the girl with the cat tattoo

scored a very Alexa Chung worthy vintage Talbots dress at Rag-O-Rama i’ve been wanting to style and wear out. the velvet is actually stretchy and the fit is super comfy just didn’t want to look too “Wednesday Adams” which isn’t necessarily at bad thing it’s just not typically my thing. when i was shopping and found the dress i was with a guy friend who actually made the suggestion to belt it, which was GENIUS because it really toned down the gothic vibe i was trying to avoid. take a peep at some photos i took at my new loft:

if so, you may recognize the above lil sketch called “sharp rocks” and well, now i have it tattoo’d on my right foot! the above pic was taken with my mom’s cell immediately after it was finished so it’s super puffy but it’s now basically healed. by referral i went to Charles at Only You Tattoo in Grant Park who was really nice and did a great job! thanks dude!

my new friend is sure to pop up in more posts, stay tuned for a healed photo!

is it me or does this have EVERYTHING you need in your life right now?!
leather a’plenty-CHECK. natural stones-CHECK. caged garments-CHECK. pops of neon-CHECK.
faux fur-CHECK.  tough boots-CHECK.
yep, it’s safe to say this season is sexy!
don’t know why but it seems like every single one of my posts lately has been on Wednesday-for what reason-i have no clue. perhaps i just like you say:
have a great HUMP DAY!

NYE: in a blog shell

no, I am not just now recovering from celebrating New Years Eve but am recovering from celebrations + trips to and from Bamaland + MOVING into my new loft. as I haven’t had access to the internet-as usual-I’m just now getting to sharing my night in Athens ringing in 2012! slightly embarrassing that’s its January 11th, but I’m a busy working lady, what can I say :)
NYE is one of my favorite holidays, second to Halloween so I always go BIG and it usually involves music. this year was no exception- four lady friends and I traveled to Athens, GA for the Reptar show at the Georgia Theater. Kat, Sarah and I recently sang backup for one of their songs on the new record so it was extra special fun times! Katherine’s brother is the keyboardist giving us VIP status for the night, I can honestly say this year’s celebration will be HARD TO BEAT!
see for yourself:
