patterned crop top- for sale at milk + honey vintage

lady aladdin pants- jean greige hand me downs

Here's a better look at the britches from last post, paired with this patterned little milk + honey vintage cropped number, which is for sale!!!! (check milk + honey's instagram: milkhoneyvintage) I love this top...its like if medical scrubs came in really cool alternative cuts and stylezzz. I took a page from my best pal Steph and went a little "loud ass pattern on loud ass pattern" to hang with my lady gang the other night. My work dress code tries to keep me down so this is really me just acting out off the clock. Also I wanted to show you guys some everyday poses in some everyday clothes...natural and true. I am good model, no?

derp queen, great job! super model, sex appeal baby.

Had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with milk + honey vintage  on their newest lookbook, Wallflowers  See the whole lookbook here!  

As I write this post, I am sitting in Ashley's apartment. To my right,  a lit up Christmas tree, to my left, that fuckin girl, prancing around in pasties and a tutu like the most perfect thing you've ever see. Forgive the gushing that will follow, I'm all Christmas light washed in warm good babe town fuzzies.

Ashley has quickly become one of my dearest Houston comrades.  She's the kinda girl who drives you to a parking garage rooftop to bare your breasts to the skyline in the middle of the night. She flips off the security cameras and laughs like a child. Professionally she is sharp, insightful and creative.  I really believe in her company and the milk honey product.  Ashley's vision for this shoot was beautiful and it was really kinda magical to be apart of... the warm light, the dresses, the perfect interior, and of course our angel faced model, Kelso

Check out the full lookbook and shop Milk+Honey for the holidays!

you come from day old flour.

Isn't the collar on this jacket just everything? I borrowed it from my ma. Mrs. Thiebaud's got some sweet school lady style. I believe its a Gap number. I really should just go ahead and get rid of these tights. They are so saggy and loose and ripped to shit and no longer do that magical thing a new fresh pair of tights can do which is hold up and squeeze in all that good thigh meat. Like a fine sausage casing. I need all the help I can get managing my leg girth.  These back in Texas home cooked meals are starting to show. But really who fucken cares, just more warmth for winter.

Spent my day off with some of my favorite people, both human and canine. I had one of those rare and fleeting moments of euphoria driving through the heights today. Light Leaves by WHY? came on and the sky was this amazing gradient from yellow to orange to pink to blue and an airplane leaving Bush Intercontinental was streaking its way through all the up there, painting jet trails above an unruly lawn, overgrown urban jungle and three wild headed babies on bikes and trikes and razor scooters zooming through it all while Yoni sang about his sperm dying in the sewer of Cincinnati. 

Currently I am listening to The Drums and conjuring up text poem nonsense and strung together silliness with my Alabama baby, SallyCat. We wrote matching angsty biscuit poems. This may be the first biscuit-centric thing I've ever written with a negative connotation. I just love the word so damn much. 

you are a stale old biscuit

i liked your brother better

he was fresh and warm

and fluffy good

i buttered him in morning light.

you taste of chalk

you come from

day old flour

been sitting on your mother's counter

and dirtying her apron.

i don't want 

to fuck 

your biscuit ass

again.
