Gifts of Song

photographer unknown

For a few days now, I've been thinking, "I haven't heard Halestorm on the radio in a while."  I'm a total car music junkie, so I've been meaning to buy their album sometime.  I get a little crazy when I have my favorite music on.  No hands, air guitar, singing really badly with the windows down.

Today,  I was kind of glum, and then "It's Not You" came on WMMR!  I was stoked, to say the least.  By then, I was jamming in the parking lot of the nearest WalMart and thinking music is truly a gift.  Lord knew I needed to hear an encouraging female voice today (and she's a sick guitarist too).  Keep making music Lzzy!

Olga Road - A Path Less Traveled

Olga Road is producing some top notch pieces with a granola ethic - recycling.  Each bike-ready jacket is crafted (in the U.S.A.) from up-cycled leather material.  So, give those marshmallow shaped, bat wing-sleeved thrift store jackets a second glance.  In the hands of Olga Road, they could become go-to pieces.

As seen on Sea of Shoes:

Dyed with Romace

I was working on my bleach technique the other day (still in progress) and thought of Laced with Romance Vintage.  I always find their pieces inspiring, especially the Dust and Drag line.

This one is actually suede!^

Just listed these on Etsy.  More items to come!

Ovate-tion

Audrey Cantwell could have desinged the wardrobe for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.   The upcoming film features heroine Lisbeth Salandar decked out in leather, black and grey. 

Although Ovate makes a statement, like Salandar, the pieces are not quite over the top.  Any woman who dares would incorporate Ovate's paneled leather leggings into her wardrobe.    

The collection marriages art and toughness, featuring carefully crafted knits, chiffon, and leather.  Some pieces actually remind me of Nine Inch Nails stage wear back in the 90s.
