I am very susceptible to heat stroke and sunburn. I wear a lot of sunscreen and drink a lot of water. And I wear as little as I can. It's been so hot I haven't even put my jewelry on some days. I haven't been great about taking pictures, but here are a few random things...<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/7487216116/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="320" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8152/7487216116_384f907854_n.jpg" width="320" /></a> 2. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/7487217572/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="320" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7277/7487217572_d3d21907d3_n.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />

<br />
1. <a href="http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/adventuretime/index.html">Adventure Time </a>is one of our favorite shows and I made Nathan this paper plate mask like Finn the Human's Nightosphere disguise.<br />
2. Puppy cuddles always make me smile.<br />
3. Pretty good advise taped to the display case at the <a href="http://www.thearmystore.com/">Army Store</a><br />
4. I'm getting better ar head wraps. I love letting my dirty hair go one more day. Because I am lazy.<br />
5. This vintage Dior robe comes with the power of relaxation.<br />
6. <a href="http://winterkate.com/">Winter Kate</a> silk Kimono. Just one of many truly indulgent and ridiculous gifts from <a href="http://xoxs.tumblr.com/">Stevie</a>, who gives great gifts. <br />

When I like my outfit, I feel good. I feel confident.<br />

When I feel confident I have more fun.<br />

<br />
When I'm having fun, I ask random adorable strangers to pose for a picture so I can capture the perfection of our matching pompadours. <br />
<br />

We didn't get to stay for the whole night, since we had another show to get to, but we heard a couple of hours and she did a great job!<br />
<br />
I wore this:<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/7356386150/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7093/7356386150_7dc66374bc.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
And I LOVED it. I often dress young for my age. I'm OK with that, but this outfit felt age appropriate, but still young and fresh. And that silk skirt! Swish swish swish. So Lush.<br />
<br />

I've been finding ways to wear this denim studded vest everywhere because it has so many pockets, I can leave the handbag at home and it's so freeing.<br />

Just so you know. Clubs are almost always too loud for me.)<br />
<br />
It was my husbands DJ night at Inwood Lounge so I got dressed up. It was one of those nights. I tried on every single thing I owned and hated all of it. And then I took one last cruise through the racks in my dressing room and...BOOM! Hidden behind a floral print silk romper was this plain black silk one. I had completely forgotten about it. It happens. I slipped it on, added a kimono and felt perfect.<br />

1. I<b> LOVE </b>breakfast.This is a pretty typical breakfast for me... cinnamon raisin toast, honey nut cream cheese, blueberries and strawberries with a honey drizzle and a sprinkle of cinnamon and a boiled egg. <br />
2. I am super into bright pink lips right now, and this new Revlon JustBitten Kissable Balm Stain is one of my favorites. Goes on smooth, doesn't dry my lips out and has a fresh soft mint scent. <br />
3. Love it when you make plans to meet friends out and end up having chance encounters with even more friends.<br />
4. Puppy kisses. <br />
5. and 6. Summer is for pretty cocktails.<br />
7. and 8. Warren's epic and classy Memorial Day Party. Thank you, Warren. Maybe next year we will actually meet.<br />
9. and 10. There was bingo, based on chicken's pooping. It was weird. And kind of fun.<br />
11. Nathan has a monthly DJ gig with a partner called Vinyl Fantasy, where they play soul, psych and all kinds of fun stuff. Sometimes there is dancing. Those are the best times.<br />
12.When in doubt, wear Free People and all your favorite jewelry. <br />

Twiggie Smalls says have a safe and fun long weekend!Nana Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00202166011433938916noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780247985104223810.post-41542657819153263812012-05-23T09:34:00.000-05:002012-05-23T09:35:37.386-05:00If You Built Yourself A MythIt feels good to be making jewelry again. I don't know how it is for other artists, but for me, it can take a while for the inspiration to hit. Sometimes if I seek it out, I can find it. Other times, I have to wait patiently for it to come to me. I get nervous. I get bored. I get frustrated. There are false starts. But it always works out in the end. And then I have something to offer the world that wasn't there before. Wearable art. Adornment. It's my passion. I love it. I love to adorn and be adorned.<br />
<br />
I bought this silk dress at the Austin Buffalo Exchange, <a href="http://thexsfiles.wordpress.com/">Stevie</a> had pulled it for me and as soon as I tried it on I knew I loved it. I wore it the same night but I didn't think things through, the silk is light as air and it was breezy. Lesson learned. Pettipants are a necessity with this dress. <br />
<br />

<br />
I hadn't worn it since that first go, I wasn't sure how to style it really. But when I made this necklace on Monday they suddenly seemed like a perfect match. The necklace is heavy and the silk is so light. I liked how they played off each other.<br />
<br />

