monofabulosity

i'm really loving this pseudo-hipster/pseudo-motorcycle look - especially the over-the-forehead headband (a very favorite of my sister and mine), the slouchy leopard print harems, and the leather biker jacket. what i also really appreciate is her infusion very simple, yet chic heels, and a black version of the men's white hanes v-neck. so much look, but without looking messy, and definitively monochromatic, without seeming "goth." it sounds ridiculous to even mention that point, i know, but you'd be surprised as the amount of times a girl wearing all-black is automatically construed as gothic. a fate of mine from a different era, i'm afraid. that, and, being asked if my hair is a wig.

it's not.

xo bellas - go mix some fun pieces today.

things that inspire

i'm definitely in hippie mode right now, all decked out in a fur vest and fringed booties (getting ready to enjoy pitchers of margaritas and other lovely mexican fare...) so i found this starred tiara lovely, and the perfect element of whimsy. this beautiful little minx is the perfect picture of an ethereal angel. i love casual insousiance.


i also love everything she's carrying...fab shoes, a good book, a little treat. she's probably having a good day.

so, on another note, despite however much i fancy myself a writer, there is NO way i can describe the brilliance and the sheer impact of grey gardens within the confines of this blog. kate and i were just completely blown away, and will now remember it as one of our best barb nights ever. drew barrymore is INSANE, the costumes are indulgently perfect, and the story is unlike anything i've ever experienced. we've now put the two original beale documentaries on our netflix queue and are anxiously awaiting their "very long" arrival. SEE it...immediately...run, and read everything you possibly can about these women. we both agreed that it was a sheer crime that it was not made into a motion picture.

there are other things i want to show and discuss, but, alas, margaritas and guacamole await me...
