Unicorn!

I found this adorable unicorn figurine at Charlies Thrift Store. It was 50 cents and needed to come home with me! She was a bit dirt so I cleaned her up and made her look all new and lots of glitter!

Before!

Get the Connolly Look

Hey everyone!! Wow I havent been posting much. Lately Ive been feeling a bit bummed out, just things catching up to me. Getting down on myself for no real reason. I was painting the other night and wished I was a better artist. Been working hard but have felt like its getting no where. I guess I just need a positive boost every now and then. Well today is bright and sunny outside! Todays casual look was inspired by a friend of mine, a Mr. Connolly. I was kinda goofin around mostly and this defiantly put a little smile on my face. I put on Toots and the Maytals while I was outside chillin.

These really are my favorite shorts. I got ripped them last summer and never got around to fixing them. Well I finally sewed a patch on the back of them and boy golly it feels nice to wear them again lol.

If my friends who know him saw this, they'd get a little laugh out of it Im sure. Again I was just goofing around, but I hope he finds it flattering. He has always been a big influence to me on a lot of things.

This weekend should be promising! Hopefully Ill get out of this funk Im in and be more inspired. I hope everyone is having a great week! The weekend is almost here!!! Pull through!! lol

Playing Dress up!

Every now and then Ill just get bored in my room and tonight was one of those nights. Theres so many things I never get to wear so I like to put them on, see how the look, and get reminded how awesome some of the pieces I have in my collection. Im going to start selling some of my pieces but these Im thinking I like to much to get rid of.
