in the meantime, good morning!

i am starting off this morning right with good reads and recipe searching.

i recently helped my film-student-friend out with her final project inspired by andy warhol's screen-tests. you should check it out!

It Stripes Us of Our Parlor: A Collective History (Video Link)

i thought it would be fun to show you who my biggest inspirations are as well--not only in the fashion world but simply people who catch my eye and allow me to feel immensely inspired.

edie sedgwick makes the top of the list. i have never been more inspired by one person. she is literally a doll. 

lykke li is next. usually i listen to either slow singer songwriter stuff or heavy rock n roll, but her music is amazing. i am addicted to her attitude, sound, and sense of style.

what would the world be like without courtney love? hole is probably one of my favorite groups of all time. punk meets rock meets feminism meet that red lip stick. (i swear by my red lips thanks to her). 

and to be more current, alexa chung is my number one style icon. (her book is amazing too). how this girl can look completely punk rock one day but then be the face of a madewell line the next is beyond me, but god i love her for it. 

i'd love to hear your fashion icons! i want to find inspiration anywhere i can.

a winter wonderland

how lovely is this season? besides the constant chill of an old colonial house in nh during decemeber, i do love this time of year. i spent today with an old friend. we enjoyed the snow and literally spent the entirety of today drinking coffee and reading magazine for inspiration for the upcoming season. my spring wish-list is currently under construction 

(kate spade, i'm coming for you). 

as you may be able to tell, the upper east corner of the us is facing quite a snowy season.

what i wore:

vintage sweater

madewell black skinnies

vintage belt

dolce vita booties

aint she a cutie? i do love this girl and her flawless sense of style.

what olivia wore:

madewell scarf

burberry coat

american eagle skinnies

nordstrom booties

my current reading list:

everyone needs to go pick up alexa chung's new book. it is amazing.

i hope everyone is having a stress-free holiday season! i can't wait to do spend tomorrow in the kitchen baking up a storm.
