Be Naked

Clothes are great, makeup is even greater.
But style is about how you feel in your body.

No makeup, no clothes
Just you and your lovely skin-
free and feeling.

"And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet
and the winds long to play with your hair"
- Khalil Gibran

Style Profile: Max & Gavia

Living in the Northwest practically endows its residents with a quirky sense of style
(okay, that's a gross exaggeration/stereotype, but it has some truth).

I went to high school with a lovely lady named Gavia who you will see in the the following pictures. Gavia has one of the most distinctive styles of any human being living on this planet. Her clothes are a lovely mix of old and new, with styles spanning more decades than she has been alive. I have always respected her quiet confidence, one that allows her to humbly pull off basically anything she chooses.

Her beau mister Max Reikosky is a male mirror image of Gavia.
Let's just say he's got a cool Northwest steez goin for him.

We had a little photoshoot yesterday because I'd like to share with all our readers (all 5? 10 of you? we love you :D) some styles that both stand out and are understatedly cool. Enjoy!

On Gavia: gifted dress; gifted boots; leather hair-band.
On Max: Vintage Reebok tank from The Patch in Victoria, CA; cut off Levi's; Black H&M beach shoes; gifted sunnies.
On Gavia: top stolen from Mrs. Angell; pants from Buffalo Exchange; Jacket borrowed from sister; shoes from Buffalo Exchange.
On Max: t-shirt from Value Village; jeans from H&M; pea coat from H&M; blue sneakers.

On Gavia: lace tank from Goodwill; pants from H&M; Doc Martins from Buffalo Exchange; sweater from local consignment shop.
On Max: flannel from Old Navy; Imaginary Foundation t-shirt; Levi's jeans; Sperry Topsiders boat shoes.

The Greatest Sin of All: Bad Eyebrows

Well haaaaaay there!
Today, I tried to dye my own hair. Every inch of me is covered in purple and blue!
But my hair looks good!
YAYYY!
But you want to know what does not look good?
Beautiful women with hideous eyebrows.
Like Olivia Wilde, the insanely attractive Thirteen from House
AHHHHHHH!
oh honey...
speaking of medical shows,
Do any of you watch Royal Pains?
Divya is so sexy
but her eyebrows are stuck in 1992
(also her bra is showing)
or how about
Lauren Conrad?
following in Jennifer Anistons footsteps as queen of understated style...
but lordy, these are some weird, awkward eyebrows.


So now you know,
I am an eyebrow bitch.

okie dokie have a great tuesday!
