Stay Sexy

There's nothing better than speaking your mind on matters that mean the most to you. Thus, I was surely impressed with this fresh and edgy, new age hipster clothing company known as, Sober Is Sexy. Sadly, there are many of people out there, including myself, who have known people to succumb under the spell of substance abuse. The good news is there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. To provide those with moral support and several resources to clean up their lives can prove to save lives. Which is why I have much respect for Sober Is Sexy clothing and accessories. There are several ways you can make a statement ranging from loudly stated apparel for both men and women to tote bags and jewelry and 5% of each purchase goes towards a substance abuse organization. So go ahead and be sexy, help save a life and get your shop on.

Alluring Antiquities

There's nothing this girl loves more than to accessorize my favorite outfits with rustic jewelry. Sure, anyone can go to the local swap meet in hopes of finding that rare vintage jewel to add to your latest collection, but why not go straight to the pot of gold? This is exactly how I felt when I came upon my latest discovery and new favorite jeweler, Erica Weiner. This grassroots gal started out creating her own jewelry in her apartment back in 2005 and since has been collecting amazing treasures throughout her travels to use them in creating a line of jewelry that surely emphasizes exquisite craftsmanship and now her line is being sold in shops all over the world! Her line has a wide variety of jewelry pieces for just about every occasion ranging from necklaces to engagement rings. Check out some of my favorite pieces below.

New Kids On the Block

There are many reasons as to why I simply adore where I have grown my own life roots in good old Long Beach, CA. Aside from the sunny days at the Pike to enjoying my Jameson and tonic water at the local Hip-Ster bars on 4th Street, what I appreciate and love most is the diverse and creative counter culture  uprising in the underground. There are many days, if not most, where I still feel young at heart despite the fact that years seem to pass by like months as of late as I recollect the sweet and irreplaceable memories of the more youthful days. Recently, As I was driving in my car, I happened to be driving behind a car that had an unfamiliar bumper sticker which reads "livevil". I was a bit curious but went on with my day forgetting I'd ever seen it. Two days later as I was on the road to the dance studio, I saw that same sticker again on another car! I was then, even more intrigued. Naturally, I turned to Google to inquire about this new "hype" and I liked what I found. So today I wanted to provide you with a peek inside the uprising of the newest kids on the block, who have come together to make their mark starting with their clothing line that speaks for itself, LIVEVIL. Still curious? Visit their online STORE to see what all the hype is going to be. You just might thank me later :)
