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.

Everybody's Doing It So Why Should I?

IT'S ABOUT TIME.

This is the outfit I wore yesterday to get my fresh ink. I've been dreaming of these lightning bolts for several years now and I am so unbelievably in love with them it's ridiculous. Billy the Kid at Kyatic completely perfected these simple little things and I would absolutely recommend both him and Kyatic if you are ever in the southern PA/northern MD area.

I also am wearing the top that I made years ago and you can get YOUR hands on it here:

These things are almost TOO easy to cover up, but get used to them because they are now a permanent part of me and I am oh so proud of them <3

It Is Finished

Today is Holy Saturday. When Jesus was in Hell paying the price for our sins and kicking some serious Lucifer A.$.$. The Bible doesn't talk much about it, but I like to picture Lucifer's face when he goes from thinking he finally won, to the realization that Jesus has won all along. For us. Man, I can't wait to get to heaven. The first thing I do is going to be to run up to Jesus, sit at his feet next to a big lion friend, and say, "Jesus, tell me about that time you were in Hell kicking butt for me and the rest of your kids."

But that's me ;)

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

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.

Winged Supernova

Top: Nasty Gal | Shorts: Forever21 | Necklace: Nasty Gal | Shoes: Rue 21 | Hat: Target

This hat was cool for about two minutes until I realized it was a pain in the butt floppy hat with absolutely no form or logic to it. So I'll be getting a new one very soon. This one is like 3 years old anyway...

Anyway this top makes me feel like a bat. Or a dark angel. Either way, it's easily one of my favorite tops.

I'm so ready for spring and summer though. Sun dresses, tank tops and sunnies. Yes please!

What is/was your favorite piece of clothing you own for the winter?

Make You Fall

Jacket: Target | Top: Thrifted | Pants: Rue 21 | Tank: Rue 21 | Boots: Vintage | Necklace: Handmade Gift

I am well aware it has been like 3 weeks since I've posted a look. I can honestly say I have had absolutely no time whatsoever to capture photos, resize them and post on here, lookbook and chictopia. I'm actually planning to spend one of my two days off [finally] entirely on putting on the outfits I've worn this past week or so and taking photos and just posting them once a day for awhile. We'll see if it actually happens or not haha

Anyway, I've been hooked on Marina and the Diamonds [who isn't] and I'm looking forward to snagging the upcoming BRMC album. Oh, and I spent a total of $40 on a hoodie, jeans, two tanks, a top and leggings Thursday. I'm fairly certain that grants me Bargain Huntress Level 100 status....not to brag or anything ;)

So what's up with you these days?

Lack Thereof

 

Sweater: Cotton On | Leggings: Pac Sun | Shoes: Rue 21 | Hat: Forever 21 | Necklace: Handmade Gift

I am counting down the days until I can ride my bike, jump in the creek, drive with my t-tops off and run around outback barefoot.

I Know Me Better

Top: Mango | Pants: Rue 21 | Shoes: Alloy | Necklace: Handmade Gift

This is what I wore Sunday but never got a chance to capture it on camera. [Boyfriends are so distracting.]

I need to read more. And write more.
