Personal Style: Morgan Cullen from RunwayDaily

I asked and you answered! As promised, I'm delivering the goods! A few weeks ago THIS post asked all readers if they'd be interested in reading/seeing more about my own Personal Style and the outcome is below. I apologize for the three voters that have no interest in seeing me, please tune back in on Monday and we'll surely have a runway/celebrity inspired post. As for the other 13 readers that said they 'Surely would' like to see more of my mad dressing skills (I kid, I kid)...your wish is granted below! Yep, Christmas arrived early!

Voting outcome
Ok, so I'm obviously not going to accepting any phone calls from The Sartorialist anytime soon. And just for the record, it's been literally years since I've posted ensemble pictures. So bear with me as I get my bearings because this will definitely be a process that'll take some time. It's really important to me that we celebrate all women's figures and just praise independent style and personal choices for creative expression through clothing. So with that being said, here's my last seven ensembles I've deemed worthy of mention...plus my lil' hairy baby Zola loves to steal the show!

Long brown maxi dress and cropped cream sweater

One of my all time favorite finds, this Forever 21 maxi dress is such a perfect balance between carefree and elegant. I've been able to sport it to the park and also to fancy functions. This was my Thanksgiving Day look and I paired it with brown gladiators and a vintage cream bolero sweater by St. John. The right hand candy is a big gold lucite piece by BCBG.

I'm also wearing Swarovski drop earrings (shop my picks below) from the hubby that have seriously seen their mileage. Those shiny dropped goodies always make me feel beyond feminine and completely dressed up. If you've never purchased anything from Swarovski, let me introduce you to one of my all-time favorite classic/timeless brands.

How to wear black jeans and a black t shirt

I love and will always love my bootcut Hudson jeans. They are the perfect jeans to throw on and race out the door, not feeling slouchy or under-dressed. Their cut is genius and their back pockets do wonders for all booties. I paired them with a plain black T from Target, a vintage leather belt (my fave) and my knee high black boots by Alex Marie at Dillard's. They were such an amazing find because their cut, platform height and supple leather rocks!

I'm also carrying the Kooba Sienna bag, which I adore. Truly, this ensemble doesn't really photograph as well as it really looked. I met up with some friends and they were all hoopin' and hollerin' at how foxy I looked. There is something so sexy, dark and Angelina-lke about black jeans and a black T!

printed scarf and purple long cardigan and high waisted skirt

I'm a firm believer that a printed scarf can jazz up any boring ol' outfit and bring me back to the tropics on a cold Austin day. I actually can't even remember where I got that scarf but I'm thinking H&M. Featherweight T shirt from Target and long purple cardigan is from Nordstrom Rack. That paperbag high waisted skirt is a grand find from Banana Republic and my brown tights and grey boots are also from Target (man, I love that store!)

PS - You love that I didn't even crop out all of our Christmas boxes...keepin' it real on RWD and CasaCullen is how I roll.

picnic table scarfd and nude colored booties and tight skinny jeans and grey sweater

When the weather gets cooler here in Austin I get all excited. Why? I get to bust out all my awesome clothes from our years spent in San Francisco. I'm especially fond of these vintage ankle boots (shop my picks below) that were in impeccable condition and only $10 at one of my favorite Goodwills in the Bay Area.

They key to pulling off this look is making sure to pair your ankle boots with skintight skinnies OR leggings. Don't try to stuff your regular skinnies into ankle boots...it'll look ridiculous! I've paired them with skin tight Cheap Monday jeans in jet black. A purple burnout T from Urban Outfitters with a vintage grey sweater and picnic table scarf rounds out this look.

cloche hate and baggy shorts with tights and quilted flat boots

Cloches are one of my favorite type of hats. I find them ladylike but then also kind of masculine too (if that even makes sense) and I find myself sporting this one from Urban Outfitter all fall/winter long. A neutral colored cap is a great way to disguise a bad hair day too.

I'm sporting an oversized T from the Miley/Max Collection from Walmart and again, there's that vintage leather belt. My shorts are also big, baggy and comfy and are American Eagle, my tights are Target and the the quilted Jessica Simpson brown boots are from Dillard's. I seriously score some great kicks at Dillard's awesome end-of-season shoe sales!

how to wear a cut off jeant vest and black converse and bootcut jeans

I love a jean vest. It's totally boho-chic and reminds me of Sienna Miller or Nicole Richie. Mine is a vintage find and I've had it for years. I've paired it with a 3/4 length dressier T from Nordstrom Rack and some bootleg jeans that rock my world by Buffalo David Bitton. Also, you'll see my chucks get a good run because I don't know what I'd do without my three pairs of Converse. Nothing too fancy here, just racing out of the house to get some last minute Christmas shopping done (note the huge grin!)

how to wear a plaid shirt and black riding boots and yellow crochet knitted cap

Last, but not least, plaid shirts are my obsession and I only own a few. This one was a Portland, OR Goodwill find and I've rocked it for years. It's old school Liz Claiborne. I love pairing a plaid shirt with a plaid scarf for an unexpected print-on-print look. The black and white scarf was from a cheapie tourist trap of a store down near Pier 39 in San Francisco. Rocking my long purple cardigan from Nordstrom Rack again and my skin tight skinnies by Cheap Monday.

