REDRUM

 
What do you get when you combine awkwardly short, tig bitties and a ghost? Insanely pale fire-headed Casey who's wearin' all red despite the faux pas. 



We've all picked up on the bindi trend here. Only instead of bindis we wear googly eyes. 



A Christmas song to leave you with.

DEADSTOCK'N

tie dye top and knit cardi-vest c/o american deadstock, thrifted jean jacket, f21 skirt, jeffrey campbell boots, amethyst necklace c/o serqettes box, low luv triangle necklace, unearthen pendulum ring

This is what I wore out last night + beanie. One of my newer sponsors American Deadstock sent me a package of goodies which included this top and vest. I know I have raved about them before but I would like to again give them a 2 thumbs up for awesomeness and being outrageously affordable. This particular tie dye top that came with a matching skirt (not the previous tie dye one I wore) costs $26. The loose knit vest costs only $19.50. I know they got a great response from the last post where I wore their skirt, so you really should check out their new items. Here are a few of my favorites: (Click on the photo to go directly to the item in the store.)


Enjoy! I've got a work party tonight and wouldn't be upset if I ended up with my white elephant gift..

PS. Any of you in Texas/New Mexico/Arizona? I'll be hanging out around your parts in January. Thank god. Desert withdrawals to the max. 

PPS. Isn't Chrissa beautiful? I snapped this photo last night before we got crazy. I tell ya, I have so many hot ladies in my life it's a little bit ridiculous.

THRIFTY NIFTY

thrifted top and skirt, jeffrey campbell ankle boots, amethyst necklace c/o serqettes box, solder and punch spike cuff, my salvation dangly bracelet

Are you as sick of these indoor photos as I am? I just want to GO OUTSIDE. UGH. WINTER LIFE. On a happier note, I am so incredibly hyped on my latest thrift store finds. Or maybe I am hyped on the quantity of findings. I came home with a huge garbage bag full of clothes for under 35 dollars. Seriously, whaaat? My arm is literally in throbbing pain today from the huge mountain of skirts and jackets I had resting on it while browsing the thrift store. So. Many. Things. For so freaking cheap. Photographed in this post is a cheesy Nebraska tee that I roughed up a little, as well as this skirt. Both were 99 cents. On top of the multitude of clothing finds, my brother had sent me a text with a photo of this vintage table that he had at his thrift store:


Don't mind the neon paper, or the smudgy marks that I will have to clean off. How amazing is this? It came with 2 matching end tables. 30 bucks for all of it. I am SO psyched on it. 

Since I am on a thrifting/vintage binge, I thought it would be appropriate to introduce you to a boutique I recently happened upon. Feathers Boutique not only has amazing clothing, but they pair everything together so incredibly well, making it almost impossible to just buy one piece. I want it all. Proof:


There you have it. New awesome store. New to me, at least.

A.D.D. WALL

handmade cut out leggings from emilia caracol, southwest bomber jacket c/o cross office, my salvation arrow necklace, thrifted mens flannel, jeffrey campbell boots, uo beanie

So, it's Winter. This beanie is fused to my head for the next couple of months. Sorry about the redundancy of its appearance in my posts. I was at my parents house eating dinner and (obviously) watching Breaking Bad with my maja and faja, when I decided maybe I could take a few photos in my old room/basement. Have fun looking at all that old crap all over the neon wall. It's jam packed full of memories throughout the years and I hope it never gets painted over. The entire basement is actually covered with painted pictures, sharpie drawings, and spray paint tags. On one wall I painted an entire beach scene when I was a teenager, which has since been covered over with hot pink paint and I believe now has a unicorn with a 5'oclock shadow wearing a business suit drawn on it with a black sharpie. Artistic family, I must say. 

I got these boots during the Solestruck Black Friday weekend sale. Hellz yes. The snow has already ruined them, so that's cool. Winter is so great. So nice and convenient and comfortable. Anyway, I have spent this weekend barely sleeping due to insane polish partying involving chair breaking and a polka band and shots of Jezynowka, so I am going to take a much needed nap before I pass out on the keyboard. 

Go look at my tumblr and based on my taste, if you can, recommend  other accounts to follow! I'd love suggestions.

PINK CRUELLA


Again with the downward stare. Can't stop won't stop.

This top I got on sale for 9 dollars. Bra from American Apparel. Beanie from Urban Outfitters. And, the reason for the post, new hair. Kind of. Put some color onto half of it. Makes for an interesting twist on Cruella DeVille in the modern day of colorful dip dyes and ombres. Thought I'd do something similar, but my own way. Less horizontal and more vertical. More smudge than dip. Half-smudge-dye is what I will call it. It's a bit more magenta-pink than what it looks like in these photos. Partial Cruella hair. Next new thing, you just wait. 
I now have a tumblr, people. Full of clothes and chicks with style that I love. And, of course, wishful daydream landscapes of deserts. Duh. 

Song para tu. Tu with a tilde.
