JUST SOME MEN, MOSTLY






thrifted most everything except shorts from pixie market, jewelry from flea markets and boutiques and yadda yadda

These were taken inside my place, as we are under a FREEZE WARNING. Kill me now. For those of you that live on the sunny warm coast, can you even imagine what this would be like? Well try, then tack on -30 more degrees, snow, insane wind, and everything covered in ice. Add all of that up and you have the most awful 3-5 months of hell. Screw that, right? Yeah, that's what I'm doing. Leaving. For January. Peace out midwest. I can't deal with this BS you put us through every single miserable year. I feel like an old person, leaving for Arizona in the Winter. Only I think I might be heading to Mexico after I spend some time in my second home, California. 

Anyway, enough complaining. Though sometimes it feels good to complain. Well, obviously, or we wouldn't do it. But occasionally it feels good to be in a bad mood, agree? I don't quite understand it but man, angry moods can be so fun.  

Anyone else find Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad to be strangely (very) attractive? Something about him, jeesh. Not at all my type but holy moly. Here is my type, though. Ignore that weird man in the corner. I assume that was his voice-over.

Evil villain and hot anime dude, Kadaj.

Or Aaron Johnson from Kickass. But he married his 40+ year old director and is having old-hag babies with her. Aaron sucks.

Leto from Children of Dune. Geek? Me?

Duh.

Duh #2.

James Hot Franco. Master of all trades. School nerd = hot.


I'm feeling less into trendy men, or men in hipster bands (I'm old, over it.)...but Andrew from MGMT is still mmm mmm good.

And Lil Wayne. My Weezy. Forever I will love him and his Rudy Huxtable goofy face.

So I guess this post had absolutely nothing to do with fashion and everything to do with a few of my top looking dudes? Sorry for wasting your time, folks. For my apologies, I leave you with a song.

DAMNED

BLAIR WITCHY








dress c/o away we vintage , thrifted flannel, my salvation antler necklace, melrose trading jewelry, skull necklace made by me

It really erks me when people are concerned with my eating habits. I eat more than almost any female my age that I know of, and guess what? I then work out. A normal amount. Just because every other 26 year old American woman is overweight does not mean I am anorexic. Just to clear that up. Have you seen my gross buff muscles? Ha. But seriously, this whole old-lady-crippled-foot thing is really harshin' my physical mellow. I can't run, I definitely can't jump, and I can only wear some of my shoes. Ahhhh. Injuries are TERRIBLE when you are into fitness. Especially when you eat like an obese middle aged male. Send good vibes to my feet, will you?

Outfit deets. I wear long dresses about as often as I wear pants, but I fell in love with this dress. I love the zipper down the front, the corset-tied detail on the sides, the slit down the middle, and the print. I of course had to spice up the muted fabric with some neon. And how pissed do I look in these photos? Man, no wonder people always think I am upset or hate them. Look at that face! 

As Jean Greige had posted, Margaret is back!! Freaking finally. No more internet vacations, okay?

PS. Just started a lookbook and so far, so lame. Mine, that is. And seriously? People on there messaging me to ask me to promote their blog/lookbook on my blog? Get out of here.

A pump-up song to leave you with.

MUDFLAP SKIRT







 cut up thrifted skirt and top, luckyvintage purse, sam edelman shoes, thrifted belt, my salvation ladder necklace, aa crossback bra

I did a fast and terrible job when cutting this skirt. After trying it on, I decided I kind of liked the raw edges where I cut. Until I went outside and had the wind pounding against me, I hadn't thought of this outfit being anything less than a weird pile up of Sahara desert witch doctor in space...but then I realized I just look like a dweeb from The Matrix, or some sort of anime weirdo who idolizes JP from Grandmas Boy. Probably due to the combination of the already-there slit in the back of the skirt, and the black sunglasses that actually belong to Cody. Pictured below is what he was wearing while shooting these photos. A pink shirt with homemade 3D nipples on it. Typical.


Since I have not let this purse off of my shoulder in about, oh, 2 weeks, it's safe to assume I am obsessed with it. I just can't get enough of those little flingy leather pieces. And don't get used to this straight hair business. I hate my hair straight, as it accentuates the the most insane jawline ever found on a female. I just hadn't washed it in a good week or so and instead of being a good hair stylist, I slapped on color with my hands, rinsed out the tips without shampooing, and quickly blow dried it the easiest way possible. So there you have it. Dried crusty hair color on this dirty head.

Since I am infatuated with Etsy, I thought I would share with you a few things from my always expanding "favorites" page on there. Feel free to purchase any of these and send them to me for my upcoming birthday. Or get yourself an early Christmas present and I'll be happy for you.


Those are only a few of very many favorites. Hope you enjoy!

BABES IN NEBRASKA PT. 3






Here we have my hottie-tottie gal Alyssa. On top of being a rad "geek" of sorts, this lil' lady not only wears awesome clothing, but makes awesome clothing as well. After getting these Black Milk leggings, she has decided to make her own fly leggings in a similar fashion. (we have a fabric store here called Cosmic Cow where she has purchased the craziest prints - and how cool is that store name?) I can't wait to wear some. 

Oh, and I gave her that hair that she so effortlessly rocks.

TSHIRTS N' SEQUINS






yumena melody skull necklace, lanaredman dagger necklace, vintage cut up shirt, thrifted shorts, unknown bandeau, namibian bracelets

I don't typically wear sequins. In fact, I think the only other sequined item I own would be a pair of shorts which hardly ever make it out of my insanely packed dresser. But, for this raggedy old top I gave in. 

I found a blog that I cannot believe I have never come across before and I think I am in love. ET IN ARCADIA EGO, though if you're following my twitter, you already know. Holy cow I could stare at this girl and her amazing clothing all day. I've always said I was annoyed that I wasn't born Asian, and this girl cements that statement in stone. 

I leave you with two tunes. The first is my favorite Beach Boys track (I know, I know). The next is Can. Long song, great drums, raw voice. Everything progresses into more energy as the song goes on. Nothing better than a crackly, I-just-woke-up, smoker voice. Sexual.

CASEY CRIPPLE






stash necklace c/o peeko.ca, old leopard leggings, vintage snake boots from cafarellajen, lavenderlemon bell sleeve sweater, luckyvintage purse

This weekend has been quite the bruiser. Decided to get in the spirit and tailgate. Ended up at some giant outdoor show with a band that covered 90s music, so naturally I was having a blast. Wearing bellbottoms and boots that were too big, we hopped a fence after the band finished and I didn't quite land right. I've been on crutches since then. So lame! Today has been much better, as I am able to put on shoes. These snake skin boots, in fact. They are actually padded inside, and quite comfortable. Of course, I was hobbling around in them, and am now back on a couch being lazy and healing more. As time goes on, the more bazaar my outfits are becoming. Leopard leggings that I had stuffed in the back of one of my drawers, snake boots, and an oversized bell sleeved sweater seemed to be the best choice for today. A little from a few different eras. This oversized bell sleeved top from Lavenderlemon is so comfortable and the perfect knit for what I have been looking for.  I thought it would be cooler out, but this month has been surprisingly hot...so I was kind of roasting in this getup today. Oh, I'm pretty hyped on my pouch necklace from Peeko. Perfect for my painkiller stash. 

Time to dose up and chillax with some friends while drowning in 70s music. Peace.
