Mod, Grunge, and Monochrome

When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel so bad.

Happy Sunday

Vogue Italia March 2008

I don't know whether it's the result of this sunny weather we've been having or the onslaught of editorials featuring all things bleached, floral, and sheer, but I've been feeling rather light lately. People are always shocked to find out that I love ruffles, lace, and florals just as much as my monochrome black and chains, but I've been proving it for the last week or so. Well, for the most part. My Misfits t-shirt still makes regular appearances. And I do wish the rain clouds would come back.

I like this girl

because a) she shares my affinity for extremely oversized tops, b) those Zara snakeskin pants are to die for, and c) she's just cute. Her name is Ellen, and you should mosey on over to her blog when you get the chance.

Dear Mulleavy Sisters,

We are now soulmates. May I have your Studio Ghibli plush? My one little Totoro gets awfully lonely sitting all by his lonesome on my bed.

Russh May/June 2009

I've decided that hair can make or break an outfit for me, and this girl's hair could make any outfit.

You can be my man.

Sing me to sleep, Mick.

Style Rookie Strikes Again

Tavi just got back from LA, where she was invited to hang with the Mulleavy sisters. Read about her trip here. I don't even really like Rodarte that much, but the picture she snapped of their bookshelf is glorious and makes me like them a little bit more.

In other news, my room is still a complete disaster from moving, which makes it quite impossible for me to accomplish anything. But instead of cleaning, I've spent my days away from Nashville antiquing with my mom, ordering unitards from American Apparel, and playing with kittens. I also created a Twitter. Do I even want a Twitter? No, but it kept me from cleaning my room. Though in my defense, I have been feeling a little under the weather lately. Hopefully I'll find my motivation again soon because my To-Do list is becoming rather lengthy.

I'm definitely not going to find it in the next hour, though. Gossip Girl season finale starts in five minutes.

Daul

I don't care what color her hair is... Daul Kim is fabulous. She is the master of androgyny, and I'm so very glad that she's starting to pop up more.

Summer Projects

Taking Clothing Construction 1 at O'More in the fall. Must brush up on my sewing skills. Eheu.

Home

I'm done, I'm home, I'm tired, and for a reason unbeknownst to be, all I want to listen to is the music from Super Mario 64. Thank God for YouTube.
