Midnight Music in the Moonlight

abluedressmain

There are is this song lyric, by Abraham, a band from Louisiana, that is the sweetest thing. "Cozy up to a roaring fire, turn on the player with my favorite LP. Dance with my woman in the kitchen late into the night cuz thats the way things are supposed to be." I've been wanting to build a porch in my backyard for who knows how long so I can keep my door open on summer nights and lounge out there while playing my records and maybe dancing (with myself, ahem) to beautiful music at times. Isn't that just magical n dreamy?

This is what I wore to work today:

Etsy Fav: Feather Heart Flower Trading Co

I just wanted to tell you folks about one of my most grandious finds on the 'ol etsy site. I recently purchased a really cute foxtail charm from this adorable lady and am in complete and total/ desperately/ sick to my stomach/ cant stop thinking about it/ don't know what to do with myself type of love with her stuff. Check it out and see for yourself. I bet you'll feel the same way too.
She sells all natural teas/ herbal stuff and handmade jewelry using leather/ turquoise n such. Another wonderful thing about this shop is she will custom make a piece for you, for instance, I liked her astrology sign necklace with the charms, but because I don't believe any of that psycho-bable, I asked if she could make the personalized name necklace and add some charms to it. How sweet, eh? She also sells some vintage. I found a very earthy dress on there that Im going to purchase on Wednesday, so don't you go trying to steal it from me!!!! I will not put a link to that one, but all others, just click on the picture and I'll link you to the item. Yous velcomes.

Floating midst the Constellations

aconstellation
I skipped the gym again to work on my projects. Its heavy duty the rest of the week tho. :-) Don't fret! My work will be worth it. You will see. This is what I wore today. This little bugger wanted to join in on the picture taking fun. Sorry for the sour face. The stars were blinding me. Oh, and please dont criticize my Photoshop skills! Im an art school drop out! That combined with lazy/ haziness.

Man, It feels good to be a Gangsta

aleopardtights-main

I thought I looked a bit gangsta in these pictures. Perhaps I am. I josh. I am but a sweet innocent girl.
Anywho, let me tell you what happened last nite. I had a dream. It was about my Aunt Kathy. She passed away a couple years ago due to cancer. In my dream. My aunt was sitting on a swing. She looked youthful and beautiful. Her eyes were a gorgeous shade of blue. She was just staring straight ahead and slightly smiling. We (my uncle, my mom, myself and my sisters) walked passed her towards my uncles house. I was freaked out, but my uncle sat down next to her. It was as if she was trying to comfort him without saying a word. My uncle came inside and she followed later but she turned into a cat or a dog so as to not scare the children in the house. This was not a good dream yall, I was freaking out the whole time. All of a sudden I heard a really loud banging noise. I woke up. Obviously something had fallen. I turned on the lights in my "living room" and saw that two of my paintings had fallen off the wall. I know it was a coinky-dink, but geez!! Needless to say, I kept my feet and hands from going off the bed and tucked into my covers the rest of the night.
This is one of my latest outfits. I just got the tights recently from romwe.com. I just went to their site recently, and saw a ton of others that I loved. Pretty good prices too. I'll be purchasing more vera vera soon.

Leather on a Monday

anthrobelt2
Life has been pretty busy lately. I have been working out 4 times a week to get buff by next month. Im feeling it. Im sore all over. SXSW is this weekend and Im pretty thrilled. Looking forward to seeing a bunch of great bands....listening to amazing music. Pretty wonderful if you ask me. I also took the day off Friday to take Seb to Six Flags while he is still on Spring Break.
Anywho, this is actually Monday's outfit. Yes, I wore a leather dress to the workplace. I tamed it with a heather gray sweater and a pretty belt I found at Anthropologie this weekend. I am in love with that store....I will be a designer there some day. :-)
Another thing....I promise to start taking pictures outside my humble abode. I know it gets boring. Im going to take my tripod and camera with me every day and I'll stop and take some pictures out in different semi interesting places. I want some cool pictures.Do you guys have any other suggestions that might get this ol blog noticed/ make it more interesting?
