Summer Playlist

Why is is that summer just makes everything seem different? Its impossible to get anything done, so why not grab a drink and jam out? Have any summer songs I should hear? Tell me in comments.

Sulking on the porch- in sytle!

Sunnies are vintage.

Pins are too much fun. I was hanging around Milwaukee's east side the other day (The old bohemian district, for those not from Milwaukee and who don't know the neighborhoods), incompetently applying for jobs, and I swear to god every girl there was a brunette with bangs and a jean jacket. I was like, well, fuck, at least mine is huge and covered in pins.  The Togepii one is from m Hotpop, in the Third Ward. Check them out, all their stuff is great and their pins are all hand made. It's like a tumblr made into a store. The rest are from garage sales, or I found them in a box in my closet. I recomend looking for pins in antique stores and junk shops, they always have some good weird ones.

Necklace is a yak bone mala I bought from tibetan monks who came to my college. guiatine shirt  from Bastille days. 

Old 60s copy of Rabbit Run. Pretty and sulky- perfect for my life.

Buyin all the records from the charity shop

For best results, play this blog post with Agincourt by tullycraft.
Ok, so like most gradua-ish english majors trying to keep busy and stay pretentious, i've taken up buying vinyl. Right now, all I have are the records that my mom and cousin collected that have stayed with my fisher price record player, and a few i've thrifted in the past months. I loooove the old kid's album covers. They're all the things I love, retro, strange, filled with animals, and brightly colored. Well, except cinderella, she's quite pastel. but I still love her. (not really. Cinderella is just ok. She was the original theme of my room back when I was four though. Hence the purple walls.). It super kills me that I don't have the shopping bag that came with the partridge family album.

New bullshit trend- everythings coming up armadillos!

I fucking love how a good necklace makes it seem kind of like you give a fuck about your clothes even when its cold and you're wearing a tank top and incredibly dirt skinnies because ugg, laundry is hard and who cares anyways it's raining again.

Anyone have name ideas? 

This strange, hand made, ceramic armadillo necklace is my favorite thing ever for days when I'm completely out of outfit inspiration. With a weird peice like this, I can totally play that I kept my outfit simple to highlight it, not just because that's the only shirt left in the drawer. Which really fits into my lifestyle.

I wish I knew who made it and why it got left in a thrift store in Plymouth where there is a total lack of armadillo themed anything. But that's half the fun of thrifting, that everything is vaguely mysterious and strange. The other half the fun of buying this was getting the sales woman to come to the case and going "I need the armadillo necklace" With way too much enthusiasm.

Random Fashion Icons- La La Loopsy

Recently I wound up skulking around a super walmart conspiciously taking tons of pictures everywhere and talking shit about cereal mascots with another student from my gender studies class. While gathering photos of how brands cater to different genders and races and mocking the dress up set with a pink fake toaster, we noticed the adorable LaLaloopsy display. They were our demonstration of a toy done right, with many dolls of ambiguous racial identity, non sexualized bodies and awesome sets like a roller coaster and a rock band. I also couldn't help but notice that her style game was completely on point.

"Silly Hair" os code for runway ready, right?

See? So much more fashionable than my old Barbies with giant pink palm tree earrings and matching tree dress. The cute fit and flare dress, the socks and mint flats, the perfect blunt bangs and blush! Not to mention the extra hair accessories that include button hair clips, which I need to DIY right now. Now add the matching pet, tons of hair option, and the slight creep factor of her button eyes and I kind of want to die and then force my cat into an adorable bow and take pictures matching it. God, I am so super jealous of this doll.
