feathers, fringe and fuschia.
i am so psyched about these pants i can't even tell you. when i was doing my almost daily hang out with my friends at aa the other day, my friend j told me that they had the disco pant in purple, but it had been discontinued and was only in selected stores... i freaked. as you all know i am obsessed with this pant, and having them in purple... wow! i had j order them for me asap. so i get an e-mail from him today, telling me my pants are in. i was there within 1 minute, to take a look at the lovelies. they are kind of a mix between purple and fuschia. gorgeous. i seriously can't stop staring at them. and btw thank you j for letting me cry on your shoulder. you, i love.
i diy'd this jacket the other day when i was double c'ing every item in my wardrobe. i studded it after painting it and quite like it. last nite i was up creating all nite long. and in this creation were these shoulder pads that i fringed. i got these show stopper brooches from new york design shop and have been dying living to use them. they are pinned on top of the shoulder pad itself. the tee was also inspired by nyds. they just rock so much!
speaking of nyds how are your diy tee's coming along? are you taking part in the 'rock your tee' giveaway? the contest ends in a few days, so i hope you are almost ready!! if you are please start e-mailing the images to me here.
have a great day beautiful ones.

diy dress.
simple post today--i told you i would show you the diy i did last week with the mens 2xl tee, and here it is. nothing fancy--in fact, i don't think i will ever wear it. the main reason i made it is because i had this navajo inspired trim that i wanted to use up. i also wanted to say that i am ultra sorry that i haven't gotten a chance to get to your blogs, things have been a bit hectic around these parts and i'm hoping i can get to you tomorrow. i always miss reading your blogs so much. i hope you are all well, and just know that i am thinking of you. love.

baby blues and red shoes.
my bff is in town this weekend and we are having a blast as we always do when she is in town. she has a hysterical blog that you should all read for a good laugh. check it! tonite we cleaned and organized my apartment (i know what you are thinking... cleaning? fun? with her everything is fun.) with neon wigs and blue lipstick on. i should have gotten pics. we are going roller skating, old skool style at venice beach on monday and have our outfits planned already. short, shorts and knee highs or thigh high's. holla!!
i am so enthralled by the reaction i get with this wig, especially being in hollywood. if you take a look at any japanese street style magazines or blogs almost all of them have bright colored hair, and yet here in the middle of hollywood people stop and stare. it's quite funny. i'm a bit addicted to shooting with the wigs and hair spray colors because i am growing my bangs out and need my hair done desperately. and who doesn't like to change it up, right?!! i am so glad you all seemed to like the diy video. i do hope my personality came through, because that is important to me. i will do more in the future. let me know what your plans are this weekend, i would love to know. mwah!

d.i.y. t-shirt (video)
hello to all of the beautiful people! try not to be shocked at the hour of my posting. i usually post anywhere from 1-3 am but had technical difficulties.
so i decided to shoot a quick (12 minute) video on a t-shirt diy yesterday as some of you had asked for it. so i set the camera up and shot it all in one take! yes i am so proud. well husband comes home and has to make it fancy. i knew this would happen. this is one of the many things he does for a living, so he tends to be a bit of a perfectionist. so what became a quick post became the 8 hour long process. the funny thing is, i only let him do the intro and a few quick cuts where i was rambling too much. he would have gone completely haywire if i let him. so anyway here it is in all its glory. thanks to my husband for making it somewhat watchable. let me know if you peeps would like me to do more of these in the future. i was planning on doing more videos but just not of this nature. love.

wiggin' out.
my hair is blue, and yes it is a wig. i wanted to get this color when i got my black one but held off until i couldn't take it any longer, which was today. so now i have my favorite color in a wig. sweet! wig is a weird word.
so i wanted to show you a couple of quick diy's i did. the tee, was a large mens t-shirt that i made into a tank, and since i haven't had a chance to paint lately, i have been having the urge to paint my clothing. since the double c logo tee is now out of style i thought it was time for me to jump on it. i not only did this shirt but about 4 items of clothing, i was very close to painting my walls chanel style. i am an all or nothing type of girl. i've been wanting to put some conchos on some item of clothing and decided on these jeggings. i love the red suede lace, of course. so that's a little glimpse. hope you are all enjoying your week so far. loving you all just as much as always, maybe even a little more.

stripper boots and starbucks.
excuse the boring post today. i was ultra successful in the diy arena, but not so much with my personal style. this is my typical sit around the house outfit. shorts, tank top and aa thigh-high's are so comfy and warm. minus the stripper boots, of course. those i put on to add a little oomph on the walk to starbucks (=;. because i was so busy creating today i didn't have a chance to catch up on my blogs, but will try to get caught up on those tomorrow. i miss seeing all your outfits, and reading your posts. hope you are enjoying your week so far. love. and thank you so much for all your love. mwah!

doll'd up.
happy monday everyone, hope you enjoyed your weekend! so i've been thinking a lot about what some of my accessories for summer will be. i feel like accessories are important in the summer months, to make up for the lack of clothing. i decided that duct tape is going to be my new play thing, a la margiela. so i spent a lot of time shredding this tee the other day, and you can't even see the detail. the good thing is i am back to creating, which makes me ultra excited. today i made some duct tape rings and laced conchos down the side of some jeggings. i will shoot them at some point this week. also these snakeskin bebe wedges are definitely some of my favorite shoes for summer, and they are red--surprise! thank you for your sweet comments, i am going to try smiling more in my pics--i know i look much better when i smile. and more than anything it shows my spirit a lot more than my serious looks. have a great day peeps. oh, and i put a formspring questionnaire box in my sidebar. ask me anything you like (i think?). yes. do. love.
