STYLE MUSE: JANE BIRKIN

my last featured style muse was the amazing lou doillon so of course i had to feature her very own personal style muse, her mother, jane birkin. possibly one of the most beautiful creatures ever to have been created, jane was vibrant, full of life and the epitomy of sex kitten back in the 60's & 70's. she has had a long lived career as a model/actress & singer, hermes named & designed the ever popular birkin bag after her and she has collaborated with countless musicians and recording artists such a feist, beth gibbons, the smiths, francoise hardy, portishead, franz ferdinand and many others. she has magnificent style, still today just as much as she did back then. 

SATURDAY.

i am so so sorry for not blogging regularly this past week, but as you all know, my kiddos come home in just 4 days and i have been preparing. we're doing all the finishing touches on the house, have to go grocery chopping and finish the planning of their welcome home party! i'm so excited.

here are some photo's that i found from last years halloween carnival of my little ones. i did the TTV photoshop tutorial which i learned about from my friend elsiecakes. love love love how they turned out!

also, hoping to get done in time to catch summer fest tomorrow to see of montreal, broken social scene and explosions in the sky. crossing fingers that there is time.

gotta get to work!

3. these cute studded ballet slippers.

4. gorgeous stacked mismatching rings.

5. bliss lou riot bracelet.

6. this big tee dress. i could live in it!

7.  the ever so popular bliss lau chain.

8. i love to dancy dance in my living room.

9. these little coin purse/pencil holders from etsy are a must.

i can't remember the name of the shop. if you do, please let me know. thanx!

10. big eyed mod art.

{i have a small collection which i hope is soon to get bigger.}

and look at the paper dolls from 1967.

would love to find these one day!

the bob dylan concert was amazing, by the way. he covered jimi hendrix -

all along the watchtower for his last song. it was incredible!

it was so hot outside & we had lawn seats so it was a dirty, sweaty show, but still great. we danced and listened to willie nelson & john mellencamp open the show and bobby d came on after dark. i couldn't believe that i was laying under the stars, on a blanket listening to bob dylan, live, with the one i love. it was magical.

we took a couple pix while it was still light outside.

they're not the best quality because we couldn't

bring a camera into the show so we took pics with our iphones.

we bought a blanket beforehand and it shed like crazy so we were both

covered in white fuzzies. haha. fun fun.

my momma just told me that i met bob dylan when i was 4 and he shook my little hand but then they started passing around the plate, if ya know what i mean, and we had to go. haha! maybe i'll get to shake his hand again 25 years later. crossing fingers!
