today has been: rain rain rain, delicious take-out pho, 'lost' on dvd, and endless internet browsing. i love the rick owens jacket so much - i am not normally a big fan of jean, but i totally approve of the way it's used here. add leather and peaked shoulders to anything and i'll probably love it. the ankh necklace speaks for itself - fascinated by any and everything to do with ancient egypt. the belt is just one of those perfect pieces that i always need but can never find. and duh -- jeffrey campbell forever.
so, this is my best friend jessica emerald (aka wife, witch sister, fig, angelcot) modeling for luxury jones, a previously portland-based, GORGEOUS clothing line designed by the darling nichole dimitras. she has since relocated to california (it seems that everyone is sick of our little rose city) and beyond being fucking amazingly talented she is one of the sweetest women i've ever met. go to her website (LUXURY JONES) look at her stunning collection, and lust after every last piece. i certainly do.
also: look at those platforms!!! fucking a-maz-ing.
additionally, i am totally coveting this jacket.

while having a weird day about a week ago i told my fiance that i wanted to dye my hair black. his immediate reaction was horror - it would be so overwhelming! it was something i wanted to do simply because i wear a lot of black, not because it would actually improve my appearance! luckily (for everyone) my dearest friend had already pretty much talked me off the ledge. but ever since then i have been thinking of doing something to my hair. and today i feel like that something is: going blond.
it appeals to me for a lot of reasons -- a) i was blond in highschool, so i know what it looks like, b) my hair is light enough to plausibly get it very blond in just a few treatments, and c) i wouldn't have to dye my brows as well!
my fiance and i recently did a photo shoot for a local salon, and i am currently kicking myself for not asking them to do it FOR FREE beforehand. but, as i am sure everyone does, i have quite a few talented friends in the industry -- if this desire sticks around long enough i will consult with them. we shall see! it could be a nice change for summer.
I SO DESPERATLEY WISH THIS WAS A PHOTO OF ME & MY FRIENDS IN HIGHSCHOOL.
i am going to make an admission: i bite my fingernails. all the time, like crazy. it's my worst "bad habit" - the others being eating dessert for breakfast and spending way too much time (obviously) playing on the internet. i have, over the years, tried everything i can think of in order to stop - bitter nail polish, lavender on my fingertips in an attempt to calm down, and just plain concentration - nothing has worked. so! my new plan is to buy myself a bunch of beautiful rings - hopefully the fear of people actually looking at my hands via my jewelry will be enough to make me stop. i currently have my beautiful engagement ring and some vintage pieces, along with a few from forever 21 that i like ... but lets be realistic. they are from forever 21, they turn my fingers green, and there are way more lovely rings out there.
both of the ones above are from pamela love, obviously a crowd favorite, and with good reason. i adore the cage ring! it really is perfect for someone with smaller hands like me - i love longer/larger rings, but have a hard time with them fitting comfortably because my fingers are TINY.

these are by dominic jones and are fucking AMAZING. his whole collection for a/w 10-11 is animalistic and totally entrancing - who doesn't want their fingers engulfed in beetle or claw rings? no one i know.
and finally (plus way more realistically) there's this pyramid ring from oak. at only $28.00 it is totally affordable, beyond being the perfect basic piece. hopefully i'll be able to order it in the next few days - sometimes it's the little things, you know?
this dress by mara hoffman is the first summery/brightly printed thing i've seen that i might actually wear. thinking about it with my totally beat up combat boots almost makes me excited for the sweltering days ahead. almost!
