Out of Body

Dress – Dear Creatures via Emerging Thoughts  //  Tights – F21  //  Boots – Feet First

Fresh week and a fresh start.  At least that’s how I’m lookin’ at it. I’m finally getting some sleep and I’m trying to get my barrings in the process.  It’s really fascinating how lack of sleep skews your brain, emotions, and perspectives.  What’s really funny is that for me it affects my speech as well.  My two languages start to meld together until it becomes not just mixes sentences, but mixed words and my three year old is the only one who understands me.  It’s actually quite an interesting process when viewed from the outside – ’cause when you’re that tired you can have an out of body experience too.

What Rules?! Thursdays

Dress – Moon Collection  //  Shirt – Love Nail Tree  //  Sweater – made by my Babcia  //  Scarf – Kensie  //  Boots – Feet First  //  Tights – Hansel from Basel

Today’s rule to break is “No white after labor day.”  It’s an antiquated rule anyway, and I think most would agree it no longer applies.  So I thought a nice easy rule would be perfect to ease us out of the gate.  Next week we’re breaking the “No red lipstick during the day” rule.  I wanna see all your  pretty pouts.

Now today, let’s see how fabulous all you rebels are.

Link up your outfit post, Twitter picture, Instagram picture, Facebook photo, whatever link showcasing your rebellious style.   All I ask is that you grab a button or add a text link back.
Thanks.

Decades From Now and With No Cost

Dress – Suzy Sheir  // Boots – Call It Spring  //  Rings – F21  //  Necklace – bought in Europe

There’s nothing that says that personal style and a wardrobe you love has to be new or pricey.  This dress, one of my favorites, is the exact opposite of both.  Less than twenty dollars, over ten years ago, and yet it still belongs in my wardrobe.  It’s still part of my style, and it’s still something that people will compliment me on.

This is something on my mind as the leaves are already starting to change color and I’m reminded of the transience of fashion, as fickle as the seasons.  Fall reminds me to stay true to the things that matters and, as it applies to fashion, the styles and pieces that are truest to myself as well.

You don’t have to stay with trends, or change every season, or spend hundreds of dollars.  You just have to know what work for you, and what you might possibly love a decade from now.  Those loves, those perfect pieces, may be hundreds of dollars….or they may cost four lattes.   Personal style is without price.

A Soft Caress Of The Wind

Kimono – Threadsence  //  Dress H&M  //  Necklace – Lustre Boutique  //  Shoes – unknown

There’s something about a warm breeze.  Something so joyful and, let’s be honest, sexy about it.  A warm breeze is like a lovers caress through your hair and on your skin.  It’s soothing, and comforting, and full of promise.  A freeing of inhibitions, and a reckless abandon now only left to the optimism of youth.  We all need more warm breezes.

The Perfect Fedora

Top – Ruche //  Jeans – Gap  //  Hat – known  //  Sandals – Rocketdog  //  Sunnies & Earrings – F21
Yes I’m still on set and will be for a while.  All week in fact, so these photos are actually from the weekend.  Sorry, fooling you a bit here.  But I love a great fedora.  Biking around this summer has meant that I don’t get to wear them that much, as I’m always wearing my helmet, but a fabulous fedora is pretty much my perfect accessory. That and amazing sunglasses.  Can’t live without those. 

Vampires And Kimonos??

Top – c/o Gracie B. Boutique // Jacket – Zara  //  Shorts & Sunnies – F21  //  Boots – DIYed  //  Necklace – Ardene
I love kimonos.  Honestly, can’t get enough, and I want to own every single one.  The problem?  I’m still figuring out how to wear them.  I’m playing and trying to see what works for me and what doesn’t.  Maybe here’s where I can finally stat using Pinterest.  Oh that’s what that thing is for right?  
I’m gonna play folks.  I’m gonna have some fun…but be warned, that means some outfits may suck.  And suck a lot.  It takes trial and error to figure things out.  Get ready for some major suckage.  
*Side note:  I believe I may be watching too many Vampire things lately…everything ‘Sucks’*

Self-Delusions and Dreams For Days

Dress – Ruche   //  Necklace – Threadsence  //  Shoes & Sunnies – F21
Hot, sunny, and busy.  My favorite season.  I’ve been on set for a film the last few days,  you can read about that on my acting site, and it’s been wonderful getting a bit more physical in a role.  Exactly what I’ve wanted.  Just wanted to explain my sudden silence.  Despite my self-delusions I apparently can’t do it all – all the time.
On certain days when it’s warm outside and there’s a dream like romantic feeling hanging on my shoulders,  I reach for a floral chiffon dress in a classic cut.  I have two dresses that fulfill this requirement perfectly, this being one of them, and it’s nice to have to option to indulge in a soft romantic fantasy for a day.  Or two.

Watching Something Grow And Makin’ It Happen

Dress – Guess //Hat – Unknown  //  Sunnies – F21  //  Necklace – ModCloth  //  Shoes – Payless
I’m taking three days off right now to ‘relax’ at a cottage.  Which means, that I’m currently sitting in a cafe on their wifi blogging and doing email work to reply to photo clients, and to download scripts for films and auditions.  
But it also means that I get to see my fabulous feature film, entitled Synchronicity,  campaign go live!  It’s a soft sci-fi in the likes of Primer, with a mostly female cast.  I think it’s pretty great that I get to be a part of a film that is about and starring mostly women.  We women need a stronger voice in film.  We need to be the hero and not just be the story that happens to the hero.  So that’s why I’m excited to be producing and starring in this feature film.  I’d love for you to check it out.  And of course, you get to see me wearing a cool bow tie.

Lack of Concern For Execution

Dress -Sweet Rain  //  Sandals & Jacket – F21  //  Sunnies – Lace Affair
A casual day spent at my mom’s house means that my uniform is a dress and easy denim jacket.  It also means that my humid wracked hair is up and away from my face without concern for the style or beauty of it’s execution.  Which would be fine, were I not a person to chronicle everything I wear.  
There you have it folks. Some days were you to stop by my house you would find my hair a veritable braided rats nest.  C’est la vie.
p.s. Make sure you guys check out my Gracie B giveaway.  It’s pretty kick ass.
