† Wild Horuses

 

 

Oh my gosh, I just made a (TERRIBLE) pun from the Eye of Horus. Is that the worst thing I've ever done? It is, right? Forgive me for the indignity, ancient beings of Egypt.

Super quick outfit snaps from when I was in California over the weekend. Definitely the best picture of my so-called signature clear heeled JC's to date. I love those shoes to death, let it be known. I wore them all day as I traipsed around the Villa Getty museum and had no foot pain regret. If you're in the LA area and haven't been to the Villa Getty, definitely go check it out. If I hadn't done so much other cool stuff, it could easily be the highlight of my trip. Free admission, $15 to park your car.

Most importantly is this Freak of Nature midi skirt! Can I get an "AWWW, YEAAAH!"???

† Oh, Well

 

I thought I was being clever by putting together these two pieces, lolllll. Do you guys get it??? Wanted? Peace signs? MAKE LOVE NOT WAR?

I can't say enough good things about this Freak of Nature sweater -- it's soft and fringey and breathable and every time I wear it people are like, "....... Oh my gosh, your sweater." Not in the "..... oh my gosh, your clothes" way that I get sometimes where they're not necessarily complimenting it, just taking the time to note that whatever I have on is weird/unusual/bizarre and the only way they can get it across in a socially acceptable way is by framing it as a compliment. Sometimes "your shoes are really cool!" means that my shoes are cool, and sometimes it means "dude your shoes are bizarre how are they even things that you put on your feet." 

I want to be like Lady Gaga -- let me explain before you roll your eyes -- where no one really sees what she wears anymore, just that she's Gaga and she probably has something weird on and that's neat and she's Gaga. She has transcended above her own self-created image and I just cannot get over how cool that is.

Freak of Nature, Latest and Greatest

A few weeks ago I spazzed out about a new line, Freak of Nature, and its knock-out designer, Vanessa Kortlang. She's been making waves since then -- Topshop is going to debut some stuff in early May, and there's a bunch of new pieces out on Asos.


This stuff is killer. Check it out.





Look for Freak of Nature on Facebook, and shop it at ASOS and Yayer.

† Girls in Bands Make Great Fashion.

It was LIGHT OUTSIDE when I walked to work this morning. Usually it's still dark when I get there, but today we had sun! I'm willing to bet tomorrow we'll have sun too. I think it's a thing now. A thing where the sun comes out at a proper time.

It also means that everything is melting which is awesome because I can commence wearing clothes I like. It gets cold here in the winter and I bundle up. No one wants to see pictures of me dressed like an alpaca.

I've been scouting brands to put on my wishlist, and my favorite I've come across so far is Freak of Nature. 

Freak of Nature is the style child of Vanessa Kortlang, launched August 2012 and picked up to be stocked on the ASOS website right away. The brand's Facebook page is right here and is obviously too hot for life.

They describe themselves as:
Straddling the line between glamour and grunge with a huge dose of in your face attitude, FREAK OF NATURE is inspired by the darker side of counter culture.


Perfect, basically. Here are some of my favorite pieces stocked by ASOS:
