ROCK HARD

Ok, so last night I went to a concert with my dear friend Aneesa to check out a band that we were both semi-obsessed with years ago. They were pretty boys with coiffed hair and slick 80’s synthy beats–kinda Killers but not. I actually got invited back onto the tour bus that night, which came very close to swooping me off to Oregan where they had their next show. Aneesa always tells me I shoulda stayed on the bus and lived a bohemian life. But of course, being who I am I got off because I had an organic chemistry midterm the next day. Long story short, I saw them again last night and kinda fell in love all over again.

I thought I would take a stab at wearing a garter and I must say it’s quite fun; I think I’ll definitely do this again. The only drawback is being mistaken for a hooker, but that seems like part of the territory when you’re taking pictures under a bridge. I guess they didn’t see Peter snapping away??

And an update on the DINSKO boots that I wanted: they are en route to Vancouver thanks to my new favorite person Maria! I can’t wait to get my hands on them and replace my Zoe’s, because well, let’s be honest, if I wear those all the time, they will be destroyed in a few months.

I recently ordered a bunch of goodies and am eagerly awaiting them in the mail. I love getting packages!

    Love your outfit a lot! The shirt is great idea I wouldn´t have though of. The only thing that I don´t like are the two black straps that comes out of the socks… They make it less elegant.

    Wooooow Dear Vanessa YES I am will never failed to be mesmerized by the way these ” worn as you” over-the-knee boots tend to “sulfurize” the nude part of silky-like thights , a fortiori with such dark tights, very “Alcôve aesthetics scorching-ly turned into day to day Reality” (Pffffffffffff AND now I truly need to catch my Breathe) !!!!!

    Jade, I am wearing a pair of over the knee stockings from American Apparel; they are a little thick and very opaque–really sexy in my opinion :)
    Hope to see you around here again soon!

    a) This is an amazing outfit, I have been looking at a similar pair of boots from topshop. Brave!

    b) I studied biochemistry at uni too, and know all too well the guilt that goes with having to memorise the chemical formula for 50,000 proteins and thinking you should probs go home now, and not get on the tour bus dammit!! arginine, lysine….blah blah blah