<br />
Stevie put together a similar one, and we are both really in love with the concept. Mine is onyx, pearls and silver. Stevie's has some rose quartz and a gorgeous rose quart point on the end. I can't wait to see what we come up with next!<br />

Elements is a gorgeous boutique filled with silk, silver and stingray. Luxe from wall to wall, they also have some of the most attentive and knowledgeable shopgirls in town.I'm extremely excited to have the opportunity to produce some pieces for them and I hope you get a chance to go check it out. <br />
<br />
I set up a little work station by the window...<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/7197994504/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7227/7197994504_889bdef7d7.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
But of course a girl likes to be on the move so I've got a bit of a portable station as well!<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/7197993372/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8001/7197993372_b7b7be1573.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
For the first set of pieces I am using some beads that Connie, the lovely owner of Elements, has been stockpiling for a while, as well as some things I've got leftover from my Etsy days. I love that it is in keeping with my blog theme, I'm working with what I've got. I laid out the materials and just let them sort of be in my line of vision for a couple of days and then, as they tend to do, they started becoming pieces in my head, so I did my best to bring them to life. I'm very happy with the results!<br />
<br />
Here are some sneak peek shots I took...<br />

I was not the only one who loved it. It was surprisingly and intensely popular with older ladies. I had them stop me on the street, and chat my up in the ladies room. They called me brave, and fun, and "so cute" and applauded my willingness to step outside of the box and have a little fun with my outfit. And they made me feel like a super star.<br />
<br />

<br />
I had planned to wear my leather fringe vest, but this denim shirt Nathan suggested ended up being perfect. It tones down both the sweetness of the lace and the sexiness of the length and sheerness of the tunic. I don't think you can see them really but I am wearing the most amazing distressed cutoffs made from vintage Levi's.<br />

My headband was made by my friend Casey, she uses realllllllly flexible headbands and I normally can't wear a headband at all without getting horrible pain behind my ears and I can wear the ones Casey uses all day. Let me know if you'd like one and I'll hook you up with Casey!<br />

<br />
We stopped for gas and I decided to try whatever the most over the top or ridiculous energy drink flavor I could find was...<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/7119401429/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7250/7119401429_dd06a73b3c.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
Actually crazy delicious.<br />
<br />
We made a stop at <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/style-station-vintage-clothing-west">Style Station</a> on the way out and I found this amazing Guatemalan blanket coat I mentioned in my previous post...<br />

Isn't that amazing? I spent more than I meant to spend on any one thing and it meant fewer overall purchases for the trip, since I was on a tight budget, but I don't regret it!<br />

I like to take pictures with my phone that I can reference while on my trip if I need inspiration or want to remember a particular outfit. The thing is, while it helps me pack, and makes me feel confident I'll be able to find something fun to wear each day...I rarely wear anything I planned exactly as planned. In fact, I preplanned 4 outfits for Austin Psych Fest, but I didn't wear a single one of them exactly as intended, even though they are fabulous outfits as planned. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6967867656/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7203/6967867656_0f6323357e.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
The very DAY we got to Austin I found an amazing cowboy boot inspired pair of Gianni Binni ankle boots at the Buffalo Exchange for $14.50 ($14.50! For leather ankle boots!), which I wore instead of these clog boots with this outfit. Plus I bought a necklace and <a href="http://thexsfiles.wordpress.com/">Stevie</a> gifted me a necklace and I wore both of them with this.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6969992060/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7263/6969992060_7939a43e98.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
I LOVE this outfit and plan to wear it soon, but I didn't wear it on the trip, because I ended up buying an amazing 1990's fit and flair floral maxi Lelaina Pierce would have been so proud of and it looked amazing with my fringe leather vest and new ankle boots, so I wore that instead.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6969993588/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7040/6969993588_db3c103395.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
I swapped the leather shorts for jean shorts and wore this on the drive out and first day. I bought an amazing lightweight Guatemalan blanket coat on the way there at Style Station and wore that the rest of the day instead of the leopard kimono.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6969992820/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7101/6969992820_ed10a1b7af.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
I didn't wear this at all. Instead I wore some shorts Stevie and I worked on shredding as a DIY project on the drive up. Stevie thought she had gone to far, but they actually came out perfect. I also wore a vintage Siouxsie and the Banshees tee Nathan got me last time he was in Austin and the Guatemalan blacket coat with my new ankle boots.<br />
<br />
Planning for a trip is essential. You should know how the clothes in your bag work as outfits and you should have as many outfits as you know you might need, I always throw in a couple extra tees and a pair of jeans just in case. And never feel like you have to wear what you planned. Work with what you;ve got, but don't feel like a slave to the plan.Nana Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00202166011433938916noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780247985104223810.post-44780924820763162472012-05-04T14:34:00.000-05:002012-05-04T14:34:23.569-05:00How's 'Bout Cookin' Somethin' Up With Me?I've been making some amazing things to eat lately...<br />

