To Farrah, My Hair Hero

It was during college that I watched the original 'Charlie's Angels.' Coming from sporting a bob my entire life, Farrah's bangs and waves ignited the determination to actually grow my hair long. Five years and a couple renditions later, I still name Farrah as the key inspiration behind the 'swoop.' Ms. Fawcett, you and your luscious locks will be missed.

Because it would be wrong not to...

I remember at a young age attempting (and failing miserably) at the 'Thriller' dance. His dance moves may not have stuck with me, but his dedication to personal style and individuality did. And to that, I take off my sequined hat to you, Mr. Jackson.

If you love small shiny things even a fraction as much as I do, you will begin to salivate when I tell you about the amazing sample sale at nOir Jewelry. Jen, looking flawless and completely calm in a sea of frenzied editors, stylists and GaGa wannabes, pointed me to the direction of a couple marvelous pieces. I now have a diamond bow to adorn my finger in addition to pyramid arm cuffs (just to mention a couple of my steals). Read Noir's blog here (noirjewelery.com), written by our own Sassy Kitten.

Music to my ears.

Oh hello.

I know I've been away for a minute but it's for quite the valid reason. Again, I've been exploring the playground known as my neighborhood and am trying to store up lots of yummy stories to share with you boys and girls.

With that being said, I've gone back to my roots and begun to attend my fair share of musical events otherwise known as 'concerts.' A couple of weeks ago, I joined PS in a glorious Saturday of puddle and concert hopping alike. The L Magazine hosted the 'Northside Festival' giving local musicians, restaurants and boutiques a platform to spotlight their many talents. Between a delicious Croque Monsieur and a plethora of taco consumption, we enjoyed the tunes of Darlings and Drink Up Buttercup. See the full line up here (http://www.northsidefestival.com/schedule/) and be a little jealous that I was there and you weren't.

The following weekend (last Friday), I attended the Secret Machines show at Santos Party House. Knowing Santos is infamous for its sound system, I was oh so eager to hear one of my favs play at a better venue than the Annex, which was at best a defunct performance. The trio more than made up for it expanding on their already lengthy serenades from their newest album 'Atomic Heels.'

I feel jazzy just re-capping it.

Cinderella and Sequins: Oh My

While parusing through University of East London's Graduate Show photos online today, I came across two looks that, had I been wearing socks today, they would have been knocked across the city. Below are my two favorite looks. Between the extreme Cinderella silhouette and the multitude of sequins I don't know which one is my favorite. Enjoy!
