Urban Cowgirl

"Hasn't everybody at some point or another had the fantasy of being a cowboy? A cowgirl?"

- Derek Lam

I'm so drawn to anything that looks really old and historical. Whether it's ancient art, weathered architecture, or vintage jewelry, I instantly fall in love. This old fire house is so charming! I can just picture a mini-red fire engine pulling out of it playing little hero to a small town. This is about as western as it gets in a Yankee town, as some would call it.

This is a small effort at modernizing a western look. No cowboy hat here.... The daisy print dress and leather are enough for me.

I got these awesome JC shoes at the annual LF Fifth Avenue sale and it took me a while to convince myself to buy them. Why? Because I'm also not really a cowboy boot kinda girl. The heel seemed low and I don't wear a lot of brown. However, there is something really wearable about these.. They are like a bootie and a cowboy boot combined.. I love them! I think it might be the square toe... I hate pointy toe shoes! Blah, you hear that Prada Fall? Despite your sweet little bows, I will not be lusting after you.

Are you a round toe or pointy toe shoe lover?

I've been searching for a top like this for a long time. I finally found it at, where else, LF Fifth Avenue! It is really light and flowy....perfect for hot summer days. I like to toughen it up a bit with ripped and studded denim shorts.

This was at Coogee Beach in Sydney. So far Sydney ranks higher than Melbourne in my book, but I haven't really been here long enough to really say.

Sassi Sam took all of these photos! I'm so glad I was able to find someone to take great photos while I'm here.. plus we have so much fun swapping blog stories and woes.

It's almost 5am and I'm still awake which is a total bummer!
