Thank you to Gail Sorronda for sending me this headband..it’s covered in netted sequins giving it an asteroid look and a texture unlike anything else in my closet. Make sure to check out the exotic lash mask and black chalk bag on the site..beautiful and pretty ideal to fling carelessly on your dresser to make it look that much cooler.

I’ve been dressing more for warmth and comfort for nights out (the usual trashy crap with functional jacket and tights…not really that different I guess)..so it’s more fun to save the naked dresses for trips to whatever field is closest to the freeway. I mean adding outerwear would defeat the purpose here right? I had no idea this dress would cut across the body so crazily when I held it up for the first time in my living room (actually I had no idea what to make of it in general) so that was a err fun surprise when I pulled it on in the car. Somewhere along the way I stopped trying clothes on properly..that’s probably not for the best but sometimes planning ruins everything. A lot of my favorite outfits have been the result of putting together whatever’s in my backseat. Is that just me?
I’ve gotten a lot of emails about these shoes..I think they’ve been re-released? I’m not sure but that’s what someone said. Right now Kumo is nestled up against them. They’re very popular apparently. For the record, they’re really comfortable and run true to size.

Playing around with Kristin after hours at RVCA. I forgot about all the things that printed pictures allow you to do. Wearing a bunch of sheer nude pieces scavenged from a 20 foot radius and cut up.

Strange feeling when you discover that a couple pieces of clothing you’ve owned for six months go together seamlessly. Makes you feel exactly as stupid as you do smart. This dress is one of my favorite pieces in my closet for it’s loose cut and ability to work in any situation given a few accessory changes..but the effect the bustier has on cinching it in just kind of..completes it. So much love for NZ and Australian designers right now. And blindingly bright overhead motion sensor lights.

Hopping around a field and high on nature, baring shoulders at 46 degrees, watching the crows fly ahead more slowly and quietly than in a dream, letting the wind feed me my hair, running and talking faster and faster to keep warm, falling and not caring, forgetting about almost everything. Ten minutes on a Sunday.
