Recently dubbed by Rolling Stone as the “Saddest, baddest diva in rock,” Miz Lana Del Rey’s penchant for deep, dark melancholy has commanded the attention of both lovers and haters for the past three years.

The 2 Bandits is one of my all-time favorite brands because they totally nail the urban gypsy aesthetic that’s so trendy right now, but their pieces are also extremely well-made and totally timeless. They also happen to put out killer lookbooks. Really lusting after this new collection called “Western Romance.” The boho-cowgirl styling here is on-point, the … Continue reading →

When I was young, I used to have a deathly fear of clowns. Honestly, they still creep me out. When I came across these photos of French clowns from the 1920’s, my first instinct was to slam my computer screen shut lest endure insanely creepy visions. Yes, I’m 24 years old.

Safe to say I am absolutely obsessed with NY-based vintage e-boutique Coyote Negro’s summer lookbook TROPICALEO. My new summer uniform is now consisting of unbuttoned Hawaiian shirts thrown over one-pieces à la Baywatch, accessorized with some oversized circle sunnies, Heyoka leather jewelry and a Modello Light.

You may remember a little ol’ feature I did on my blogger friend Marlen a little while ago. Well since then she’s pulled another project out of her sleeve — a fantastically curated Etsy shop, Bear and Twine Vintage, full of vintage finds for every occasion.

This vintage floral skirt that I found at a thrift shop a few years ago and altered has been a trusty fall-back item. Black tee, leather jacket, skirt, boom. Instant outfit. I paired my vintage floral skirt with a black peplum t-shirt from Forever21. The flare at the waist of the shirt in combination with … Continue reading →

“They were smart and sophisticated, with an air of independence about them, and so casual about their looks and clothes and manners as to be almost slapdash. I don’t know if I realized as soon as I began seeing them that they represented the wave of the future, but I do know I was drawn … Continue reading →
