old school trends, new technology

So, I just got a macbook pro and I must say... I'm in love! I spent the morning laying in bed, browsing blogs and shopping sites. Something I have missed tremendously. You see, I don't have the best of luck with computers. I've broken a few and, although I have a blog, am kind of slow when it comes to technology. I still use a VCR if that helps you get the picture (my collection of VHS tapes is pretty rad though). Anyway, MAC makes it easy. I love my new lil pro. It has allowed me to float away into fashion wonderland today.

Here are a few things that, yes, I would LOVE to have but, no, I cannot afford. That's okay though. I can look and imagine. Daydreaming is one of my favorite things to do. :)

Alexander McQueen skull scarf

Theysken Theory Doren dress

Burberry Prorsum platform wedges

Pamela Love double cage ring

Rick Owens leather moto jacket

ACNE leather pants

Rebecca Minkoff leather bag

So, here's to a lazy Sunday morning with some of my favorite designers and my new favorite accessory... my mac. Hope everyone has a great week.

"Well she's free...

... oh, companion to the wind"

Here are some shots from an evening of playing around in my apartment with clothes & a camera.

I got this necklace from a friend, Savannah. She has an amazing vintage store called, "Everybody's Buying Vintage."  You can see her collection of amazing vintage pieces several ways. You can shop on market publique, like the store's page on Facebook, or visit her adorable blog. If you are a Birmingham girl, you can shop her styles at, "Homewood Antiques & Marketplace."  You may just find that perfect gift for Christmas!

Have a great weekend!

"Leaves are falling all around. It's time I was on my way..."

It's Autumn. My favorite season... the season of Bama football, panic fall tour, leaves changing colors, cooler weather, Halloween (I love dressing up), among other great things. This fall, I've been to all the Bama home games so far. Posted below, a few pics of myself and some sweet friends I've enjoyed game time with this season. Stay tuned for more football fun pics to come.  However, ill be skipping the next few games because... it is panic tour time after all.. time to go get down with the boys!!

Cheers, to friends so near!

I have a new obsession and its called Pinterest. It's a website to create pin boards for photos you like and want to save for later.  You can pin photos your boards from other users, the net or your own photo collection. It's so much fun for searching inspiring pics on the web. I have boards for music, fashion, my personal style, bags, books, food, crafts.. just to name, well several. But, that, my friends, is why it is so cool. If you'd like to check it out, post a comment with your email address. I'll send you an invite. Seriously, check it out friends.

Thank you for reading! ;)  Have a good night and weekend!

DIY- Dip Dyed denim and summer knits

"Well, that makes sense to me, it makes sense to me I must confess..."

I love the trend this summer of taking old shorts and thin knits and dip dying them yourself! You can find either of these at your local thrift store. You can get the dye at your local craft store OR get creative and find natural dyes to use. Any way you do it, this is a cheap, easy and oh so trendy thing to do. No two things will be the same and it's something fun to do alone or with your girlfriends. I personally plan to ask my lady friends to come over one night for a dip dying party. I love the term DIY and this is a great one!

It's been a while since I've posted on my blog. It's been a pretty busy summer. I just moved in to a new place over the weekend. And... I love it!! I can't wait to get busy on new projects and get back to posting here regularly. My blog is a place for me to come and write anything, share and save ideas, post photos, etc... As I type now, I'm feeling really good about the changes being made in my life. It's giving me new inspiration for my blog!

So, please come back by soon. Thanks for reading friends!

"Sometimes we live no particular way but our own...

... sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own." GD

Some random pictures taken over the past several days. Went a lil crazy w/ the curls and pics on Sunday. Buying a "baby curl(er)" ASAP. Tho I've always been lazy w/ my hair. So, we'll see how long my using it lasts...

Outfit: cardi- Calvin Klein; tank- Notice; shorts- ZARA
Received these postcards from my dear friend, Mitchell yesterday. They are from my fave city in America, San Francisco. LOVED it :) I collect vintage postcards btw.

Picture taken while hanging w/ Joel at work. It was cold this morning when I left for work. Good excuse to wear my Hellz Bellz moto jacket and new Joe's Jeans skinnies. Score.

And... The Jenny Picture. These seem to get taken of me ever so often. Apparently, I channel Jenny (Forest Gump, of course) from time to time. I'm fine with it.

Hope everyone is having a fun-filled, peaceful week.

I love you, Alabama!

I write today with a heavy heart. My "sweet home" Alabama is in a state of devastation. 

I awoke yesterday to heavy winds that scared me to my core.  Little did I know that was the tip of the iceberg. As I drove to work, I had an uneasy feeling. I arrived in Chelsea to dead still traffic where I waited for four hours on my normal route of Hwy 280. I finally turned around.

All the radio stations told us all to be careful and prepare for a nasty day of weather. I don't know that anyone could have prepared for what came next. By five o'clock, there was a tornado, almost a mile wide, hitting my college town of Tuscaloosa, AL... the town in which I spent five years of my life. I began to frantically call and text my friends who still live there.  They were all alive. But, several lost their homes. The tornado went on to devastate areas all over our state. I've heard reports of 66 tornadoes in our state yesterday. Over 200 people are dead. 400,000 are still without power. 1000s are left with nothing but the clothes on their back. My heart is broken for my beautiful state and its residents. I couldn't tear my eyes from my t.v. last night.  I've cried off and on all day as I listen to reports and see the devastation with my own eyes.

Over the past few years the natural disasters around the world have hurt my heart. But, I must say that when it hits home, its an indescribable feeling. The road to recovery will be long. But, in time of need, the people of Alabama unite. We will do that again. We will rebuild. Alabama will be "the beautiful" again. Please, if u are able, send donations or volunteer your time.  Every little bit counts. Alabama, I love you!

XOXO, Stevi

"Sunshine on my shoulders...

..makes me happy."

Spent a few days on the lake with friends. It's been a beAutiful weekend. I love riding on a boat and feeling the wind in my hair! Also.. I love hanging with my girl, Mandy. She's always rockin' the 80's wear somehow and she does it well.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and Happy Easter!

XOXO,
Stevi
