Fashion First

Regretfully, I have been forced to abandon all skirts, dresses or any non-leg baring attire. The weather has become so cold, that even the thickest winter tights won't keep me the slightest bit warm.  Ironically, after wearing jeans my whole life,  I have wanted nothing more than to wear skirts and dresses every single day. My style as of late has become so practical, but somehow i'm coping. So my formulaic winter fashion is something like the picture below:

Sorry for the Headless pictures lately!

Shirt- unknown

Tank- Old Navy

Jeans- Macys

Shoes- Marc by Marc Jacobs

Cowl- Forever 21

I love layering scarves, sweaters and different colors, but I am desperately waiting for warmer weather to roll around! Today, my friends and I spent our afternoon browsing some new summer styles...rompers and tank dresses... here I come! [after I unthaw of course!] The flats are my newest addition and I am in LOVE! Marc Jacobs has such a knack for creating the perfect shoe, the perfect silhouette....the perfect everything for my size,style, and addiction. I love the simple yet elegant shape of them, and love how they are accented with zippers and stars, yet don't look the least bit cluttered. 

Giving patience the boot...literally

I did it. I put down the money to buy the pair of boots that I have been dreaming about for months and months. They are fantastic! They are a dreamy boho wonder. Perfect with dresses...or skirts... or jeans *sigh*

Oh, it is love... as far as new boots go

So I went against my original plan to buy vintage, and bought a new pair of WOMENS frye campus boots. This detail is important. Tons of people just took small mens vintage pairs of boots and sold them for women. No biggie, I guess... but if I was going to pay good money for a pair of boots, I decided that a pair of brand new ones for twenty bucks more was worth the lack of man sweat embedded in them.

Mission Guit-possible

So, I am finally pursuing my wildest rockstar dreams. I've finally picked up the weight of learning guitar, and carefully placed it on my scrawny shoulders. I remember, as a child dreaming of being in a band like Ac/Dc or Def Leppard when most other kids dreamed of being the next Britney Spears. Well, that was until I realized that I was not a fifty year old man. . . Nor did I posses the power to pick up and wield the axe.

Her name is Carmen

However, I am learning. I may not be able to play a sold out stadium yet...or ever for that matter, but I am positive that life will go on. Sometimes friends and family are audience enough. It is the most amazing feeling to create something as unique and beautiful as a simple sound. I might just be addicted to this little hobby of mine, and believe me

I don't mind!

Mid-Week Obsession

Okay, world. I am smitten.. with a band. It's been quite a long bit since I have fallen completely head over heels with a new sound, but Phoenix has been stuck on repeat this week. The band hails from france, and has me completely captivated from their catchy lyrics, right down to their guitar driven sound. Check them out here ....



I am so in love!
