You know, I had really high hopes for that banner but like most things I lost interest the actual follow through about 3 minutes in.

Here are the photos I slacked on having developed from our trip. We went to Seattle for the sole reason that neither of us had been there before- So we fly in on friday, with no plans what-so-ever and barely made our flight home on Sunday. I’d like post about all the sights we saw and incredible things we did but the whole trip was kind of a blood mary induced fog. I know at some point I feel asleep in the back of what I think was a scion XB, while wearing an very small pricy white dress that had sauce all over it while Blake and our new friends broke into the Cobain estate and battled spirits.. or something. I actually have no idea but I was covered in bruises by Monday.

Big Ups to:
Pike Place, or whatever its called, and the amazing french restaurant directly on top of the fish market for smelling like baguettes, having an incredible view and great bloody marys.

The stoner fish tossing dudes, trying to party

Yella Wolf for randomly being in town that night and his show we accidentally walked into

Demon Hunting Ryan and Cory for showing us an awesome time

The Ace Hotel and the Cha Cha for not throwing us out and cleaning up after we left

Biscuit Bitch

The Space Needle Restaurant for being the most romantic place Ive ever been

Negative Ups:
Any hotdog with mayo and seaweed on it can fuck right off.

Questions:

Posted January 23, 2012

There are so many websites like nastygal and stuff. Where do you shop online?

Its funny that you bring up Nastygal because I generally try to avoid that site. Not because I dislike the brands they carry but clothes for me are about feeling special and different due to their site’s overwhelming success (and small catalog) its hard for me to find things there that I haven’t already seen 9x on my walk from Trader Joes to the Cha Cha. I really only shop at three online retailers. Depending on what my budget is I cycle through Karmaloop, Pixie Market, and Opening Ceremony.

Whats a cool fashion blog?

I recently added Love Aesthetics to my google reader.
She has big eyes, a greyscale color scheme and cool hair.

What kind of style would you say you have? What are your favorite brands?

This is question is rough ala “what kind of music do you listen to”. I wear a lot of black and I think I look weird in anything ironed or too colorful. During the week I honestly spend most of my days in leggings and a tank top because of work. I have to have things that are easy to take on and off quickly. When Im out I usually wear leather and some kind of velvet, silk, denim staple combo. I have nice things and they almost always have a hole in them.

Shit, favorite brands?

Im a coolhypeshit junkie which means I end up wearing a lot of men’s small tshirts. so brands like that? Actual Pain and Stray Rats. My bo

Evil Twin, Unif, StyleStalker, Cheap Monday, Acne, Something Else, One Teaspoon, Opening Ceremony’s in house collections, Mink Pink, Bitching and Junk, Ksubi, Stolen Girlfriends Club. I could edit this for days.

Do you still make art?

Sometimes Ill crank out a few things when Ive got time to split between sharpies and a bottle of 2 buck but Im not selling graphics anymore. I kind of lost interest in it for awhile and I hope it comes back.

I don’t get what you do?

Im going to pretend youre asking me about work here and I dont really have a direct answer. I try on clothes, I do some consulting, I get my photo taken and Im in the process of developing web content for the newly launching e-magazine style recovery blog. I always have too much on my plate for a girl who’s always hungry.

What blogs do you read that aren’t fashion based?

Im gonna make this easy:

All day, everyday.

There are a lot of upcoming parentheses in this post, here’s a few more just to start it off ((((((((((((())))))))))))). Sunn. Kinda.

Anyway, unless youve been sleeping under a technological rock (ie: youre still content lurking facebook status updates about the girls you ~~kinda wanted to be~~ hated in highschool getting knocked up out of wedlock and photos of aunt nina’s island vacation) you probably have an instagram. I have one that I should probably check about 90x less than I do but personally I am willing to milk every last ounce of my phones battery, waiting for my friends to show me what theyve been eating for breakfast so I can hate them. And then in return myself because I’m empty bellied and too hung over to move and I would decapitate the next fat cute pug you post a photo of to eat ANYTHING with hollandaise sauce on it.

With the app’s increasing popularity, a lot of fashion bloggers have been using instagram as an outlet. (which will in turn eventually lead to complete abandonment in time by the social media overachieving “I did it first”s). In the same way that some bloggers use a “lookbook.nu” style, Ive noticed tons of girls(a lot of randoms and a few big time bloggers) popping up on instagram with “What I wore” today type posts. Kind of cool. I Think. Its at least a welcome break from the constant reminder that I’m still hungry. Starving while writing this post, in fact.

Anyway, you get where Im going with this post by now: instagram is cool, people are on it, some people have cool clothes we can look at. Below are a few screenshots of some cool girls Ive come across just this past week or so.

That was a bad analogy before about the baby thing, I will never get tired of watching your mistakes. And in case this post doesnt sit well with the Karma Gods Im gonna tack on a: “Best of luck, though ”

HEY IMPORTANT NEWS ON THE STEAKTOOTH FRONT,

I am finally ready to announce my working partnership with Style Recovery, the brand new State-Side website from the creative group that built France’s ugotawish.com. Working closely with bloggers Margaux Lonnberg and Kenza Smg, ugotawish.com has built a 60,000 member community in less than a year and we aim to have Style Recovery follow suit. The site is up and ready now with a full launch of our community coming in the following month. What you can expect to see? Aside from piles of designer clothing that won’t literally wreck your wallet, we’re working on features and interviews from anyone pushing boundaries on the U.S. fashion front. Bloggers, stylists, designers.. really anyone we think has an edge or at least something cool to talk about. A mini hub for cool stuff that’s just a click away from a spot to shop. Im really excited about this project and my involvement and I want you to be apart of it! Like the French site, there will be room for profile creation for you to broadcast your own closets/likes&dislikes/trends etc. The community will be interactive, so if there is anything you’d like to see or people you want to hear from send it on over, I’m all ears. EMAIL LE STEAK. NO, REALLY DO IT.PLEASE.

How To SR Guide:

“Sellers:

Do you have high-end brands you no longer wear in your closet? We know how hard it is to sell your lightly worn items for the price they are worth. This is why we have made selling your designer clothing as easy as possible for you!

Any damage to the product must be photographed and mentioned in the description.

Once your item is listed, shoppers can buy it directly from you. We take a percentage of the sale as commission for reviewing your listing, cropping your photos for product emphasis and giving it exposure on the site. If your listing is purchased, we will hold on to the payment until the buyer receives their item. Once received in the condition the item was listed, you will receive your payment. Now you can return to stylerecovery to fill the empty space in your closet!

Our sellers are fashion lovers just like you who own beautiful things that they just don’t use anymore. We only sell designer products in good condition and you can find them up to 80% off! We review and approve each product before it is available for purchase, so you can be sure that every item on the site is genuine. For your security, we hold on to your payment until you receive the product in the condition it was posted. We invite you to sign up today, it’s easy and free!

Why you will love Stylerecovery.com

We have created a community for people who share a love of fashion to save the designer products we all appreciate and give them a loving home. As a seller, you know that members understand the value of designer fashion so you can sell top brands for the price they are worth.

Again, we are working hard to keep up with how quick the site it growing but it is my personal job to make it ideal for the community users. Check out the brands in the store we have up now but keep checking back over the next few weeks for more brands and extended content- including but not limited to myself bumbling around, microphone in hand, stringing together interviews. Which in the least will be good for a laugh.
