to make a long story short, classic rock consumes me. not
the drugs and promiscuous lifestyle, the travel and the stage, the fame and
fortune. but, the way the truth lies right there in the lyrics. the way the
artists souls sit still in the air and turn your silent surroundings into an
intimate moment with your own self. whenever led zeppelin, acdc, the eagles, fleetwood mac, the rolling stones, lynyrd skynyrd, journey, and all the rest
come through my speakers (which is often if not always) i am free, alive. i am
home. theres a certain nostalgia, this hidden understanding. and yet,
simultaneously, something entirely unknown, that innate desire that comes with
distance from something you love, which surfaces all at once. and with this look i wanted to capture
that honest and uninhibited sense of truly being in a moment and appreciating
the deep energetic pull of that one song and the way it has the ability to
leave you empty, satisfied, full of thoughts and speechless all at the same time. the simple black high-low tank that caught the breeze beautifully, especially paired with
the ankle boots emitted vitality and this pair of floral mini shorts is one of
my favorite spring finds, bringing a pop or print and pastel color. i challenge you to channel your inner penny lane, but dont you dare tell me im too sweet for rock n roll.
top-similar ($30 nasty gal)
shorts-similar ($20 forever 21)
shoes-similar ($30 just fab)
p.s. thank you to emily of emily magers photography. you are to
capturing the beauty in all moments what rock and roll is to music. irreplaceable. when mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and
me. like her fb page here. and be sure to visit wednesday because she will finally be stepping out from behind the camera and guest posting!
CHERISHED COMMENTER OF THE WEEK

smile to my face with her quick kind words, which dont just compliment my
looks but my site as a whole and her unyielding support is significantly
appreciated, but even more so, her stunning style. such a classic, elegant, and
timeless take on todays trends deserves a turn in the spotlight to say the
least. she is one of those rare true beauties, a sweetheart and one of my most favorite followers. thank you pretty, for not only reading my posts but for paying attention and
always taking the time to tell me your thoughts.
