In A Lady Who Lingers, Saying She Is Lost

Hey ladies and gents! Hope you had a lovely New Year's Eve/Day. I drunkenly played board games with friends... so, you know - PRETTY WILD. obviously. hah

I've been really immersing myself in things I love this winter. I usually waver (style-wise) somewhere between a hippie and a punk (with twinges of goth, county, and classic prep, I suppose), but I've been basically drowning myself in the 1970s lately.

Music-wise, I cleaned out a record store near my house that was closing with everything from Big Brother and the Holding Company to the Yardbirds to the Dead Weather, so my ears are in a pretty good place lately. This has translated to platforms, boots, and bellbottoms.

I've also been stalking vintage turquoise rings on eBay. I've bought four so far, but two are still in the mail so I'll show you those once they have all arrived.

Here's what I've been feeling lately:

Dirty Hair Halo, lovely as always

Nasty Gal (except Neil Diamond? I've been wearing my Neil Young shirt to death, though)

George and Patti

again

from La Garconne Noire

cheers!

There's Some Things, Baby, I Just Can't Swallow

It's been a while since I've posted some music

One of my favorite songs

No One's Gonna Love You More Than I Do

Revisiting Band of Horses. They are amazing live, and you should really give them a listen.

In other news, also took a gander at the Complex Geometries SS 2010 lookbook. Psyched about a lot of the pieces. {also, somewhat intrigued and simultaneously irked by the scrunched up tights in some of these shots... thoughts?}

Make The New One A Good One!

Peace & Love

Take It Easy

Sometimes you just gotta get a little cheesy.

Now is one of those times.

I Don't Hear Too Much From Him Anymore

Life must be good when you're Jenny Lewis...

{I'm definitely thinking about stealing her hair color this winter... we'll see.}

And It Teases You For Weeks In Its Absence

Today a random nerdy boy came up to me in the library while I was studying to tell me I looked pretty. It was cute/kinda made my day since this week has been so bad.

And sometimes when you're on

You're really fuckin on

And your friends they sing along

And they love you

But the lows are so extreme

That the good seems fuckin' cheap

And it teases you for weeks in its absence

But you'll fight and you'll make it through

You'll fake it if you have to

And you'll show up for work with a smile

You'll be better

And You'll be smarter

And More grown up and a better daughter or son

And a real good friend

And you'll be awake

You'll be alert

You'll be positive though it hurts

And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends

And you'll be a real good listener

You'll be honest

You'll be brave

You'll be handsome and you'll be beautiful

You'll be happy
