She's So Cold

High-waist Levis: Thrift   Rings:Vintage 

Summer is finally here and I couldn't be happier! With another semester finished at University, I couldn't help but take advantage of the beautiful weather here in Michigan. Spent some time in the city, rocking my new favorite pair of cutoffs which was perfect for the warm up. I absolutely love high-waist denim but sometimes it gets ridiculous to spend an absurd amount of money on them at department stores, which is why I decided to make my own. I purchased a couple of old pair of Levi denim shorts from a thrift store and cut/distressed them to my liking which came out perfect. The best part is that it only cost me $5! Decided to keep things rocker casual with my Rolling Stones graphic tee, some vintage boots I got in Toronto, my wide brim hat from Free People and a fringe bag from Urban Outfitters. After wondering around I stopped by my new favorite coffee spot, Astro Coffee in Corktown for a refreshing Iced Lemon Ginger Tea and an oatmeal and coconut cookie, which was delicious. With summer officially here, I look forward to more moments in cutoffs while wondering around with wild, unruly hair. Who knows what adventures I'll embark on?

There are certain times in my life when I enjoy the pleasures of being female and wearing this 1950s vintage flared skirt is certainly one of them. Found this beauty at my favorite vintage store, Lost and Found, a couple of months ago and couldn't wait for the weather to break in order to wear it. So feminine and flirty, I couldn't help but feel like I was transfixed in time baking homemade pies and listening to old Billie Holiday and Nina Simone records (though I'd be a lot less domesticated). Decided to pair my lovely skirt with my Guess gold strap pumps and a black body suit  from American Apparel that outlined my body, exposing the frame of my back. Gold drop earrings from Forever21 and silk black and gold outlined clutch from Henri Bendel were the perfect accessories to my timeless look. I absolutely love mixing vintage pieces with more modern wear. There's something so nostalgic about vintage pieces and I'm always fascinated with the story behind it. As cliche as it may sound, I often wonder about the woman who wore it, particularly with this skirt- Did she attend her first dance in it? Or kiss the guy of her dreams for the first time? Although my vintage pieces already have a story, it's something magical about creating my own memories in them.

I've been on a search for a sick leather jacket for some time so when I took a trip a couple of weeks ago to my favorite vintage store, Lost and Found, it was no surprise that this vintage leather cropped biker jacket was the first item I noticed. I love how solid it is, not only in its fit but also exterior, making it the perfect leather biker jacket and my newest baby. My leather lace up vintage boots were the perfect complimentary shoe to the edginess of my jacket. I wanted to add a touch of femininity by opting for a cream lace detailed dress from Forever21 which is so light weight and soft. I love the movement of the dress and it's baby doll structure, which perfectly shows off the legs, making my look flirty and fun. Adding a feather detailed wide brim hat and fringe bag with some vintage rings were great accessories, making me feel ultra cool like i've stepped out of WoodStock. I couldn't help but hear the powerhouse vocals of Janis Joplin or the seductive crooning of Ariel Pink's "Baby" playing in my head as I walked around one of my favorite cities, Ann Arbor. As cliche as it may be, I love the  myriad of brick buildings and walls layered in graffiti of the most vivid colors. It's as if you've entered a pathway of urban art and expression, I couldn't help but become absorbed in it.
