over the shoulder tangerine holder.

hey guys. i am so slacking right now. i think my body is trying to fight off some sort of sickness as i can't get out of bed... i am soooo tired. so i thought i would post an outfit i had in the 'just in case' folder. every time i look at these pics i kind of have a laugh and think of 'over the shoulder boulder holders' but in my case it would be 'over the shoulder tangerine holder' (otsth). i made this harness a long time ago and always forget about it. i should have a diy (not on the otsth) sometime this week if i can get out of bed.

so needless to say i am slacking on visiting my daily blogs too. okay enough pity partying in this biotch. gonna go back to sleep. love.

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.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

todays outfit is kind of dull, so i thought i would make up for it with the excessive exclamation points in the title. thanks everyone for watching that video, i'm glad you were able to get a laugh. sometime i will tell you the story behind my husband and i. it's amazing how we finally got together after 21 years of knowing each other. i'm doing an unusually early outfit post today because i have tons to do tonite. i am my most creative self at nite and am usually up until about 5-7am so my day is just beginning. i have done some diy's for new york design shop and need to work on those. you should see my apartment, it is diy central in here--i have about 10 projects going on at once. my poor husband. the coffee table is filled with jewelry bits, the kitchen with sewing projects and paintings, and one half of our front room is a studio. bless him for putting up with my insanity. which reminds me... it's date nite, yay!

todays outfit is a simple peasant blouse AND i finally got around to taking a bunch of my levi's in so i can wear them now. thank god. needless to say, you will be seeing a lot of denim. oh, and i made that chain ear wrap/cuff and the chain ring (which will soon have a diy how-to). hope you are all enjoying your week. love.

confessions of a sock stealer.

i decided to do something a little different today. i am too busy creating and didn't have time to do an outfit post. i'm going to post a video that my husband made featuring moi. it is called 'confessions of a sock stealer' and it is hilarious. basically it is about where your socks go--you know how you inevitably have at least a couple pairs of lone socks with no pair. well, take a look at this, it tells all. this character (my husband) was based on a costume i made him for halloween and grew from there.

i also wanted to post a pic of when my husband and i were hanging out in high school (little did i know then, that i would marry him 21 years later), i thought you might find it pretty damn hysterical... i know i do. and i posted some pics of us now. just for fun. love.

song of the day: depeche mode 'wrong'. enjoy.

exciting news. new york design shop's home page features yours truly. i am so excited to do more diy collaborations with them. the denim vest i'm wearing i diy'd with their iron on studded pave. super easy--all you need is an iron and they have tons of great colors. i didn't know how they would possibly stay put, but they are on that vest for good. if you haven't checked nyds out, you really must. they got a bunch of new diy materials in today and my shopping list has expanded about 3 times what it was before.

also i just discovered that ramblings of one crazeE mama featured me on her blog today too. i really am blessed to be surrounded by so many amazing and positive people, it may sound corny--but it's true.

i hope you are all enjoying your week so far.
