The process of moving meant all of my belongings were boxed up and are now slowly being un-boxed at my new temporary home. Since I'm such an expert packer and box labeler (sarcasm) I'm finding clothes normally regulated to the back of my closet and having a nearly impossible time finding clothes that are more my default pieces. I spent a few hours turning boxes upside down to find a pair of shoes only to eventually find them in a box marked Christmas. As I said, I did a good job labeling things. Still, it's good in a way when it inspires me to pull out this Carven skirt which probably hasn't been worn in two years and these fun flats. I got the flats in college while in Europe on adventures with one of my good friends and still hang on to them because of the fond memories, but I don't wear them often because they're such a pain to lace. It'll be interesting to see what other treasures I uncover as I get through all the boxes.<br /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/montpelier-25_zpsfed2c03b.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/montpelier-20_zps94dea330.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/montpelier-34_zps4047d62d.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/montpelier-28_zpsfd465f99.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/montpelier-23_zpsa566fb9c.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/montpelier-33_zps90b866fd.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/montpelier-29_zps57a50609.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/montpelier-22_zps4582d010.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/montpelier-32_zpsdd571db6.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/montpelier-16_zpsf2f225e7.jpg" /><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: right;">Outfit details:</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://rstyle.me/n/qg4qihu7e" target="_blank">F21 top</a></div><div style="text-align: right;">Carven skirt (old)</div><div style="text-align: right;">Zara flats (old, <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/n5x4whu7e" target="_blank">similar</a>)</div><div style="text-align: right;">Modcloth purse (old, <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/qg4wwhu7e" target="_blank">similar</a>)<br /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/15904/the-clothes-horse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Bloglovin</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://twitter.com/aclotheshorse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Twitter</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/aclotheshorse?v=wall" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Facebook</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://theclotheshorse.tumblr.com/" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Tumblr</a></div><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 26px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 5275px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 26px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 5275px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a></div>

It's not a big change, but since I occasionally get questions on my makeup I thought an updated post on my routine was in order. For me the focus is always my eyes (I can't remember the last time I went without winged eyeliner) so everything else is designed to work around that.<br /><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a></div>

She's a Rebel

I wasn't even a rebellious teenager. I got into a fights with my mother quite a bit but my acting out was minimal and I've always been afraid of authority figures. Even with some of the traditional trappings of rebels like my tattoos and pink hair I don't think I'm very convincing playing the part. But sartorially you're allowed to temporarily adopt these characters. You can put on a leather jacket, heavily apply the eyeliner and pretend to hang out under the bleachers with your gang, threaten to jump someone after school, etc. All my rebellious notions might come from episodes of <i>Freak and Geeks</i> and my anthem might be the retro super-poppy <i>He's A Rebel</i> sung by The Crystals...<br /><div></div><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/pinky-20_zps22a4cdde.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/pinky-16_zps4e2146c0.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/pinky-21_zpsd1681f78.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/ugh-3_zpsb999fc37.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/ugh-5_zpse96c8daa.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/ugh-2_zps13fb9d68.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/ugh-4_zps366d3f85.jpg" /><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: right;">Outfit details:<br /><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/76040957/handcuff-and-heart-key-gold-necklace?ref=shop_home_active_1&ga_search_query=handcuff" target="_blank">Laonato necklace</a></div><div style="text-align: right;">varsity jacket (old, <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/qa6g6hu7e" target="_blank">similar</a>)</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=761928&b=417942&m=43745&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Emodcloth%2Ecom%2Fshop%2Fdresses%2Fstun%2Dof%2Da%2Dkind%2Ddress" target="_blank">dress c/o Modcloth</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=761928&b=393018&m=41271&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Echoies%2Ecom%2Fproduct%2Fcute%2Dcat%2Dsuspender%2Dtights%2Dwith%2Dtail%2Dback%5Fp23552?cid=%20****michelle" target="_blank">Choies tights</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=761928&b=417942&m=43745&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Emodcloth%2Ecom%2Fshop%2Fshoes%2Dflats%2Fwho%2Dcould%2Dbe%2Dsaddle%2Dshoes" target="_blank">saddle shoes</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/havelovewilltravel" target="_blank">vintage purse via Have Love Will Travel</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><br /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/15904/the-clothes-horse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Bloglovin</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://twitter.com/aclotheshorse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Twitter</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/aclotheshorse?v=wall" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Facebook</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://theclotheshorse.tumblr.com/" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Tumblr</a></div><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/mrs1_zps93b8c0ec.jpg" /><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><a href="http://rstyle.me/n/qcvwwhu7e" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">*Kate Spade earrings</span></a><br />After a rather tiring week between re-location pains, visa stresses, and sorting out more wedding details it's rather nice to focus on some general wedding fluff. It's funny how you can't find the perfect wedding shoes but suddenly find yourself desiring all these other little bridal-related products that you absolutely do not need. It's also weird to think I will be a "Mrs" a some point in the future. Labels are weird and I hardly think of myself as a "Miss" now--I'm just Rebecca. But anyway, I kind of want <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/qcvwwhu7e" target="_blank">those silly earrings</a>.<br /><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a></div><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/wed1_zps2356dd1a.jpg" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/187737882/wedding-shoe-decal-wedding-shoe-sticker?ref=br_feed_45&br_feed_tlp=weddings" target="_blank">wedding shoe decals</a></span></div><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/wed2_zps9a911fe2.jpg" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-5617630-10968135?url=http%3A%2F%2Fshopruche.com%2Fhappily-ever-after-spoon-set.html%3Futm_source%3DCJ%26utm_content%3Dproductfeed%26utm_campaign%3DCJ_Products&cjsku=BR32061" target="_blank">happily ever after spoon set</a></span></div><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/wed5_zps033898a4.jpg" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/188476881/wedding-decoration-wild-flower-bunting?ref=sr_gallery_5&ga_search_query=wedding+pennant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">wildflower bunting</span></a></div><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/bride2_zps73e7b9ba.jpg" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/105201360/promotion-single-line-wire-name-hanger?ref=br_feed_2&br_feed_tlp=weddings" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">personalized bridal hanger</span></a></div></div>

