RONKY TONKIN’

(Coat: All Saints, Denim Shirt: Madewell, Tee: Vince, Denim: Rag & Bone, Belt: purchased in Norway, boots: via Anthropologie)

Believe it or not there is a country [line-dancing] bar in the area and we went cow-girlin’ for a night  last week. The name of the bar is actually called Rocky Tonk but it has since been renamed to Ronky Tonk for several reasons. One of them being the blatant error in pronunciation and the other being it’s association to thrifted [and overly bedazzled] denim jackets handpicked for future Ronky occasions.

But more importantly.. I finally had good reason to wear my latest boots purchase [besides clunking around on the plane over because it couldn't fit in my luggage]. If you remember from previous fashion obsessed posts I had talked about wanting them. I thought the likelihood of the purchase was pretty slim [since I have been trying only to buy essentials for a while] but they went on sale! I couldn’t help myself. I love a good sale.

It was perfect for the occasion. Although the heel was a little high to be getting my yeehawing on but it did the job. I learned new moves in my new fancy boots and got my two-step on for sure!

There is something so fun about country music and line dancing. Besides the sense of energy and cheesy [and sometimes poorly written] love songs I think it has a lot to do with the culture that is incredibly unique to America. Makes you feel a certain connection to it all. You know? Like you are somehow [automatically] apart of it. It just makes you want to have a good time!

I wanna ronky tonk all night!

TECHNICALLY FASHIONABLE

Restless fashion

(Vince oversized top - matchesfashion.com, One Teaspoon jean shorts $63 - welikefashion.com Platform high heels - anthropologie.com Clare vivier clutchHouse of Harlow 1960 antique jewelry, Feliks+Adrik Brass Cuff - shopbop.com, & Gorjana leather wrap bracelet - piperlime.gap.com)

Only because there has been a lack of fashion in my [real] life I have made it a priority to sit on the internet all night building shopping carts.. and pretending I am actually going to checkout. If you want to know the real truth.. I have been going on Anthropologie every night looking at those boots. I am dying for them. Who wouldn’t want a pair of pom pom’s on your feet everywhere you walk?? I would.

You gotta love technology. Even though my life is void of fashion statements at the moment [which is perfectly okay; I am enjoying this time of non-materialism and somewhat of a minimalist mode] I can still create a fashionable alter-ego online. My own little ladyslider fashion bot. [Fashionably] bland by day, oozing with labels and color by night. It works for me. For now.

I am a technically fashionable kind of girl.

COASTAL LIVING


(Photos from: here)

I’ve been crazy about nesting lately. I’ve actually been for years.. but now I feel like I can finally let loose and splurge on some nest essentials. While I was browsing through my usual internet spots I decided to check out Anthropologie’s latest look book. Oh me oh my do they know how to get a coastal girl excited! I’m fixated on that little tent number they’ve got going on. Who wouldn’t want to pitch a tent in the tide and have a cocktail?! So I might not be able to do it in the ocean.. but it’s encouraged my idea of pitching a TeePee in my front yard. Haha. We’ll see how that goes over..

I think Anthro has got such a great selection of ceramics, textiles, and other home goods for the hip-hearted coastal girl this time around. I can always appreciate some thing in their catalogs to get inspired or to start building my online shopping cart. Ehehe.

I don’t like to let a lot of people in on my little internet finds and ideas [I’d like to think I’ve got some kind of special talent with it and can should be hired to find cool things on the internet and around the world. You think I’ve got a chance at it?? haha.) but I thought you guys should know. If you don’t already of course.

Oh man, this gets me so excited though! Just the simple idea of having plants around to soak up the summer sun and relaxing in a well nested pad. I cannot wait for summer to be in full effect. I’m already preparing!!

To the summer, coastal living and the perfect nesting finds!!
