cheap and cheerful

zoe kravitz has fucking fantastic style. every time i see a picture of her i’m reassured she’s one of the most original dressers out there. and how could she not be? lenny kravitz and lisa bonet as parents kind of guarantees that you’ll be ultra cool, artistic and creative.

i call it art (la chanson de slogan)

i’ve recently become obsessed with weheartit.com. i literally go on everyday and look at hundreds of pictures and they all inspire me in one way or another. the clothing, the attitude, the surroundings.

here’s some from today:

i can’t explain why we live this way

i’m well aware that about a year ago i started this blog and my first post “all good things are wild and free” was about trend followers and “copy cats”. i understand at one point we all most likely follow some sort of trend and no one, no matter what, can be 100% original. we’re all inspired by someone or something.

at the time i wrote that post i was really frustrated with a lot of things, one being what i thought was someone copying. i went a bit overboard. i just don’t care now.

shows how much you can change in a year, eh? if someone tried to change me or said i was copying them, i’d tell them to piss off.
wear what you like, listen to what you like, act how you like. don’t listen to what others say. it’s about you at the end of the day. do what makes you happy.

the royal we

today is going to be a long day. already looking forward to nighttime starbucks.

i woke up today and found out 3 of my favorite bands had been nominated for grammys. kings of leon, mgmt, and silversun pickups. of course this isn’t the first time for the kings (if only people had payed attention to them for the other 3 albums), but i’m beyond happy that silversun pickups are finally being acknowledged for their beyond fantastic, genius music. keeping my fingers crossed that they win!!

my favorite songs of the three bands:

kings of leon – charmer, it’s not my party, cold desert, taper jean girl, 17

mgmt – love always remains, the handshake, kids, the youth

silversun pickups – kissing families, little lover’s so polite, three seed, pretty much anything they do i will love.

i do what i like

dreaming of a place far away. the dream is too short. reality isn’t quite as fun. let’s run away and live in an apartment in the city and have coffee for breakfast. watch a band every night and wear black everyday like rockstars.

not one of you has got an ounce of style in ya

wow i haven’t been on here in so long. i definitely missed it! anyways…

I have recently rediscovered lou doillon and I am so glad i have! she has fucking fantastic style.

i LOVE her jacket in the last picture. her style kind of reminds me a little bit of erin wassons’. that “i don’t really care” attitude that just manages to come off so chic and so cool. i can’t wait to go shopping next week. winter clothing! over the knee boots, lace tights, dresses and skirts, and faux leather jacket!

and it’s bitter and whispers chaotic things

everything is seemingly beautiful on the outside, but what about the inside? what goes on behind closed doors when no one is looking? is it all a facade? is it a lie? a veil to cover up the shattering truth?

i’ve been realizing a lot lately. everyday you learn something new and lately i’ve been learning a whole lot each day. i feel as if everyday that goes by i become more of the person i’m meant to be. i come into my own a little more. i’m letting things happen organically more.  life happens and you can’t pause it, you can’t stop it. you just have to live it, dive into it.  i’m trying to not be so inhibited or introverted. everyday is a new day, a new set of adventures. when you wake up to the world, it’s a little different than it was when you went to sleep. life is many things, chaotic, fun, sad, angry, full of adventure, full of happiness. just live it.

i don’t want any rules.

everything that is connected and beautiful

i have found my new favorite designer, chrissie miller. i love her line sophomore.

her clothing is simple, casual, and unique all at once. really want something from the spring 2009 collection.

lemon rose

i have stumbled upon a new (fashion) idol:

erin wasson rocks.

i’ll go where secrets are sold

where roses unfold, i’ll sleep as time goes by

i wish i could have all four of these in one.

like a burst of sunshine, to wake up with the sun in your eyes, and the ocean just a few feet away.