Style Crush: Harley Viera Newton

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/v1_zpsea526b9f.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/viera1_zpsd6f3a01d.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/hv17_zps83c91346.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/v2_zps39ff23dd.png" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/viera2_zpsac1e8167.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/hv1_zps0c6c0581.jpg" /><br />Harley Viera-Newton epitomizes to me the quirky-minimalist aesthetic. A lot of times when people think of minimal they think of very simple color palettes--stoic clothing without any embellishment or color. But for me minimalism means minimal; it means clean lines when you layer and a single statement accessory (also often on the small size, like a book clutch). Harley Viera-Newton definitely seems to prescribe to the same idea. Her outfits are always chic and stream-lined. I also like her signature long hair and red lips that remain consistent no matter the season.<br /><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 26px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 818px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 26px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 818px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a></div>

I actually <a href="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/col3_zpsd73b72fc.jpg" target="_blank">remixed this vintage dress in 2012</a> because I wore it so much that year, but since then it's been residing more in the back of my closet. Definitely a case of wearing something a little too often until you get sick of it; sort of like listening to the same song on repeat or watching the same television show too much which I can also be guilty of. I regularly purge my closet of pieces that aren't getting worn, but I make an exception for vintage pieces or items that I used to wear loads because there usually will come a time when I'm ready to bring it out and wear it again...<br /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/bridge-3_zpse6c7286b.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/bridge-10_zps3fcbe4b8.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/col3_zpsd73b72fc.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z301/theclotheshorse/1u/bridge-14_zpsc56e0057.jpg" /><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: right;">Outfit details:</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://rstyle.me/~21jww" target="_blank">Crew Cuts jacket</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/lesmirettes" target="_blank">Les Mirettes brooch</a></div><div style="text-align: right;">vintage dress</div><div style="text-align: right;">Seychelles booties (old, <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=761928&b=417942&m=43745&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Emodcloth%2Ecom%2Fshop%2Fshoes%2Dheels%2Fdance%2Dinstead%2Dof%2Dwalking%2Dheel%2Din%2Dcream" target="_blank">similar</a>)</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=761928&b=417942&m=43745&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Emodcloth%2Ecom%2Fshop%2Fhandbags%2Fshow%2Dem%2Dwhat%2Dyoure%2Dbraid%2Dof%2Dbag" target="_blank">Modcloth purse</a><br /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/15904/the-clothes-horse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Bloglovin</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://twitter.com/aclotheshorse" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Twitter</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/aclotheshorse?v=wall" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Facebook</a><span style="text-align: center;"> | </span><a href="http://theclotheshorse.tumblr.com/" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Tumblr</a><span style="text-align: center;"></span></div><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><br /><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 26px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 18px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/" style="background-image: url(data:image/png; border: none; cursor: pointer; display: none; height: 20px; left: 26px; line-height: 0; min-height: 20px; min-width: 40px; opacity: 0.85; position: absolute; top: 18px; width: 40px; z-index: 8675309;"></a></div>

One exception is <a href="http://lovefamilyaffairs.com/" target="_blank">Family Affairs</a>. I'm quite sad I wasn't able to make a studio visit this September to see Nina and the pieces in person, but the collection is still a stunner and I can't resist sharing a preview here. For the lookbook Nina collaborated with photographer <a href="http://amber-mahoney.squarespace.com/" target="_blank">Amber Bryne Mahoney</a> who took these amazing polaroids of <a href="http://www.taravioletniami.com/portfolio/" target="_blank">Tara Violet Niami</a>.<br />The collection is inspired by "Ti Amo" or "eating peaches in the hammock, falling in love like a teenager, huge agave plants in Elba, white heat on the autostrada, being the first person at the bakery and grandma's white sheets in the Mediterranean sun..." As always Nina's descriptions are as evocative as her pieces and although it's barely fall it has me looking forward to summer and seeing her delicate prints up close and in person!</div>
