Amy Appy tank, Chained Up vest

Wow. This weekend has flown by. Did a lot of sleeping, a lot of shopping, went to a couple of parties and wound up in the boonies of Mount Wilson observatory getting attacked by insects and freaking out at how high up I was. Apparently I’m NO GOOD on driving up and down mountain roads. I gave dudeguy the blues.

I finally found a maxi dress that didn’t cost an arm and a leg after braving the clusterfuck that is Ross on Memorial Day weekend. I also managed to pick up a James Perse tank dress at the Rack courtesy of a gift card my aunt gave me for Christmas. What I’m most excited about however, is my Mudflap Jill necklace that I should be getting this week thanks to the amazingly fabulous Wendy B! I’m excited. =D

I put the chain vests in the store. Some lovely lady already called dibs on the one I’m wearing in this photo, but there is an antique silver one waiting to find a loving home.

Last night and this morning were productive ones…

If you’re seeing this, you’ve caught wind of my new official URL….I’m still tinkering, so bear with me. =)

I’ve been on Bleach Black all morning.  What the hell is wrong with me and why wasn’t I stalking them sooner?

I’m so behind, I swear.

This week has been most irritating.  I’ll spare you the details, but know that today (the SHITTIEST by far), when I sought relief at lunch time in the form of a Marie Callendar’s chicken pot pie, it fell.  On the counter.

My one shot at happiness was lost before my very eyes.  Best believe I felt just like Sawyer when he dropped Juliet (if you’re not a Lostie, don’t worry about it…)

Let’s see if retail therapy turns my frown upside-down as usual.  I’m planning on purchasing all of these in the near future.  Get a piece.

UPDATE: Before we get to the reasons why my wallet doesn’t love me, I’ll have you all know that the half of a delicious red velvet cupcake that Duckey gave me was the only thing that kept me sane at work today.  I’m sorry I forgot to tell the world.  I am ashamed.  =(

Underground Winklepickers – I blame my mom’s accent for my love of this style of shoe…seen @ The Palace

Misha Market’s Draped Neckline Panel Dress – to feed my love for convertible clothes

Overcast Armwarmers – because my fingers are too fat for gloves my hand size

Amazing how NONE of this stuff looks summery.  Damn.  Why am I so wildly inappropriate?  I was thinking of going in on a floral bustier if I can find a cheap one on ebay, but the fact that it’s a bustier makes it inappropriate from the start.

Hmmmm…

UPDATE: add every color of this tank to the list.  Please and thank you.   Thanks for the heads up Lu!

This gets my vote for best.video.ever.  Oh how I wish I were in Paris.  Thanks for the heads up, chauss!

Make the Girl Dance “Baby, Baby Baby”

*plain white tee

It feels like it’s been forever since my last DIY (I don’t even remember what it was…or if I actually did one…I mean, I thought about doing one…never mind).  Jazzy sent me over this cool lil’ tutorial on making a tornado tee and I merely expanded on the idea.  What resulted was cut-out madness that resembled vertebae.  WIN.

After about half an hour, you should end up with something that looks like this:

(please note that I lost about 2 -3″ from the back of my head;  HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Summer!)

DIY Tee, thrifted jeans, UO shoes, snakelet

Now, I probably own three things with floral print and they all (unsurprisingly)look very similar.  I really don’t like to immerse myself in anyall things flowery.  Too many bad associations with plastic covered couches, dust bunnies, and wallpaper.  However, when I see things like these ending up in my inbox, I consider changing my mind.  Something about an impactful print done in bright and unexpected colors (or on unexpected pieces) has captured my attention.

It must be spring.

Oddly enough, I want the shoes the most out of these three.  I blame Susie Bubble.

And why are they called “pumps?”  The last time I heard pump in reference to a pair of sneakers, Reebok was making those basketball shoes with the basketball shaped pump on the tongue.  Remember those?  LOL

What did that pump do, anyway???

Are  you guys liking anything unexpected these days?  Let me know that I’m not the only one.  Please.  LOL.

You know…with all the tinkering in the lab, yarn shopping, sewing, crocheting, chocolate thumb (best.cookie.ever) eating, and lounging in between, I’ve completely forgotten about outfit posting.  There isn’t anything magical going on as of late, so you aren’t missing anything.  LOL.  To be fair, I’m trying to take better quality photos when I do post outfits as I am sure you all are tired of looking at my closet doors.  I know I am.  So boring.

A couple of days ago, Jaz told me that DonWill thinks that I don’t ever wear jeans and a t-shirt.  This one’s for you, sucka.

thrifted blazer, FOTL tee, Refuge jeans, Office creepers, snakelets ( get them here )

Turquoise is thoroughly rocking my world right now.  Looks good in snake form and I’m hoping it’ll look good in ling form.  I’ve also got my eyes on this little vintage turquoise bodycon number that I saw over at MP.  Sexay!

I’m about this excited…

Little Molly Cake did theeeee sweetest thing and featured lil’ ol’ me on her blog.

I’m blushing.  Seriously.

Molls’ blog is the one that really got me on the “let me start a blog” train and to see my mug under her banner means a lot.

Thanks, girlie!!!
