cotton candid

Oh how I yearn for the days of not getting my ass kicked. I'm talking about the weather, not the fact that I'm a bully's pipsqueak dream victim. Every time I leave the house I get assaulted by 1) perfectly tolerable winter temperatures that feel like summer to Minnesotans but hell frozen over to me 2) extremely RUDE wind currents that have absolutely no respect for my hairstyle. So I'm left longing for the days of tie-dye tank dresses and frivolous faux fur... ya know. Back when your life didn't literally depend on your vestiary armor. 

This pastel power combo features a hippie dippie Romwe tank and platform boots from Echo Club House (formerly Swaychic). Matched le transparent pink Claire's purse to le transparent pink cap and called it macaroni.

heart set on ette

Been growing my bangs out for summer but the transition into middle-part-territory STILL hasn't happened. I've been trying to pull off the overgrown borderline feral fringe look by wearing more earthy prints and silhouettes. This tie-dye kimono from Ette does the trick. I love the way it drapes over a maxi dress and platform boots... reminds me of my beloved 2012 road trip lifestyle.



Check out how me and Jessi styled another Ette look at Taco Bell for The Fabulous Stains! We be thinkin' outside the bun ALWAYS.  Fab Stains x Ette Clothing

SPACE_WEDGE

As I’m typing this, I’m somewhere else. I think it might be “Heaven”, as that’s what my gradient, cloud-print leggings are appropriately named after. Like my outfit, this “world” I presently occupy is pastel and sweet, like mint sherbet, but also futuristic and… hyperspatial, like listening to trance music blindfolded in a 47 degree marble arena on a Saturday morning. Fortunately the visual elements of my outfit are easier to describe than the nuances of that sensation. And they’re imitable, too. So, potentially, you could look just as pastel and hyperspatial if you visited Poprageous.com, hooked yourself up with a pair of “Heaven Suspender” leggings, and paired them with a mint sweater and metallic snapback.

“Heaven Suspender” leggings – POPRAGEOUS

"Space Wedge Sneakers" – Daily Look

While I'm writing blog posts, I always find myself tempted to gush about how some certain article of clothing (in this case: hidden wedges) "epitomizes" my present “essence” because I like it so much. But really, what is it about perforated white leather sneakers with metallic Velcro straps that describes me at my core? Nothing, actually. I simply recognize that these shoes are... extremely tight. And trendy. And riding the 'tight' and 'trendy' coattails of my shoes affords my being some sense of style. I think this is what they call "branding." Cool shoes make me cool. If I am able to recognize that these spacey sneaks are "du jour", I must have a pretty keen head on my shoulders. And just like I can make these logical deductions about myself, I can make them about people around me. That's why 'cool clothing' is usually a social clue used to foster friendships and communities. People brand themselves with certain apparel because they are attracted to the lifestyle that " the look" represents. 

But anyway. What ultimately matters is the WEDGE SNEAKER, more specifically titled the "SPACE WEDGE SNEAKER" (yes CAPS are necessary, have you seen these beauties up close?) They’re for sale on Daily Look, among a handful of other badass kicks that I likewise need to get my hands on and feet into... check out the site right hurr.

PARKMAN BLUE

Somethin' bout the energy of this outfit reminds me of Yoko Ono. Hippie Yoko, not nu-millennium-newsboy-cap-and-wire-rimmed-sunglasses Yoko (which is arguably a cooler version of her, but sadly not the aesthetic I was channeling). My breezy cotton pants are from CRASH AND BURN, a brand the fashion blogger community knows well for its signature tie-dye designs and industrial, gradient patterns. Now it's your turn to get in on the action by checkin' out the shop! I love the free-spirited element present in these palazzo pants. A flower crown and Eastern print cardigan from my sis keep the look summery and cool. Fun outfit for a spontaneous September day... #YOLO Ono. That's wassup.













FROM TOP TO BOTTOM:
Flower crown - DIY
Cardigan - Borrowed
Crochet top - Secondhand
Gold chain - SHOP GOLDIE
Palazzo pants - CRASH AND BURN
Wedges - Nine West
Flower bag - Valentino

Thanks again CRASH AND BURN for making this look possible! Always a blast rockin' the Parkman pants. ^-^

TOP 10 MAGIC DISCOVERIES

Though I instantly recognized hundreds of brand names as I entered this year's colossal exhibitor arena at MAGIC, there were hundreds more that looked unfamiliar to me. I’m curious to a fault at times, but my fascination with new and novel retailers actually led me to some incredible discoveries that I’d like to share with you guys! Here’s my ultimate Top 10 Magic Discoveries list:

10. True Fit. This awesome denim company arranged a lunch with the digital influencers to share with us their innovative new service for online shoppers. If you’re shopping for jeans online but fear that you’ll purchase an ill-fitting pair, dispel your anxiety by signing up with True Fit through Nordstrom or Macy's. They’ve generated a system that displays which styles of jeans will fit you best according to the preferences - NOT measurements - you provide! Read more about their revolutionary system here.

9. Vigoss Jeans. Okay, so I’ve ALWAYS known about Vigoss, but what I didn’t know is that their latest selection of prints and colors plays into my recent obsession with BOLD brights. Naturally, a champagne toast ensued.

8. This eyeball bag by Kreepsville 666.

7. Nathan’s chili cheese fries. SORRY I’M NOT SORRY I CAN’T NON-STOP TALK ABOUT CLOTHES. “Easily distracted by greasy, deep fried American cuisine drenched in processed yellow high-calorie goo.” – My impending OK Cupid bio. Mmmmm.

6. This fluorescent, feather print suit from Lucca Couture.

5. Marchez Vous by Yeardly Smith. Okay, it’s ONE thing to discover an awesome new shoe line. It’s another thing to discover that the awesome new shoe line is designed entirely by, um, LISA SIMPSON. Yup! The actress who voices one of the most iconic cartoon characters of our generation makes SHOES! And they’re CRAAAZY cute. Check ‘em out here!

4. Flat Outs. These are genius, obviously. Every gal has suffered the Great High Heels Dilemma: you want to go out for dinner in your sexiest stilettos. But after a couple hours of pounding the pavement, you’re due for a couple blisters. And then what? Plaster your tortured toes in band-aids and Neosporin? Or drown the pain with ten margaritas? Save yourself the hangover and invest in a pair of Flat Outs, which are adorable little flats that curl up into a TINY box and fit perfectly in your purse! So you can take a comfortable pair of shoes WITH you for a night out on the town. Get 'em here. (P.S. I have the leopard pair!)

3. These Irregular Choice heels. That I now OWN. Sometimes I question whether or not I am even deserving of such color-block perfection.

2. Gypsy Junkies. I could go on for hours about this crew – BEYOND the insane level of bohemian inspired, rock and roll groupie uniforms is an incredible team of technicolor pixies and counterculture enthusiasts. Here’s some blurbs from my “Road to Magic” post!

Today I had the pleasure of rockin' the BEST Almost Famous inspired ensemble I've ever laid my eyes (and hands!) on. Gypsy Junkies, a free-spirited brand inspired by classic rock and 1970s hippie glamour, swathed me in a gorgeous white fur coat, fuchsia tie-dye palazzo pants, and a mushroom-print ruffle blouse!

I wore the outfit to my discovery panel to share the glory that is their incredible line with buyers and consumers on the MAGIC floor. If you didn't get a chance to check out their booth at the show, find them online!  http://www.gypsyjunkies.com/
