Earrings--rethought

My grandmother got me these cute silver horse earrings that I have been wearing the past couple of days. The hooks don't have any stoppers on them, so I ended up losing one tonight. I wasn't even doing anything extreme, just drinking in my friend's garage with 2 other people.

This made me rethink why people wear earrings in pairs. Why can't they all be different? Why don't people wear all their favorite earrings at once?

I'm going to start doing that. Put all my earrings to use!

Pre-Fall '09

It's really early to be looking forward to next fall, BUT some designers just got it. Next fall will be the first fall of my life without school. I will hopefully have a nice little job that pays my bills and I get to wear heels to haha. Anyhoo, here are a few shapes and silhouettes that I have been already thinking about and how they are evolving:

I've been really into blazers and skinny pants for a while. I need to get a new blazer that has slouchy sleeves so I can push them up.

Missoni has got it. I love these prints and I want to start wearing more dresses. I love the way extra large sweaters look as dresses.

Alexander Wang always wins in my eye...

Like I mentioned in my last post, I have decided to grow out my hair! I am really excited even though it's going to take a while, but I want to have long hair again. I'll take better care of it this time...
This lovely lady is my goal:

Of course, mine will be a lot darker, but I can't wait to pull it back in a low pony tail with a side part. I loved side pony tails when I had longer hair.

Both of them together:

I'm going to try and take better care of myself in 2009. That's my resolution. I got a manicure today, my nails finally look decent. I always fuck up my nail polish on my own.

Until next time

Hiatus much?

I've been extremely busy this past month. I had three productions to complete before the semester was over. One was my skate video which I shot with the lovely girls of ViaBipBop.com and Tummy Toast. You can read more about the production aspect on my production blog, but here's the video just in case you missed it:

Another thing I have been busy with is our weeklies. We just finished up our last OH PIMP of the year with our buddy from Leeds,UK JAK-Z. He stayed at my apartment for almost two weeks and we had a wonderful time hanging out with him. Hopefully we'll be able to see him during SXSW!

Anyhoo, my hair has been growing out at a phenomenal rate! Well, maybe not really BUT it does seem much longer than it was two months ago when I first cut it. I am toying with the idea of letting it grow out again; I kind of want to have long hair again but with really short bangs. I don't know how long I will stand the in-between stages of growing out your hair, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Here are some pictures from the past few weeks (mainly all from OH PIMP):

I don't really like this picture, but I really liked my outfit that night! It was the first time I wore color out in months probably and it was this bright blue over-sized sorority sweater!

These next few are from last week's OH PIMP

Jessica and I have a chronic habit of making out every weekend. She's too pretty to resist! :P

So the basics of my wardrobe right now include:
XL knit hot pink beanie
black bell-shaped Top Shop coat
Nine West platform ankle boots
skinny black satin pants
any skinny black pants cuffed above my boots
my navy combat boots
suede wingtips
gold chains from my grandma, mainly this "54" pendent necklace that represents the brand of my grandpa's ranch
lots of new vintage jewelry from my grandma
lots of old watches (2-3 worn on each wrist)

My grandma has been wanting to give me a fur coat for the past 2 years, but I never wanted to take one up to Austin because I never had a "safe" place to keep it. Now that I have a nice apartment I decided to ask her over Thanksgiving break if I can have a coat. She has three vintage furs and I chose this mink and leather one:

It's really awesome and creates a great silhouette when worn with tights and a little dress underneath. I just have no idea where I am going to wear it. It can always just be used for costume attire for my videos and such. I need to do another photo shoot soon with it. Perhaps after Christmas because I will definitely have some new clothes.

I have also been really into interior design and architecture lately. I recently put up a ton of gesture drawings in black and white all over one of my walls. I want to make it look like wall paper, but I need more tacks. I also hung my film leader by my window. They look really rad when the light hits them. I can't wait until I have a house, it's going to be awesome.

Until next time,
xoxo
