POSSESSED

The other night me and some friends finished off a few bottles of wine and decided it was a good idea to go to a forest and do a little photoshoot. Tried to look possessed as possible, think it kind of worked. We were having some technical difficulties with the camera but we did manage to get some great shots! Check them out!

I can't resist

Yes, another video. I know, I know. I want to start posting photos again but something is wrong with my Canon Rebel. I was getting an error about my CompactFlash and now it won't even turn on. I'm probably going to see if I can get it to work with a new memory card. Hopefully that works because otherwise I'm screewwweedddd. I can't afford a new camera!

Anyways, here is the best way I could showcase my latest DIY. I came across a dance outfit for $4 at a thrift store and knew I needed to do something with it. It was essentially a velvet bodysuit with a long tassel skirt. So this afternoon I seam ripped the tassels off and stuck them on the sleeves of a hoodie I picked up for $15. Not too bad for under $20, I'd say! It only took me about an hour in total, too. Such a quick and cheap DIY. I LOVE IT!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm lucky enough to have all weekend off which I'm really looking forward to. Pray for me and my camera! Jeeeeeeeez!

Thrifting with PULLTEETH

Went shopping with my girl Kylie of Nice and Shiny last week and we recorded this little video. She was being a little camera shy so here's me trying on the nicest stuff we could find....

Kind of wish I bought the garbage bag looking black jacket now... hmmm...

Okay

I've been wanting to try out this look ever since the Alexander Wang Fall 2009 show. (It's alright to be inspired by a womanswear show when it's clearly got menswear influences, right??) The hunt was on for the perfect wide brimmed hat and I think I may have found it! Came across this hat thrifting the other day but it had a slight cowboy hat curve to it, so I've been working on flattening it out. I'm aware I look completely Amish and I'm willing to get over that. I'm into it. Amish-chic, we'll call it. It's the latest craze!!

I wear eyewear

Here comes the typical "sorry I haven't blogged in so long" speech. SORRY I HAVEN'T BLOGGED IN SO LONG!!! I actually didn't realize how long it was until tonight. Jeez. I could say I was really busy but that would be a lie. I've been moderately busy but in some what of a slum. I think it has to do with the fact that my room is so messy and it's getting to the end of winter. I'm just ready for some spring cleaning and some spring weather. Something to revive my inspiration pulse because fashion week hasn't really but cutting it for me yet. Can't wait for the Jeremy Scott show tomorrow, though!!

Anywho I threw together a little video tonight. I have a box full of sunglasses and I usually forget to wear most of them. So, here is a quick video of 20 pairs of glasses :)

And just as I thought I was getting over studs, Gaga had to step out with this creation

My fingers hurt just THINKING about trying to stud that. OUCH. Would be soooo worth it, though. That thing is beauuutiful.

I Need Something I Can Dance To

Last night was WILLLDDDDDDDD. There was a insane warehouse party in a building downtown and it seemed like every person I knew was there. Couldn't turn a corner without seeing a familiar face which is always nice. Shared some drinks, some kisses, some dances. Party got broken up at about 3:30 by the cops which in my case was probably a good thing, otherwise I probably would have ended up spending the entire night out.
And to keep in tune with my last post, on the road to high bun glory I'm entering a zone of unfortunate emo looking bangs. It's not so bad yet but I'm trying out a few different things. Last night I sported a french braided hair crown of sorts. I'm really into this look and it's also nice to have my hair out of my way while I dance (though I do love throwing out a good hair flip once in a while :P)

COLORSPLASH

As some of you may know, I've got quite the hair time line laid out for myself. Included in said time line is bleaching my hair for the second time. I experimented with this last summer with box die and my hair turned out piss yellow. It wasn't so bad but it didn't quite itch my scratch. Next time I do it I'm getting it professionally done and killing my hair until it's white. And I figured this time around if I'm going to kill my hair, I'm going to kill it right! What would that entail? Dying it a ton of different colors to suit my mood, obviously! What the hell, right? I put together this collage/inspiration board of colored hair looks I loved. Kind of funny how many times Cole Mohr has sported the rainbow hair. And no collage on my blog is complete without Gagaz.


Any of you guys experimented with dying your hair with Kool Aid? It seems like that would be the most reasonable/cost efficient method for what I want. Especially considering the fact that I'll want most colors to be as temporary as possible.

