3 ice cubes please.

Yesterday my mom asked me if I wanted to go to the mall and yeh I kinda wanted to go to Forever21 and get some basics. So I decided to wear my new Paris Blue jean shorts I just found at goodwill the day before. I also just found the scarf and my mom was gonna get it but I snagged it from her!


Thats my $3 Coach bag! I love it I use for it everyday casual outfits!





So Ive been on the hunt for a straw hat for the summer and Ive tried on a few and they just dont look right on me, so Im sticking to my fedora, it looks great always.






I bought so much stuff this week ugh it is going to take me awhile to get it up but dont lose faith! I will get to it! haha thank you all for following me still and for leaving me such lovely comments!

I have my tattoo appointment with Dan Fagan July 6th, to get my panther filled in. I have to start getting things ready for the art show and put out a flyer soon! Ive got TONS of new vintage to add to my Etsy account! Be looking for that! I got my Netflix back and its amazing, I just watched Where the Wild Things Are, great movie. I added a new little owl to my collection :-) and got a new liter mug for parties. Everyone what have you been up too?!?!! haha, I feel like Ive been missing out on so much cool stuff going on. Well today is Friday, everyone have a great one! Have a fun weekend too!!! Xoxo my lovely readers!

The Fashion Spirit

My native American roots were calling to me. My mom again scored and found me this great leather tool purse with a big Indian Chief on it! I was dieing to use it finally so got dressed around the purse. Ive really been into black with brown lately. I never used to wear brown because my hair was so dark but then I started to wear brown shoes, then belts and now purses and I really like having that little touch of it.









These pictures were gladly taken by my mom!


So Im finally catching up on things! I only have to close two more nights, then work 8 hours on Sunday. Ill find out my schedule for next week tomorrow. I know I have Wednesday off because Im going to go with my gal Kaitlin to sit with her while she gets tattooed by Agnelo Nales at Redletter 1. Im so excited its going to be a very fun day with food and beer and tattoos. I always love it when I can go to Redletter 1, that place is very special to me. As crazy as things have been its been all good positive things. Ive been doing my yoga class every Saturday, this will be my 5th week of it! Its almost July, and I just cant wait for more good things to come.

I am planning an art show at my house! Its going to have a bunch of my artist friends and we'll also be celebrating my 22ed birthday! Im getting a PBR keg and its just gonna be good art, good people and good times! I will update you all on that as it comes closer. Cross you fingers I pull this off haha!
XO everyone!!

FLOOR

If you didnt know Floor was top favorite band, you must not read this lol. I was invited to a show they were having in Winter Haven on June 19th. Now thats like an hour away from where I live but totally worth driving out there. I had asked my friend Jarrod if he wanted to come but unfortunately work had gotten in the way. Kaitlin knew a friend that was also going so she said we were going! I was so excited!!!!! Ah yes! It was a great night, I got a shirt too, a real one! not the bootleg one I have haha.

So tiny girls shouldnt be in metal show pits lol, I got stepped on really bad by some 6 foot 2 guy, ugh it was awful. I finally made my way up front and slipped in beer, haha it was all in good fun for the show, which was amazing!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Steve for telling my about it!!






Stay tuned lovely readers! XO!

The Season 2 lunch date!

Hey everyone!!! Ugh Im so sorry its been so long since Ive last posted! And so much has happened, so I got to borrow the laptop and Ive shut myself in my room and Im just going to blog for an hour! haha, I have so much to tell you all! Im going to start with my second lunch date at the Seasons 2 with my grams and my mom, Uncle Doug and Sue, and the handsome birthday man Tony. It was a fabulous lunch affair. Now mind you all, it is 95 degrees here in Tampa, Fl and for some reason I have been dieing to wear pants! I have bought 3 pair of great vintage high waist pants and I decided on wearing my new air force green pants with my lovely floral top, cadet hat and airplane necklace!





The purse, so amazing. My mom found it at good will and its so classically vintage and it needed to be worn with this outfit. Also wearing 6 inch platform heels from Bakers, one of my favorite shoe designers.


Me and my mom!


