstream

Jumpsuit - Notion of Legacy / Necklace - One Grey Day & Brandy Melville

Wake up look me in the eyes again
I need to feel your hand upon my face
Words can relay nice
They can cut you open
And the silence surrounds you
and hunts you
I think I might’ve inhale you
I could feel you behind my eyes
You gotten into my bloodstream
I could feel you floating in me 

- Stateless

I have been holding onto this jumpsuit for quite sometime now...

It was one of my exciting find when I was in Australia.

It's silk and drapes the body to perfection, super sexy without even trying....

Parallel Universe

Dress - Naven

Deep inside of a parallel universe
It's getting harder and harder
To tell what came first

Under water where thoughts can breathe easily
Far away you were made in the sea 
Just like me

Christ I'm a sidewinder I'm a 
California king
I swear it's everywhere 
It's everything

- Red Hot Chili Peppers

This photo is from one of the Naven shoots I did last year

 and I never remembered to post it....

I love the way the sun is reflecting on my hair it seems magical in a way to me.

Rony Alwin was the awesome photog from this shoot, he is pretty awesome if I must say so, you should check out his work.

And one day when I get the rest of these pics I will post them!

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Psychotic Girl

Jacket - Vintage / Tank & Necklace - Brandy Melville / Shorts - UO / Boots - Givenchy

I heard you threw your man around
Pick him up just to let him down
It's a shame, baby, but I always knew
Just the way you're gonna do, oh

Oh no
Just a psychotic girl
And I won't get lost in your world

Friday night in the party lights
You were acting like everything was alright
Till later on with no one around
Had me fighting for air, laying on the ground, oh no
- The Black Keys


Happy Friday... Have an Amazing weekend!

Be the One

Top - UO / Skirt - Naven / Boots - Christian Louboutin

You say it's not what you do,
It's what you're thinking of
Well I think its just an excuse,
It's what you put across

'Cos I don't wanna be the one,
Only overjoyed
I don't wanna be the one,
Making all the noise
Yeah, I don't wanna be the one

So make sure you're thinking it through,
You've let me down again
Offer me something I know you really meant
- The Ting Tings


Happy Humpday!

Shadow Play

Tank & Shorts - Vintage / Purse - Cambridge Satchel / Bracelets - Brandy Melville

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,

To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you,

I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you,

In a room with a window in the corner I found truth.

- Joy Division

I was so excited to finally receive my much awaited new purse from Cambridge!

I first spotted this beautiful bag on my friend Megan who had it in a daring fluorescent pink.

I loved how it looks so classic and structured!

Oh and the best part... you can get something embossed if you like.

I got my initials....

Sara

Dress - Mink Pink c/o Lulu's / Shoes - JC

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.

Dakota

Sweater - Vintage / Sheer Blouse - Again / Slip - H&M / Boots - Alexander Wang  

Necklace - Vanessa Mooney

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....

American Woman

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...
