Black and white  photos are gaining more and more of my attention...soo love em'. There's something about the balance of the shades, the distinct look, and the instant romanticism of the shot that gets me.

Here are some that I found most inspiring....

1) Traffic from Spokane, by me.  2) An outfit post that never reached posting...against boyf's Ford truck. 3) Wilderness.  4) Jason Christopher photography.  5) The Golden Gate Bridge. 6) Steve Colman photography

belted at the waist

Sometimes, just one belt isn't enough. This look isn't exactly achieving any slimming effects, but it was fun to work for a photoshoot.

Wearing: Hanes boy tanks, cut up with scissors. One of my handmade scarves. Green olive skirt with eyelets. Belts belts belts belts.

By the WAY - Call me totally lame, but just uncovered JuicyStar07's YouTube cult-following. Crazy, right? I mean, I'm honestly somewhat annoyed by her voice, yet I can't stop watching them. Weird phenomonon...But I'll admit, she DID teach me how to French-Braid with her "How To: Messy Knot" vid.

Thaaaanks JuicyStar. :)

This is kind of weird - I think I'm having a psychic moment.  Just had a Twitter-fest for my love of fall military colors, (khaki and olive, especially), and the BAM! Express to the rescue!

Express is seriously showing us the most ahhmazing new haul of the month. Never before have I eva' seen a collection quite like this: sequin minis, the most perfect shawl-collared cardigans, and FLARE jeggings! Seriously?  I thought I had nearly seen it all...but never this, a fabulous pair of high-waisted perfect flare jeggings....incredible.

Check out alllll the good stuff and new arrivals from Express right here.

My Express-inspired Polyvore - I'm SO into black, gold, and deep navy for night.

Is it at all wrong to be obsessed with two such incredible musicians?....I think not.

Twittering is constant in the the world of fashion; who doesn't pull out the Blackberry and update the world about what's coming down the runway?  Thank God they do...I always like a good Tweet-read session  Twitter is like something shiny for a kid that's easily distracted....love it.  I am that chronically distracted kid.
