You Get Lost In Your Own Hair

wearing American Apparel tank dress and twisty scarf

i met up with my older sister the first time i wore this dress. She took a quick glance and told me it was a tank top, i told her AA is calling it a dress and therefore it is one.
she also asked me something pretty interesting, "are you on board with the braless movement that's been going on [in the city]?"
short answer: yes i am.
long answer: until i walk out of the house swinging these b cups about. Two minutes in and i miss the comfort of my under wire. but it's always too late to go back to my place to put one on so i wing it. it's not comfortable but what trend is?

FYI: i saw inception the night it came out, which is pretty obnoxious but also makes me gleeful.

And last but not least, this song is one of those that i love with my puny little heart but never post on here because i know most people won't take to it as much.
But i'm doing it tonight just to please myself:

So Chicken

attempting to do a quick post before i spend QT with the bf.

I went to see Thee Oh Sees play yesterday at Pier 17. They were pretty amazing but i mostly took pictures of the girls of Golden Triangle.

They had really great style, i'll leave it for you guys to debate:

I really liked their foot wear:

i totally fell in love with this girl, her dress is a lot prettier in person. It was sheer on the sides.

>These Silly bandz have been all over NYC lately:

Here are mine:

What i wore:

wearing gifted motel rock bodysuit and thrifted levi shorts
Overall, the show was pretty incredible, save the fact that some assholes were trashed by 7pm and started slamming themselves into me and getting violent. I've been known to get down and wild but this was over the top. I have huge bruises and welts on my forearm from continually being slammed into the fence.
if you're reading this long-haired blond guy with the red plaid shirt, you are extremely obnoxious and i hope you grow up and learn how to have a good time without getting wasted.


I love Thee Oh Sees!

Fresh &Onlys @ MHOW

i don't know if thinking about meditating was enough or what but i found my usb drive pretty magically. So here are some photos i neglected to post.

Fresh and Onlys were pretty great and so were Woods who played later that night. I didn't get pictures of them because my camera ran out of battery. They made an off color reference to the Rapture before they went on stage. The crowd laughed unsurely.

This was part of the Northside festival i was telling you guys about. For three days Williamsburg and parts of Greenpoint and Bushwick were the center of the indie universe.

Now that i can cross Fresh &Onlys off my list of shows i missed last summer, the next ones are these guys. They're playing here in August.

Zombie, zombie

Lately i've been thinking about taking up meditation again. i really got into it two years back , i don't know why i stopped. I'll tell you why i'm considering it, lately i've been feeling really stressed due to my incredibly packed schedule (too much work too much schoolwork, am moving out and i volunteer) not to mention that i keep trying to see all the soccer games. I keep losing everything and i mean everything . I set something down and then forget where i put it, i've lost my USB drive (oh god, it makes my stomach turn to think of it) and other equally important and valuable things. It's seriously driving me nuts. Every other day i am trashing my room because i've lost one thing or another. Maybe it's just the moving but it's really getting me down and making me feel out of control.

I had some pictures i was going to post that i lost because they were in my drive. blah.

Anyone have any tips ? how not to lose so many things or on meditation?

I feel like if i can clear my mind for a few minutes each day i might feel less rushed or at least i could remember silly things like where i put my glasses.

Thanks to Dirty Betty Vintage for sending me over the most perfect 4th of July dress!

It's lighter than a single dove feather which is ideal because the weather over here is 90+ (farenheit). I wore it with my new platform sandals.

my bf 's bday was earlier last month . i got him that delicious tart i keep telling you about from La Tropezienne. I go mad for that place ! it really is worth going uptown for the price and quality. Even though the owner frequently has a rude attitude towards me, but then again i imagine most people to.

god bless him, he spells it with a "k".



As i mentioned previously, there is a giveaway soon but if you can't wait until then, you can shop Dirty Betty Vintage here.
