EVERY NIGHT I TELL MYSELF I AM THE COSMOS

What's playing through my ears right now...

Yes, yes, it's a year out, but this song is like a lover in my brain.

(be sure to pause the music player on the sidebar — unless of course you think you're a hot mess dj)

LYRICS:

Every night I tell myself, 
"I am the cosmos, 
I am the wind" 
But that don't get you back again 
Just when I was starting to feel okay 
You're on the phone 
I never wanna be alone 
Never wanna be alone 
I hate to have to take you home 
Wanted too much to say no, no, 
Yeah, yeah, yeah 
Yeah, yeah, yeah 
Never wanna be alone 
I hate to have to take you home 
Want you too much to say no, no 
Yeah, yeah, yeah 
Yeah, yeah, yeah 
My feeling's always happening 
Something I couldn't hide 
I can't confide 
Don't know what's going on inside 
So every night I tell myself 
"I am the cosmos, 
I am the wind" 
But that don't get you back again 
I'd really like to see you again 
I really wanna see you again 
I'd really like to see you again 
I really wanna see you again 
I'd really like to see you again 
I really wanna see you again 
I never wanna see you again 
Really wanna see you again

PRINTS IN SHINING ARMOR

Some of the things I'm aiming to play into my daily mix this Fall: rich prints and hard armor. The loving nod to knightship continues as a fashion fixture with trends in Fall. The prints of Resort, both fitted and fluttery alike, can be toughened up in layers of leather and steel.

GRIT TO THE GRIND

I've had this extreme obsession as of late with fingerless biker and driving gloves. These I wore the other night to a fashion party... I rocked them with a nude dress and made sure to add gold sparkle to my nails to match the bar ring I'm also addicted to. Lets not forget the Mad-Man-esque glasses perched on my face courtesy of my twin! (Shpanks love.) 

it's fun to have attention at your fingertips

CRUSH ON: PHILIP CRANGI

"Brass is the new gold."

Philip Crangi, jewelry designer and the man behind GilesandBrother.com has declared the new look for accessories this season: it's brass. This man has read my heart, specifically with his railroad spike nifties... cuffs, rings, and chain bracelets all stick with the trend of something rustic and a little dangerous. These are definitely on my lust list.

SWEET DISPOSITION

Inspirations.
Seeing things through such juxtapositions as in their transcendental distances between darkness and light.//
