July Afternoon

 Vintage velvet dress- Christian Thrift

 Just a quick little shoot with two of my best friends; Bibbles (the gentleman in the vest) and Pete (tattoos and greaser kid style). These guys are starting up a band, which still needs a name.
Anywho I shot a few photos of Pete and damn he is a good model, right? 

Watch out Tiger beat!

I can't tell if he makes me look better in photos of if I just look terrible by standing next to him.

This Monday Pete and I have a pro photo shoot set up by another photographer friend of mine, which should be fun. We are going for a modern 60s look.. what else is new. hah

 I'm wearing my 60s velvet minidress that I bought for 3 bucks at a local thrift store. It should have been 60, and that my friends is why I love thrifting.

Also I'm going to be hosting the Collection B facebook page soon where you can live chat with me and ask me any beauty or fashion related questions! just "like" them on facebook and stay tuned!

Have a beautiful day!

Pete's Cardigan

Pete's Urban Outfitters cardigan, Vintage lace blouse, Franci Skirt

Just out for a walk with my little goatie, Brownie. 

So I'm sitting here on a quiet Saturday afternoon with the Woman's World Cup on in the background pondering what I'm doing with my day, summer, life. It's a strange feeling when you realize that you have to change all your plans and goals because it just doesn't feel right anymore. This could be due to your own changing views or the heavy influence of others. I need to find my own way. Even if that means not knowing what the hell I'm doing right now. And I really don't know what the hell I'm doing anymore.

Still there are things in my life that make it a little more clear for me. The only things that really make any of this easier; my best friends. One of them, being the rightful owner of this lovely cardigan I'm wearing above. Boy's cardigans are the best. They are so comforting, slightly oversized and smell fantastic.

I need more of this in my life.

Bubble Gum Alley/ Collection B

Forever 21 dress, Collection B jacket,  H&M bag, Urban outfitters t-straps, Vintage beret

My first jacket from Collection B!

When I first received this jacket I was so happy to get started on my collaboration with Collection B, but then a bit puzzled as to what would look nice with a white leather jacket. I'm usually sporting my black leather, so it took some thought and outfit planning. Eventually I saw that the best thing to do with such a brilliant white is to keep it simple. So I paired my jacket with a vibrant, silk, bow pattern dress sent to me by Forever 21 and added some black accessories. And I do love this jacket. It fits so well, which is hard to come by in outerwear. Collection B is a fantastic company, so visit their website, enter to win $1,000 and get a free music download! Oh, and "like" them on facebook!
I've been sporting the beret I bought at Playclothes in LA lately because it looks very 60s and reminds me of the lovely Annie Monroe from the Like.
For these photos I went to downtown Slo and even ventured to the ever popular "Bubble Gum Alley", a pretty nasty alleyway frequented by tourists for it's unique discarded chewables stuck all over the bricks. I've lived here my entire life but never really found it the ideal place to hangout. Admittedly it shoots pretty well and has extremely lovey colours and aesthetics, but in person it's kinda nasty... a cool characteristic of San Luis Obispo.. but nasty.

Apparently I now have a facebook fan page, so like away I suppose!

Not too sure how I feel about it yet.. but we shall see.

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

Blackness in Summer.

Nothing too much to talk about today. Or ever really. So I will just ya with quote-

White Heat

 Dress H&M

Just a few shots from Thursday before I went to San Luis Obsipo for Farmers Market with a friend. 

I received my first jacket from Collection B today. It's white leather so I need to think very carefully about how to style it. 

Any suggestions?

So I have some big news! I've been recently hired by Collection B as a model/photographer! I will be featured as one of their "style mavens" on their website and facebook page!

I'm so excited to get shooting when I receive my first jacket!

Again thank you to my new followers! I should be getting some free time soon to visit your blogs and leave you some love! that's something I need to get better at. But thank you for all your comments and emails! I appreciate them so very much.

Have a fantastic day,  lovelies!

The Palms

 Vintage skirt, Vintage blouse, Vintage sweater, Vintage shoes, H&M box bag

These photos were taken last month during my road trip to Canada when my best friend and I stayed at the Palms Motel in Portland Oregon. That motel was crazy. 

I love the sign but the room smelled thick with cig smoke. And I'm not a smoker.

I have some exciting news to share with my next post, so watch for it!
