FOREVER21 IS DOING A "COLLECTION" OF RETRO/PINUP/ROCKABILLY INSPIRED LOOKS... AND NOBODY TOLD ME?!?!?!?!??!??!


How did I miss this last time?? I was too busy looking for band jackets. By the way, you're welcome, "Anonymous" ;)

War Sucks. Let's Party.

For anyone who's into retro/vintage/pin-up style:

Harley-Davidson did a pretty neat thing for Veteran's Day. They got model Marisa Miller to do a shoot dressed as a WWII era pin up chick and made the photos into postcards to send off to troops overseas.

They even edited them to make them look all 'old-timey' and vintage.

I think they look really cool.











Almost authentic 1940's looking, no?? Except for the bikes, of course, haha.



Today was such a day of 'time travel'. In school, I got to see AUTHENTIC turn-of-the-century, (I'm talking as far as 1891), ultimate vintage garments that were donated to the fashion program's costume collection. I wasn't allowed to handle them, as most of them were disintegrating before our eyes, but I did get close enough to admire them. The workmanship on these things was insane.

I really wish I had access to a time machine...

Oooh, the periods I'd travel to. The things I'd see...

The things I'd WEAR.





Can't think of anything more fun.

Funny how it feels so good writing something like this.

currently listening to: The Horrorpops - "Keep my Picture!"



I've never really liked or cared for Katy Perry's music... like, at all.

But I'd be lying if I said that I didn't want to raid her closet. I think that she has probably the most amazing sense of style than any of these other chick pop singers ever have.

Some days I feel like I'd love to dress retro/pinup style almost exclusively, (well, you know, at least for the rest of summer), and this girl seems to pull it off so effortlessly that it's definitely inspiring:









Darn her for being so cute!!


I'm in love with these pin up girl shoes from plasticland!:




Oh, and I did find this adorable dress last time I went shopping:




I kind of miss working at a place where I can dress up every day. Boo hoo.
