La Vie Links

  • Everyone knows that this kind of parking spot makes life so much better.
  • There’s a female Pineapple Express in the making.
  • Bust out some these Oscars facts when watching the Academy Awards on Sunday night!
  • This video gave me that really painful throat feeling and even a tear or two.
  • If you plan on climbing any trees in the near or distant future, remember this rule.
  • Moms are the best. Even when their daughters aren’t Olympic-bound.
  • Since I do love me an occasional indie Rom-Com, I will laugh at myself with this spoof.
  • Billboards=advertisements. Now billboards=art canvases.

I’m posting this set of links from a New York City-bound Greyhound bus. Ah, the wonders of Wi-Fi.

Let Us Sleep Outside Tonight, Lay Down In Our Mother’s Arms

I happen to be starting a new job tomorrow working as a hostess at a swanky seafood restaurant. When a friend asked if my uniform consisted of any sort of sea creature emblazoned fabrics, I got to thinking about animal/nature-inspired clothing in general. To accompany the whole flora theme of this season, there has definitely been a lot of fauna as well. I have noticed a few celebrities recently sporting animals and have yet to own anything of this variety. Scratch that if you count a ripped Death Cab concert tee with a green bird smack dab in the middle. All kinds of wildlife have been popping up including butterflies,  birds, horses, felines, elephants, etc. Lauren Moshi’s designs have been the culprit behind many of these nature-donning celebrity sightings.

I realize this blurb has been relatively uninspired but I think I can blame this on the fact that I am partially undecided on whether I even like this trend. So, tell me what you think!

Threw Away The Colour Cause Wearing Black Looks Mysterious

I’ve often gotten fully dressed to go at night, looked in the mirror, and realized that most of my outfit inadvertently consists of black.  Hailing myself as a bohemian person, this monochromatic black and boho thing is quite the paradox.  That’s why it becomes necessary to make the black on black not look so neutral by adding touches like embroidery and texture—things that make hippie style what it is.  Toe the indie line and step way past the Gothic domain, to make this head to toe black look decidedly bohemian.  The dark looks below were carefully carried out successfully.  This might not be the springiest of posts but wear these looks out on spring weekend nights and your bohemian in black mysteriousness will be the start of a good night, I promise.

All black with hair pulled back yet the least boring outfit I've ever seen on her
