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

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.

The Waiting

Dress - c/o of Love / Jacket - LF / Boots - JC / Rings - Vanessa Mooney & Vintage

Oh baby dont it feel like heaven right now
Don't it feel like somethin from a dream
Yeah I've never known nothing quite like this
Dont it feel like tonight might never be again
We know better than to try and pretend
Baby no one could have ever told me bout this

The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

- Tom Petty

If you have never been to Tahoe then I must say....

It's a must!

Here is part of my recent vacay up in there.

Aesthetically it is absolutely gorgeous....

Red woods, and the big blue lake!

This was right outside the house where we stayed.

I love the contrast between the rose print dress and the studded jacket

and the scenery is a plus too!

Free Bird

Dress - Arnhem / Hat - UO / Boots - LF / Necklace - Brandy Melville

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now
'Cause there's too many places
I've got to see

But, if I stayed here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird, you'll can not change
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
- Lynyrd Skynyrd


I love it when my bf and I are driving by and find the most perfect location for us to shoot at..
This past weekend we were driving around Santa Cruz and saw this old fence
and I new it would be perfect for this outfit...
As we already know Australian designers are killing it,
So it was no surprise to me that when I was looking at Arnhem's look book I was a fan!
Such fun loving vintage inspired fabrics and silhouettes.
I channeled my inner Penny Lane as soon I stepped into this dress.

Black

Sweater & Bra - Forrest & Bob / Pants - Chick with Guns / Tank - LF / Boots - Dolce Vita

Purse - Alexander Wang / Belt - Vintage / Necklace - Vanessa Mooney

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn

Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore

And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds of what was everything.
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
- Pearl Jam


Please meet my new friend Mr. Wang....
I have been eyeing this purse for awhile but was unable to find it in black.
Until one day when I was waiting for my girlfriend to use the restroom I thought I would just walk by Barney's Co op...
 AND to my surprise this baby was right there waiting for me!
I am not one that is big into purses which you can probably tell from my posts
since I'm usually not carying one.
 BUT now I am happy as a clam and will be toting this one around town...
As for the rest of my outfit...
I loved how rockstar these pants are and keeping the color palette simple really lets them speak for themselves...

Keep Your Head

Dress - Saltwater Gypsy from Chictopia / Boots - JC x Solestruck / Hat - LF

The room's green
It's got writing on the wall
It's got one chair
It's kinda small

Dirty shoes
Running past the door.
And then you go round
Beat yourself up,

Ten minutes to go,
And I wanna go home
Ten minutes to go,
Yeah, I've got to go home
Ten minutes to go,
And the air, it don't feel clear
Everybody disappear, you're
In it on your own

- The Ting Tings

I'm a sucker for anything 90's...

So needless to say when I saw this flower romper in the Chictopia shop I snagged it.

Now normally I would throw on a pair of black boots and call it a day

BUT......!

When I saw these beauties I knew they would be my new go to boot.

The color is so fab and great for summer!

Lisztomania

Sweater - Lamb and Flag / Skirt - LF Stores / Hat - Vintage / Boots - Alexander Wang

Purse - Cambridge Satchel Company / Necklace - Vanessa Mooney

So sentimental, not sentimental no
Romantic not disgusting yet
Darling, I'm down and lonely when with the fortunate only
I've been looking for something else
Do let, do let, do let, jugulate, do let, do let, do

Let's go slowly discouraged
Distant from other interests on your favorite weekend ending
This love's for gentlemen only that's with the fortunate only
No, I gotta be someone else
These days it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes and goes

Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow like a riot, like a riot, oh
I'm not easily offended
It's not hard to let it go from a mess to the masses

- Pheonix

With the weather this past weekend I was so excited to throw on this cute pleated mini skirt....

What I love about this skirt is that the polka dot print is not overly done which makes this print more of a staple print!

My orange cropped sweater plays down the girlyness just enough and finishing the look I chose to throw on my floppy hat and booties!

Happy Friday!

Smell Like Teen Spirit

Flannel - LF / Dress - Zoe tees / Boots - JC

Photographed by: Michelle Paulsen

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey, yay

- Nirvana

What can I say...?

I am a complete sucker for not only 90's music BUT also...

90's fashion.

Yet pairing it with a body con cut out dress and glitter boots does give it a modern twist!

Pure Morning

Dress - LF Stores / Boots - Jeffrey Campbell / Purse - Brandy Melville 

 Ring & Necklace - Vanessa Mooney

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who'll tease is better,
Our thoughts compressed,
Which makes us blessed,
And makes for stormy weather,

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test,
And we will never sever,

Day's dawning, skins crawling
Day's dawning, skins crawling
Day's dawning, skins crawling
- Placebo

I was so happy to see this dress at LF's major sale that is going on right now...
It is absolutely perfect for spring with the side cut outs, high low bottom and sheerness.
I though the Brit boot by JC was an absolute no brainer to play down the girlyness of the dress and
add some grit and toughness to it.
Plus it makes it extremely wearable for during the day.
This fringe purse from Brandy Melville also gives this outfit a summer touch with light color of the suede and fringe.

Don't stray
Oh, say say say

How HOT are these damn boots!

I love love them... the mix of leather and suede gives them a fresh look so they are not just any old black boot. Dolce Vita is killing it now with awesome boot and heel silhouettes. Head over to their facebook page so you can enter to win a pair a shoes, they are giving 1 pair out every weekday in February so don't lag.... get on it!

Bullet With Butterfly Wings

Dress - Threadsence / Jacket - LF Stores /  Boots - JC Tardies / Jewelry - Vintage  

Cuffs - Derek Jaymes

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

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!

Every Day is Exactly the Same

Dress & Beanie - LF / Vest - CityofDolls / Thigh Highs - H&M / Body Jewelry - UO 

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!

Untitled

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!
