DIY Sunglasses!

Hey everyone! So today I DIY these sunglasses that Ive had forever. As if I need another pair of black shades, I decided to revamp them, Gaga style. I probably spent a good 45 minutes trying to decide what to put on them, I have all these jewel things my mom let me have and a hot glue gun and pretty much went to town! It was super easy! I do suggest you test out a few things before you start gluing though!

So these are the sunglasses

And heres all the gems I pretty much dumped all over my bed.

Heres the funny, thing, I didnt use any of those!!! hahaha, I had to pick them all up and put them back into the bag. I ended up liking the clear ones more.

The final result!

I think that came out pretty bad ass I must say! I cant wait to rock my sunglasses at night.

Take it easy everyone! XO!

Things Im saving up for!

Since Im finally having my one money coming in! Im going to start actually getting the things I want and saving up for them, sadly they're all so expensive lol. First things first though, the complete Floor "Below & Beyond" box set. There were only 305 made and I just saw that there are only 70 left, and this is a must have. Its $249.99 plus $40.00 shipping. Its the most expensive item but as a collector and huge fan of the band and friend to them, I would regret not having this.

Next would have to be these two sketch books by Steve Bryne and Chad Koeplinger. Both two amazing tattoo artist who I admire so much.

Steve Bryne's $90
Photobucket

Chad Koeplinger's $100

Something not so expensive lol, I have really been wanting a Thomas Hooper shirt for some time now, just never really had the money to splurge on it. His shirt is $24.
Photobucket

And to follow that, the cheapest thing on my list, the Doomriders vinyl "Darkness Come Alive". Thomas Hooper did a lot of their art work and its a non-expensive way to own something he drew lol, plus that album is soooo good! I found a copy on ebay for $12-$18.

Theres a bunch of other things obviously but this is a little taste of what Ill be working towards, along with a new car. I hope everyone's having a good week! Xo!

Back from the dead

Hey everyone. So for the last 3 days Ive been really sick. I had a super busy weekend then got majorly ill. Im so sorry I havent posted anything lately. Starting my new job, my blog has kinda had to take a back seat. Im still adjusting to everything and trying to make time for all the projects I do on the side now. I had an intestinal virus, so needless to say the last 3 days have been hell, hoarding up in the bathroom all night, dehydrated, hungry but couldnt keep anything down. Today is the first day Ive felt someone normal again. I some how managed to pull through for work Monday but when I got home I was just so sick. On a good note! I got a new iPod touch, which I must say...is pretty awesome, I would have been happy with a classic but this one is way fancy lol. I also heard from Josh the other day, which obviously put a smile on my face, I believe it was 12am in Qatar. So Ill get back into the swing of things soon! Dont lose faith in me lolz. I love you all! XO!

I leave you with this lovely quick throw on summer dress. I got this at Forever21 a few years ago.

Kaitlin's Birthday weekend!!!

At midnight it was my best friend Kaitlin's birthday!!!! In honor of this awesome occasion! we went out to the Castle last night and had a ball!! It was just me and her, and I hope she had a good time, because I had so much fun.

I took my Pisschrist shirt and made it into a new crop top lol, since thats awesomely coming back! I cut my shirt before we headed out, threw on my cadet hat and put a PBR pin on it. All in all, it was a good outfit put together in 5 minutes and we both looked ballin!

Photobucket

I have been soooo happy all week! Im so glad I got to kick off her birthday in style. We have an epic weekend ahead of us! Tonight! We're going to see The Wailers (Bob Marley's band) we're going with my Aunt Dee and staying the night at her place....I think Im a little more excited to see my baby girl Betty (my cat lol). Tomorrow, I have to come home and sleep all day because I have work 5-10, then me and Eric are shooting over to St Pete for Kaitlins hotel party! Sunday is going to be chill, because its been a long week, and its gonna be a long weekend haha. I couldnt be happier and just thrilled with life at the moment.

Photobucket

Since I started work I havent had much time to blog and take pictures. My work attire is jeans and my Winners shirt...nothing fancy there, although, Ive been wearing bows in my hair lol. Ive been getting home around 11/11:30 all week. As soon as I ease into things Ill get back into posting more! XOXO everyone, and I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Good Morning!

Good Morning to everyone! I have a lovely routine that I usually do every time I wake up at home haha. I start off with a cup of tea, usually peppermint. I check all my emails, and play my Peggy Lee records. Im a sucker for vintage lounge wear! My mom actually found the red night dress for me and I really love it. Shes so great. The silk robe was gifted to me from my Aunt Dee! Its so pretty, it has a dragon on the back of it.

What do you do in the morning?
Have a great weekend everyone!!! XO!

Day and Night

Hey everyone!!! I hope everyone's week has been good! Mine has been really fulfilling. I got a bunch of goodies thrifting and shopping with my mom, we found a Christian Dior suit at goodwill for $6, um and its soooo pretty! I am happy to say things have been picking up for me lately, Ive been hanging out with friends and meeting awesome new people! Yesterday I decided to dress a little nicer than I had been in the week, typically you can catch me in shorts and a band t-shirt. Also, I had to wear something that didnt bother my new tattoo, because it comes all the way up to my hip. We went to Brandon Mall, and needless to say I dont go to malls anymore, but it was entertaining.

The purse! New! Bought it this week at our secret place! Its leather vintage COACH! (it was $3!! my mom found it, I cant take credit for it)
Photobucket

Heres my mom!!! I thought she looked pretty in that top. Notice how we look sooo much alike haha!
Photobucket

Like mother

btw...meet Panther, hes my new buddy!

SO! The top! New! My grams bought it for my sister and I really liked it.... I was gonna steal it from her anyways, but she tried it on and it did nothing for her! So I got it anyways and it looks sooo cute on me! Grams bought it at Macy's. So to the day and night reference! I wore that top during the day and around 5pm I got asked out on a date!!! This gentleman Josh who I had meet at the beach lol, asked me out for drinks! I really didnt want to change because the shorts I was wearing are such a pain to get on and off and especially with a fresh tattoo on my thy. Well I remembered I bought a new black skirt at Macys (it was $4!) and a belt from our secret place. I changed and took a day outfit and made it night time ready!!! I was so proud of myself.

From day to night, I made this outfit work!
