The Female Reincarnation of George Harrison

(Vintage Hat- La Lune Vintage/ Tshirt- Urban Outfitters/ Pants- Mudd/ Boots- H&M)

Blogging to you from Ashland, Oregon! I am down here for a couple of weeks, and absolutely love the rogue valley. I've been here many times throughout my life, and it never gets old. The pace down here is relaxing, and the air is refreshing.

I have long had an obsession with The Beatles, and, aside from reading what it's like to be married to the man (Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Meby Patti Boyd), a long time crush on Mr. George Harrison. But George was a bit before my time, so I decided to be the reincarnation of a legendary man was the next best thing. Not that I plan on this being a full time persona. But it was fun for the day.

Lately I've been embracing my crazy curly hair. Not only do I feel it looks rad, but its so easy to do! I literally hop out of the shower, keep a towel over my hair turban style while I get ready for the day (eat, makeup, get dressed, etc.), then tousle my hair with my fingers to make it bigger. No room for uniformity in these curls! I try to avoid brushes and combs when going with this look, as they tend to turn my curls into a big floof, and I'm not tryin' to look all fluffy. Ya feel me?

It only feels natural to wear colors or bold prints when my hair is all in your face like this. I absolutely love this astrology chart tie dye number from urban. I stuck the daisies in my laces as an afterthought, inspired by Marc Jacobs himself. I keep finding random uses for these flowers, and I think its fun to add an unexpected element to an outfit. Any thoughts?

I had this flannel in a giveaway pile, since I wasn't really digging the fit. But then I decided I wanted to jump on the flannel around the waist bandwagon. & an ill fitting flannel with good colors was perfect. I think I'll keep this flannel around awhile. On another note, I got sent this lip pencil to sample. I literally started wearing it everyday for like a week straight. I love the color; and it lasts forever.

I love exploring new looks. Recently I've been inspired by Hip Hop and the 90's. Though my style is always changing, I have noticed one constant. My outfits frequently have a piece of my boho past, sometimes in bigger ways than others. I feel this outfit really gives of a hip-hop gypsy vibe, that I dig.

Basic

 

 Tank- Pacsun

Pants- PLNDR

Shoes- Jeffrey Campbell

Ideally I'd have plenty of time to get ready and choose a creative outfit every day. Realistically I have days where I don't have that luxury for any number of reasons, however most often a result of oversleeping. While I've finally come to a point in my life where oversleeping has become more of a rarity (thanks to four consecutive alarms set on my phone), it is still nice to be able to throw on a few comfortable basics in a rush and head out the door. 

On another note, being a fashion documentary junkie and all, I'm super stoked for Scatter My Ashes At Bergdorf's. I'll be seeing a screening on May 20th, so be sure to check back after that date to hear what I think of the film!

Red Velvet

Dress: La Lune

 This dress is from my little online vintage shop, La Lune. I have hand picked a ton of great items, and slowly but surely they are getting uploaded into the store. Its hard to say what my favorite part of this starting this shop has been so far. I love the hunt and excitement of finding great pieces. And I really enjoy styling them and imagining all the other possible ways they could be styled. So it's probably a toss up between those two.  It's new enough that it hasn't "paid" off in the literal sense (or should I say cents), however to me the payoff is watching it grow and seeing that people are liking what they see. I chose to be simple with the styling since the main reason for these pictures is to show of the dress itself, however I think it would look super rad with combat boots, ripped up tights, and a leather jacket as well. How would you style this?

Recently everyone seems to be reppin' Bart Simpson. And I'm over here in the Ralph t-shirt letting you know that, yes, I do in fact dress myself. I love the humor of this tee, and was ecstatic when I found it while searching through racks and racks of clothing at my local Goodwill. I have a thing for muscle tanks, and I knew right away that this tee would soon become one. The circle sunnies are a must. When you live in a state were sunny days are few, it's almost a crime not to wear shades when you get the chance.

This Lords of Liverpool tank is an absolute staple in my wardrobe. I'm actually a little surprised I haven't posted it sooner, considering I wear it all the time. I got a bit chilly while shooting this outfit (don't let that winter time sunshine fool you) & had to put on my jackets, which actually ended up adding the the look. I recently picked up this denim jacket from the thrift store & chopped the sleeves off. I have plans to add some studs soon, make it a bit edgier. Oh, and in case you're wondering I did get my bangs trimmed the day after this shoot, so I can see again! All the better to type to you with, my dear.

Sweater Weather

Sweater- Vintage

I'm behind on the deadline I'd established to open my etsy shop. But I'm almost there. In fact these pictures were done specifically for the shop. There are some dangers in modeling my own inventory. You see, I tend to get attached. I love the tribal print and the over all comfort of this over sized sweater. And with the chilly weather it's rather tempting. Fortunately I do have some will power, and this sweater is going to be for sale. I love all my inventory but I'd rather share it then keep it to myself. I'll defiantly be posting in here when the shop opens, so stay tuned, and let me know what you think of this sweater!

About A Girl

 Dress- Thrifted

Earring- Papaya

Shoes- Steve Maddens from Ebay

Lipstick- MAC Red

I’m insanely in love with these shoes. The pictures don’t do them much justice, but they’re covered in silver glitter. I snagged them off ebay a couple months ago but haven’t had much chance to wear them until recently. The velour dress was thrifted, and originally a maxi but I decided to cut it into and ultra mini. It got quite a bit of wear during the holiday season. As soon as I went outside to take these pictures I instantly regretted my outfit of choice as it was frikkin cold! I’ve always lived in Washington, but the winters still seem far too cold for me. I’ve been playing around with my clothes trying to find outfits that are both warm and chic. (This was obviously not one of them.) I have to say I do miss shorts season! & if the title of this post had you curious, the overcast day brought to mind Nirvana.

Houses of the Holy

Outfit Details:

Cardigan- Grandmothers Closet

T-shirt- Target 

Leggings- Love Culture

Shot this near the downtown Seattle library the other day, with the fabulous KT ENG. First time I’ve shot with her, but had a great time & hope to do it again. You can check out her blog here.

The cross leggings immediately brought to mind “Houses of the Holy” by Led Zeppelin. They give off real rock n’ roll vibe. And when channeling rock n’ roll I always think it’s best to go with the classics. & speaking of classics, the cardigan was another inheritance from my grandmother, Loretta Mae. I’ve been getting a lot of use out of this cardigan lately; it seems to be a good twist on grunge looks. Which, by the way I have fallen head over heels in love with soft grunge. So expect to see a bit more of it here on the blog.

I’ve been working on a couple gift guides that will be up later this week, so stay tuned!
