Fall is finally beginning to set in and I for one am thrilled! So just to prepare your minds you better be getting yourselves ready to see my fall fashion!
This week I was invited to a baby shower(yay!) and the theme for the baby shower was Moroccan/Japanese/Chinese/Thia. I immediately started racking my brain on what to wear and it wasn't long before I the perfect thing came to mind.
I got this AMAZING jacket/dress thing thats very Sgt. Peppers album/1960s inspired, if you dont know that album well shame on you and I wont tell you, google it!
So I pieced it together with a pair of pretty rocking tights and my scarf with the great wave painted on it. I also wore it with nude heels, I'm not so much into trendy fashion but nude heels really are a must have for me now.
Sgt. Peppers
All in all it worked out perfectly! I was so pleased and the baby shower was delightful.
Lastly I want to share my latest song obsession! Here it is
I was blessed with the amazing opportunity to see Paloma Faith play in San Francisco on her first American tour. I adore Paloma Faith and her amazing style and I have blogged about her before here!
I immediately got myself and my brother(a fellow Paloma lover) tickets to go see her at The Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco. On the 18th of September 2012 we made our way up to San Fran. We arrived and waited for what felt like eternity for Miss Paloma. She emerged on to the stage wearing a beautiful dress and her hair up in classic Paloma fashion. She opened with the song Let You're Love Walk In, I was brought to tears within seconds. Her voice is beautiful and strong and her stage presences is so powerful! I was thrilled and moved when she went into her second song 30 Minute Love Affair, a fantastic song, she danced and the audience was obviously loving it! After that she chatted with the audience for minute and had no trouble being her charming self. Here is the video I took of the song and a bit of the chatting!If you watch at the 34 second mark she looks
right at me and smiles!
BEST MOMENT EVER!
The next song preformed was Agony, this song is powerful and seeing it live was like no other experience I've had. It was truly one of those moments where I simply stood in aw and absorbed the moment. Next she played Let Me Down Easy and of course it was beautiful!
She than proceeded to play a song from her first album. the song was New York. The audience was in love, the room was bursting with voices that echoed the words "Her name was New York, New York". At one point she removed her ear piece and "free styled" it with the audience. It was so amazing hearing so much love and enthusiasm in that moment.
Black and Blue was the next and this is a song that is so beautifully true that you cant help but but adore it. Paloma introduced the song by talking about how she wanted to create a song about life and not so much about love but a strong song about life.
She introduced the next song by saying that she wanted to write about a modern love rather than the songs that are put out about how love supposedly is. She said it was how modern love really is.
Here is the video
As her next song begin she kicked off her shoes and stood up on the grand piano. She went on and said that she doesn't like people who tell her what to do and that for the next three and half minutes we were to be completely free and we were. Everyone danced and clapped and sang to the beautiful up beat anthem of love and freedom!
She closed the show with the songs Blood, Sweat and Tears and Picking Up The Pieces. She of course received a HUGE encore from all of us in the audience. For her encore she did a breathtaking version of Etta James's song I'd Rather Go Blind and she closed with Streets of Glory.
It was one of the best nights of my life, Paloma came out after and signed autographs and took pictures with all of us. She was sweet, kind and beautiful.
Here are some pictures from the show.
The set list
We got the set list and my brother got it signed!
My album she signed I got to meet her quickly and get a picture, you know in the films when the main character goes to say I love you and its the perfect moment and they choke and everyone watching just goes "how could they be so stupid! It was perfect!". Well I now understand, I got to say one thing and just as I was about to say "I love you so much!" I instead choked and simply said "Thank you for coming to America". In all the night was amazing and Paloma is and will forever be my role model. She is strong, charming and a truly genuine person. I love Paloma Faith.
Guess who's back?! Me! Its been ages so please excuse me but I am back and ready to rock and roll, so here it goes!
I went to Fresno, CA. a few weeks ago and while I was there I vised a thrift store called Yoshi NOW! and it was fantastic! I purchased a white/navy chevron print dress and a military jacket(I will post about that later). I was so impressed by the sheer amount of beautiful vintage items they carried. If you ever find yourself in Fresno stop by, you will not regret it!
I also have some exciting news to share! A bunny has been added to our family over the past two weeks. Her name is Harvey(After the bunny in the movie Harvey) and she is adorable!
My outfit today is my white/navy chevron dress, white tights, red shoes. For my hair I just simply twisted back the two front sides of my hair and my bangs are growing out so I just twisted those on top!
The chickens were out playing when I took these photo's, their names are Cora, Civil, Mary and Edith
(Yes, all after Downton Abbey characters).
When evening came I threw on a plain black pea coat.
