I saw these Michael by Michael Kors boots in person while shopping and almost bought them on the spot, but sadly, I do not really need another pair of black boots.I love how the faux fur cuff gives them and eclectic feel while the studs add bit of toughness to the sleek body of the boot.
This jacket by 3.1 Phillip Lim is amazing. It is also way out of my budget, but I can still look at the photos of it and drool.$1,750 at netaporter.com
Last Friday night I attended a special Friday night two-year anniversary edition of the Lix and Kix Poetry reading. The Lix and Kix reading is always a blast, and the show on friday was the best poetry reading I have ever attended. Lix and Kix is a once a month reading at the Bela Dubby Art Gallery and Beer Café in Lakewood Ohio. John Burroughs and Dianne Borsenik who host the reading are both fabulous poets.
You can find more information on it here. The featured poets Puma Perl, Alex Nielsen and Smith & Lady were all amazing and great examples of what modern poetry is like. Their poetry is realistic, beautiful, gritty, intelligent and soul bearing. When I mention to people I write and read poetry a lot of people have the notion that a reading consists of something akin to a bunch of old people sitting around in three piece suits drinking tea and reading poems about the weather or some other sleep worthy topic. The high energy Lix and Kix reading would definitely change their minds. The laid-back atmosphere is friendly and a t-shirt and jeans will be just fine, of course, one could always wear a three-piece suit if one wanted. I myself have been threatening to start dressing like Lady Gaga when I read. You can find more info on Puma Pearlhere. See Alex Nielsen reading here and for more on Smith&Lady gohereand here.
The reading also featured music from the band Mad Anthony from Cincinnati Ohio. I had never heard Mad Anthony perform before and so I must admit that when I found out there was going to be a band I made the snide comment to my friends “God I hope they don’t suck, because there is not enough beer in this place for me to drink if they do.” They did not suck and in fact, they were great. I apologize for my skepticism. Not only is their music good but they are a very cool guys and even came out to eat with us after the reading. I encourage you to check them out for yourself here.
Also, check out Mad Anthony and the remarkable poet Puma Pearl performing together. Btw, this was unrehearsed.
For anyone who has ever thought Burberry was stuffy,old or boring, I present you with these boots. I never thought I would actually be in love with a pair of rain boots.
Ten years ago, I would have rocked these shoes for sure. If I thought, I could pull them off now without looking incredibly Goth I would. I have a feeling if paired with the right pieces they can add an interesting aspect to any outfit.
I admit this skirt is a little odd, after all for me it has a country meets grunge feel. For some odd reason I like it a lot and can see it being a good staple wardrobe piece for the fall.
I love these black boots from Sam Edelman. They are great for wearing when you feel like pretending you are a rock star. Now I only need to come up with and excuse for owning another pair of black booties.
Okay so I am a little behind on posting this, okay so a lot behind, thanks to real life an all that. Anyway, I still love this song and I have kept it in play lists on my i-pod for months now, I cannot get enough. I had never heard of Los Campesinos! Before this song and I am now obsessed with their music.
Even though it is being billed as third album in trilogy (the first two being Hombre Lobo and End Times) Tomorrow Morning stands out on it’s own as an amazing work. The mix of sweet and uplifting lyrics with drum machines and electronic sounds is just plan genius. Of course when are the Eels (really just comprised of Mark Oliver Everett) not brilliant? My favorite tracks are Baby loves me, I’m a humming bird, What I have to offer and This is where it gets good. You can check the songs out here. http://www.myspace.com/eels Or the band here http://www.eelstheband.com/
