crave: timberlands

I crave fashion like I crave food. I'll get my mind set on an item, a trend, an idea and it becomes a craving. The second spring started for some reason I craved a pair of Timberlands. I didn't want to get a pair because they coast so much money!

However the thrift gods heard my wishes and I found a pair!

Ah! So beautiful.

You might be thinking "You bought Timberlands at the start of spring, what are you thinking?"

Well I believe they make a great spring/summer time boot. Plus they last a lifetime! They will be broken in just in time for winter. Plus living in Seattle, you need boots for the spring time rain.

Tank Top - (Target Pack) 3 for $5.00

necklace - (Goodwill) $1.99)

Belt - (St. Vincent De Paul) $1.00

shorts - (Goodwill) $3.00

tights - (Nordstorm Rack: $4.00)

BOOTS - (Nordstorm Rack: $85.00)*

*This is WITH tax

OK.... YES $85.00 is A LOT for a guttersnipe. However, compared to how much they usual coast, a pair of timberlands can run you about $150.00. These one's were on sale and were in the men's department. Sometimes it's OK to be a "consumer" you just have to be smart about it. Think before you buy and make sure it's worth it!

Tricks of the trade. Help for the hustle.

Now: some music.

OBSESSED: Lykke Li

I was first turned on to Miss Lykke Li by my best friend Jackie. She came to Seattle back in 2008 and we missed her show because we didn't know who she was. NOW we are curse the fact that we didn't know better.

She is a folk, pop, indie, sexy, and sweet tiny little thing. She has a voice like a dusty summer morning. I love her. And I am glad to see she is getting so big, I am not one of those people that are like "Yeah! But I knew her like ten years ago.." No. I am always happy to see artists blow up, that's the point isn't it!

Her scene of fashion is unbelievable amazing. It's like a pixie hippie. Very Stevie Nicks. It's thrown together, but looks great. Never trashy or like she's trying too hard. Great style for the summer time....
