Love Spreads


tee - Squaresville + DIY // skirt - thrifted // Perfect Hat - vintage // sunglasses - melrose trading post // jewelry - vintage // Harley boots - vintage

This is probably one of my favorite outfits, ever. Very comfortable and I felt very 'me' in it. Happy Mother's Day! (except those in South America -- happy late Mother's Day since yours was on Friday!). Here's a good song (that I can almost guarantee to you will be the best song you've heard in your life), by a good band that I watched perform at a good music festival in April, and caught their good drumstick. God, that was a really good day.

That's On Me


black crushed velvet leggings - Miracle Eye // Def Leppard shirt - vintage // boots - Matiko // sweater - Melrose Trading Post // jewelry - vintage, Etsy, and flea markets // bag - really, really old UO

Yes. That's on me. That's all that's on me. These Zola Black Leggings from Miracle Eye! Crushed velvet has my heart forever, then when you add black, and the comfy-ness of pajama pants, I can't NOT say no. Not ever. This is practically my uniform (not kidding). I had my mom make me another pair in another type of black crushed velvet (that's not in the shop) so that I'd have two pants to wear all 7 days of the week. Is that gross? Probably. Gross is my middle name. Larissa Gross Blintz. Anyways, let's listen to some delicious new tunes by my wavvey boy:

Vicious


grommet top - coming soon to Miracle Eye // skirt - Captain's Helm + DIY // eyeball ring - c/o Glow Worm Shop // all other rings and jewelry - vintage from flea markets or Etsy // sunglasses - coming soon to Miracle Eye // Harley boots - vintage

Can't wait to shoot a bunch of new things we have lined up for Miracle Eye.. more grommet tops like these, sunglasses, tons of dresses with bell sleeves, more bell bottoms in different fabrics, and so much new vintage. Typing that all out has motivated me more to set dates with my models. Boy was that easy!

Also also: I heard that Google Reader, the service that basically my entire readership uses, will be shutting down sometime next week(?) This sucks major ass, not just because I'm going to lose the 808 followers that I've garnered since I began blogging, but because I also personally use this service to follow tons and tons of blogs.. Probably the worst news I've heard in a while. Anyways, I highly urge you to follow me on Bloglovin' now since that's the only other method I also have on my blog for my followers to use. Major major bummer. You can follow me on Bloglovin' here, if you still would like to continue receiving updates when I post new things on this blog. Anyways, have an awesome Thursday, folks.

Death Take Your Fiddle

 
Spiritualized shirt - Coachella // shorts - AA // jacket - ASOS // belt - hand me down // Harley boots - vintage // sunglasses - so old I can't remember // jewelry - vintage

Oh this shirt.. So I went to Coachella for my first time last weekend (weekend one) and have finally fully recovered. I've been a half zombie and unable to get a good night's sleep for the past week (got back home Monday afternoon). Coachella was really amazing and although many people hate it because it's such a *mainstream* music festival and there are so many 'bros' that go, I had a fucking blast. And I ended up meeting some really awesome people. I watched some amazing bands and was front-row for every performance I went to except one, which is very exciting! A few I watched that I can think of off the top of my head: Tame Impala, Dinosaur Jr (I got kicked in my right eye by some 12 year-old idiot crowd surfer during this performance), The Stone Roses, Violent Femmes, Spiritualized, The Make-Up, Blur, Metric, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Modest Mouse. 

My favorite performance is split between Spiritualized and The Stone Roses. So fucking good. Jason Pierce was AMAZING and blew my mind and I was crying half of the performance and I just never thought I'd see him in real life because he's never performing around here.. The performance was very spiritual (pun intended) and very surreal. I remember every detail of the performance perfectly and I will never forget it. Stone Roses' performance was UNREAL and Ian still has that voice! He threw out his tambourine and asked me if I wanted it and I nodded and he tossed it to me and some chick next to my friend (who was beside me) snatched it from me! I was in such shock that I was laughing.. What a fucking terrible human she is. Out of pure luck, the drummer later threw out his two drumsticks and I caught one! I was shaking and tearing up from joy because I never in my life thought I'd get to see The Stone Roses live. I didn't end up with Ian's tambourine, but I did catch a drumstick which is enough for me (so is knowing Ian noticed me and wanted me to have the tambourine) :-)))))

Here's a picture of the magical Stone Roses drumstick:

Oh and I now have front bangs (a fringe I think is what it's called). Chopped 'em a few days ago when I was really bored. Woooo.
