drippin' with alchemy

umm.. say back to school outfit maybe? lol, i don't know about what i'm wearing for the first day... it's gotta be comfortable. check it out on lookbook.nu

[1] shot of everything laid out

glasses from UO, blazer from MY MOM, dress from TARGET, and bow from MY MOM

[2] close up of sequins

i LOVE this dress, even though it's quite itchy, haha. it's really like chic, but not over the top with the strings of sequins. MAN I LOVE TARGET <3

[3] close up of fleur de lys

the blazer is navy and has gold buttons, as well as this amazing stitched fleur de lys on the lapel pocket. i love the versatility of this jacket, as i can wear it casually with dark denim and a simple tee shirt, or with a cute dress like the gold sequined one.

spree

just went shopping! i got a wonderfully versatile jacket and a supercute cuff.

[1] cotton motorcycle jacket $34.95 H&M

i had a giftcard :) hehe, it would be SO much better if it was leather, but i still love it! can't wait for outfits with this, they'll be coming.

[2,3] resin/plastic black bow cuff $2.90 H&M

i love how cute this is, and it might be in for a lot of use in the future!

i didn't just crawl out of a dark alley

alexander wang is BRILL. the materials and the way he draped these pieces are amazing and beautiful. i love the monochrome colors and great textures, like the silk, zippers, leather, fur, and especially the sheer ripped tights (i tried doing this.. and i went through 1 HOLEY pair, the other one was good, but i lost it, boo) GRUNGY GRUNGY GRUNGY =love

moments

my recent inspirations + style = fun.

my new favorite ring, light shining through the door of my closet onto my tutu, my feet on the car window in santa ana, shadow of sunlight through the trees on the car seat

i love taking random pictures :}

at the moment.

my first inspiration board! (click for a larger image) i love making these kitties playing guitars google images, gemstones from michael's, siri tollerod in the crinoline, a lomo from lomography.com, black dress, jumping girl

the.rings.

the black/gold piece was originally a...a... actually i don't know what it is. it has a hook type thing on the back. and the porcelain looking heart is actually a plastic earring piece that has long lost its other part. i just hot glued them onto flat faced rings and they're pretty cool as rings! i love the irregular-ness of the black and gold one, while the heart is cute and demure. try this with old (backless) buttons or random brooches, more to come!

fringe.kids.

NEW DIY!!!

love this, i had a whole bunch of stretchy fabric tied up as my dance hairbands, which, ughhh, didn't really work, lol.

soooo i just tied them all together onto a piece of string (i was originally going to put it on a chain, but i didn't have the chance to buy some) and cut up the ends for a cool fringe-y effect.

ENJOY!

PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU ARE GOING TO POST THIS DIY ON YOUR BLOG, THANKS.
