Sky with Diamonds

I've always been obsessed with the 60's ad 70's. Ever since I can remember I've been fascinated with the whole way of life. The clothes, people, and the music are so amazing, I just wish I could have been apart of it. Not until I discovered vintage photographs of my mother did I really realize how much I loved the decades. She was the ideal flower child.  In her class pictures she resembles that of Twiggy. Thin, with long blonde hair parted right down the middle, micromini or babydoll dress, and make up that makes her look like the girl with kalediscope eyes. She was iconic.
In highschool I wrote a paper on Woodstock, which involved intense researching, and after that I knew I was meant to be a hippy child. Whether it's the Beatles, or the bohemian-hippy-bold fashion, something about that era grabs me. Those who know my secret vices will say that it is completely normal to walk into my room, and see me laying on the bed with candles lit listening to the best of the Beatles (a secret that now everyone knows). Their music is never going to go out of style. It seems that everyday something old becomes a new trend. Mostly in music and fashion, but even the mentality seems to be making a comeback.

Inspiration

I can't define myself as being in a single trend category [boho, edgy,

classic]. I enjoy wearing black silk shorts with grey knit sweaters

and black flip flops. Simple. Kinda boring. I'm starting to get more

inspiration from different sources, such as Taylor Tomasi Hill.

I absolutely adore her style. She mixed different colors, patterns,

textures and styles to get something that is perfectly her.

I'm amazed how many rings Vanessa Hudgens can't fit on her fingers.

She always seems to be wearing at least 3 on each hand. I love the

random assortment she has on at once. From small and simple to

oversized. I love it. And am inspired.

Here are some pictures from my Shopbop wish-list, Taylor, many of Tommy

Ton's photographs, and more.

Sleeping in a Man's Bed

Never dream alone. That’s my motto.

I have finally finalized a plan of how to decorate my room! I could not be more excited. The first picture is my inspiration. Since my boyfriend has finally come around to the idea of me painting the apartment bright electric blue [Carrie Bradshaw apartment makeover], I am designing the bedroom with a masculine feel. When you go to sleep, you want to feel cozy, warm, and in the arms of a man. SO, I am making my room feel like a man’s room.

With espresso colored velvet drapes covering the entire wall behind the bed, it will immediately feel warm [Let’s face it people. I live in Boston: the coolest place during winter]. With the help of Pottery Barn, I will use their frame risers to protrude oversized black and white photos behind the bed. Under the large [very high, which means little light] windows, I will place mirror the same size under it, so when the matching table lamps are on, the light will reflect the whole room. Brilliant!

That’s all I have for now. I’ll show ya when it’s done.

Xo,

Ash.
