Layers

(Macys cardigan, C. Ronson tank, BCBG tank, UO jeans, Betsey Johnson socks,
Salvation Army belt and oxfords)

• I'm loving this cardigan. Everytime I throw it on, it automatically gives everything an early 90s grunge vibe.
• Hope you guys don't mind the impromptu bathroom photo shoot. It's much easier to get something accomplished this way at 3am when you can't fall asleep.

(Goodwill sequin jacket, BCBG tank, UO jeans, Payless boots, MJ and Chloe necklace)

• I swear I only picked this jacket up because I'm totally into a sequin phase at this moment. I had no idea of the Balmain-esque potential until I got home and tried it on again. You can be sure I'll be stuffing these shoulders as soon as I get the chance! $9.99 sure goes a long way.
  
• I wore this to watch Crank: High Voltage at the theaters. The only thing I felt after watching was: a) throwing up and b) snatching Johnny Vang's outfit. He had the sickest harem pants and olive tank combo. I could not for the life of me find a picture of him online which is quite sad considering he's got a major supporting role. Highly eccentric directing nonetheless.
• Every blogger these days seems to have a highly skilled photography boyfriend or friend. I am not equipped with either so you'll just have to take what I give you and like it. Besides, I think my shark towel really gives the photo a little something extra, don't you?
  
• You know you've got blogging syndrome when you dream of conversating with Erin Wasson. Seriously?
• I haven't been able to get to that tutorial. I promise I'll get to it as soon as I can!
• For the intellectually curious, I used 1/4 and 1/2 inch gold dome studs from studsandspikes.com on the blazer.
  

A DIY smidge

(DIY studded Salvation Army blazer, DIY shredded tank, Asos harem pants, Chloe and BroBlue necklace)

Just a little DIY I cranked out. Nothing overly complicated. However I was pretty satisfied with the asymmetry of the collar. How very avant-garde of me. I started studding from the left then started studding from the right. I finally got tired of studding and just decided to leave part of it blank. This blazer spoke to me because unlike most blazers that fall straight down, the openings actually angle inward. I'll have to take better pictures of it later for you guys.

A lil thanks

Received my necklaces in the mail that I posted about a few entries back and they definitely met my expectations. Heavy-weighted, real good solid metal pieces. Blue was sweet enough to include one of his skull pendants as a gift. Apparently I spent way too much money and he felt sorry for me. (I'm merely speculating.) If you're interested you can check his work here.

Must Be My Lucky Day v. 409

Leather Bustier via Ebay

• Coincidentally came across this during my aimless searches and obviously came out on 'top'. Pun intended. I think it will go quite nicely with this in my pseudo collection I'm unintentionally starting.
• as far as the DIY corset is concerned, I think I've put that on the backburner because I just can't seem to bring myself to alter it's magnificence. It's much like trying to add something to a Picasso or a Monet. It just feels really wrong. So until some factor of Newton's 1st law of motion changes things, I'll have to come up with some other extraordinary DIY for you guys.
• I've had my 1st request from a reader for a tutorial! How exciting and I will attempt a reenactment of one of my previous DIY this weekend. So stay tuned!
