Obsesssion: Back Paxxxxxxxxxx

Last week, this came in the mail..

it's the vans x jesse jo backpack i've been eyeing since before it came out. 

i convinced my momma to buy it for me for skool.

backpacks are just kewl and trendy and that's why i like em. 

and then i discovered the blog 

      backpack block party!

which only fueled my obsession with backpacks even more.

this blog is "A New York-based celebration of backpacks! "

it's totally raaaaaaaadd, mannn

Inspiration: Zenon- Girl of the Twenty First Century

Zenon was a girl of the 21st century

she and her stellar friends had some rockin hairstyles

and zetus lapetus! i'm not the only one inspired by this twenty first century space girl's futuristic style (and her intergalactic surroundings) 

Obsession/Inspiration: Lykke Li

Lykke Li (pronounced Lee-key Lee, not Likely) makes music that is as sleek and sassy (omg yes, sassy. i'm trying to keep with the alliteration) as her hair. 

I listened to both her albums, Youth Novels and Wounded Rhymes through all the trains and planes i went on during my 10 days in France. 

Inevitably, i started to almost nearly emulate her: parting my hair down the middle, making it as straight as possible, wearing monochromatic colors, piling jewelry on minimalist style clothing etc etc.

Sadness is a Blessing is such a beautiful music video. 

i absolutely love the blouse she wears. i tried to find a good photo of it but no cigar. 

Inspiration: Summer Goth

It's Summer time

the time of year for wearing bright oranges and yellows and floral prints and bikinis and sunshine and butterflies.

yet..

something sinister is in the air....

maybe i'm going goth like my dad thought i was when i dip dyed my hair green (wutevr, dad)...

i don't know why, but i can't stop craving to wear BLACK.

(and white, for balance/contrast)

(i'm not going goth, by the way)
