Life just got uber complicated this week with another family member's job lose. I am going to have to speed up my move now. So, I will still be scare here for a while.

And time for PJ Harvey and Thom Yorke to play this blog post out:

A Short, Quiet, Blog, Interlude.

I am going to be a bit quiet here for a while. I have real life things just filling up my time plus I am focusing on two different creative projects. I will be spurrodically blogging now and again because of this but, not everyday. I am hoping things will calm down shortly and fashion will inspire me to blog here more often.

I have a post in the works about who my favorite desigenrs are and why I don't talk about high fashion that much in this blog. That is in the works at the moment.

Okay, off to get some things done today.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier: Boots Boots Boots!

These boots:

Are simply gorgeous and remind me of this song:

I would wear them in an instant and probably dig out my Adam and the Ants cd to dance around to this song in them.

Alexander McQueen...I Get Your Appeal Now.

I used to not understand why people loved Alexander McQueen but after seeing his Fall offerings, I get it now.

I wandered the Internet seeing what I would buy if I were to spend some hard earned cash on McQueen clothing and came up with this:

Above: Pleated Jersey Dress by Alexander McQueen

I am a fan of grey as a colour for Fall/Winer clothing and I love the pleated front. I also like the slit down the middle of the bust which adds a bt of 'sexy' to the dress. I would totally wear this dress in a heartbeat.

And maybe with these boots:

They are simple in style, yet gorgeous. I would totally love to own them.

Now, if I could just get the income coming in to support my love for high fashion clothing, shoes, and accessories I will be very happy...

Gorgeous Marimekko Tote

I have a deep love for Marimekko and the designs of this Finnish company. I have bedsheets, postcards, and even eye makeup featureing the floral designs from Marimekko.

Today I got this:

Above: Crusade Tote by Marimekko at Avon

It is roomy enough to carry quite a bit but, also purse size so not overwelmingly big. The colours are MUCH brighter in real life (as in bright red/pink) and it has a cool "Marimekko" tag on it so that makes me happy. It's simply gorgeous.

The best thing? It is $10 and all proceeds go to breast cancer research so if you love Marimekko, head over to Avon.com and snap one up!

The Perfect Kiss: Wonderful Draped Dress.

This dress:

The dress is just so gorgeous and it makes me think back to the underground dance parties/raves I went to in the late 80s/early 90s that were held in warehouses. Ahh those were the days.

Just imagine what it would look like dancing on a podium to this song:

Gogol Bordello Kick Ass Live!

It was like being a huge, gypsy, after-wedding, party due to the music and the spirit of the crowd. Much dancing around anf clapping to the songs. So much clapping I discovered a huge, purple, bruise on the underside of my ring finger on returning home.

Bands usually don't go all out in Spokane because the town is smaller and the crowds are smaller. Gogol Bordello didn't hold back and really performed full force! Their encore was 30 minutes long because they don't like to stop playing. They mentioned they may be back in Spokane in the future and the amusing thing?

They didn't play in Seattle this time at all.

I could have gone to the afterparty but wasn't sure how to get home in the early morning hours so passed...sadly. If I had my own car I would have gone for sure.

I took a few random snapshots with my Sony Cybershot which are a tad blurry but, the whole audience was jumping up and down to the music (and there were constantly changing lights) so it was hard to get a steady shot even with that option built into the camera.









So far, in the last two years I have seen 3 bands I had on my "Must see live"" list: radiohead, Flight of the Conchords, and now, Gogol Bordello.

I would see any of them again in an instant...especially radiohead and Gogol Bordello.

If you get the chance to see Gogol Bordello, YOU MUST GO!
I saw Gogol Bordello on Sunday night and......The concert KICKED ALL SORTS OF ASS!!!!
