From the legendary Southern Civil Rights Movement, author Danny Lyon also chronicled his travels as a member of the Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club. In The Bikeriders, Lyon's shows us his journey around the midwest as a road warrior in the 60's and 70's. This set of photos has been and will remain some of my favorites of all time.
I never get tired of these photographs. Makes me really want a motorcycle of my own again... I think I'd definitely want this one if I did invest (Deus Ex Machina)... I need to put my motorcycle license to good use next summer!
James Dean, Elvis Presley, Marlon Brando, Steve McQueen.... satisfied?!? I thought so!

"There’s not a rule book, there’s not a manual, there’s something inside saying this right when I sketch this or put these two fabrics together that feels right for me. So real cool sh*t is when people aren’t looking at you. You know when no one is looking and when the cameras are off, what are you made of when you’re by yourself. That’s kinda like the essence of cool for me."Would you be doing this, wearing this, listening to this, drinking this, eating this, tweeting this, or blogging this if people weren’t watching? Are you the Influencer or being Influenced? Food for thought...

Each season, I take the time to re-evaluate what makeup I'm incorporating into my every day look. This season, I really want to pull back from unnatural tones and focus on illuminating my fair skin and highlighting my features. Taking inspiration from the makeup used in the fall collections by Rodarte, Thakoon, Alexander Wang and Chloe, I have narrowed my Fall makeup bag down to a handful of incredible products that enhance instead of hide the skin beneath it.

The overall weekend was rainy and typical of a Portland Fall and I loved it. Seems like my second home! Are any of you from Portland or do you ever visit? What are your favorite things to do while there?

Aren't they a dream!?
On Saturday, we had a flower party with all of my sister's friends. Each of us made 4 bouquets with tons of flowers. They turned out so lovely!
Saturday evening came the rehearsal and lots of stomached butterflies.
and Sunday....my beautiful sister became a beautiful bride. I've never seen her look as happy as when she said 'I Do'. Tres romantic
Isn't it just magical?!
Can't help but be wild about Indian Summers right now....the last heat of summer - when the sunsets are wild with color and the evenings are a tad chilled. I think I'll be wearing long dresses, face paint and feathers in my hair the next few weeks to celebrate. Below are some Indian Summer inspiration looks I'm loving:
