“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.” – Plato
My husband and I love collecting records. This hobby began years ago when we rediscovered our parents’ turntables, and now one of our favourite pastimes is searching for records and of course listening to them. When we go record shopping, we tend to venture out to Detroit and surrounding areas. Here are some of our favourite record stores:
- Found Sound. This is the location of this shoot. I think they have the best selection of new and used records, and the staff is always friendly. 234 W Nine Mile Rd, Ferndale, MI
- Stormy Records. 13306 Michigan Ave, Dearborn, MI.
- UHF. 512 S Washington Ave, Royal Oak, MI.
- Hello Records. 1459 Bagley Ave, Detroit, MI.
- Peoples Records. 1464 Gratiot Ave, Detroit, MI.
When I first saw these pants, I said to myself, “what the heck?” and decided to try them on. I have been liking the leather legging look lately, but was unsure how comfortable I would be in them. On the hanger, these particular leggings reminded me of a garbage bag, but when I put them on I thought they looked really flattering. Best of all, they are very comfortable. The top I’m wearing reminds me of beatnik poets for some reason, or even Velma from Scooby Doo. No matter, I think it’s soft flowly texture pairs well with the faux leather leggings. I’m also using my new Mansur Gavriel clutch, which I just love. So far it has been durable, and it fits a lot (including my continental wallet), which I think is important feature in a clutch.
