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:

Step inside the party, disrupt the whole scene.



I have been thinking about these ModCloth shoes for an excessively long period of time. They're called "Science Fiction Booties," which is probably what made me curious in the first place. Initially, I wasn't sure if I thought they were attractive or not, but then I read the description:
You'll be 'queen' of the style universe when you bring these astronomically amazing booties into your life! Their rich caramel and crimson dual toned, geometrically shaped leather upper will protect your feet from unwanted invaders from the planet Earth, while a brightly printed sole, and stylishly soft pink velvet interior put these ankle boots light years ahead of their time! Highlight your intergalactic gams with a pair of sparkling tights and a mod mini dress, and you'll be fighting bad fashion, one step at a time.
Yes, now I am with you.

Hitches in the plan:
1. They are $99.99, although marked down from $147.99, so, there's that.
2. They are sold out of my size! So, there, I don't even have a choice.

Sure are dreamy, though.

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.

I left my head and my heart on the dancefloor.

Today, we had that freak hailstorm that I was talking about. Nonetheless, I finally wore out the H&M dress that I got this winter. I have been excited about this outfit for months. I borrowed a jacket of my mother's against her will and wore it with some shoes that she gave me last year.



My mother also took these pictures and suggested that I stand on top of an unstable broken tree.

Glitter, you're my lover.

It's a good thing I have such a terrible shopping addiction because I always have fabulous new shoes to write about! The latest being:

I now officially own two pairs of shoes covered entirely in glitter... Awesome! I had my eye on these Forever 21 glitter boots for quite a while, but I decided to go for it this weekend and they arrived in the mail this morning. It's really fun ordering things online for me because you get to open the package like it's your birthday. I was concerned about them because I didn't get to try them on and, since they were on sale, they can't be returned. But they fit marvelously, look fantastic and are quite comfortable.

Success!
