Self-Proclaimed Insomniac

Currently, I sit here 51 minutes after midnight. The start of a new month, and nothing on my mind but the music flowing through my hears from my sound resistant Sony headphones. Mood=blithe. Song of Choice= personal favorite "More Than a Feeling" by the most amazing band Boston. Current trend to admire: band tees



Lindsay Lohan rockin a Boston tee. (yes i secretly love her...)



Mary-Kate...don't know if it's a band but fankly...it's MK..who cares??

DIY: Wood Purses

My very own creation.

What You'll Need:

1. basic plywood that you can cut with a bow knife

2. any color stain (i chose a mahogany)

3. a boxknife

4. electric drill to put holes

5. some sort of chain/rope/ribbon for straps

6. miniature screws and clasps (Micheal's is a one-stop trip)

7. optional wood burning kit for designs in the wood or any other decor

I would firstly sketch out many different ways you would like the purse before deciding on just one.

Next, measure the wood in order to make it fit like a puzzle

Trace it one and then cut with box knife....be very careful to not cut yourself of to not cause the wood to splinter or break.

Once the pieces are cut out, stain the wood and let dry for alloted time- about 30 minutes

use wood burning kit or other decor at this time

drill holes and but hinges over them in order to connect the pieces...forewarning: this part can be tricky. just be patient

put chains on and BAM!

You know where I'll be...

Summer days, driftin away

I decided that the best way for you to get to know me is through the fashion that I love. So I was flipping through style.com's best of summer and decided to share the looks that made me break out in grease, craving for those summer days

Rinette Pradhan at All Points West

yellow sunglasses, red drawstring shorts, and a tank top with a knot on the shoulder (all of my tank tops soon to follow suit) are my personal favs in this photo, plus she has the attitude (and body) to pull it all off

Tara Nichols

not as in love with the whole outfit above, but am definitely putting that t-shirt on my diy list

plus, even when summer ends, i see major potential paired with leather leggings and ankle boots

and finally, the one that i'm absolutely and irrevocably obsessed with

Chantal van der Meijden in Miu Miu

this officially brought me from the depths of black high fashion to the white light of layers, ruffles, and sheer gooorgeousness

soon to tell you more,
