So. I’ve been looking into making my own corsets, decided to just go ahead and do it – as I’m not finding modern bras very helpful to my back and certainly can’t afford to buy several corsets (I’m still planning on buying from Damsel in This Dress, which I meant to do a week or [...]

I got my Karmaloop order today! The purse is SO much cuter in person than in the pictures (which were kind of terrible, I got a little apprehensive after ordering it…). And the t-shirts fit great and are super-soft. mmm. the…scarf…thing on the gray one is a bit odd, but I figure if nothing else [...]

What I wore to bring in the New Year…
The pencil skirt is from Target.com, $14.99 on clearance and about $20 with shipping, it arrived the 30th. Although I was really confused because it came in an Amazon.com box with a Target sticker on the side – I didn’t see the sticker and was like “umm…I [...]
January 2nd, 2009so maybe…
I fibbed a little when I said regular posting would resume after Christmas. For sure after the New Year, though.
I’m touching up my hair right now, and my hands look like I strangled a smurf. As soon as the stain fades it’s inevitably time to touch it up again, sigh.
I saw a post a while [...]

first off, the dress! which is darker in real life but shows up VERY aqua with flash, go figure.
as you can see, it kind of wants to bunch a bit in the back. I think some double sided tape will be in order on the big day.

December 14th, 2008The Joys of Vintage Sewing Machines
When I started this blog, I meant to post a lot more DIY. I had tutorials in mind and everything. Unfortunately, since starting my new job (which, as you may recall, happened around the same time as the beginning of this blog), I really haven’t had a lot of time for DIYing. It makes the [...]
November 29th, 2008what is the reasoning…
behind someone buying a leather jacket, that looks EXACTLY like most of the leather jackets out there, typical moto style, at a thrift store for $20 tops, and then trying to sell it on eBay for $200? Seriously?
I’ve been looking on eBay for moto jackets, since that Wet Seal one I was going to buy [...]
apparently I am way behind the times
Because I just NOW realized that the Soviettes broke up. (well, went on an undefined hiatus and have stated they probably won’t end the hiatus…). IN 2006. WHERE WAS I AT DURING THIS?!
That makes me so sad. They were such a good band. Also, I want ALL of the clothes from this video. Freaking all [...]
October 26th, 2008Time Management: fail
My outfit today is definitely my laziest and most casual yet.
(running late so you’ll just have to make do with the head-cut-offed-ness as I don’t have time to take another)
Shirt: thrifted and stencilled by me (hard to see in this picture, but it has a picture of Mal and says “I aim to misbehave”.
Skirt: was [...]
