To Brunch We Go

I'm wearing an Alexander Wang tank, a Reformation skirt, black leather Converse high-tops, a Levis denim jacket, and carrying an A. Wang "Marion" handbag.

I got this top at a sample sale and it's probably the tightest and brightest thing in my closet—making it  the best thing to go out in, and the worst thing to go get brunch in. But I did exactly that. I went to brunch with friends in this amazing Wang top that is so blindingly colorful that it verges on sorority girl neon, and is so sportingly tight that I could mistaken for an Olympian swimmer while wearing it. Whatevs—it's my outfit and I'll try what I want to, right? Plus, orange is on of my very favorite colors. And speaking of color, after working in an office with a strict dress code of blacks, greys, and whites, I'm going to flaunt as much color as I possibly can.

Girl Band

I'm wearing a vintage Harley Davidson T-shirt, a Guess by Marciano skirt, Alexander Wang "Anouck" boots, my beloved hat and pyramid ring both found at Wasteland, an Alexander Wang handbag, and cross necklace from Reformation.

I desperately want to be a part of a girl band—like The Runaways (hello Cherie Currie aka Dakota Fanning!), or The Donnas, or something. I would want to play the drums...or the tambourine! So badass, I know. In reality, I'm completely musically challenged. I can dance to music—I danced competitively throughout my entire childhood, but for some reason I just can't figure out the playing of music. I've always thought it would be cool to be able to tell someone, "I'm a musician." I mean, what a cool job—way better than a desk job! Don't get me wrong I love working in fashion, but I also love music, and writing, and drinking wine. Someday I'm going to create a job that combines all four of those things. I read this book recently entitled, Steal Like an Artisit by Austin Kelon that advises just that: Don't give up anything you love just because you need a job, instead, create a job that encompasses everything you love. It is an interesting concept if you really think about it. And, I'm going to leave you with that for now.

King Tuff

I'm wearing a vintage velvet maxi dress, a Vanessa Mooney necklace, and a whole bunch of other random goodies from Dylana Suarez's closet—thanks for styling me D!!

SO STOKED to be going to the Bowery Ballroom to see King Tuff tonight—check them out, if you haven't already!! If I could go to a concert every night, I totally would. I'm always on the lookout for new music, so if you have any recommendations then send them my way! I wish I had time to write more, but I'm already late and I still have to go pick out an outfit around my favorite Black Sabbath T-shirt. Band T-shirts are my jam, if you didn't already know.
