I went through something of a second growth spurt a year or two ago, around my 21st birthday. Before, I’d had slightly above average boobs that looked big on my small frame; suddenly, I had huge boobs, a butt and hips and thighs to match, and shimmery silver stretch marks that sprouted out of nowhere….

How to Make Your Hair Awesome
If I may allow myself a moment of immodesty, my hair is pretty fucking awesome. I get complimented on it nearly every time I step outside. A large part of that, I’m sure, is the rainbow colors, but I like to think that an equal amount of it is that I take really good care…
Apocalypse Ladies: the Valkyries
These Polyvore sets/character sketches will (hopefully, unless my creativity runs dry!) be a semi-regular feature from here on out. These are actually for a story idea I have, but the others probably won’t be. It kind of sucks, because I think the story would work much better in graphic novel/comic format (than just being written),…
Apocalypse Ladies: Dressing for the End of the World
(this is a guest post from the lovely Steff at Steff Metal – thanks Steff! Why don’t you stop by & check out her blog?) [humanity is] a silly, ongoing, short-term memory machine that fails to learn from the past. Kris Kulski (artist) What’s going to happen is, very soon, we’re going to run out of…
5 Movies to Watch for Their Aesthetic
Movies are a huge source of inspiration for me, style wise. The first time I saw Moulin Rouge, I was absolutely dumbstruck by the sheer…awesomeness of it all. I watched it three days in a row, like we did as children with Aladdin and Jurassic Park and the Lion King. (Nobody else watched Jurassic Park…
Looking Forward to Fall
A chill is in the air, the leaves are starting to turn – fall is almost here! In most parts of the country, anyways – here it’s still regularly hitting 95 degrees. But it’s been raining a lot more lately, and definitely beginning to cool down (95 is better than 105!) so it’s time to…
Wardrobe Challenge: No Black
We all get stuck in our own little sartorial ruts sometimes, and when I find myself in such a rut, the easiest thing to do is to issue myself a challenge. The challenge usually makes me think outside of my usual box and gets the creativity flowing enough to push me back out of the…
Interview with Marion of Bitching and Junkfood
Bitching and Junkfood is an up and coming online clothing store that focuses on 80′s and 90′s clothing and accessories, with some gorgeous handmade items (check out this brooch, sadly already sold out!) thrown in for good measure. They were recently featured on Kingdom of Style and it’s obvious why! They’re also the first online…
10 More Places + Ways to Find Inspiration
After posting in the personal style series about finding inspiration, I thought I’d make another list of wacky and not-so-wacky ways to find inspiration: Books! Pretty obvious, I’ll give you. Coffee table books – maybe one on a subculture? Orrr vintage fashions? Rock posters? Or of course; there’s always fiction. Alice in Wonderland is a…
Defining Your Personal Style, Part Three: Using Your Inspiration
So! Now that we’ve discussed how to get a rough concept and figuring out what your wardrobe essentials are, we’re going to discuss what is the logical next step (to me, anyways!): using your inspiration. You should have had some time now to build up an inspiration folder or think about movies that inspire you….