Grams and I


Mrs Sue, Grams, me and Tony


Mrs Sue, Grams, me, my mom (Lynn) and Uncle Doug! Hes so awesome!


I was so proud of my self for putting this look together, I think it really made me look sophisticated and mature.


Then this is the last picture taken of my hair like that, because after I left lunch, I went and got my hair cut!!!


I cut most all of the right side off!! This is the shortest Ive had my hair and I must say I like it a lot! And its so hot its nice to have some short hair, Ive been braiding my long side lately and its pretty cute I must say!



Lunch was great and I was go glad to have my best friend Kaitlin cut my hair, it was defiantly time! So much has been going on, I have been working so much I just have enough time to do house stuff before I go in and enough time to relax and hang out at Sara's before I go to bed. I feel bad my blogging has had to take a back seat to things but its just been a long week of working every night till close. Ill find a good balance again. I got to borrow the laptop today which I feel so much better using, Im in my room relaxing, away from all the craziness and Im actually getting stuff done haha. I hope everyone else has been doing great! Its a good time to be busy and stay focused. XOXOXOXOX everyone!!

PULP the Party!

So every Wednesday theres this party called PULP. Its at Czar, a club/bar in Ybor (Tampa, FL). Its a lot of fun, a lot of people go and its a hip crowd. PBR is $3, but free till 11. Its fun to dress up too, theres all kinds of wild things that go on. Well I was a bit caught off guard, I usually dress up for PULP but we were already out and about and just decided to go. My neighbor Volkan and I decided to go last minute. It was so much fun and we had a great time. It was nice to see him cut lose and it was nice to just get out of the house.









All in all it was a good night! I cant wait to go again, I love going to Czar on Wednesday and Fridays typically. I miss my partner in crime tho! I wish you were here to go drinking with me, sometimes I never know what to get, but PBR is always choice lol. Xo everyone!

Here we go again!

Hey everyone! Back to reality, I hope everyone had a great weekend, Ive heard some good things! Mine was ok, I just felt to busy and constantly on the go. I worked a lot and attempted to go out. Ended up going on a 2am journey to the beach and Denys, that was fun! So last time I was at Knuckle Down I got a new shop shirt! I got a medium so I ended up cutting the shirt, and it came out nice. Its to big to where its a mini dress!! I love being tiny in cases like this. So now not only do I have a shirt, I have a dress now too, so two Knuckle Down items, well 3 including my koozie!











SO my mom "found" them and my grams bought them, but Im so in love with my new heels. They are so awesome and comfy! As high as they are, I could run a mile in them haha. I love shoes and all mine!


In other news, its going to be a very hectic week of work. I work pretty much every day 6-close, I think the only day I have off is Tuesday. So much for having a social life this week. Thats how it goes sometimes. Im in the mists of getting Saturday off for a very important thing. I swear if I dont get Saturday off Im going to be the saddest person all week. Its pretty much the only thing Im counting on right now, its that important. I really wanted to get some painting done this week and wanted to sneak back over to Clearwater to get some lettering tattooed, but I dont think I'll have any time. The good thing is that this week will fly by hopefully! Then theres only a week and a half of June left! Then its July! then August! Its officially been 4 weeks today since Josh left and it feels like its been forever but at the same time, time has been going by quickly, he really will be back before I know it :-D! So I hope everyone has a great week! Stay lovely ladies!! Xo!

A tornado and the Tin Man's heart

I dedicate this post to Krystal Ralph, her mom Kathleen Ralph, and to Kimo, may you rest peacefully and watch over the ones who love you.

Yesterday I went to Knuckle Down Tattoos in Clearwater, FL to get tattooed by my amazing friend Krystal! It was such a great day all around. Theres two parts to this post tho, Ill get to the other half. First tho! My new tatties! Haha, it was Krystal's bad ass idea to add a tornado to my ruby slippers and I have to say, great idea, because I have the cutest little tornado now!!! She even put in the house Dorthy was falling in!







Then I wanted to also get the Tin Man's heart. All he wanted to do was love and feel love, and I love hearts so it means a lot to me. Im in a very happy place in life and so ready for hearts to be flying!


