When I'm working on designs for either school or freelance, I like to watch old movies to keep my creative sparks going! To me films from the 90s-back have a way of telling such a heartfelt story it makes you feel as if you can do ANYTHING and on top of that all the creative work that goes onto these films is so inspiring. Before I know it I have breezed through four movies and yet there's still much to do left. But at least there's still some flicks to watch to keep me motivated through the night.

Last Sunday i watched The Heartbreak kid, new but TBS always have soft comedies, but I only gave it so much of my attention before switching off to two of my childhood faves..Jumanji (baby dunst!!) and Benny &Joon. Something must have struck a cord with me because before I knew it I was dressing up like Johnny Depp and acting like Buster Keaton.

I love the mix of this look...its like 60s, 70s and a taste of masculine 20s. I feel like I stepped of the set of Annie Hall. It feels good to dress for myself again rather than a slew of doctors appointments :/. And Woody Allen films are such great inspiration for me, in fact I think Ill get inspired more tonight and watch a few, dreaming of New York. After watching The Artist I've been dying to see the purple rose of cairo again. So with that I bid you...adieu.

This is my most favorite jacket. I mean it's the best of both worlds (kinda like hannah montana LOL JK) It's half pendleton sweater, half demin jacket. ALL VARISTY. It's kinda like me half & half. Haha! It goes with everything because I make it go with everything. It's so Angela Chase via My So Called Life, I loves it! I loves it with all my heart.

I also got this awesome flower print turtle neck on black friday thrifting. Dave was like " idk, looks a little grandma" obviously he doesn't know I love looking like an old lady AND I knew it would totally be awesome and weird. I've been dying to mix and match pendleton, with floral, & demin! Plus IM WEARING JEANS, how often does this happen? Finally found a pair of high waisted lovers at H&M, despite my "groovy" hair I'm not ready for bell bottoms, and low rise, show my butt and hurt my sensitivo kidneys~ no thanks!

I also wanted to say that the days I am able to wear a hat, I'M ECSTATIC, I normally can't wear hats because of my mane, so when I can, I wear them loud I wear them proud. Back in my straight hair days I used to wear hats nearly everyday, but today the feat is much harder. I'm trying to incorporate more hats in to my wardrobe because I can and it's what bernadette peters would have wanted.

HAPPY FRIDAY YALL, whose got hot hot plans, for once I don't IM EXHAUSTED. Might go see the lights at the zoo though, we'll see....

(ps i made my pics smaller, i felt like they were a little too big ...what do u think?? :D)
