Little fish



American Apparel dress and my stepmom's wicker hat.
Hi everybody! I hope your weekend was amazing. I went out on my Dad's boat with my family and basked in the sun. Now I feel SUNFED :) Although I didn't get many fashion related shots, I took lots of the beautiful world around me. I've inlcuded some of them below. I wore this hooded, mini dress from AA to make sure to get lots of sun on my legs. I will just say here and now.... Respect to American Apparel. They have become such a staple in all of our closets and go-to place for anyone with a little cash in their pocket.

Vintage Feel < Vintage Real

 


Le Chateau dress, American Eagle shirt, The Gap shoes

You would never guess this this dress is from Le Chateau! I feel like its totally not their style and never expected to find this in there. The material is 80% rame, which reminds me alot of hemp, so it gives the dress a real hippy feel. The blue shirt I searched for in the entire mall until I found the pefect blue tone at American Eagle. I love it because you can throw it over anything and look nicer than wearing a sweater, but still keep warm. I hope everybody is having a great weekend! I am going on the lake today fishing and swimming. I'll see what kind of amazing outfit I can make for that and a post will follow. Peace!

Marilyn! Marilyn! Marilyn!






So I was recently checking out photos of Marilyn for inspiration, when I realized I wasn't the only one doing so. Look at these styles, which are currently trending! Marilyn was more than just a fashion icon or an international sex symbol, she left her imprint in the heart of our culture, she was a true vintage beauty. You'll see photos of myself with this unconventionally curvey model's influence in an upcoming post.

Spider Lashes



Fake eyelashes and an Exhiliration dress.

Words are flowing out like
Endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
Are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me.

Jai Guru Deva. Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light, which
Dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe.
Thoughts meander like a
Restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.

Jai Guru Deva. Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter, shades of life
Are ringing through my opened ears
Inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love, which
Shines around me like a million suns,
It calls me on and on across the universe

Jai Guru Deva.
Jai Guru Deva.
Jai Guru Deva.
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

More Pink Please


Paired w H&M shorts and Clarks Boots

I know I just featured pink chiffon here yesterday, but then I found this to-good-for-words skirt in a market and was too excited to wait to wear it. It's made in India and I love how they've layered the bottom so that I can really have fun with this skirt and make a million different outfits. The pigment in the colour is seriously amazing. If you've ever heard about it, during the Holi festival (a.k.a. the festival of colours), in India the people paint the elephants with the brightest colours possible. I feel like I need to wear this skirt there. Bucket listed!

Bubblegum Barbie



Dynamite top, Urban Behaviour high waisted shorts, TOMS in silver (they are here, though difficult to see)
Trying on Steve Maddens

Trying on Betsy Johnsons
I found this perfectly toned pink chiffon blouse at Dynamite. It was quite inexpensive, only about $30, but I really love some of its details. I love that it's collarless and hangs lower in the back than in the front. The bottons down the front also provide you with total versatilty. Not to mention that every time I wear it I feel like Barbie, the colour is just so perfect!
