bolo ties, leopard and love.

nandi came over tonite for another sleep over. we decided to do a photo shoot as i want a lot of pics to gaze at endlessly when she moves. i don't have time to edit them tonite, but gave you a sneak preview of what is to come monday. isn't she a beauty? that is her natural hair color... so amazing.

also wanted to give a shout out to nickie frye and her kick ass etsy shop, for this amazing bolo tie, and also the lovely and talented wendy b, for featuring bolo ties and reminding me of their beauty (she also has these amazing swear rings and an awesome wolf-fang necklace in her shop that you must go buy, NOW!--i am ready and willing for gifts as well). hope you are all enjoying your weekend. love.

note: also i have been getting a lot of questions asking about my height--i am 5'5--the magic of photography i tell you. also feel free to ask questions on my formspring at the side bar.

does anyone have the zara platform tassel clogs in a 7 and want to trade for my jeffrey campbell 'charlie' clogs??

just a taste, of what's to come...

velvet jacket: aunt jo's vintage, tee: aa diy, disco pants: aa, boots: sam edelman, bolo tie: nickie frye etsy, chain ear wrap: apparellel.

boucle and denim.

it's been a long time since i have worn this jacket and thought it time to pull it back out of the closet. this is my grandmothers vintage chanel jacket, one of the many things i treasure of hers. it really needs to be altered to fit me better, but i'm afraid of someone screwing it up. i love all the small details, including the striped lining and chain at the base. okay i'm off to take advantage of starbucks free coffee day.

grunge-a-rama.

grunge central in t-town today. i spiced it up with a little sparkle action on the legs. this is a common outfit for me, my shclepp around look i would say. i put up some la roux "in for the kill", makes me want to shake my booty every time i hear it. have a listen if you haven't already. i'm still high off the fumes from the hair spray. whoa! and can't wait to bleach the shit out of my hair. soon. does anyone know of a kick ass colorist in the los angeles area? someone that knows how to do platinum right? if so let me know. i also decided that if i were to ever sponsor anything it would be mexican coke. i love it, as you can see.

enjoy your weekend everyone. loving you, as always.

thanks easter bunny! bok bok!

happy easter everyone!! i have to admit that i am not a holiday person. i think that happens a lot when you come from divorced families where, for the holidays, you have to be torn in two--and have a drama filled day. maybe not, but that was surely my situation. but, i am trying to be a bit happier during the holidays at least. i told my husband that i was going to wear these ears all weekend long and he didn't believe me, until i did. and i am telling you... just like the wig, everyone thinks i am in a play, or crazy or something. i made these cute little lace ears, copied from some designer that i don't feel like looking up right now. jean michel basquiat? no he died. anyway i think it has michel in the name somewhere. note: looked it up, it is maison michel (designer of all chanel hats and head pieces). sorry peeps, when i tell you i don't keep up with fashion i am not kidding. anyway, i thought the perfect time to sport them would be now. this is my--in mourning of the holidays with a touch of *trying, look. i am also wearing some spat type situations on my legs. i made these out of some old leather pants, and i wear them to add a little oomph to a boring outfit. i also saw them on lovemaegans blog, in a little different style. i also made this tee last nite in two seconds, and screwed up a chambray shirt, that i was trying to make into a work of art with lace insets. it is now a work of art that will sit on my form forever, not to be worn... it is completely fucked up.

thank you for sharing your easter stories with me. i love reading about what you are all doing. as for me... i will not be dyeing eggs, but i will be tie dyeing some tights. my puppy and i will be spending easter together, as the husband has to work, "what else is new" *she says with her usual passive aggressive tendencies*. "yes honey, it's fine... go work, i have TONS (not!) to do here". haha.

sending love to all of you, and this is your last chance to get your t-shirt diy pics to me. giveaway officially ends manana. e-mail me here.

raspberry beret.

okay so it's more like strawberry, and it's not even a beret. i just had to say it. hope you are all enjoying your weekend. i started working on some diy's today, as i have a list of about 50 that i want to do. i'm quite proud of myself, as i seem to be lacking motivation in most areas of my life. so yay for baby steps! i bought this jacket at the goodwill for cheap and it is the softest, most buttery suede i have ever felt. and of course the red... i am so predictable. oh, and i made it to 100 followers! thank you once again for basically just being the amazing beauties that you are. remember to come back monday/tomorrow for the giveaway! love.
