Mix + Match, a place Libra can call home.

When in Libra, do as the Librans do-- 
In October, I'll be embracing the mixing of prints. 
Librans can't make up their pretty little minds, and so be it. May it rain plaids + polkadots.

Mercury in RETROgrade

I hate to the bearer of bad news, but yet again, Mercury is in Retrograde. major fail. Looks like we'll all be in slow-mo, socially inept, and breaking our iphones (i kid, 'cause i have a blackberry, and anyone with a blackberry knows you can't break or lose that motherfucker, no matter how hard you try).
There's not much to do about it, kiddies. 

Well, I suppose there are 3 solid options:
1. Lock yourself in a dark room until August 8th.
2. Brave the world, but in human-size bubble- a'la bubble boy
3. Follow suit and GO RETRO 

take your pick.

July 14th - August 8th 
good luck

oh, so RETROgrade

Mars moves into Libra...what are you going to do about it?

Why can't we all just get along? Well, now, we finally can...sort of. At least we're more open to compromise. With Mars' departure from nitpicky Virgo, we can now try to let go of sweating the small stuff, and welcome the move into Libra with a more diplomatic approach. If you're demeanor for the last 8 months has been tightly wound, now is the perfect time to put down the gloves, and take a more friendly route. So, as of July 3rd, I say kiss and make-up, buy your friends/colleague a beer, and think with consideration before you act. I know it all sounds like daisies and sunshine, but it won't be that simple. Although, personally, I'll gladly welcome a little less confrontation, Mars is kind of squirmy living in Libra. It's like squeezing into that size 0 dress when you know you wear a solid 4. Mars feels much more at home in it's ruling sign of Aries, which happens to be the opposite of Libra on the chart, so we can clearly see the struggle, thus leads to a weak effect. Basically, it might just mean taking a few more deep breaths- Forcing yourself to be pleasant to your arch nemesis- and think twice before your cut yourself a new pair of 'new you' bangs. Here's a little care package for the switch over to help things along

Crab Cakes

Since June 22nd, I've been ever so giddy that we're in the Sun sign of Cancer! It just so happens to be one of my favorite of the 12. Cancers, themselves, typically are nurturing, highly emo, slow-paced, kind, yet often prone to moodiness. The crab's personality and sentimental nature inspires an aesthetic of yesteryear. More specifically, I drool over 50's-early 60's housewives/ladies who lunch/vixens. During July, I can solely survive on A-line skirts, cat eye sunnies, high waisted anything, and vintage everything. Now, I may be biased. Cancer is my rising sign: meaning it's the sign that was coming up over the eastern horizon the moment you're born(I'll touch upon this more sometime soon), but as far as what it has to do with it's influence: the rising sign is what you show the world, it's how you wear yourself, your shell--which is my case is a crab-shell. Too much? Not funny? Impossible. In any case, here's the bee's knees...

Spring is in the Aries

I like to think of this time of year as a re-do of the New Year! The first born sign of the Zodiac, Aries makes it's debut on the calendar, and so it begins, all of it-All over again. All is fresh and new and smells better. All is spoiled and young. All is naive and bold. There is no holding Spring back- It's coming up from the ground-pastels and peplums.

To be desired:
1. crisp/clean button up shirts
2. Bold/Print shorts
3. Aggressive/pretentious accessories
4. either prep school loafers or leg extending heels.

Piece of Pisces

With Pisces here and queer, I declare it the month of scales, fins, and fancy delusion- A drowning kind of romance - All things lousy & washed out disguised with fantasy and the most glorious shoe collection. Pisces is quite the feminine fish, so soften up and surrender to the aesthetic of undone, post sex hair / lace/ sheer/ trains/embellishments/velvet/ruffles/diluted colors/floral/watercolor prints/feathers.
For fishies it's more about a costume than an outfit-A chance to use their imagination-and communicate. Though they're highly emotional, it's not their nature to spill their guts--Pisces do it through creating a scene through their threads.
Swim on, fish

Aquarius Nation Inspiration

With Aquarius in full swing, I'd like to make known my inspirations as of late.
Eclectic cosmic punk
.lucite.spikes.metallic.asymmetrical.oneofakind.metal.absurd.
You may or may not be asking "what the fuck"? Well, the fuck is a little like this

POLISH SHMOLISH- "GONE GONZO"

'Gone Gonzo', a blue glitter polish from the 2011 OPI 'Muppet' Collection is my color of choice to kick off Aquarius. It reminds me of what it would look like if the sea and sky came together just for your manicure. Seems likely, right? Crazier things have happened. No? Well, anything is possible in the mind of an Aquarius, so at least they can get into it.
