24: WISH LIST

Another birthday is coming up this week. Time to put together another "wish list". In quote, because I never actually ask for these things on gift-giving occasions, they are more of a compilation of things that I want or might someday want to purchase for myself given the funds are available. 

This Bliss Lau Leather Relief Dress is kind of my latest obsession. Of course it costs $3199 on Bona Drag.

Y.R.U. Bloq Lace-Up Flatform Boots, which are $90 on UO, which is out of my budget these days.

Da Bruxa "Itch Witch": This stuff is amazing and it's just $12. I highly recommend it now after using some of Mary Meyer's. It literally makes mosquito bites (and other bites) not itch and pretty quickly go away. Necessary considering I am constantly getting bit.

Eagles Shadow Bikini - $110. A little steep for swimwear for me, especially since I don't know if the top will fit. But I've been wanting this since I spotted it a long time ago.

Dolcetta by Dolce Vita Harness Heel Boot $98 - these have been on my wishlist for myself for probably 2 years now.

I also have been wanting this basic AA crop top, but feel too broke to even buy this right now at $30.

A really good powder + teach me how to do make up, because I don't know how.

+ a bunch of cute pillows to complete my room. Oh and a couch. And a breakfast nook. And some rugs. And a salary. And to have all my records from back home shipped to me. Okay, that's it. Is that too much to ask for, universe?

BLEACH ONLINE SKY ROCKET

The latest issue of Bleach Online is now live! "Sky Rocket" features some seriously amazing photo editorials and interviews (including a few by me and one featuring me!). I had the pleasure of interviewing talented folks Matthew Frost, Annie Gunn and Peter Simonite, Natasha Pincus and Hayley Mary of The Jezabels.

Bleach was also kind enough to feature my new project VOYEUR and me in the issue, with some amazing images taken by Shayne Stroud. CHECK OUT THE REST OF THE ISSUE NOW!

+++ And go to the issue launch party at Cheer Up Charlie's tonight for FREE, featuring live music by Orthy and Gal Pals and Feathers DJ sets. RSVP HERE.

 

BRAG: RACHEL ROY FRONT PAGE

During SXSW, I was asked to take part in a RACHEL Rachel Roy Austin campaign, including street style images and a mini-editorial.

Last night, I found my face on the front page of rachelroy.com! 

Here I am with Whitney, Shari, Christina, Unique and Jamilah.

They also released this email newsletter where they featured us ladies and what we do.

So happy I woke up at 6:30 AM on that Friday of SX for this.

CHARM SCHOOL VINTAGE X AMERICAN HIPSTER

American Hipster, a YouTube video channel, featured Austin vintage store Charm School Vintage, but more importantly the store's babe owner Shari. I spy friends Beth, Kaidon and Ceci, too. 

LAST SALE: BUYDEFINITION.COM

It's here. We all knew it was going to have to end eventually, and this weekend, that end is arriving.

So, I've had the privilege to work for buydefinition.com for the past two years, and it's been a pleasure. From starting out as a social media intern, to assistant manager, to manager, to hosting the pop up shops, it's been quite the growth experience for me. 

Anyway, I'm not here to talk about myself but the last sale I'll be hosting at Dog & Pony for the website. We're joining D&P on The Drag again to sell the rest of the designer merchandise to you guys at literally 1/10 or less of the value. I'm talking independent designers from all over the world like Stylestalker, T by Alexander Wang, Mara Hoffman, Grey Antics, Maurie and Eve, F-Troupe, Sam Edelman, Pamela Love and much more.

Details:
4/20 Friday - 4/21 Saturday, 12-8 PM
@ Dog & Pony, 2712 Guadlaupe St.
Parking in the front and back of the store in alley
DO NOT PARK IN NEIGHBORING LOTS, you'll get towed.
