a couple months back i participated in a photo shoot for body politik, where i transformed into a frilly mushroom and danced around in a reconstructed vintage biker jacket.

the story line/inspiration was put to me as…a girl goes into the forest on a spiritual journey and experiences adventures with a medicine {wo}man/shaman, wild animal and psychedelics {Me!-the shroom!}

////take a look at the outcome of a couple chicks with a dream of fashion, needles, fabric dye, a great makeup artist and some aspiring models..

Recently I mentioned a football post was coming and wanted to follow through..although I’m not so sure who all out there will appreciate the school spirit but here goes anways… :>)

From birth I was destined to go to the University of Alabama, mostly due to my parents who are h/u/g/e AL football fans but also because it was where we always called home-Tuscaloosa, AL-when we were moving all over the USA. This year the football team went undefeated to the SEC Championships and beat the Florida Gators and then went on to beat the Texas Long Horns at the BCS National Championships. We also had one of our own, Mark Ingram, win the Heisman Trophy which is a huge honor for everyone. This year’s football season will truly go down in history. Here are some of the outfits I sported while watching my favorite team kick ass///

vintage dress, boots, & shades…anthro tights…and Mom’s Bear Bryant hat.

out at Lake Tuscaloosa

Stopped by my old sorority house, Zeta Tau Alpha, where I partook in old southern tradition for all of one semester before pulling out and doing my own thing…

1st game of the season was next door at the Georgia Dome, we had a tailgate at the house which included blueberry & apple moonshine!

for a different game, DP and I rode our bikes downtown to the Alabama alumni restaurant The Hudson Grille for wings and beer. ride was much easier on the way :>)

sweatshirt//volcom, jeans//F21, boots//vintage, purse//michael kors, shades//vintage

**for laughing purposed only**

mom bought my brothers and I snuggies for Christmas, i must say

…pretty convenient but overall cheap quality.

for the National Championships we battled the snowy weather to catch the game with fellow alumni.

snow ended up getting kinda heavy (for Georgia) and stuck around for about 7 days.

UO jacket, Essential Classics scarf, True Religion Jeans, Aldo boots, vintage Coach purse (found at a hole-in-the-wall junk shop somewhere in Alabama for $2.00!!!)

BCS National Championships 2010!

the mega trophy!

Mom, Dad, Buck & Brad went to Pasadena, CA to see the game…I missed out due to the job but oh well, I’ll be seeing California soon-come April for Coachella!! Line-up announced today and goodnessss-AWESOME!

ok, well I’m done with all the football chit chat, thanks for sticking that through! I did want to share this part of my life, although it only occurs a couple months out of the year the pride is always there. especially if your a winner.

couple weeks back i picked up this quirky eco-friendly magazine by the name of Boho at Whole Foods. the pages, made of 100% recycled paper, were filled with lovely ladies with great style that blew me away. see for yourself///

love.everything.on.every.page.

looks.like.a.future.diy.project.

my my my! what an absence! I’ve been craving the blog world so badly and wanting to catch up with everything like {The Office} Christmas Dinner/Party  

the new job-Force Marketing-hosted a badASS party for the holidays over at Maggiano’s Little Italy in Buckhead. after a four-course meal, open bar, and hilarious video of everyone (including me!) from the office made by the film department..we headed to the W for an after party that was celebrity worthy (…did have Nick Green-of the Boston Red Socks as well as an ex-Playboy Bunny in tow-HA!) &&  drank Grey Goose-on the house-while dancing the night away in super uncomfortable heels. it was FREAKIN awesome, totally wish I could play that night over and over. and completely free!

we both recycled dresses from previous years-mine a handmade vintage piece I found on Ebay a year or two ago. Ashliegh’s came from Urban Outfitters.

the delicious menu-we passed around the dishes “family style” and all shared.

Ashleigh, an old friend and college roommate, actually got me the job at Force-handing my resume over to the right chick and 4 days later I had a job. She just got a promotion and is an Account Exec for the Events team. I am working under the Production Coordinator (also named Jessica) as her personal assistant, helping with all the direct mail orders from printing/proofing/mailing/shipping/ETC…

pretty good gig :)

beginning of December, Dusty surprised me with tickets to The Black Lips NYE show at The Earl in E.A.V.  I immediately thought ‘what am I going to wear?’ && a couple days later found a metallic dress via H&M that was purrrrrrfect! then it was on to the headgear, a crown? a hat? feathers? set off to Little Five Points to hit up Junk Mans Daughter, only to find a closed shop-night of since I like to wait till the last sec-and so I reverted to Psycho Sisters down the block. After much plundering found a hair piece/mini hat that was purrrrrrfect. it had tulle, sequins, feathers, and a vintage touch! fits perfectly on the crown and is easily secured with just one bobbypin.

these pabst blue ribbon balloons were so fun! after the place filled up and the show was going down the crowd was having a ball throwing and kicking them around!!

took the vintage rabbit fur coat out for a spin for its first outing. must say it’s extremely comfortable with silk lining and perfect mobility plus UBER warm-might just have to use it more often (although I feel a little silly in it…)

took some footage of the craziness, check out all the booze flying in the air!

ringing in the new year was a blast!!

looking forward to all the adventures/projects/memories to come, 

ps//thanks for bearing with the slacking posts-will be up2date soon!
