WE STAY HIGH.

"We Stay High" snap-up jacket, Siren's Song tank top, and sterling Baphomet ring courtesy of Actual Pain, No Future cutoffs w/ tights, Alexander Wang Beatle boots, Alexandra Cassaniti newspaper clutch, XL jasper stone ring, DIY bone necklace, tooth/hair earring courtesy of L.S.D., BDG cashmere beanie, Ray-Ban aviators.



Posts have been sporadic for two reasons: 1) Bobby, my default photographer, is on tour in Europe. "Last Rites" dropped on Tuesday -- hooray! You can grab a copy here. 2) All of my time has been consumed by Käärme. But that is okay, because the pieces are looking awesome.

How amazing is the baphomet ring by Actual Pain? The new collection, Icons of a New Mythology, is sick -- how could I resist this jacket? And a few other warm-weather "basics," of course ...





Here is a photo of me & my husband from the latest issue of SPIN magazine:



It was so great working with SPIN and I'd like to thank David Marchese for the copious amounts of time he devoted to traveling & research in order to write this article, the SPIN photo crew, and all of the designers (Straight to Hell, UNIF, Angela Monaco, Actual Pain, Adelina Mictlan, and Blood Milk) who helped style the shoot. You can read the article here.

FAM; SPECIAL PEOPLE

Sorry for the delay around the holidays; you know how that goes ... going to have a "relevant" post up super soon.

Photos of Bobby and Victor, credit goes to the ever-generous and continually loyal Jeffrey Lee.

Much love &hearts

IT'S A MAJOR AWARD

This was RJ's first Christmas. Santa was good to him: a Vermont Teddy Bear, a Baby Einstein chair, an Eagles sweatsuit, and much more. I am a lucky woman to have spent Xmas (and every other day) with my boys. Wishing all of you the happiest of holidays and an even more joyous future. &hearts

On a less important note, this blog is now over a year old. Thank you to all of my readers for supporting (and hopefully enjoying) Halcoholic. Much love to all of you.

NEGATIVE

Dig this picture with these Celine wedges .. these are probably my favorite pairs of non-boots, but they're extremely hard to walk in. It's weird how some shoes without a platform (like my Ann Demeulemeester wedges) are super easy to walk in, and others that look easy like these shoes are very teetery. I rarely wear them except maybe when Bobby and I are going somewhere nice for dinner and I can hang onto him while others assume I had a few drinks or something ;) Love 'em anyway, and the Celine bags from this season are gorg. We don't drink, for the record .. it makes us both pukey.



1984. He looks very high on cocaine in this photo, but moreso than that I think he was just very excited and full of adrenaline to interview Blue Cheer, which he did that night.

Speaking of my husband, he's leaving to record the heavily anticipated "Last Rites" album in about five days and will be gone for a whole month! This is the longest Bobby and I have been apart since we got married. Our anniversary is on the 24th of this month. I'm a very lucky woman to have known love this way. The past year has been surreal. I remember getting married with just the two of us and a preacher, holding tulips (at least I think they were tulips) he had bought just moments before in the rain, and the way he looked running back to the car with his hair all wet. Afterwards we ate cinnamon pretzels back at the apartment, told stories and laughed. About three weeks later I found out I was pregnant. We were so excited. I wouldn't change anything about Bobby. I hope to be with him when he's incredibly, incredibly old, with a walker, watching our son graduate college.

Sorry for the boring post, Bobby and I are going to see Roky Erickson play tonight since we missed him in Philly .. I'll try to take some pictures. Have a safe weekend &hearts

SUBURBAN HOME

I love fashion, but I do not consider it a significant part of who I am. I would say what makes me who I am is the unconditional, fierce love I feel for those who are most important to me. I have always been a homebody. I am home when I am with the people I adore the most in this world. The things surrounding me in this dwelling -- the little belongings I see and experience on a daily basis -- are a reminder of the life I have now and what I've gone through to get here: a pair of shoes I was wearing when my husband and I realized we were going to be parents, an old Norwegian knick-knack my mother gave me when I moved into my first apartment, a plush animal I slept with as a child that now sits in my son's crib. I never pictured my life this way ten or even two years ago. I am not sure what I did to deserve the special people with whom I get to share my days, but I try not to ask questions. Life is too short to not cherish and enjoy what matters most to you, whatever that may be.

RAW TO THE BONE

Margiela sweater, vintage Thrasher t-shirt, vintage distressed leggings, Chloe Sevigny x Opening Ceremony buckle wedges, Jil Sander sunglasses, Jas M.B. leather tote. Accessories: sterling silver eagle ring courtesy of Alberto Juan, Chanel cocktail ring, custom Donald Pywell sterling cuff, sterling crow skull pendant by Blue Bayer, Forever 21 cross ring.




Not too much going on with this look, which is what I like about it. Limited time and that post-pregnancy in-between-sizes figure is pretty constricting to my wardrobe, but I have to say it's been a nice reprieve. I've had this Thrasher shirt for years and it's basically threadbare. It was cool enough this morning to wear the Margiela sweater over it, but by mid-afternoon the sun was beating. It's September ... will the East Coast heat end already?



I really am not too into posting pictures of my kid online .. something about it doesn't sit right with me and it's not relevant to this blog. However, I love this shot of him with his daddy:



I can't believe Bobby and I turned out such a blonde baby! For two very small people, he's also a big boy. We adore him. More soon! xo
