Fall '11 LUST LIST

I suck at blogging, yes, but who reads this anyway? 


My birthday is in a MONTH! WOW I'm getting old. I can't believe it. Time flies. So I'm digging up cool stuff and here's a few of my favorite things I just got, am being inspired by and buying... eeeks!

new moccasins from Target (!!!) I love them so much.

Just saw this cardigan in Cosmo.

 I have one like it, but it looks so COZY!

Snapped this at Buffalo Exchange in Long Beach.

Earring design? YES

Short lived awesome ring I picked up for $4 on clearance

 @ Urban Outfitters but lost :( I suck with jewelry!

UO arrow ring // 

I'm obsessed with anything Navajo/Mayan inspired and it warms my

heart to tell you that my boss is working on Aztec designs :)

This pistol is one of our casting parts at work,

I'm totally getting matching necklaces for my girls

(Black Keys 10 cent pistol anyone? ;)

I am also a sucker for novelty pieces. C'mon, how fun are these!

(also @ Urban) 

And who can resist a cute stache?? LOVE IT

...and I can't stop listening to Getting Paid by Zech's Marquise. They are ridiculously talented boys (3 younger brothers of Mars Volta's Omar Rodriguez Lopez) and this CD doesn't leave my car. Check them out please :)

birthday lust list

well well well... it's that time of year! one week until my day of birth! I'm not too phased by age or numbers and I have always said 25 was the scary number for me and I'm glad to be leaving it. 26 sounds like a rounder, more mature age. Plus it's been kind of an intense year and I am more than happy to put it behind me. My mom asked me yesterday what I wanted and I started to think..... what DO I want? hmmmm.....

deffo need a new blackberry!! can't decide which to get

I'm waiting on my gf to secure a job so we can move into a lust worthy apartment... I'm participating in adventures in craigslist playing subletter. It is fun... I do love my current spot but I'm going to have to find a new one soon. So, stress is setting in and I'm dreaming of a permanent home with someone I can come home to, relax with and gossip over a glass of wine with. That's all that is going on for now. Summer has been great, keeping me busy. Work is good, keeping me even more busy and excited. I am feeling more and more settled and secure with the knowledge that I have a career and a passion, not just a day job. It's really rewarding doing something I love. Life is a little chaotic but I am having fun and reconnecting with old friends and family. I am truly blessed.

HELP!

The summer concert series has officially begun! I swear, my Tuesday 10 Things will be a full summer low down. I've been so busy at work! But I have 2 days to get a fab outfit for Monday night's Kings of Leon show at the Hollywood Bowl. Melissa and I raced down to San Diego after work last night for the show and it was soooo worth it. They are amazing and the new stuff is great! I can't wait to see them at home with my gals. So ladies, I need your help. A B or C? C seem more appropriate for a rock show, yet A look more comfortable and like I'd give them more use. Get in your vote ASAP!

I went to the mall yesterday and stumbled upon the new Ray Ban frames... holy cow I am in love! I have been wanting to buy a black pair of wayfarers and I'm glad I had to wait so long... I'm going to scoop these puppies up sooon!

I also saw another pair that looked really good on me... but do I need 3 pairs of designer sunnies? They were marked down to $40! If I go back next week and they're still there... it's meant to be so we'll leave it to fate.

I am also lusting over summer travel... I am used to bouncing back and forth from coast to coast so being in one side for so long has me feeling cabin fever! Isn't that weird? So I am looking at tour dates, flights.... etc. I'll leave that list for my Tuesday 10 things. ;)


Tonight I am going to see Matt Embree's Love You Moon at the El Rey. The show is on Tuesday :D LOL! ooops! I can't wait. He's amazing and oh-so sexy! I love his voice and his stage swagger. I am excited. Must charge my camera.

Last, I am super, madly crazy in lust with Gaga! LOVELOVELOVE her... love her style, love her brain, love her moves. I can't stop watching the Alejandro video. Some great outfits, some great dancing... I can't take it. Here's a pic from her Telephone video, very 4th! Happy Holiday, enjoy it and be safe!

Summer is coming and I've got two things on my MUST DO (D.I.Y.) list. 

I came across this adorable Italian blogger (internodiciotto) and noticed she made herself some Chloe-inspired shorts! How brilliant!! I just love how feminine and flirty the edges are. 

I am a huuuge Chloe Sevigny fan and she is a very appropriate face for the brand... I love seeing her in the commercials, I think she is fresh and fun. I also love her acting... she is such a nut on Big Love. I love her and Ginnifer Goodwin.

I'm going to be on the hunt for some perfect jeans to cut up for this!

I saw this Hermes ad (I think) in Vogue first but today I saw it in my new Allure magazine (which inspired me in more ways than one... and I also actually saw a jewelry piece I did for one of my contract jobs... exciting!) anyway, in Allure they gave you a how-to guide on the hair do.  

I've been collecting scarves at street fairs for a while now, I have a really beautiful Oscar de la Renta scarf as well as three Vera Wang scarves. The funny thing is I really just pick the scarves that catch my eye and they turn out to be designer. I guess I am in the right field!


So I might try this look this weekend... I have a long white/blue scarf that would be perfect. Maybe we'll go to the Bleeker Street Fair on Sunday so I can pick up some boyfriend jeans for my other project :)


HAPPY WEEKEND everyone! xo

Lust.

I dream of me wearing you poolside in Las Vegas. I wish. xo
