One of the movies that is constantly in rotation at my apartment is Reality Bites. No surprise there. And like most ladies, I cannot get enough of character Vickie Miner, especially her wardrobe. I know this is pretty surprising to hear from a girl who lives in all black all the time, but there is this piece of me that wants to romp around town in huge disco glasses, floral print polyester, and colorful tights. Sigh, I miss my 90’s closet.

^ In the photo above, are those platform jellies? I definitely used to own those. Currently kicking myself in the ass for throwing out my teenager self’s wardrobe. So many epic pieces.

Maybe I’ll start wearing some color in the Fall….

Beginning in the late 1930’s (and spanning over the course of 45 years) photographer Bruce Mozart created a project entitled “The Life Aquatic”, a collection that featured daily life happening underwater. Located in Silver Springs, Florida, the project was done to show off the amazing clarity of the water, and in turn they put the city on the map as one of Florida’s premier attractions.

These photographs make me fall in love with the state of Florida all over again, and it also makes me wish I was a mermaid or that I could live in an underwater world safely. Aren’t they so dreamy?

For the release of their Summer 2011 collection, MOB teamed up with Jasmine Solano and put together a sizzling summer in the city lookbook. I love the simplicity and realness of this shoot, as well as the selection of tees and tanks. I’m especially feeling the “#1 Bitch” (reminds me of Chanel) and the “Got Heart” tank. The entire collection can be purchased on the MTTM NYC site.

Obsessed with this photography collection.

Fallen Princesses by Dina Goldstein.

Completely swooning over the Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Holiday’11 lookbook. From long draping dresses to fringe accents and leopard print, I just want it all. This collection has me yearning for the colder months, this Florida heat is absolutely killing me. (and my wardrobe choices haha) How much longer til October? The styling in this lookbook series also reminds me so much of Almost Famous, sigh…I adore that film and the costuming. I’ll say it again, I was born in the wrong decade.

I absolutely love Marley Kate’s photography. Flawless as always.

One of my favorite stores to shop at is LF, and lucky (well unlucky for my wallet) there is one just two blocks away! They carry all my favorite brands, and have an insane amount of Jeffrey Campbells to choose from. Outside of just having an amazing stock, their online trend reports and lookbooks always make my heart skip a beat. Recently they put together a series surrounding fringe, and I’m loving it. I actually just bought a really awesome black leather fringe vest and I cannot wait to wear it!

Outside of the clothing in this shoot, I’m totally lusting over the henna on the model’s hands. While hand tattoos aren’t for me, I wouldn’t mind have henna done on a regular basis, I just think its absolutely beautiful.

Season after season, jewelry designer Pamela Love never disappoints. From tribal influences to southwestern motifs, her collections emulate a mystical theme and supernatural ideas. Staying true to her gritty and unpolished stylings, her Fall 2011 collection is packed with uncut crystals, rough edges, and jagged pieces. Love has a way of turning raw and unrefined components into magical and flawless creations.

Constantly amazed and inspired by her collections, I’m always anxious to see what she comes up with next.  I’ve decided that for my birthday this year, I will be purchasing something Pamela Love.
