hair goals.

natasha ndlovu's locks got me like *drool*..

no flex zone.

they know better.  they know better.

via stop it right now

the new face.

molly posted this editorial a couple of months ago and it pretty much blew my mind.  probably one of the first times i've ever seen natural wrinkling on a young celebrated in a high fashion capacity.  

other than karlie's paris vogue sporty beach editorial earlier this year, this is topping my list of favourite shoots of 2014.

uh oh.

there goes a chunk of my hard-earned cash..

sun dogs.

brandi norwood-blythe, by tim barber.  the colours are amazing.

looks like yaya and i are headed on a whirlwind european tour..  hopefully we'll get some sunshine as nice as this while we're galavanting about!  xx

fresh drama.

vanessa bruno's latest collection, dramatized with kate bosworth.

things i'm super feeling right now, and have been for a while:

• not tweezing my eyebrows
• leather 
• black black black
• lots of eyeliner
• things i could quite possibly put together myself on my sewing machine
• aviators
• jayne, ivania and columbine

you guys may have noticed that i've switched up my photo format.  i was a bit behind the times with my site aesthetic, seeing as i pretty much just use this as a digital inspiration board.  luckily, my friend's sister (who is, hands-down, the dopest 17 year old alive) gave me the heads up told me to get my shit together.  thanks, lou.

a different world.

it's been awhile since i've really felt inspired by anything, so i didn't really feel like i had anything worth posting.

denise huxtable is, without a doubt, the most stylish television character of all time. eff carrie bradshaw, denise is bomb.

paint it black.

so, the fall really hasn't worked out quite the way i had hoped. but, in some respects things seem to have changed for the better.

the holidays are fast approaching and our living room is littered with wrapping paper, bows and lists. it's crazy, but i'm looking forward to chilling out with family and getting cozy/lazy for a bit.

i'm feeling a lot of black, army green, and slim lines right now. pretty much the regular aesthetic but a bit more mature than before. and i want a new tatoo, so i'm working on some designs. we'll see what i come up with.

grey days.

it's getting cold outside. van is super foggy half the time, sunny in the most unexpected moments, and chilly always.

things are getting down to the wire, work-wise. lots of stuff happening. lots of stuff not happening. please vibe the universe for me and help me get the ball rolling. x

hustle bustle.

going through one of those phases where i just don't even know why i have half the shit in my closet that i do. i need some direction. or maybe a trip to london.

remember when tyra looked like this, though? such a down homegirl.

i don't always hate the rain.

definitely get tired of it, though. luckily, it's only the end of september and the rain has just begun to fall so i'm still marveling at the novelty of it.

wore my wellies for the first time in a while, which was fun. i still love puddle-stomping. i'm trying to find a new fall/winter steeze. pretty sure there will be a lot of black involved.

and i totally bought some creepers.
