There Are Better Things To Do

This week has been pretty crazy. I spent most of it working and doing laundry. My husband left for his tour yesterday, so I am kinda lonely, but my friends are doing their best to keep me company. Here are a few photos from my week....

Loki Doki, the sassiest pup you'll ever meet.

Duo Maxwell, hates his picture taken, especially while sleeping.

1st piece of artwork I've actually purchased for my home. I've been looking for something to go on my huge living room wall...only took 4 years.

This is one of my go to outfits, especially for work. I love those tights so much I bought 3 pairs.

Cardigan: Aerie (I love that store!)

Tee: Eisley band tee

Shorts: Roxy

Tights: black poppy (pacsun)

shoes: black poppy (pacsun)

hat: american eagle (old school)

latte: sugar browns

There are my tired feet and garden shoes after a long day. But it was a good day for a BBQ.

My friend Calleycakes is a badass and got this super cute edgy hair cut. I love it and it looks awesome on her!

You Tell Me I Am A "Myth"

The 1920's have always been my favourite decade. I recently discovered Louise Brooks.

Brooks is considered one of the first naturalistic actors in film, her acting being subtle and nuanced compared to many other silent performers. The close-up was just coming into vogue with directors, and her almost hypnotically beautiful face was perfect for this new technique. Brooks had always been very self-directed, even difficult, and was notorious for her salty language, which she didn't hesitate to use whenever she felt like it. In addition, she had made a vow to herself never to smile on stage unless she felt compelled to, and although the majority of her publicity photos show her with a neutral expression, she had a dazzling smile.

“You have brought peace to my last years.

For 69 years I have been frantically searching for myself.

And now you tell me that I am a “myth”.

What a blessing.

Henceforth, I shall disintegrate comfortably in bed with my books, cigarettes, coffee, bread, cheese, and apricot jam.

Regards - Louise Brooks”

Louise Brooks in correspondence with Guido Crepax, 1976.

I actually bought this magazine recently not realizing it was Lulu on the cover.

Here is a pic of me the day I got my hair cut. I am thinking of dyeing it a bit darker for fall.

Who/what are you inspired by?
