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.

The way your eyes look into me.

What are you doing to me, Jeffrey Campbell? I should just buy stock in this company. I should be able to earn frequent-buyer and/or frequent-admirer points toward free shoes. Right?

Anyway, here are some picks for the next Jeffrey Campbell shoes I will become obsessed with:

These are the Rally Wedges in black suede. Look at how tall and how glittery. Can you imagine? I could totally rock these... $198.

These are the beige floral Swansong wedges. I don't even like sandals, and I really don't like open-toed shoes. But these seem so perfect for spring/summer frolicking. I think I'd just like anything if it's got a high enough platform. $112.

And these are the 99 Tie Glitter wedges in red glitter! This style has been around for a while. I actually posted about the 99 Zip wedges a long time ago. But now they come in silver, pewter, red and multi glitter. And I may own a fair amount of glittery shoes, but I don't own any that are red. $139.95.

Its cold heart is melting.

It's really depressing to be back in Reno just in time for a snow storm after spending spring break in Hollywood. I had a great week, though. I finished the week up by going to see Jay and Silent Bob Get Old in Universal City.

I wore my new dress from Zara. Somebody had run off with the belt that went with this dress, so I took a different one that turned out to be way too big. We had to poke a hole in it with a Swiss Army Knife.

These are my terrible hotel outfit photos. None of the lights worked in our room. I wore the dress with my Jessica Simpson heels and ended up meeting Jason Mewes after the show.

He was my first celebrity crush. I will always love him.

C-Call me crazy; I've been called worse.

Here is an outfit I wore for various adventures on Friday, such as interviewing some candidates at my school for many hours.

It consists of my H&M dress, Charlotte Russe faux leather jacket and Charlotte Russe boots. Man, I wear those boots 24/7 with every outfit.

The moon went up, and I went out of my head.

I finally found the Jessica Simpson Dany shoes on sale. I almost got them in metallic silver, but I figured that black would go with everything. I really dig them.

They're really high, and the heel just seems really gigantic, heavy and sturdy. If I hit somebody with that, they would be going down.

This is also the first time I've worn my ridiculous Rob Zombie socks. I'm still pretty mad at him for canceling his Reno show, but I guess I've got to move on with my life. I really liked this look. If I had on a little black dress, I'd be ready to go out on the town.

If Rob Zombie is distracting you, this is what they look like without the socks:

No one on the corner has swagger like us.

Today was pretty fun. I went to my guitar lesson and drove around town.

Wore my American Apparel 'Le Sac' dress. You're supposed to be able to wear it many different ways, but this is the only way I've been able to successfully execute it. I am also wearing Forever 21 clogs and sunglasses that my mum brought me back from the outskirts of Nevada.
