Bad Ass Women! Hell Ya!!!

While scrolling down my Facebook feed today, I cam across an article from Elephant magazine, which I love and read pretty much everyday.  The title was "This is for Women who don't give a F*CK"~

Well, ofcourse I HAD to read it. The 1st 3 things on the list resonated with me:



*The women who are first to get naked, howl at the moon and jump into the sea.
*The women who drink too much whisky, stay up too late and have sex like they mean it.
*The women who know they aren’t sluts because they enjoy sex, but human beings with a healthy    sexual appetite

So, I read on....

*The women who will ask you for what they need in bed.
*This is for the women who seek relentless joy; the ones who know how to laugh with their whole souls.
*The women who speak to strangers because they have no fear in their hearts.

What??? Do they know me???

A few more down.... hmmm, yes, no... OH, HELL YA!

 



*This is for the women who rock combat boots with frilly skirts.

The list was beautiful and although maybe not everything on it were things I do or can agree with, for the most part, I consider myself a "true wild woman", a "woman who runs with wolves" (these are literary references, so those of you who get it, HUZZAH!)

To see if anything on the list applies to you, read it here: http://www.elephantjournal.com/2014/08/this-is-for-the-women-who-dont-give-a-fck-adult/

 

Then, I went back to Facebook and this, THIS was the next thing I see:

Modern Vintage Style: Book Review

Yet another "coffee table book" that i couldn't stop looking at.  Emily Chambers, an interior stylist and owner of London's hip home boutique, Caravan has compiled a lively and colorful array of pictures and ideas for design and hone decor using vintage and thrifted pieces.  Being one of those girls who has pieced my own house together using hand me downs, thrift store and yard sale finds, and a little bit of this and a little bit of that, i loved every page of this book.  I'm super inspired after an afternoon of looking at it a few times over, to hit a few thrift stores after work today and treasure hunt for a few new pieces to ad to my own eclectic decor!
I decided to look her up and found the most wonderful website! http://www.emilychalmers.com/book_modern_vintage.html
You can purchase this book as well as her other style and decor books, there is a page with images of her style work and then there is a link to her shop, Caravan.  LOVE! This Hippy/Gypsy/Boho/vintage chic loving girl is her new biggest fan! I have been thinking about a trip to London this year...i'm going to make Caravan my 1st stop!
