I got bored and it's 80 degrees ...

... so it makes sense that I played dress up in my fall/winter clothes right?

It started out by me trying on some of my vintage things to decide whether I should keep them or part with them via etsy. Then it morphed into a "I think I'll put on a wool coat and rhinestone covered sunglasses and do a photoshoot in the spare bedroom.

A little peek into my wardrobe; I'm wearing some of my favorite clothes, which I'm a little frustrated I can't wear because it's summer. And hot. And uncomfortable. Can't wait for fall!

Me embarrassing myself with silly pictures:


My Lady Gaga outfit. When in Japan I discovered the art of putting rhinestones on everything! These stunnershades were the result. Six sheets of rhinestones for cell phones! Thrifted white shirt. Belt I got from one of my friend's moms. Shiny black leggings from Express. Shoes: Dolce Vita.






You can't really tell from this photo, but this wool coat is amazing! It's reversible (the other side is light gray with black plaid stripes) and super warm and belted so it pretty much feels like you're wearing a cozy bathrobe.


I've never actually worn this outfit before! It's a good mix of things though, I think. The shirt I got on sale at Macy's (vaguely embarrassing to admit?), the scarf is thrifted, the jeans are Z Co. and have 2% spandex so they are super comfortable and they were pretty cheap (under $50) and they're GRAY--one of my fave colors. Okay and I'm also wearing a J. Crew tuxedo vest which I bought when I used to work there. We called it the slutty vest but it was really only slutty in comparison to the rest of their pieces which were super matronly [also only slutty when you wear it with no shirt underneath]. And my fave part of the outfit: white patent leather Casadei boots. I bought these I think three years ago off Bluefly. They were $300 fucking dollars and I had no business buying them, but I don't regret it! They're super comfortable for having stiletto heels and I think they're hot.




I bought this dress at BCBG in February when they were having a 70% off sale. I was going to wear it to Valentine's day dinner with the guy I was dating at the time, but I ended up wearing a different outfit instead because our dinner reservations were for 4:30pm. Okay, I'm a little disappointed I didn't get to wear it. Click here to read my blog from Valentine's Day.


Well that's all for now. If I were to post outfit pictures of what I wear on a day to day basis you would see me wearing possibly no pants/maybe boxers, wife beaters and hoodies if it's colder. I don't know why I love fashion so much but hate getting dressed!

happy valentine's day!

Dolls are officially creepy. While doing a routine search for Hello Kitty merchandise, I came across this eBay seller who makes doll clothes.

Today is vday so the bf and I are going on a date. We have reservations for the early bird special aka "my bf was too lazy to make reservations before a few days ago and had to settle for a 4:30 reservation." I don't think I care a lot except that I bought two bcbgmaxazria dresses with vday in mind and I can't wear them because they're too fancy to wear at 4:30. The dresses were 70 percent off but they were still $100 each. Mehh I won't complain (: I'm happy.

I got my bf this book called The Officialy Filthy Rich Handbook for vday along with a nintendo ds.

I wonder what my parents are doing for Valentine's Day. Probably eating Taco del Mar.

birthday, michael & mac

Today's Friday the 13th! Yesterday was my birthday. Being 23 isn't as depressing as I'd anticipated though it's not a particularly pleasant thought either. Michael took me out to a bar in Centralia which was fun actually. Bday presents included: money from grandma, hair cut from parents, and hello kitty mac makeup from bf! Which reminds me ...


30 designers make outfits for hello kitty

God that dress is amazing.

I'm sitting in my boyfriend's grandma's house and everyone else is asleep. But I'm too excited because I was checking my google analytics for my etsy page and i had 73 unique visitors from 22 different countries!

I've been trying to learn more about online advertising which sounds super boring but has been really fun. I have ads up at:
swap-bot.com
biro-art.com
and sketchiest of all
friendster-layouts.me

Any website ending in "me" is sketchy at best.

Anyway. Tomorrow I get to chill with bf's grandma while bf is at work and Saturday is Valentine's Day and I get to go on a date! I haven't been on a date in a long time and I have some new ridiculous dolce vita shoes to wear that I suspect he does not like:



Oh yeah ... and I talked to one of my homies who makes shirts and he liked my card designs and wants to maybe work something out to get my designs on some shirts.
