Outside Lands Fest 2012 part 1

A word of caution; this is an extremely picture heavy post and as the title says, these are Outside Land Festival photos! I attended two out of the three days of said festivities that happened in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. I got the chance to see Metallica, one of my all-time favorite bands play, as well as Regina Spektor, The Kills, Fun, Jack White, and even Stevie Wonder. It was the New Age Woodstock for those of you who want to know what it was like. Picture pretty ladies in pretty dresses with flowers in their hair and awesome guys in interesting get-ups. If you guys ever get the chance to attend, I truly, truly recommend that you go.

As for the outfit, I decided to keep it really casual and non-fussy because I wanted my shoes to be the focal point. These boots represent me perfectly because they are tough with a girly edge and that's exactly what I'm like. I also went ahead and changed out my normal black laces and replaced them with these pretty satiny ones that also came with the boots. However, if any of you are wondering how comfortable these babies are to wear in a festival that lasted over 10 hours, you can go ahead and ask me! They were fine for at least 7 hours, till after when my legs felt like they were carrying 20 pound bags of sugar on them. Man were they heavy! Oh well.... it's the price that comes with fashion.  

I could talk about my love for these boots for hours but I won't get in to that. Let's just say that they take some time to break into and that during this time, be prepared to suffer with a few blisters here and there. But anyways, onwards to festival talk......

This picture above was taken at wonder world, a cute little wooden stage lived here in which people covered in different costumes and white paint played some awesome Beatle songs. I especially like the banjo playing, way cool man!!

Hanging Candy Balls!

Lastly, this last picture with a random guy wearing a really huge hat made it in here because he was head banging like crazy, and I found it awesome that the hat managed to stay on his head the entire time. This was one amazing day! Stay tuned tomorrow for part 2 of my concert photos.

A Maxi Kind of Day

I'm back again! But I must warn you guys that it most likely won't be every day that I do a post. I just came back from my cruise to Mexico and just enjoying life in general, that I have put blogging on the back burner. But I will atleast try to post a bit more than I have been.

I have been enjoying this years' summer to no end, that blogging is the last thing on my mind. However, it is not out of my mind. But you guys can understand that when you choose to enjoy life, sometimes you forget to capture it on film because you just want to enjoy the moment. So I ask that you guys cope with me and keep on staying tuned.

These pictures are from a few weeks ago and I just remembered I had them. This maxi dress was purchased from my Memorial Day road trip to Disneyland. I have pictures on that too but I will have to hold off a bit more. Gotta scale them down.

I decided to pair this dress with my blue sandals to add a pop of color to the outfit. I think the peacock earrings also added a bit more flair to the look. I truly love this dress for the color and the material. It's a muted green but I feel that it can go for many different seasons. Not only summer. Ahh the joy of wearing a maxi dress and having it make you feel as if you are much taller than you really are. At least that's what I think.

What do you guys think about maxi's? How do you guys like to style them?

A DIY Dress & A Makers' Faire

First of all my apologies for a extremely picture-heavy post, but it could not be avoided. So this lovely dress that you are viewing is a creation made by ME! I fell in love with the thought of having a Galaxy piece of clothing when I saw this post by Rebecca, from the clothes horse. I just knew I had to have one! Unfortunately, I was a little late in the galaxy print game, so I could not find one to buy. So I thought to myself, 'why not make one?!' 

Hence, the beauty shown here! What do you guys think? It came out pretty cool if I do say so myself! I wish that the dress I used didn't have sleeves but anyways, I had to use what I had. So anyways...this dress was the perfect thing to wear to every nerds dream fair; the World Maker Fair. It was an awesome fair filled with pretty cool inventions and awesome handmade pieces. 



Shown below are a couple of fooling around pictures with my     special guy.

   Close-up shots of my awesome galaxy dress.

   A cool umbrella sculpture thing that blew fire from it.

   This mask was pretty cool, all made from metal.

Myself fooling around in the LED colored kelp.

This dragon car was made from different metals and had a bunch of cool LED lights in it. I swear that thing was trying to eat me!

Beads to play in.

The handmade owl I'm holding was begging to come home with me and come home with me it did!!

That giraffe, also made from the same people who made the owl, was also wanting to come home with me but didn't end up happening.

This wall was made entirely from recycled fabrics and the ground was a town made entirely out of tape. 

A certain someone looking mighty happy next to that blow-up robot.

This is what the sun looked like during the eclipse.

The eclipse made it possible for the shadows to create those tiny discs you see.

Oh and of course, no outing is complete without some blog shots for good measure. I also loved the different colored doors on each level of the parking lot. It made for some cool retro backdrops.
As for the fair, I recommend you guys go if there are any in your town. You can do a lot of meat things and there is a place where you can find many other handmade goodies. Things like: jewelry, clothing, and accessories were in abundance in that particular area. I was gifted some pretty gold earrings with birdies hanging down from them. I cannot wait to go again and you guys should go too!
