the influence: 9 1/2 weeks

 i am just going to say it- i am completely 100% obsessed with kim basinger in 9 1/2 weeks...

 red lips, smokey eyes, tousled hair, slouchy sportswear worn to perfection, neutral colors, bold jewelry, menswear, and lingerie.

a birthday list

just a few things i've had my eye on...

lippmann collection nail color in "birthday party"

tie dye "lightning" wrap dress by vain & vapid

paul anka: rock swings

paul anka covers 80's songs with an element of swing- it does not get better than this. i am so grateful that we heard a few of these songs at the campbell apartment the other night. this album is a dream come true.

i am still in disbelief that i do yet possess this zine by Elizabeth Spiridakis and Marisa Meltzer. just saying the word "zine" makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

when i found this handmade dress in a thrift shop, i instantly thought of holly hobbie. i was all about holly hobbie as a kid. does this make me sound really old? probably.
