2 Fab!




This isn’t for everyone, but I really do adore this Dolce & Gabbana dress that Molly Sims wore to the CFDA Fashion Awards. In fact it was my favorite dress from last week! Molly is someone who I sometimes forget about, but it’s moments like this that make me love her and her taste in fashion. You could argue the cocktail dress is a little overly dramatic, but as far as I’m concerned it really was the perfect choice for the annual fashion awards. I absolutely love the shape of the skirt and the print. If you haven’t noticed yet, look closely for Marilyn Monroe’s mug.

Oh Gossip Girl, how I miss thee.... :( I'm honestly shocked at the amount of drama series I've kept up with. I can not wait for the news series about Lily in her younger years!! Bring on the after school drama :)

Just thought I'd share this hilarious video. Enjoy :)

A year in the life of a shattered Rock Star...



The Heroin Diaries from Nikki Sixx.


"People over the years have tried to soften the blow by saying maybe being in Motley Crue turned me into an addict... but I don't think it did. That stroke of genius was all my own work. Even as a kid I was never inclined to dodge a bullet. I was always the first one to take it right between the eyes. I was stubborn, strong-willed, and always willing to put myself in harm's way for the betterment of chaos, confusion, and rebellion- all the traits that made me famous and late infamous. Then when I moved to L.A. in the late '70s and discovered cocaine, it only amplified these charming characteristics. But alcohol, acid, cocaine... they were just affairs. When I met herion, it was true love."

-Nikki Sixx

A buddy of mine was quite excited about this book, he just had to have it. He lent it to me to read, and I've only just finished reading it. I have to say it was quite amazing, but not in the way you'd think, well I don't really know if stories about drug addicts appeal to you. It's one of the most unique memoirs of addiction ever published, Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx shares mesmerizing diary entries from the year he spiraled out of control in a haze of herion and cocaine, presented alongside riveting commentary from people who were there at the time, and from Nikki himself.

When Motley Crue was at the height of its fame, there wasn't any drug Nikki wouldn't do. He spent days- sometimes alone, sometimes with other addicts, friends, and lovers- in a coke and heroin-fueled daze. I don't know why but I couldn't put the book down. In the book Nikki shares those diary entries- some poetic, some scatterbrained, some bizarre- and reflects on that time. I'd recommend you read it :)

Speeding Cars- Imogen Heap

Here's the day you hoped would never come
Don't feed me violins
just run with me through rows of speeding cars.
The papercuts the cheating lovers
The coffee's never strong enough
i know you think it's more than just bad luck

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now, now darling
oh don't lose your head
cause none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah

Sleeping pills know sleeping dogs lie
never far enough away
Glistening in the cold sweat of guilt
I've watched you slowly winding down for years
You can't keep on like this...
now's a bad a time as any

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling
oh don't kill yourself
cause none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah

it's ok by me..

it's ok by me..

it's ok by me..it was a long time ago


it's ok by me..

it's ok by me..

it's ok by me..it was a long time ago

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling
oh don't lose your head
cause none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah

There there baby
