Fashion Inspiration - Joanna Newsom

You either love or hate her music, but you cant deny the girl has style. Joanna Newsom looks like a wood elf. Her voice is swooping and cat-like in the best possible way, I think. And her songs are just amazing. She certainly has a special way with words.
Example of her wonderful lyrics (Emily):

"And everything with wings is restless, aimless, drunk and dour
The butterflies and birds collide at hot, ungodly hours
And my clay-colored motherlessness rangily reclines
Come on home, now! All my bones are dolorous with vines"

Viva Mexico!

Today is Mexico's Independence Day! I thought it was a good time to post some pictures of my trip to Mexico this summer.

                                            Guadalajara, Jalisco









Pet Food.

Those are my fake glasses. They have awful glare.

Me and my sister.







My second day in Guadalajara, it rained so hard, the streets were flooded. I mean flooded. It looked like we were driving through a lake. It was very nerve-racking.



             Guanajuato, Guanajuato










A lovely dancing couple.










             San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato


                    Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato



My favorite shoes.

     Sayulita, Nayarit



Lots of pictures of windows and doors, because they are cool. Most from Guanajuato.










         I have such great memories of Mexico. It has a special place in my heart, and it always will. I was going to stay there for my last year of high school, but I freaked out while taking a test, and I lost my nerve. Maybe I will go to university there, for a year. After I perfect my Spanish reading and writing skills, anyway.

Fashion Inspiration - Natasha Khan a.k.a. Bat for Lashes

This woman is my idol. Everything she does, I adore. Her style is amazing, and her music and voice are just magic.
Those shorts Ms. Khan... I want them.

Here's her singing Wilderness. It's one of her lesser-know songs, and it's beautiful.
