magic moments

it's fitting that my final post of 2011 is a nashville post because the two weeks i spent there were truly the best two weeks of the year.
on day five in tennessee the boy and i took a tour of the ryman auditorium. it's the "church of country music". it's an incredible concert hall with arguably the best acoustics in the world, so much history in those walls. displayed in it's halls are all the hatch show print posters that have been made for recent shows held at the ryman. i wish i could have seen them all, bruce springsteen, van morrison, patty griffin, the list goes on and on...

tonight i'm going to be channelling stevie nicks in a vintage sheer black maxi to celebrate not only the new year, but also my friends, jackie and mike's wedding!
here's to an amazing 2012 with lots of love, luck and laughter.

lisbeth salander/rooney mara

rooney mara and daniel craig at the new york premiere of girl with the dragon tattoo

all of rooney's premiere looks this week have been edgy and oh so lisbeth, but this prabal gurung/christian louboutin combo is my favourite.
it blends the tough edge of her character with the softer, sexier rooney, so gorgeous.
i can't wait to see this movie, i adored the book series and the swedish films.

kate moss for vibe magazine - 1994



vintage mossy circa 1994
these incredible shots were taken by dana lixenberg in nyc for vibe magazine, but never ran.
they've been released in the new Vs. magazine and i can't wait to get a copy for full size images.
i mean kate in a gangsta parka, my 90's heart swells, definite wall gracers.
thanks for discotheque confusion for the heads up.

take me down to paradise park




day 3 in nashville - headed over to hillsboro village to check out the shops and grab breakfast at fido cafe. i ate their mcfido (above picture) sandwich 3 times while i was in nashville #obsession it's a must visit, great atmosphere, coffee and food. after buying a gorgeous wooden ships knit from posh boutique and some jewelry at pangaea the boy and i walked over to the belmont university area to check out a vintage store called local honey. i bought a 90's floral maxi skirt, but unfortunately not the incredibly rad patrick swayze shirt i'm wearing above. there are so many cute houses and buildings in the area so i grabbed some outfit shots in front of one. i had to show you guys my "tammy taylor" jeans, can't go to tennessee without some flares.


later that night i changed into my favourite bruce springsteen tee and the boy and i headed to paradise park (i left the new cowboy hat at home). every friday and saturday the jason james band plays the country/rock classics and they kill it. by midnight the astroturf floor is soaked with beer and everyone is singing along to every song. especially these two... the kids love the park.
