I can't believe I have neglected this blog for so long! I have been soo busy attempting to finish school and finally start summer! I was so teased by the 80 degree weather that plummeted to low 60's this week. So, I'm going to try my best to go back to my regular blogging schedule. And I'm not going to add myself to the list of other bloggers and put up Mark's Ksubi shots, but isn't that collection AMAZING.

I have finally started bringing out my shorts for the summer. I never really liked these shorts because they are a tad big and make my butt look nonexistent, but once I rolled them and popped out the pockets.... ta da!

Shop Fólktime!

I just started the blog, Shop Folktime, where you can purchase clothes of mine

and also many of my vintage finds! I am selling clothing and accessories of varying

color, style, price, and size.

So check it out! I am adding tons of new items everyday and have over 40 items that

I am prepared to sell. Questions? E-mail me at folktime@aol.com

Enjoy!

kick down the treble

I somehow wrapped this old necklace around me and this is how it ended up!

I'm wearing an old Hanes tee that I cut up into a tank top and an Urban Outfitters

cardigan. Apparently it was on sale because it ran up $12 cheaper. I love when things

like that happen....

p.s Looks like i'll be moving to Boston in September! Any Bostonian readers?

steal

(H&M bra)

Today's purchase. I basically stole this from H&M because it was only $9.

Since I have been drooling over this, I am ecstatic I found one for nearly a tenth of

the price. I can't wait to wear it under everything!

brickchains

(UO jeans and tank, second hand sweater, vintage and self made chains)

I have so many chains and necklaces that are so meaningful to me, that usually I just end up throwing them all on together. I have my vintage switch key and two rings put on a chain. My favorite might be my tribal silver necklace that was my grandmothers.

I wore this out today to a coffee shop followed by endless walking and driving, by night I really needed a jacket. I'm in denial it's still cold..

I have been thinking about doing a q&a from most of the e-mails I've been receiving, any suggestions?

waterways

(vintage dress, my mothers vest and necklace)

62 degrees in March? Crazy. Crazy. I want shorts, and tank tops, and flip flops, flowy dresses, and jean jackets when its cold.. high socks, and high grass. I love layering for fall and maybe even spring, but tights under leggings under jeans for winter is way too much layering.

It has been so warm here and I have been dying to wear this dress, I borrowed this beautiful necklace from my mother and tied it. I love the last picture, it reminds me of a painting..

(DIY shredded thrifted shirt)

We got two inches of snow! I actually got stuck in maryland and couldn't come home until sunday, so sorry for the lack of posts! I actually shredded this shirt last weekend 20 minutes before I walked out the door for a show, I really wanted it and somehow completed it in the most ridiculously short of time... and I never ended up wearing it! Well, at least I can add this to the rest of the shredded pile..

p.s Natalie has an awesome blog!

Jeremy Scott FW 2010

"Hanger Appeal" Jeremy Scott's Fall/Winter 2010 Collection.

This collection was soo rad! I loved the oversized sweaters bearing "STYLE" and "FASHION".

You can't expect anything less from Jeremy Scott, who always incorporates pop culture into his designs. The custom Jeremy Scott hangers were what originally got me, (no pun intended) on the name of the collection. The craziest was the life-size model cutouts that the models had attached to their belts! The hair and makeup was so rad, as usually. Love love love love this collection.

float down stream

(UO sweater and tank)

we are getting a foot of snow tomorrow. so stoked, it has been so dry here. although, i'm slightly getting sick of the cold since I have recently cut and bleached some of my old jeans and can't wear them for a few months...

my day consisted of black coffee, climbing down rocks, and ending up at the most beautiful stream of ice and waterfalls. watching the water choose its own path.

THE SLOW ARROW OF BEAUTY

The noblest kind of beauty is that which does not transport us suddenly, which does not make stormy and intoxicating impressions (such a kind easily arouses disgust) but that which slowly filters into our minds..

(CBGB tee, vintage leather shorts, UO sweater)

I have not been able to take these shorts off, I'm on such a leather kick right now.

This is one of my favorite sweaters of all time, downward arrows are a weakness of mine.

(DIY jean shorts, vintage YSL shirt)

This is a vintage YSL men's shirt that I surprisingly found at a thrift store for $28. It's soo very soft and drapes nicely. These shorts were my first cut and bleach project. Old baggy jeans to rad shorts.

I have been getting a lot of questions about the rings I wear on a daily basis. These are the rings I permanently wear on my left hand. The rings on my index and middle finger were gifts and the one on my ring finger was my grandmothers. I also wear another ring of my grandmothers permanently on my right hand. I love rings, the more the merrier.

Also, a friend of mine bought me this vintage bag for christmas from a vintage store after she saw me gawking at it when we were thrifting. It's actually cast with real leather and the shape it so awesome.

I'm going to vermont this weekend, sooo stoked. I better bundle!

ELECTRIC FEEL

(vintage sweater and leather shorts, UO top)

If I actually went out the door like this I would have frozen my ass off. I originally had thick tights under these shorts and my big jacket. This dark and cold weather has been making me want to stay in bed all day long everyday. Sometimes cold is an understatement. It's the kind of cold that you don't want to go anywhere because you don't want to have to run in and out of the car and then wait for it to warm up.

I am ecstatic that I have taken four mid-terms and I now only have two to go. Although, not including my art mid-term which is friday.

I got this sweater at the Salvation Army a few years ago and who knows how long the person had it before me and I actually gasped when I picked it up today and found some holes in the back... clothes age... unfortunately. I will just have to be extra careful. I can't wait until I can wear these leather shorts in the summer without tights, since I only got them a few months ago, I haven't gotten to wear them tight-less!

p.s i love urban outfitters new spring catalog, especially this, this and these!
