12/21/12 Naked Cats and Rolling Stones

Man do I love thrift stores! Went on a hunt for awesome holiday gifts for my friends at the Salvation Army. You never know what kind of bomb things you'll find at second hand stores, like this amazing shirt! I feel so kick ass in it. Paired with my ripped acid washed jeans, a black leather jacket, and my amazing new wedges that my boyfriend got me for the holidays. :) Thank you so much! Thrift stores are the perfect way to find some pretty cool gifts while on a budget. <3

 Customer Board:

There was a lot of blood, from the chicken wire turned barbed wire, sweat, from running around trying to find all the stuff I needed, and no sleep for two entire days... Let's just say I started to not be able to function. But trust me, it was so worth it. I love this baby. <3 I hope to make it into an actual line one day. Whelp! Another thing for the portfolio!~

And now.... WINTER BREAK!

Now that all of this shenanigans is up. I have a lot of posts to catch up on! ;)

11/14/12 Typical Grunge Day

 Another typical grunge day. Chilling in my comfy cozy green plaid hoodie, Doc Martins, brown tights, shredded shorts, H&M striped long sleeve, Ray-Bans, skeleton fish necklace, Citizen watch, and quilted & leather trimmed backpack/purse. My hair is done up in a messy bun cause well, my hair be crazy sometimes. It has been cold for Southern Californians the past week so I've been close friends with my plaid hoodie. Heck who doesn't love a good grungy day once in a while? <3

Oh! P.S. these pictures were taken with my new Camera! It is a Canon Rebel T3i! :o~ *drools* I love my new baby. Still need to name it.

Hey guys!

Got my outfit all spread out.

Hey guys~ Haven't had an Outfit Of The Day (OOTD) post for awhile so here ya go! Went on an outing with my friends so here was my night attire. Oooohh! ;3 Got on my new crop top with built in bra and lace lining, a pleated volleyball skirt from a thrift store, my pleather jacket from Target, a Citizens watch, ring from Mexico, dead fish charm from Buffalo Exchange, DIY coral necklace, Ray-Ban Wayfarers, cute black lace panties from Target, Roxy board shorts to keep people form seeing my panties ;3, quilted backpack/purse from PLNDER, my friend's beanie, and well the top picture I'm wearing my friend's ski mask for his Halloween costume; he is going to be a Spy from Team Fortress 2. Speaking of Halloween, CANNOT WAIT! <3 I ordered a Dino suite but I think I got scammed sooooo pretty upset about that but still excited to dress up just pretty bummed that I cannot be a dinosaur if my costume never comes... :c

Here is part of his Spy costume:

10/16/12 Fabric Sample Sketches

For my Fashion Illustration class we have to draw different fabric samples. Meh, they came out pretty good. I just really hate the third one over passionately hehe. In fact I changed it up a little bit before I turned it in. Gotta work on my woven drawings. Started from the top left: Lace, Large Knit, Woven, Sequins, Fur, Small Woven, Printed Woven, and a Ribbed Knit. I'll start updating you guys with my fashion illustrations and my sewing class. I just finished a cute messenger bag that I'll post pictures off. My next project is a pair of black and white stripped pants. <3

10/11/12 Blue Eyebrows

Hmm cannot sleep. Lets make my eyebrows blue! Late nights + makeup + Photoshop = Fun and funky makeup photo shoot. ;) For some reason, at one point I seriously contemplated dying my eyebrows either blue or green. But then I realized that I was stupid and that you can totally make your eyebrows different colors with makeup! I just used an eye pencil and some shadow on my to achieve this blue. For Halloween I need to make them green to match my dinosaur costume! hehe~ <3

10/5/10 Nerding Out! Artoo Swimsuit

I found out about this Artoo swimsuit from Black Milk around last year but I was devastated to discover that the print wasn't running anymore. But it is back! Not only is it back but they have an entire Collection devoted to STAR WARS! What can I say, I'm a sucker for nerdy fashion. ;) Even though we are moving away from the heat of summer, I still want this fantastic one piece before they stop running it again! Black Milk has some of the best prints that are to die for; especially their galaxy prints, which I'm sure if you have wandered through my blog know I dig space shit. <3

8/9/12 DIY Nebula/Galaxy Shirt

To make this...

You will need:

Optional: Sponge or paper towel and thin paint brush.

1. Lay the trash bag within the shirt so the bleach or paint does not seep through to the back.

2. Pour bleach into the spray bottle diluted with water.

 3. Spray from a distance with the bleach bottle and twist the shirt to create spiral galaxies.

 4. Let bleach dry. (You can wash the shirt of the bleach after it drys).

5. Prep acrylic or fabric paint.

 6. With the tooth brush, wet with desired paint color and flick bristles to get paint splatters on shirt.

7. Paint star patterns over shirt. In the right picture I made a mistake so I made it into a star haha.

 8. Damp sponge or paper towel with paint and water and dab over shirt for effect.

 9. Let dry.

10. Wash by hand and hang dry.

For this shirt, I added a little embroidery of my name on some fabric and sewed it on the bottom. <3

 Happy 19th Birthday Keith!

Enjoy your shirt. ^-^
