those pants say something

Awhile back when I was on tour with Mary Lambert we had a show in New York. I have a strange love/hate relationship with New York. It steals all my friends, can be a very lonely place, and is so expensive. However New York is THE best place to shop.

Of course the best place to shop is UNIQLO. It's like a better GAP, Banana Republic, and American Apparel all rolled up in one. This where I got these great pants. Although on the more expensive side of things, I love Uniqlo and there items last forever.

Pants (UNIQLO) x Shoes (Macy's)

Necklace (Target) $5.00 x Shirt (hand-me-down from my mama)

YO NYC. We coming for you.

As you know I am currently on tour "The Good Feelings Tour" with Mary Lambert hence the lack of posts.

Good news; this is a post.

Better news; New York City readers Mary "Same Love" Lambert and I will be performing at The Bluestockings Club in NYC on Sunday January 27th. We will be doing a bunch of smaller wild random shows while in the New York area but you do not want to miss this!

I'll do a instagram post shortly but for those who can't wait that long, just follow me instead: @missestelle

Best News: I have an official "website." I am sorry, but I feel mad fancy yo!

Stripes, tims, & pearls

One of my favorite people/humans/women/poets/aunts in the world Tara Hardy once told me "Rose, I swear you are the only person I know that can wear timberlands and pearls, and pull it off."

It's a #guttersnipe thing.

My friend yesterday also said "Rose your hair is like a mood ring." Because once again, I re-dyed it and it came out kind of blue-ish. I don't mind. It's just hair.

SIDE NOTE: One of my best friends in the world Ericka moved back to New York this morning. It's very sad and heartbreaking but she's off to do BIG things. She was a massive fan of my sweater/jean jacket so as a going away gift I made her very own... 

 Love you Ericka! Off to be Big & Beautiful things in this world.

(Of course sporting a jacket I made her)

Act Like You Know Better

One of my best friends Miss Ericka W. is back in town from her wild adventures around the world. Last night we went out on the town and things got so out of hand. Yet worth every minute.

So today, even though it is Friday (a.k.a. my Sunday) I am taking things really really easy. I don't drink, but gosh darn do I have a second hand hang over.

ALSO! Let it be known, I got my nails done yesterday. I had no idea they would match my outfit...

5 Things I am in love with.... Right now.

5. Two Kools

Karen at Where Did U Get That is one my fashion icons and she started a new blog about couples with great fashion in New York.

4. Bill Cunningham New York

I've always been a huge fan of him and his photos in the New York Style section but seeing the documentary made me love him even more. (Check it out on Netflix Instant Queue)

3. Cris Cab - Echo Boom

The newest act on Pharrell's new label "i am OTHER" It's a great mixtape and Cris has a really interesting reggae/R&B sound. Great for the lonely hearts of February. Download here.

2. The Oscars

It's red carpet season but the holy grail is the oscars.

1. Jeremy Scott Fall 2012

Only Jeremy Scott can bring back Lisa Frank and teenage dreams. Mr Scott can do no wrong. And everyone knows my (self proclaimed) spirit animal is a unicorn.

Best Ways of Living.

I home from New York. It was by far my favorite trip. Some crazy wild things went down. I didn't really plan anything other than my show on the 30th and everything else just magical fell into place. Don't you love it when things just work out like that.

Now. The Break Down:

• it snowed so plane got delayed 4 hours
• my show was so dope! I opened for Derrick Brown & Amber Tamblyn.
• Ended up going to a really fun after party where at midnight everyone sang me happy birthday.
• My birthday! (I am 22 now. Soooo crazy to say that out loud)
• Did some New York wandering and shopping
• Went bowling
• Childish Gambino secret show!
• Went back to the Bowery Poetry club and read at the open mic
• Ended up at a cool forum in the West Village where we talked about Wallstreet, race, gender, ect.
• Then a bunch of in between events.

I am still trying to process everything that happened. I can't wait to go back.

But at alas. I am home in rainy wet Seattle. Back on the grind. Back to normal work. You know, I live a fairly normal life but I get to experiences some great moments in between the norm. I have to say its the best way of living.

Oh Yeah! I dyed my hair. It's darker, has red, and purple hidden in it.
