(rouge pony)

Have you seen Rouge Pony's blog yet? It makes me wish I had an endless amount of spaces and places to take photos and wear feathers and flowers and play with horses and OH MY GOD I WANT HER PHOTO LIFE. Magical. Totally eyeing one of her feather headpieces on her etsy shop too. Because I'm crazy and feel like I have places to wear it, obvi. I mean I do, right? Right?!

what i wore: (cutout)

This is what looks like your normal, everyday black shirt in the front. BUT WAIT.

It parties in the back! Like a shirt mullet. Plus, My Cities In Dust rabbit's foot necklace makes an appearance.

snake braid!

I learned a sweet new way to braid my hair this weekend, and it's SUPER easy. Check out the tutorial if you wanna learn too (seriously, so easy!):

Snake braid! Not to be confused with SNAKE JUICE.

what i wore: (monochromatic)

What up, internet? I'm on a posting spree these days. I've posted a few days in a row, so get excited like Cubs fans do when the Cubs win 4 games in a row. THIS IS THE YEAR, I CAN FEEL IT! ...Before I go back to sucking and not posting. Anyway, I'm monochromin' it with brown. Yeah yeah, I know what you're thinking. 

And you're sooooo right. But.

i guess NOW i really gotta step up my game a bit...

...because Refinery 29 featured me in their Chicago Edition's "3 Local Style Bloggers with Hair We Want!" article! How super cool.

Though, I've been needing a cut for a while. I love my hair long (and my goal was to basically have mermaid hair when I started growing it out) -- but so it goes -- when you cut it, you wish it was long, but if it's long, you want it short, you know?

Thanks again to Refinery29!

I would never really buy this, but it is cool to look at. I like to think if I did, I'd feel like this:

Which would be totally awesome. (And if you know who this is/what movie this is from, YOU are totally awesome!)



And SPEAKING of harnesses and cages and such, check out the new Zana Bayne collection. So rad.

(PS -- Totally bought a new Zana Bayne item last week! To be continued...)

what i wore: (seeing spots)

I've been totally terrible at posting some things lately, so I feel like I owe this! I don't know why the picture is so crooked and why I posed like I have scoliosis, but you know. I promise I'll post more things soon, for those of you that read this thingy! I also promise to brush my hair more.

I wanna live in a Tim Walker world.

Check out his full portfolio here.

(spineless, sadly)

I'd cut off my own feet if I had to to have these DSquared2 heels. But then I'd be footless and have no purpose for shoes. BUT I'M JUST SAYING I WOULD DO IT.

what i wore: (lollapaloozin')

It's that time of year again and it feels like time has gone by so quickly since the last one! Yeeesh. This time, I only went one day, which was yesterday. I think I am getting festivaled out, you know? I picked up this AllSaints dress when I was in NYC to wear to it to Lolla, because I just fell in love with the color. And AllSaints styles and cuts -- how do they do it? Seriously, everything on the hangers I'm all "what the heck is this supposed to look like ON?" and then I try it on and it's like "Ohhhhh, I get it now." In conclusion, AllSaints just might be my new favorite store.
