photos - Sugarhigh lookbook (by way of Spell)

I love these photos from the Sugarhigh lookbook.  The  model's red/fuscia hair with the turquoise braid wraps looks amazing.

Last fall, I bought an epic fringy suede coat.  At $50, and real suede, it was a steal in my favorite goodwill.

I've been away far too long.  These days, my Writing for Children course, amongst other things, is keeping me busy.  It is pulling the best stories out of me yet.  I spend hours every day typing.  Expect mostly picture posts for a while.

It's a Mood Thing

I love mood rings.  What other accessory changes throughout the day?  I'm a girl who needs to be able to alter things around me.  That's why my happiest hobbies involve my hands.  I also like to learn and explore.  Midnight, morning, and afternoon, I always have questions.  So, any jewelry that constantly evolves, and supposedly moves with my moods, is exciting.  On Etsy I found this gorgeous necklace by My Thunderstood.  It is a collection of mood stones and classic pen tips.  It touches on my love: writing <3.

Gifts of Song

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!^
