to have a grunge soul and a heart back in the seventies doesn't mean that i'm not drawn into the universe of indie music that expanded a decade ago. but when it comes to discovering new music, i'm definitely not a person who devotedly follows every review that comes up on pitchfork (i think i actually have visited that site only once in my life). i stick to old-school methods like listening to favorite radio stations or gathering recommendations from my friends. it's funny that neither brought me to wild belle. i stumbled upon a picture of these two and judging by the looks (ok, call me shallow if you will) thought this might sound cool. it turned out i was right, because siblings natalie and elliot have a lot to offer besides their pretty faces and edgy style. hope to catch them at one of the festivals in the near future.

back in the day when my idea of ideal interior decoration meant nirvana posters on my bedroom walls,
my beauty/fashion essentials were a pair of washed-out levi's 501 and my then red hair. i miss those days because i don't love my twenty pairs of jeans that i own today as much as i loved my 501s. the most important thing that i realized back then was that all the clothes in the world can never replace a couple of timeless pieces. that combined with the mantra that less is always more is the key to an effortless style. and that's why i find it so frustrating and sad watching armies of clones walking around with their ombre highlights wearing peplum cuts and statement necklaces when all they need is a white shirt and the right attitude.
