We all know the hat is wearing me.

Every time I clean, I find this hat box in my closet that has the most fabulous two hats in it! I always put them on and wonder why I never wear them. Then I put them back in the box in the closet and forget about them until the next time I clean. No more! They're too fabulous!

This is the first one. It has these fabulous black feathers dangling from the front.

I remember discovering these when I wanted to go to Las Vegas to see Dita Von Teese perform and thinking that this would be a great hat to wear to that event. I didn't go, but I do need to wear this somewhere.

And this is the second one. It has the same mesh, but this one is bejeweled and is suited better to the daytime.

I don't really know where these came from. They have just always been in my closet. But they're fantastic and deserve to be taken out on the town.

Comin' in hot.

Well, I celebrated my 21st birthday a few days ago. From what I hear, the party was pretty fantastic.

For my daytime look, I went with sequins and a tiara, as one would do. The problem with this tiara is that it's a little subtle. It doesn't scream "it's my birthday!" enough, so you just look a little weird traipsing around town. Oh, well.

For my going out ensemble of the evening, I changed into a lot of animal print. I have been subconsciously all about animal print these days.

I wore an animal print skirt from Target, a black button-up that I found in my closet, black wedges from Forever 21 and a tiny top hat from the Fairfax High Flea Market.

See, the top hat is animal print!

It's your life, it's your party, it's so awful.

Of course, the day I try to post an entry after a month of hiatus, Blogger would be down...

Anyway, we're back on track now. As promised, this is part two of my Rock of Love Chic series. Today, we are discussing bows.

I tried this on in a Sanrio store in Hollywood, and it was really cute and comfortable. Which is hard to find in a headband. But Hello Kitty is asking $30 for it. Which is kind of unreasonable to pay for a headband.

I recently found this sweet online store called the Starry Eyed Bowtique that sells a bunch of hair bows in different sizes, from "tiny" to "huge." Above is "medium." They come in headband, snap clip and alligator clip styles, and they're pretty inexpensive. This one is $16.

As for me, I've already begun my collection.

I picked up these ridiculous accessories at Hot Topic. Where else? I am really digging the small glittery bows, as they also incorporate my love for glitter.

I picked up this headband at Claire's. Where else? It's been fun to revisit the stores I particularly enjoyed in middle school for this project.

I'd sell my soul for money to burn with you.

It's a little late to mention this since the season is long over, but I greatly enjoy the E! show "Married to Rock." I actually enjoy all of those shows -- "Rock of Love," "Charm School," etc.

My favorite "Married to Rock" couple is hands-down Josie and Steve Stevens. They are really adorable. Case in point: she surprised him backstage with a Hello Kitty guitar, which he proceeded to thank her for and play onstage, even though his entire band was horrified.

Anyway. I think Josie is exceptionally awesome, and she has totally had an influence on my style. Never before in my life have I considered enjoying Hello Kitty anything. Now I'm finding myself drawn to pink, bows and assorted cutesy clothing items.

I love her big hair, pink accessories, stripper shoes, ruffles, cutesy jewelry and weird decoupage nails. She has an Etsy shop in which she sells goofy bows and decorated jewelry, but I feel like it's too expensive and would be more fun to make these things myself.

I also didn't mean to bring up "Rock of Love," but since I did, I'm going to give a shout-out to Ashley Klarich, who is also awesome and stylish.

In conclusion, "Rock of Love" chic is on my radar this season.

My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.

It's that time again-- time to check out another of my fashion icons. This time around, I give you Janis Joplin!

Here she is with Big Brother and the Holding Company (wearing a really fantastic outfit):

And here she is with Grace Slick (both of whom look fabulous):

The beading, the texture, the accessories! The little glasses! I want it all.

Don't love nobody, it's not worthwhile.

So, my friend Jen and I were talking, and we've decided that we're going to bring back spats. I have had the desire to bring back spats for years because I'm a big Some Like It Hot fan, which makes me want to become a 1920s gangster.

This movie is fantastic and I highly recommend it for numerous reasons. I've included these pictures to help illustrate how fantastic it is! In the last set, you'll see the antagonists of the movie, including Spats Colombo and his spats. He is very thoroughly badass, and a valid reason to think spats are awesome.

Luckily, spats are sold on Etsy, and here are some that I think are cool:

From BugsAndMonsters.

From veronicavartic.

It makes a fiery ring.

My theme for March is using Photo Booth to photograph my accessories while wearing a heavy metal t-shirt. Today, I'm posting about the rings I've been wearing as of late.

I made a point to run out and get the gold two-finger cross ring for three dollars at Forever 21. And then I found myself at the arcade, spending my skee ball winnings on a plastic dollar sign ring (and a purple slinky, but I digress). When I put them on together, it looked like I was making commentary on the relationship between capitalism and Christianity in American society. I suspect Marilyn Manson would approve.

And this is the only other ring I wear at all. Why wear jewelry if you're not going to make a political statement, right?

When the heart guides the hand.

My heart-shaped glasses arrived Saturday afternoon (all the way from Hong Kong, apparently)!

These pictures are not the highest quality, but the sunglasses are exceptionally cool. I was slightly concerned that these would look too Marilyn Manson on me, but if I had been worried about that, I probably should have stopped a long time ago.

Yeah! And, I miss spring break already. I hardly knew ye.

Lost inside adorable illusion.

It's officially spring break! I just recovered from some weird losing-my-voice-for-three-days thing, and, even though it snowed a little a couple of days ago, it looks like we'll have some good weather in our future. Ready to par-tay.

In preparation for good weather par-taying, I have chronicled my favorite pairs of sunglasses.

See, I think it's important to have an array of colorful sunglasses because they really add a splash of color to your sweet Poison t-shirt.

The pink ones are from Charlotte Russe, the black ones are thrifted by my mother, the yellow ones are from the Fairfax High Flea Market and I do not recall where the red ones are from.

I recently ordered these heart-shaped glasses for six dollars from eBay:

Looking forward to their arrival! I will update once they're here (which should be soon, I hope).

Until then.
