i'm listening to primus right now... damn it's been a long time...

so i found this jacket at salvation army for $5. yup you heard me. well, it was actually $5.99. i kinda love how easy it is. i've been wearing it like crazy. best part is it's the perfect way to wear all my pins... i collect pins you see... since i was like 14.... so i have A LOT. i haven't bought any in a while. hmmm.. i think i'm gonna have to fix that.

i have a real love/indifference to fashion... i know strange... i do have a quasi fashion/personal style blog right??? anyhow... i love fashion in the way that i love dressing up in my favorite stuff to take a walk or jump on the bed.... but sometimes i think the industry in general emphasizes the wrong aspects. i mean it's art and it's the best way to express who you are on a daily basis since you do have to wear clothing... unless you live in a nudist community :D but anyhow... my love for fashion and clothing came about in a really strange way... my mom left when i was a wee lil thang and left a lot of her clothes... i used to parade around the house in her dresses and heels... and nightgowns and long strands of fake pearls (it was the 80s). burying my muzzle in her stuff and smelling her as i cuddled in my strawberry shortcake quilt. i was a happy girl and keeping her with me in any way kept me that way. i still dress up like i'm a lil grrrl and wear what makes me happy. it's about that for me... feeling good... just like it was when i used to layer my mommys goodies...

that is basically how i got my name/blog title... i found ways to stay brave back then... and part of it was wearing what made me happy and made me me. the grrl part came from riot grrrl which was my saving grace in my high school years. so there you have it.

be brave! be you!

and don't be judgmental of all the other grrrls wandering around the planet being brave enough to be themselves. cuz well that just sucks.

ok enough

love

today was a tough one, i don't know why. it just was....
i made this top a couple weeks ago and have worn it lots since these photos were taken... seems as though i'm gravitating towards clothing that i can sleep in... hmmmm... including harems... who knew...

ok... a glass of wine, a shower and the song remains the same await me...

par amour

i'd love to have an outdoor living space...
big comfy pillows, the shade of trees.... heaven. i'd be outside all the time... reading, eating, sleeping...

this is the beginning of a series of photos shot at the paramour. yes, i am a lucky grrl. and the paramour is beyond beautiful. it was built in 1923 and is now the personal residence of the amazing designer dana hollister. a thousand kisses to you dana!!!

i love these jeans... i really don't like using the term jeggings... it just doesn't feel right. but i guess that is what these are... anywhoo they are becoming a quick favorite and i hope h&m makes them in black come fall :) so yeah, i went back to h&m... i had to have this headband in white :)