My Mom actually bought me my black suede and leather riding boots years ago and I'm serious when I say, they are one of my favorite items in my entire wardrobe. Classic, timeless and something I'll never let go of. I'm also wearing my black Lacoste readers and a bright yellow knit beret from Urban Outfitters (check out more below!) I think a bright colored knit beret/beanie is the perfect topper for any winter look! PS - Slightly un-tucked button down shirts do not lead to great midsection pictures, just fyi!

Movie Mode: Zooey Deschanel's Ladylike Appeal in 500 Day of Summer

Spy the Look:

500 days of summer - the movie

(Click to Enlarge)

We recently saw the movie 500 Days of Summer and absolutely loved it. Zooey Deschanel's wardrobe was memorably superb. All the ladylike full skirts and sweater sets, paired with sweet camis and loafers. Not to mention, we actually told RWD Hubby how much we also adored Joseph Gordon-Levitt's look and he actually wore a sweater vest/tie combo the very next day - cha ching!

We've hand picked some great pieces below for you to breeze through to get the same Deschanel-esque look. Also, if you haven't seen this movie yet, it comes highly recommended with the RWD stamp of approval!

Music: Late Show with David Letterman on Dec. 9th - Make Sure to Catch the Band Phosphorescent

Phosphorescent

Red arrow points to the band in the Letterman lineup!

Phosphorescent

Phosphorescent

So rarely do I sabotage all three blogs with the same content but this is a very special occasion. Some of my fave guys from High School are going to be on LETTERMAN on Thursday December 9th with their band Phosphorescent and I just have to spread the word. Christopher Marine (drums) and Scott Stapleton (piano) are two guys I've been friends with since the 4th grade and have always admired their innate creativity and insane love for music. Chris and his band actually played at my 7th grade birthday party so I'd like to think that I actually booked one of his first shows, hahaha! I've also featured him HERE on my fashion blog as a Male Byter and it's still one of my favorite posts to date!

These fellas have been touring all over the world the last few years and all their hard work is about to pay off with an appearance on Letterman on Thursday night. A few months ago they played in Austin (pics below) and myself, hubby and cousin Ashlyn cruised out to see them and hear their tunes. I was so amazed with their sound...we bought the album and have been fans ever since.

Do yourself a favor and take a listen below. Also, make sure to tune in one Thursday night to see them rockin' it on Letterman...seriously, they're amazing! Just check out the last sentence in the iTunes album review below the pics, we totally agree! Woo to the hoo...we're raising our glasses for Phosphorescent!

Download It's Hard to Be Humble (When You're from Alabama)

 

Download Nothing Was Stolen (Love Me Foolishly)

 

Download The Mermaid Parade

 Biography:

Athens, GA, resident Mathew Houck is the sole member of Phosphorescent. Houck's career began in 2000 when he released the Hipolit album under the name Fillup Shack. A tour of England and Spain followed, and while the European press drew comparisons to Bob Dylan and Will Oldham, the London Evening Standard declared him "the most significant American in his field since Kurt Cobain."

Houck's first release as Phosphorescent, entitled A Hundred Times or More, appeared in 2003 on the Warm label. The 2004 EP The Weight of Flight was his last release for the label, as the 2005 full-length Aw Come Aw Wry landed on Misra. Two years later the release of Pride began a relationship with the Dead Oceans imprint. To Willie, Phosphorescent's tribute to Willie Nelson, arrived in early 2009, followed by the all new Here's to Taking it Easy in 2010.

Phosphorescent in austin, texas

My pictures from Phosphorescent's stop in Austin, Texas

If you're into reviews, here's what iTunes had to say:

Matthew Houck may operate out of the too-cool-for-school, New York City indie rock community, but the Alabama-born mastermind behind Phosphorescent has a muse that clearly resides in warmer climates. A breezy, classic rock-tinged collection of heartbreak road ballads nursed into existence on a steady diet of the Eagles and the Band, Here's to Taking It Easy, the first Phosphorescent release to rely on musicians other than Houck, plays like a lost piece of vinyl from the early '70s.

Houck is a generous, earnest songsmith, and his tales of love on the rocks (“Tell Me Baby [Have You Had Enough]”), love lost (“Heaven, Sittin’ Down”), and love of the South (“It's Hard to Be Humble [When You're From Alabama]”) feel lived in and cared for. Even on autopilot (the slight “I Don’t Care If There’s Cursing” and the hippy-drippy “Hej, Me I’m Light”), his effortless, laid-back version of modern alt-country feels like an old friend, and the weepy, sun-drenched reverb that permeates the whole affair feels authentic rather than coerced out of a Pro Tools plug-in. The only downfall is that Here's to Taking It Easy is so easy to take that at only nine songs, it flies by in no time at all.