Me and Krystal! <3 href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/Sweet%20Tatties/?action=view&current=IMG_1959.jpg" target="_blank">

Now to the other half of this post. Recently Krystal's brother Kimo passed away, and its been a rough while for her. I was so happy to finally get to see her. While I was getting tattooed her mom came in! What an honor it was to meet Mrs. Ralph and what an amazing lady. She ended up getting tattooed, she got a spoonbill because it reminds her and Krystal of Kimo, they always see them. It was so special. Mrs. Ralph had some of his ashes put into the ink, and Ive heard of that, but never saw anyone do it before, I was very honored to be apart of that.






Mrs. Ralph was a trouper, she started to cry before she got tattooed, but she did such a good job sitting for her ink.






After she was done, Mrs. Ralph then tattooed Krystal, she got a dot on her hand, for Kimo, by her mom.


I really cant tell you all enough how much of an amazing experience this was. Tattooing is something that I hold very close to my heart and it does help people get through things. I hope that Krystal and her mom can smile every time they see their tattoos. I was so thankful to be there.

I love you all and to Krystal and you mom, thank you. Xo! HAPPY FRIDAY TOO!!!

Whoa! I want some more!

Hey everyone! I wanted to take a minute and just share how much Im in love with this song. Im not a huge fan of most new music and I dont listen to the radio but I caught this song over the TV and since Ive checked it out I love love love it! Im talking about Neon Trees song Animal.

I ended up downloading the whole CD and its actually really good. I can be a sucker for catchy tunes, but I was really pleased with the whole album. Neon Trees album Habits is defiantly one to check out!


"Animal" <3


Here we go again
I kinda wanna be more than friends
So take it easy on me
I'm afraid you're never satisified.
Here we go again
We're sick like animals
We play pretend
You're just a canible
And I'm afraid I wont get out alive
No I won't sleep tonight.

CHORUS:
Oh, oh
I want some more
Oh, oh
What are you waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight.
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are we waitin' for?
What are we waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight.

Here we are again
I feel the chemicals kickin' in
It's gettin heavier
And I wanna run and hide
I wanna run and hide.
I do it every time
You're killin' me now
And I won't be denied by you
The animal inside of you.

CHORUS
Oh, oh
I want some more
Oh, oh
What are you waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight.
Oh oh
I want some more
Oh oh
What are we waitin' for?
What are we waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight.

Oh, oh
I want some more
Oh, oh
What are you waitin' for?
Say goodbye to my heart tonight.
Oh oh

Men who have captured my heart.

I have just been chilling at home and not really inspired by anything in my closet at the moment. It happens! So I wanted to share with you all a post of the men who are right now stealing my heart. Today I watched the season finally of U.S. of Tara, and Glee. Both two shows I love to watch. I have to say, the men of the shows have taken me by surprise, and I think they are amazing.

I love! John Corbett. He is the man that we all want when we're in our 30's and 40's, because he is amazing, handsome, funny and hangs around when things get tough. John I love you.


Next I watched Glee tonight, and I have to say Im very taken by then new starlet Cory Monteith. Not only can he sing, he's amazingly handsome and a good actor. He takes my breath away on Glee and Im bumbed that I have to wait all season for the new season to start lol. Hes the all American guy and just so amazing.


Keeping in theme with men who sing, Elvis Costello has been driving me wild lately. I love him so much and his music. His charm and talent makes him so amazingly handsome to me. I would love to get a Costello tattoo at some point.


As always, Billy Bragg you are a constant love of my life. Even in your older age, you were a handsome young man and I love you everyday for your music and inspiration you give me.


Robert Pattinson, you are just gorgeous.


And not to be a total nerd, but yes, Josh you've made this list of handsome men lol. I miss you so much! And I hope you are doing very well and I cant wait till you come back!


To all the men who inspire me, I love you all in your own special way. You are all so gorgeous and I can only hope you all creep into my dreams at night. XOxo everyone!!!

What men keep you on your toes?!?!?! Xo!
