dark vs. light

Magnificent Magazine June 2009







I love the contrast between these two light and dark haired beauties and their corresponding clothes. Delicious. I might go ahead and make the second to last picture my new banner!


half & half

Find me glasses like these and I will be a happy woman.

Oh yea, and I just ordered these from Urban Outfitters
My old black sandals have been worn so much that they're stretched to the point where they don't even stay on my feet anymore, HAHA. RIP.


question:

Does anyone know what magazine & editorial this is from?!I was looking through all of the pictures saved on my computer and I came across this but I have no idea where I found it or what editorial it's from. If anyone knows, please pass on the knowledge :)

PS: OMG TOTALLY SHITTING BRICKS ATM. FLAWLESS.

summertime clothes






cobrasnake

Sweet summer night and I'm stripped to my sheets
Forehead is leaking my AC squeaks
And a voice from the clock says "You're not gonna get tired"
My bed is a pool and the wall's on fire
Soak my head in the sink for a while
It chills my neck and it makes me smile
But my bones have to move and my skin's gotta breathe
You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved

You slide down the stairs to the eager street
And the sun is left with slippery feet
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
And be here with you

It doesn't really matter, I'll go where you feel
Home for the breeze, get a midnight meal
I'll point in the windows, you point out the parks
Rip off your sleeves and I'll ditch my socks
Dance to the songs from the cars as they pass
Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash
Walking around in our summertime clothes
Know where to go where our bodies go

And we'll breath the dawn in its morning blues
With purple yawns, you'll be sleeping soon
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you

When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
Don't cool off, I like your warmth

Let's leave the sound of the heat for the sound of the rain
It's easy to sleep when it wets my brain
It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen
Kissing the wind through my window screen
But restless is causeless and I cannot hide
So much of my mind that it spills outside
Do you wanna go stroll down a financial street?
Our clothes might get soaked
But the buildings sleep

And there's no one pushing for a place
As we enter at an easy pace
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
I want to walk around with you
I want to walk around with you
I want to walk around with you
I want to walk around with you

Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you



rainy daze

So this past week, the weather has been terrible. Rainy and/or humid every day. That's Virginia weather for you! You never known what to expect. But lately I've felt like I'm in Seattle, and not in a good way. Meh. So all in all, I've felt very uninspired lately. I hate how the weather seems to control my moods.

I went shopping and picked up a few things... nothing spectacular or crazy, just a few nice and versatile pieces.

Target (Mossimo) asymmetrical tee

I am a sucker for white t-shirts. I loved the silhouette of this particular shirt.

I also got a black tulip skirt with these awesome slouchy pockets (also from Target) but I can't seem to find a picture on the website. Boo!

swimsuit from Victoria's Secret
I've finally found the perfect red swimsuit! And it makes my boobs look awesome! The rest of my body is another story, lawl.

I'm hopelessly pale and I don't really tan or even burn. I feel like the red will compliment my skintone. Kind of like this (except I'm not blonde)

I'm kind of glad glad pale is coming back in to fashion (slowly but steadily). As I've gotten older I've started to feel a little less self conscious about my vampire skin.

EDIT:
That above statement kind of comes across wrong. I think all skintones are beautiful, to be honest. I just wish that there was a wider, accepted scheme of colors deemed "beautiful."

"DO YOU GO OUTSIDE?!"

YES, YES I DO.


ramblings

First order of business;

Last night's GRIZZLY BEAR concert was AMAZING. Seriously, one of the best concerts I've been to. One of my favorite parts was that they gave away some cupcakes to those lucky enough to be all the way in the front (we were pretty close though, I'm not complaining). They were so humble. What an amazing band and great group of people. They all performed in a straight line (even the drummer was up front and not in the back like they usually are), which I thought was odd but interesting. My friend Claudia bought the vinyl/record version of their latest album, Veckatimest, but can't listen to it until we move into our new apartment because the record player is in storage. I wish I had taken pictures.

All in all, it was a GREAT NIGHT. YAYZ!

Next and totally unrealated;

HOW HOT IS THIS BITCH?!?!?!?!



Leighton Meester (AND WEEZY LOL) at the MTV Movie Awards, via JustJared.

Gossip Girl is one of many silly guilty pleasures of mine. Leighton is just so gorgeous, both on and off screen. I think she pulls this dress off incredibly well considering the fact that she doesn't usually dress like this. My only complaint is that she needs to dye her hair back to dark brown :D.

Lastly;
I've never been the type of girl to dream about her wedding day. Getting married is not one of my priorities at the moment, or ever... I don't know.

That being said, I came across this photo by Rodney Smith and aw'd
If I were to have a wedding, I would want it to emulate this photograph. I love the idea of a black and white wedding dress or themed wedding (done right, I googled it and some of the pictures I came across kind of looked tacky, but most of them didn't).

Kind of reminds me of Armani ss 07



I loved this collection the minute I saw it, It's like fashion sketches IN REAL LIFE. The last one is my favorite. The little fan brooch/clip thing is the cherry on top.

I personally think all of these gowns would look great as wedding dresses. WITH THE HATS. YES.

HEDI SLIMANE DIARY







This reminds me of someone I know, HA.
I can't believe it's already June, ahhh. Why must time go by so so fast, I can't keep up.
Tonight I'm going to see Grizzly Bear at the 930 club. Stoked!
