I DON'T LIVE TODAY.






Vintage 70s Hendrix shirt, Topshop snakeskin print leggings, Jeffrey Campbell boots, vintage 70s faux fur & embroidered suede vest, Givenchy Pandora bag, rose gold DOOM ring courtesy of Adelina Mictlan, essence of two earring courtesy of L.S.D., vintage brass spiral cuff, vintage pentagram pendant, turquoise pendant by Lucky, butterfly knife pendant courtesy of Blood Milk, Margiela powder coated brass ring, Ray Ban custom tinted aviators.



Sorry it has been sooo unacceptably long since my last post. Sincerely. Between taking care of the little dude, the new RTW line I am launching with my partner, and the busy year Pentagram is having in preparation for the release of LAST RITES (which will be released in April; the 11th in Europe and 12th in the U.S., as far as I understand), it has been hard to focus on not looking like a total slob a lot of the time.




Aside from my badass authentic vintage purple Hendrix shirt (I only like Hendrix shirts when they say "THE EXPERIENCE" on them, because even now listening to him is such a fuckin experience ... not to mention Mitch Mitchell, god rest his soul, was one of the most incredible drummers in history), I wanted to share a couple particular things in this post: one being the amazing hot pink handmade faux bear skin rug that was so generously gifted to us by the lovely people over at Fringe. The rug will actually be used in a photoshoot with my husband, but I had to get a few with it as well.




The craftsmanship on this bear is jaw-dropping. When we first moved into this apartment, we decided we wanted one room retro-kitschy: the bedroom. I looked for months for the perfect bear skin rug to no avail ... they were all either too goofy/cartoonish-looking, or obviously designed for children's bedrooms. Fringe's bear rug is better than the real thing -- for real. To create the detail on the nose, mouth, tongue, eyes takes true skill ... this lady even has claws. Want one of your own? They make them in pretty much every color under the sun. They're crafted to be rugs, but look great thrown on the bed as well.




I've been drooling over this DOOM ring by Adelina Mictlan ever since I first laid eyes on it. It is a two-finger ring, but -- like her other multiple finger ring designs -- it doesn't feel like one. I'm not sure how she does it, but this ring is so easy to wear. I believe this is rose gold-toned brass ... I'm really into rose gold costume jewelry right now. Like the other brass ring I own that was designed by her, this one doesn't turn me green. It's obvious a lot of care is put into her designs. She also makes this ring in sterling silver, and a matching one that says GLOOM. Love it.




These snakeskin leggings were so cheap on Topshop about a month ago, so Bobby and I both bought a pair. They're remarkably comfortable. And I still love the Lita boots ... sorry, haters.

More soon (no, seriously). &hearts

MANIC DEPRESSION







Vintage Hendrix Experience shirt, Zara denim cutoffs, Miu Miu halter clogs, Margiela canvas bag, various accessories.



I won this Forever 21 cross ring from Closet Obsessions ... since they're now going for like $100 on eBay and I missed out when F21 first started selling them, I was so stoked to win! Neighboring rings: Pamela Love cross, custom or vintage sterling silver designs; Ray Ban sunglasses.





Since Bobby (who is responsible for all of the photography on this blog) is on tour, JF graciously agreed to snap some photos for me at the park today. We had a lot of fun!

I really can't get enough of these Miu Mius. They're very comfortable and look so good with everything. I wore them the other day while visiting my mom, and her eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw what I was walking in while pregnant. I swear they're a breeze!





I really love this bag. That shade of teal is one of my favorites, and I dig the black airbrushed effect. It holds a lot of shit and the shoulder strap is really comfortable as well.



I got this super soft vintage shirt on the cheap from eBay ... I love the full color print, and obviously I love the Experience.



My new F21 cross ring, custom sterling silver wire skull ring, vintage onyx/sterling ring.



JF is one of the dearest, most special people in my life. We have been very close for about seven years. You don't find a lot of people in this world like Josh. Thank you JF for helping me out today. &hearts

I'll soon be hosting a giveaway for an incredible custom piece by Summer Adeline Jewelry, which normally retails at around $300. In the meantime, check out her site to get a little taste of what you're in for. Her creations are truly remarkable.

Have a fantastic evening. xo
