And we'll love 'til the lights shine through

If you have seen my latest music play lists, which are quite a recent addition to this blog, you should guess that as my vintage taste does not stop just for shoes/clothes. I am a big fan of music from all the way from the 20's to the 90's, with the concentration in the 60's, 70's & 80's. Recently, I have sort of rediscovered an English rock band, Smokie, from the 60's/70's whose sound I just absolutely adore. They are still active but my favorite songs from them generated when they were just starting. Not too mention I absolutely love Chris Norman, who was a singer with them at the time. He was gorgeous and has the most unique and great voice! I want my boyfriend, if that ever happens, to look like him. But honestly, Chris Norman's great teenage looks aside, they were a great band. So have a listen to them! I hope you enjoy them as I do. What are your favorite bands? I would love to know!





My Favorite Smokie Songs Playlist
  1. Needles & Pins
  2. I Cant Stop Loving You
  3. For A Few Dollars More
  4. It's Your Life
  5. Take Good Care Of My Baby
  6. If You Think You Know How To Love Me
  7. Bang Bang
  8. Babe Its Up To You
  9. I'll Meet You At Midnight
  10. I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight
These are just a few of the songs I like. I hope you have a listen to them because they really are a great band!

the boys are back in town

















So, if you haven't guessed it by now, I will tell you that I am a shoe person. I love shoes. Vintage inspired shoes being my weakness. Below are some shoes that I am dying to buy.... All of them. Too bad i can't afford them in this cruel world.

all I want is something to believe in

Alright, so sometimes i am inspired by fashion choices other people make. Well, recently my friend had introduced me to a style icon who I now believe is quite cool. Her name is Edie Sedgwick. I have never ever heard of her before but due
to my friends infatuation with her, I had come to appreciate her. It is impossible to deny that her life had not been tragic or horrid because it was. But what I really like about her was that she was always herself. Her kooky ways was just who she was. And that is how she had become famous. She was Andy Warhol's superstar. Below are a few things that had appeared through out her wardrobe which are incredibly cool.

1) Black Tights



2) Shoulder length Earrings/Dramatic Jewelry



3) Mod Makeup



4) Leotards


5) Boat necks

Speak how you feel so the words sound real

"Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
The Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to
Alice: I don't much care where.
The Cat: Then it doesn't much matter which way you go.
Alice: …so long as I get somewhere.
The Cat: Oh, you're sure to do that, if only you walk long enough.
"
-from Alice In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
