come sail away

sorry for taking a few days off, but the truth is, i kinda just didn't want to have to blog. maybe it was the long holiday weekend or the fact that i just didn't feel any need. meh. but whatever the case, i am back at it today and ready now to obsess and gush about this sailor-like look so pretty and blue. to not only myself, but to all of you, too. photo: tommy ton

oh my cord

of course now that it's summer-y hot all i want to be wearing is a big ol' brown corduroy jacket. criminy.  photo: less filth

yes to the dress

that's just what i would say to own this pretty little dress, okay? 'cause - as i think it has been said over and over again - i love me a black and brown color combo in any and all of my wardrobe. and her addition of simple black ankle boots with her top bun, earrings and red lip(s) too? i mean, well, it's just beyond adorable, stylish and so cute. photo/pic: instagram

open and say, "gah."

i love absolutely every single little thing about this pic. especially that goes-with-everything black turtleneck. i'm even guessing those are mom jeans which i understand and get totally, perfectly. hey. if lorde can wear them - and look that good to perform in them - why can't i try and do the same dang thing too, know what i'm sayin'?! photo/pic: lisa says gah

this is maje

so, um ... just look at that super stylin' outfit up there - all chic and stuff. makes me want to buy (more than) enough of it to store and save so i can wear some version of it every single day. from the contrasting furry jacket collar to the school girl plaid skirt and sock-like boots - it's the quintessential wardrobe staple, dudettes and dudes ...  photo: vogue dot com

silkin' it

yep, she's just silkin' it for all it's worth in that little striped jumpsuit oh so very chic and cute. the only thing that always come up - at least for me - is how in the world you ever comfortably go potty. i know it's now a new worry, it's just, my bladder is teeny tiny. but maybe i'd hold it if i looked this sweet. oh. and the fresh white shoes? duuude.  photo: pinterest

let me be clear

i want those earrings up in here and right up on my ears. and i love the fact that they are clear and all lucite-y. makes me all kinds of embarrassingly giddy. especially knowing i can get that way so quickly when we're talking about something as simple as a few pieces of jewelry and accessories. but gosh you can't blame me -- they ARE pretty.  photo: w magazine

young & unafraid

okay. so i may be listening to 'young & unafraid' right now by the moth & the flame, but i think it kind of perfectly depicts everything going on in this particular outfit. now i probably wouldn't wear the scrunched down pair of pants with it, but somehow it works with the complete image. but i will admit that i'd wear that one shouldered silver-y dress and those purple-y platform boots up to there. and don't even get me started on her waisted purse and short hair. photo: pinterest

pop it like it's hot

my current daily routine has made me forget how much i like makeup. hear me out. my signature eye color and look used to be a mac shade oh so purple-y. we're talkin' compliments on the daily. but now if i wear anything at all, it's a bit of concealer ... yawn. so maybe i should go back to a pop of eye color + hue like this gold and blue. photo: makeup for life

metallicahhh

by now, i think we all know that if it's a shoe that's made in silver or gold, i'm gonna want it on my feet and toes. and there is no exception here, my dears, with this pair all metallic, we clear? and it's clog-y, but for modern day, which makes me want to proclaim - why oh why can't i afford you, you beyond beautiful metallicahhh shoe!!! pic: rachel comey

vogue vogue vogue

is it just me or does she not look exactly like she is vogue-ing in all her pretty little hand modeling and posing? and the fact that she's doing it all in silver and gold metallics makes it all the better for me ... don't you agree? it also makes me think now i gotta go out, asap, and get me some silver gloves. to have on hand for anything, pretty much.  photo: pinimg

the fabric of our lives

hedi slimane - you did it AGAIN! so much so, that i had to do a second post to show off your pure genius. look at those fabrics up there - just look at 'em so unique, shiny, sequin-y and rare. i can't choose a favorite one - i just keep going back and forth with all of them! but my current fave? the bottom left silver + black lightning bolts, okay? okay!!  photos: vogue 

the glitterati

i wanna be one of those girls that wears gold glitter shadow up to there - but in the daytime too - 'cause i'm just that freakin' cool. but in all reality, most days i'm usually in no makeup at all, except for a little dab of concealer, y'all. and a baby doll pink cheek with some red lipstick a-staining. but a makeup-loving girl can dream, can't she???  photo: behance

reflektor

i see absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to wear these boots on a 24/7 basis. i couldn't be more serious. having them shine and reflect with my every little step. in fact, i don't think i've ever wanted a pair of shoes more in my life, which is also why I'm ultimately filled with despair and strife 'cause i can't afford these shiny happy pretties.  pic: vogue

slick-a slim slimane-y

oh hedi slimane, this saint laurent collection is my gosh darn everything. i want every piece of sequin and fringe to wear on, like, a daily basis. but i know that will never happen, see, not with my current bank account being so itty bitty. but hey, a girl can dream. i mean, in your beyond beautiful sequin-y stars and galaxies, can't she? photos/pics: vogue dot com

big red

one of my biggest sadnesses comes from the fact that i can't have tresses colored like that. trust me, i've tried in the past. (i have run lola run to thank for that.) i love the fiery red on everyone else's head. but mine? no thanks. it washes out quicker than quick and that's why i'm depressed a bit 'cause i'd love to have a name like 'big red.' just sayin'.  pic: pinimg

the skin i'm in

i love a monochromatic outfit that feels all animalistic. oh + i love that her hair matches w the same tones. photo: duality.

jim and the holograms

if i saw a man walking down the street in this utter fabulousness, i'd IMMEDIATELY marry him. picture: plastik fantastik

silver + gold

yep. still on the whole wanting-a-suit-thing. especially if it all golden-y or silver-y. i mean just look at those pictured things. i mean ... seriously. how cool would that be to wear a monochrome suit all golden-y to your own wedding?!? with a big ol' silver or spiky crown. but i digress. who am i kidding? i'm never gonna wear a wedding dress.  photo: souterrain

give 'em the suit

guys, i want a suit. shoot. i want a tweed-y, plaid-y separate that i can wear and pair with pussy bow blouses and tee shirts and vests (or even a silver-y sequin-y turtleneck like up there) 'cause i want to be all annie hall a.k.a. diane keaton-y and chic. can you blame me? oh. and boots all golden-y, round-toed and/or pointy. yes. please.  photo: visual optimism

bootie boot boot

and a shooty shoot shoot too that i don't already own these lovely little beige-y lace-up boots. and don't even get me started on that color combo of taupe and mustard-y yellow. whoa whoa whoa, you know? or that perfect height of the heel that makes it an even bigger deal for a girl like me that with ones any taller is nothing but super wobbly. pic: pinimg
