back in the “day” there was a super mega dance party over in Decatur, GA called Decatur Social Club. while this was before my times in ATL the mastermind, Preston, has revived the scene a couple of times in recent months. first with the “Reunion” party and then last month with the “Fall Revival” throwdown. many friends and i attended the event, first hitting up ABV Gallery for Iain Macarthur’s showing of his “Entrance” mash up.

jeggingz!
love these acid-washed jeggings from H&M, so comfy and stretchy. however, i did buy some gray dye and plan to give them a new look, the light wash is just too light for me. will show the final product!

snapshot from my family vacation to Alligator Point, FL. this trip was bittersweet, you see, we normally go to Gulf Shores, AL but due to the oil spill we had to change our plans at the last minute :(( still a great trip filled with laughter ((as usual with my family)) and LOTS && LOTS of fishing!

the roomie and i from the Electroport Aztec party at MJQ! i made our hair pieces from various feathers i’ve collected, the big brown one i’m wearing i actually found in New York at a music festival. my friend thought it was really gross that i was picking up a feather and keeping, but that is def not the grossest found object i’ve kept-hehe!
both Ashleigh’s and my outfits are mine && vintage

in the old neighborhood i wore this out to grab coffee, the first time i think i actually wore this dress after having for a long time. which i tend to do, such a clothes hoarder!
dress: small boutique, moccasin wedges: Chinese Laundry, purse: Lucky Brand
DSCN0229
this is the same dress from the dark photo ((#2)) different night and styled differently, it will most likely be around some more in the winter time since it is a little thick. this night some friends and i went to Eyedrum a:
non-profit organization developing an interdisciplinary approach to the arts by incorporating a wide range of contemporary art, music and new media in its gallery space.
pretty cool spot indeed! everything i’ve already shared where it came from but the suede headband is from H&M ((think it was $2.99!!))

packed a pb&j sandwich picnic and hung out at Kareem’s bike shop-LOOSE NUTS CYCLES-one summer afternoon in the above get-up. this mural was painted for a nearby homemade popsicle vendor that goes by “King of Pops” his flavors are anything but average and out-of-this-world NOMMY!
top: insight, jorts: vintage Levis, sneakers: UO, sunnies: by Keirin bikes ((thanks bebe!)) backpack: vintage Kenneth Cole, pompoms: Natural Life
IMG_0901
another snap from Alligator Point. the water was not brown as it appears here but since im so extremely pale and added a little color ((letting you all in on a secret!!!)) it turned a dirty shade. we actually did some snorkeling further out and found some very interesting creatures, i was terrified of sharks-since we WERE catching them feet away from where we were swimming-but i had the parentals looking out for us!
bathing suit && hat: H&M, sunnies: Marc by Marc

this is the night i was introduced to my boyfriend.. i bet this dress is what stole his heart! originally purchased for HARD music festival in LA ((feat. Crystal Castles, Rusko, and lots more!)) but since i bailed out on moving to Cali i choose to wear it to LazerBeamKitty and then to Decatur Social Club Reunion: what a night!!
dress: Bill Hallman, bag: vintage Kenneth Cole, necklace: designed by Pretty Pink Poo, boots: vintage

this truly is just the “tip of the iceberg” when it comes to unpublished photos, i am so behind and really hope you all can bear with my catching up. there is lots more coming up and i fully intend on posting more often..
thinking that 2 posts a week is good, what do you all think?? don’t want to overload but always want to keep your attention-your opinion is much appreciated!

a glamourous graduation celebration!

no1
my very good friend, Kristie Jo graduated back in May and i traveled to Bamaland to celebrate her “glamourous graduation celebration!”
no2
she is one crafty lady and i thought her entryway was just adorable! her duplex ((she has since moved)) was soooo awesome, this little side bathroom had an exterior sink, and there were many other quirky details we both loved!
no3
party favor//
no4
my present was a unicorn pinata filled with candy && glamours rings! also some other glam rings for the “specials” and a mask so she couldn’t peek when beating the hell out of poor Charlie ((what we named the little gal..))
no5
another entry way in her place, the hangings are actually part of a costume ((see below)) called a “Sound Suit” that she created for a class in which she also preformed in…after a couple of beers she put it on and gave every a show they’d never forget!
no6
she also made the pants out of about a 1,000 different patches, isn’t she amazing?!?!
no7
a gift she received from her cousin, glowing garden mushrooms-ah-jealous!

like any glamourous lady should, KJO changed about 3 times, and as always i loved each one! ((all vintage!!))
no10
the cutest sparkly girly around! her asymmetrical hair is so unique, much like her style. love//
no11
we each had on about 10 rings apiece! and none of them fit on our fingers, but who cares! these plastic party glasses are so cool, kristie found them at our favorite thrift store and they actually come apart and turn into HORNS! so you drink champagne, and then you can tootTOOT ((we think they are especially great for New Years Eve, that way when the clock strikes midnight you can ring in the new year!! such a steal!!))
no12
post-attack, still looking adorbs!
no13
mom snapped these photos before the hair feel. i didn’t know what i was going to be wearing to the party so i just brought a couple different things and then planned when i arrived….well i didn’t have any other good//comfy shoes options so these had to work. got them years and years ago and haven’t worn since around then…don’t know why exactly, guess the color?? but i really do adore, they are fun. but yea, kinda just had to piece together what i could and this is what came about. i was happy with it. esp my hair! i 1/2 rolled 1/2 hand curled and it turned out so fluffy.
no14
mom bought me these leggings for Christmas and this was the first time they got out, mostly because i’ve been afraid of the inner sequins getting rubbed off..and they are not lined so a little itchy BUT totally worth it…she found them at Steinmart, also a steal.
