I wish you dreamed half as much as I do. I met you in the dead of winter. Your hands were as red as the skin on your lips. When you came into my studio from the pouring rain, it's like the Gods knew it was time to start things over again. And both of us, whether we knew it or not, were waiting on love. Silent motion. Late night, pour a little. I was bleached and you were dark as night. Sun-kissed skin for sun-kissed souls. You enjoyed watching life through the mirror of art, like myself. Playing around the edges and filling in the details as you wished. Leaving a blank space where there was nothing to fill. It was these little eccentricities that wrapped our souls together. We were running in life's youthfulness. I found a warm home in the cave of your chest, where the spirit runs through you. I hear it all in the center of my heart.

"Hanging out behind the club on the weekend
Acting stupid getting drunk with my best friends
I couldnt wait for the summer and the warped tour
I remember its the first time that I saw her there
She's getting kicked out of school cause she failing
Im kind of nervous cause i think all her friends hate me
She's The One she'll always be there
She took my hand and i made it i swear
Because i fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said what and i told her that i didn't know
She's so cool when we're sneakin through her window
Everythings better when she's around
I can't wait till her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show."

Here's a look I put together majorly with two items from Revolve. The first are these Vivienne Skinny Jeans I bought from Revolve by Siwy. They're so awesome, they are jeans on the top but leather on the legs. So it looks like a leather pant, but all the comfort and flexibility of a good quality jean in the waist and butt. Next, is this black and white jacket by I purchased from Revolve by Line & Dot. It's super puffy, but chic. It's got little vegan leather cuffs with cute buttons on them!
Finally, I topped this look off with a fab pair of Zero UV sunglasses and this horn necklace I am obsessed with fromThe Blue Hen. Also, my tee is a cheap black one by Brandy Melville. I love their stuff!

I'm coming over. The tip of the collar bone protrudes. Dressed in grey from head to toe. Rib cage exposed. Drowned my cares in a coffee on the way.
She is free in her wildness, died young to save herself. A drop of water in the glass. Wood floors and messy bedsheets in your Soho apartment. She happened to things like passing of time. His life was stable until he met her. Cigarettes and rose petals on the lips. Your skin is like velvet and I'm in a dream.

My first New Year's Even in Manhattan was fancy magic. I've been in LA for the past two years on NYE so it was wonderful to celebrate in my home city. My boyfriend and some of our friends headed to the Soho Grand to celebrate the night with Exit Magazine. The night of course included endless champagne (I require that) and beautiful decorations, ballons, a ginat clock, velvet seats and dancing. I don't think David and I got home until 4/4:30 am.. I can't really remember, haha! I wore a full length lace dress by Stone Cold Fox. I've literally been drooling over this dress and so happy I finally treated myself to it over Christmas. I actually wish I got way better photos of my dress, but I'm sure I'll shoot it for my blog soon.
I'm excited to start a New Year, can't believe this will be my blog's 6th year!! It's amazing to see how it's grown from just a personal pastime into an actual business. I have a feeling this is going to be my biggest year yet! Much love and blessings to all of you who continue to ready my blog and ride along on my adventures over the year, I love you all so much & I Hate Blonde would be nothing without you.

Lucy's in the sky with diamonds. Lucy's high on the things she don't have. Her mind holds the key. There are flowers on the walls, and flowers in the window and flowers on the floor. Smashed petals blend into the leopard carpet, the spirit is lifted by the mere presence of another.
And she lives in magic, floating above it all. Nothing can touch her. It's all music, constant sounds and playing dress up. Wandering the streets of New York isn't as lonely as it seems, because she is filled with the perpetual desire to see more, do more, create more.
