Little Beauty.

I saw this picture and my heart literally dropped.

When I am older I want to be like this with my daughter, dressing up and looking pretty all day.

Everything about this shot is lovely, from the way their dresses are both sheer exposing their silhouette, to the modernize 70's theme.

Birthday Party.

My birthday party took place at Lodge, in Williamsburg.

I highly recommend if you want a laid back atmosphere, & want to feel like you're in a wood cabin in Aspen.

I ended up having a really great time, besides the fact that my feet were ripped to shreds.

After we went back to J and R's apartment, with my hometown friends + my nyc friends who all came to celebrate my silly little day.

It was exactly what I wanted in the end, had most my best there, drank cider ale (my favorite), met new people, and looked pretty.

Driggs.

Last friday a few of the prettys and I ventured to BK to start my birthday weekend.

First of all, I hate my birthday.

Don't ask why, I just do.

So we decided to kick it off right,

& what else would fashion students do except shop at the best vintage stores?

Ended up getting a red suede jacket and boyfriend tweed pants for 20 bucks. Scoreee.

My inspiration this month whether

it be fashion or music, is a "dressed up bluegrass" influence.

blue·grass (blgrs)

n. A type of folk music that originated in the southern United States, typically played on banjos and guitars and characterized by rapid tempos and jazzlike improvisation.

The neutral hues with a hint of a muted deep color like ruby,mustard, or dark turquoise is on my brain all the time, creating outfits in my head.

My constant muses include MK and Erin who have the most beautiful long wavy hair, which always makes them just plain cool looking.

& the art + vintage photograph add to my inspiration-

the feel for both of them is relaxed and put together -

which is precisely my style this month.

Hello Lovah.

Why aren't these on my feet?

America

"Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together."

"I've got some real estate here in my bag."

So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies

And we walked off to look for America

"Kathy," I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh

"Michigan seems like a dream to me now"

It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw

I've gone to look for America

Laughing on the bus

Playing games with the faces

She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy

I said "Be careful his bowtie is really a camera"

"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat"

"We smoked the last one an hour ago"

So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine

And the moon rose over an open field

"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping

I'm empty and aching and I don't know why

Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike

They've all gone to look for America

All gone to look for America

All gone to look for America

Hay Ride

This weekend I took my Dallas born

and raised roommate and best friend, C, to my little New England town.

We literally did everything stereotypical to do in a foliage clad state including:

• Went apple picking
• Wore flannels
• Went to the lake
• Drank imported beer
• Giggled

I would say it was close to perfect.
