You're Not Invited

I have never done anything to deserve them, but I have the best friends ever. The sweater is a gift from my girl, Nadine, and she sent it along with some original photos, notes to keep me going and make me smile and two issues of Suicide Squad featuring my favorite, Harley Quinn. Nadine is a babe of all babes and I would be absolutely LOST without her.

And this song has the name Millie in it and it's just awesome.

Runs Deep

I've been going back to my teen days lately, when it comes to music, anyway. Been listening to all the bands I used to listen to when I was 16. From First To Last, Hawthorne Heights, Taking Back Sunday, Aiden, Senses Fail, Further Seems Forever, Dashboard Confessional, you know, when Emo was what the hipsters listened to before they became hipsters xD

Oh, and this is my Armory jacket. I'm trying to cover it in band patches from bands who play at my venue, The Armory. It's gonna look sick if I can pull it off ;)

And yeah, I know my tights have a horrible run in them...I wore them once before my nail went through the ankle and turned into a run all the way up to my thigh...ugh I'm so pissed about it. I've had these for a while but haven't wanted to wear them because they are practically ruined....xP

Anyway, Happy Easter, Rebels,

The Desert Calls My Name

Dress: Cotton On | Top: Wet Seal | Boots: Dr. Martens | Necklace: Forever 21 | Headpiece: Handmade

This is my contest entry for Forever 21's Festival Foto Contest. I would love to win a trip to L.A. just because I love all things SoCal and the one short trip I made to the west coast wasn't enough to satisfy me but it was just enough to make me fall in love. BUT even if I don't win, I love any excuse to dress up and take photos nowadays. :) I don't know if there will be a voting period or not but if there is, I'll be sure to let you know so you can help me out ;) haha until then, why not enter your own awesome self?

I had so many possible festival outfits... it was almost impossible to decide on ONE, but I did and I am happy with it. I love this dress and I had fun making my head piece. I've been wanting to make one of those for a long long time haha

It's Been Swell, But The Swelling's Gone Down

Top: DIY Tank Girl Tee | Shorts: DIY H&M | Leggings: Rue 21 | Boots: Dr. Martens | Coat: Thrifted

Tank Girl is my dream girl. What, straight girls can't have dream girls? I have two. Tank Girl and Allison Mosshart. I also have strong, thick, healthy thighs. Deal with it. It means I could kick your butt with them, got it memorized? ;)

Major Headache, Sir

T-Shirt: Official Merch | Leggings: Pac Sun | Boots: Dr. Martens | Beanie: ZulamimiLand

This is probably the reason people are surprised when I tell them I'm going to be 22 in less than 30 days.  They usually ask something like, "You're like what, 18, right?"

Next time I'm just going to say yes.

"Yes sir, Major Headache, sir!"

Tear Smeared and Brittle

Sweater: Thrifted | Jeans: Alloy | Boots: Dr. Martens

Yes, I am newly single. Yes, it was my decision. No, it wasn't what I wanted. Yes, it was unexpected but it was also necessary. Yes, it is a very tough time in my life right now. No, I am in no way interested in anything with anyone else at this time. All I can say is it is out of my hands now and I have to take one day at a time.

It's All Just Stupid Anyway

Top: Cozmic KillJoy | Pants: Thrifted | Hoodie: Pac Sun | Boots: Dr. Martens

I'll be making more of the shirt I'm wearing in the near future. I've been wearing this hoodie non stop since I bought it two weeks ago. It's so warm and soft. I can rarely afford Pac Sun sweatshirts but when I can, I always prefer them. My boots are dark blue velvet and I love them so much it's borderline insanity.

I've been dealing with some personal issues which is my main excuse for the lack of "DAILY" outfit posts lately. No one actually follows me or participates or supports this anyway so I guess it doesn't really matter. I don't have the time to invest in advertising or networking for this thing, so it's going to have to grow slowly on it's own. That's fine. I'm not looking to be the next rookie or anything, anyway.

Watch Out For Me, Baby, I'm Hell on Heels

They're crappy quality, ipod photos, but it still captured Dakoda and I in our pretty much natural state. Punks at heart, always. I made his jacket for Christmas last year and the vest I made myself too. I bought him his very own pair of two toned plaid bondage pants, straight from London, for his birthday. I've never seen him so happy and genuinely appreciative of anything before [in terms of gifts haha]. He's never owned his own pair before, he always wore his older brother's stuff for the longest time. I've wanted to get these for him for years but I was never able to until now, so it was a glorious day ;) [his birthday isn't until March 13th but who doesn't love early presents??]

Punk love never dies.

Know Who I Am

Shirt: Cozmic KillJoy | Shorts: DIY | Boots: Dr. Martens

The pants/shorts are still a work in progress. I have more patches and paint to add to the back. The outfit is quite simple but looks a bit more complicated, and that's what I like. The last photo is me showing off my big strange nose, loudly and proudly. A year ago, I would never be able to even look at such a photo of myself without either bursting into tears or wanting to break it or cut it completely off. A lot happens in a year. I am certainly not the woman I was then. I mean, I still have a long way to go before I am who I really want to be, but I am definitely happy with the direction I'm going and improvements I have made so far.

Anywhore... you can get the shirt I'm wearing at only ONE place.

On a slightly different note, I ordered my swimsuit for this summer already. #1 because I'm tired of falling in love with a suit and waiting until the weather actually gets warmer to find out that it's out of stock in my size. And #2 because I need something pretty to motivate my workout routine to get this body ready to rock it in May, when I head down to the Outer Banks again.

Back Down, Kid

Top: Forever21 | Shorts: H&M pants/DIY shorts | Jacket: Forever21/DIY | Earrings & Suspenders: Claire's | Boots: Dr. Martens

My boyfriend walked off a job site today because his mom's fiance [who is his boss] was talking all kinds of crap about me and after he was told to stop, he kept going. So instead of beating his face in like he said he wanted to, my boyfriend walked off, threw his gloves in the trash and kept walking. This dude doesn't know squat about me yet for some reason felt the need to agitate Dakoda about me being a b*th and a "blow mouth" whatever that is... Not sure where he got the information to make such judgements, but since he doesn't mean much at all to me, his opinions are invalid so they don't hurt me. But this outfit, I realise, is sort of my way of expressing my attitude towards the whole matter....so take what you want from it. I really don't give a d*mn.