A salad made of bite sized pieces of honeycrisp apple, shaved Parmesan, a drizzle of honey and a little course black pepper. So fresh and summery! <br />

I had wanted one for a while, but Nathan wasn't so sure. I knew I needed to get a dog smaller than my first love, who is 12 pounds and a big ol scardy baby. I also knew I wanted to rescue again. On a whim one Tuesday I went to <a href="http://www.avenuebarket.com/">Avenue Barket</a> to see the owner, Cindy, who has been known to help place a sweet baby or two. I told her I was looking to rescue again and the VERY NEXT DAY, she came over and told me she had a friend who had found a little 6 pound chihuahua on the streets, scared and malnourished and was I interested in meeting him? OF COURSE I WAS. I went over and saw him and it was love at first sight. He had a cut on his leg and a scar on his nose, and his little tail bones were jutting right out of his tiny underfed body. I took him straight to the vet, had him chipped and checked out and took him home to love him all better. His name is Twiggie Smalls, but he just goes by Smalls.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6822549622/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7065/6822549622_6d068d95f7.jpg" alt="Untitled" height="500" width="500" /></a><br />In the little Christmas fleece he was wrapped in when I took him home...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6968673663/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7037/6968673663_712e9c031a.jpg" alt="Untitled" height="500" width="500" /></a><br />He was so tired he was falling alseep standing up. Life on the streets is so hard for a little one!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6968673309/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7055/6968673309_728b32edf4.jpg" alt="Untitled" height="500" width="500" /></a><br />With P.

He sleeps all the time and when he's not sleeping he moves so fast it just comes out a blur on camera. He can jump up on furniture from halfway across the room now, he's gotten so strong!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6901594226/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7068/6901594226_e630b9b35c.jpg" alt="Untitled" height="500" width="500" /></a><br /><br />He's here to stay.Nana Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00202166011433938916noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780247985104223810.post-7882289899297110092012-04-11T13:08:00.004-05:002012-04-13T10:24:25.211-05:00Run The World GirlsWhen <a href="http://thexsfiles.wordpress.com/">Stevie</a> and <a href="http://seaofshoes.com/">Jane</a> and I get together we take approximately a billionty pictures of ourselves.

That style you can go to on those days when you just can't seem to put an outfit together to save your life. My default look as of late is vintage band tee + useless flowy kimono type topper + super slim fit jeans + all the jewelry I can fit on my body.

They are a 7 and a half, but since they are a vintage fit, they fit my size 6 feet beautifully.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6914785758/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5347/6914785758_c2f5dc58fb.jpg" alt="Untitled" height="500" width="500" /></a><br /><br />I just want to wear them all the time.

It was a blast. Any reason to dress up is a good reason to dress up.<br /><br />I wore a black leather and knit tank, a lace fishtail maxi and bike shorts (modesty!)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6726425701/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7029/6726425701_7ba357fb2d.jpg" alt="" height="500" width="500" /></a><br /><br />I felt great, but I was FREEZING. Normally spaces get all packed out and hot during a party, but this one refused to warm up even when the event got this packed...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6726458979/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7153/6726458979_6799edb064.jpg" alt="" height="500" width="374" /></a><br /><br />I took my jacket off anyway. For effect, you know. Sometimes we suffer to look good. Nathan's set was of course, amazing, and I really enjoyed the other DJs as well (DJ Business Casual, Sarah Jaffe and DJ Sober).<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6726435575/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7028/6726435575_39d2b002c4.jpg" alt="" height="500" width="500" /></a><br /><br />His bow tie has tiny skulls.<br /><br />There was a LOT of jewelry happening...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6726432849/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7145/6726432849_6c1a826977.jpg" alt="" height="500" width="500" /></a><br /><br />And pinball...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6726434411/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7035/6726434411_7603c112df.jpg" alt="" height="500" width="373" /></a><br /><br />I bustled my skirt for dancing...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6726432341/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7170/6726432341_8e5bd4869f.jpg" alt="" height="500" width="374" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6726435107/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7016/6726435107_c8c5436e80.jpg" alt="" height="500" width="500" /></a><br /><br />And hung out with pretty people.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6726433941/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7034/6726433941_e6472d231c.jpg" alt="" height="500" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6726433203/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7009/6726433203_a176bb0306.jpg" alt="" height="500" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/erindyan/6726458013/" title="Untitled by erindyan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7019/6726458013_dae972e2bf.jpg" alt="" height="500" width="500" /></a><br /><br />And had an awesome time.<br /><br />Tank and skirt, vintage via Buffalo Exchange<br />Jacket, H&M via Buffalo Exchange<br />Shoes, Aldo<br />Bag, EtsyNana Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00202166011433938916noreply@blogger.com9
