Farewell Fair One

blouse and armor ring: F21, shorts and shoes: charlotte russe, ruffle socks: target, bracelet: vintage

So here is the promised outfit post. I wore this to go to dinner with some girlfriends, and i love the ruffle socks!  But honestly, it is really hard to wear socks with open-toe heels, I was sliding all over the place.  My daddy took these lovely pictures, and I'm still getting the hang of posing and not being awkward in front of the camera, so just bear with me!  

On another note, guess who I'm seeing in concert with S tomorrow........

  

Mumford and Sons!  I am so excited!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, I have loved receiving all of your comments!

It's Mystical

(via yayeveryday, ryan mcginley, tattoos, litter)

Aren't these photos just utterly enchanting?  As a self proclaimed Harry Potter dork, (ya, I know), that tattoo is absolutely fantastic!  The campfire reminds me of my summer nights at camp, or the bonfires we used to throw on friend's farms in high school.

My Arid Love

(via Soko zine issue 4)

This editorial from the fourth issue of Soko zine, shot by Manolo Campion, reminds me how much I love the desert.  I think my heart belongs there, where it's earthy and vast and my hair doesn't frizz.  Today it is rainy in my old Kentucky home, semi rainforest status.  Time to escape out west, perhaps?  It's a good thing I don't have to venture out into this muggy weather until late at night when I work, so I can curl up all day with my puppy!

D*I*Y stud pocket shorts!

The studded pocket shorts/pants have been all over the blogosphere as of late, so I decided to do my first DIY in honor of this wildly popular trend!

You'll need:

an old pair of shorts or pants

a pair of scissors

studs (amount needed will vary depending on the size of the pocket, but I ended up only using about 50)

needle nose pliers

Start by taking your scissors and cutting down one of the outside seams of your chosen back pocket, creating the flap that will expose the inside of the pocket. 

Press studs into the exposed inner pocket.

Flip the shorts/pants inside out and make sure all prongs have penetrated the fabric. 

                             

To secure studs, push all prongs firmly down against fabric using needle nose pliers.  Make sure no studs remain sticking out to avoid painful poking.

Et voila! These are still a work in progress, as not all of the exposed inner pocket has been studded, but you can bet that once they are completed they will be a serious summer staple!