I also figured this could a sort of on-going feature on my blog. I have a few other hair looks I'm dying to try out so I think I'll share them with ya'll along the way.

iamamiwhoami

Has anyone else been following the mysterious videos of iamamiwhoami?? There is so much speculation about these damn videos. Personally, I can't get enough of it. So here's the lowdown. Nobody knows who these viral videos are for and there are theories about them being to promote an artists new album. The most prevalent guesses are Gaga (I don't believe it), Goldfrapp (don't believe it either) and most of all Christina Aguilera. I was really into the idea of it being Xtina when I first saw them but quickly wrote them off. Too extreme for her image. But as more and more clues are released I'm starting to believe it. Take a look for yourself:



Clue 1: This image uploaded on the Sony BMG website with the extension /Christina_Aguilera/Promo_Album.jpg

Clue 2: If you add up all of the numbers before a decimal and attach a letter to its corresponding number (A=1, B=2, C=3, etc.) you’ll notice that each video has a distinct message:

Prelude 699130082.451322 = (38.17) = (CH.AG) = CH. AG.
9.1.13.669321018 = I. A. M. CH.
9.20.19.13.5.723378 = I.T.S.M.E.C.

I'm starting to really believe this is her!! There are a ton of clues though I haven't been following very closely. If you're interested check out the Christina Aguilera tag on ONTD. Pretty interesting read if you're bored and home alone on a Saturday night like me!

I don't wear bracelets much but when I starting putting the ones I have on I realized how many I actually own... way more than I thought. I guess I just pick them up here and there but never really think about putting them on. I guess I'm going to have to add them into my thought process now.

Vintage gold faceless watch, vintage 'OK' bracelet, random $5 watch, H&M faux leather wrap bracelet, vintage stud bracelet, cross necklace.

I ordered this jacket from Nasty Gal last week and it arrived today. I really love it, you can wear it so many different ways. I was going to just take some photos but my SLR isn't working so I thought I would record a quick video instead. Hope you guys like it!

Jumanji pants

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't posted in a while, it seems like I've been going non-stop for the last week. Thought I would share a quick DIY project I've been working on for a little while now. I've wanted a pair of jodhpurs for God knows how long but haven't really come across a pair I liked, so I thought I would try making my own. These were just a regular pair of cargo pants I picked up at a thrift store and I sewed them super super tight at the bottom all the way to the pocket. A quick, easy and cheap DIY and they came out just the way I wanted them. Take a look!!



Any time I put them on my mind immediately goes to Jumanji. Not sure why, probably the poacher. Still deciding how I want to wear them, any suggestions?

Also, I haven't really been keeping up with fashion week (I'm the worst!!) but the one show I'm DYING over is Juun J Fall 2010. Here's a few of my favorite looks.

Rollarskate Date

Went roller skating with a few cool chicas this past week! It's always awesome making friends with other bloggers. These guys are serious when it comes to posing, though. When a camera was pointed at me I would get a little shy, but these girls would smize me to death. Sooo much cool!! I prayed to god before I got there that they would play Gaga and Bad Romance came on as I was tying up my skates. Start to a great afternoon, I'd say. I think I'm going to change my career path to "Roller Rink DJ." Do they offer classes for that in university???

On a side note.. if you're not already listening to the song I posted, SCROLL UP AND CLICK PLAY. You will not regret it.

Anyways, check out Antonia's blog Live Glam Or Die, Zoe's blog Le Mille Fiori, and Raez of Cheap Thrills (Watch out for this girl, she's going to be huge) Also, all these photos belong to her, other than the first.

Fake Everything

I've really liked the House of Holland x Levis jeans ever since they were in his S/S 09 collection, but I never gave a thought about actually owning a pair. But for some reason recently I felt like I just neeeeded them. Obviously, my mind immediately went to what it knows best.. DIY!! These came together in one night, and pretty seamlessly! (unlike most of my other DIY projects)
I thought I would give some step by step instructions for anyone who is wanting to try this out. It really is inexpensive (I spent a total of $8) nor time consuming. Give it a try!!

What you'll need:

• A pair of jeans (mine are second hand Levi's, lighter the wash the better)
• Two sharpies (as thick as you can find as well as regular size)
• Round object to trace (mine was 6cm)
• Exact-o knife
  
• Ruler
• Thin cardboard or poster paper
• Tape (optional)

Trace the circle you want and very carefully cut it with your exacto knife. Be sure to take your time because having a good stencil will really help you in the long run. After cutting mine out, I lined the edges with regular scotch tape, just to make it a little more durable for when I was tracing.


Decide where you want your first line of polka dots to begin. Measure your circle before choosing your size and make sure it is very close to a regular measurement. (ie 6 cm) It's really going to help you in the long run with measuring out your polka dots.
On the jeans, start marking dots every 6 inches (or however big your dots are), These will be the top and bottom of your circle. I would recommend doing an entire row of dots before starting to draw in your circles. I suggested having two sharpies because it's hard to trace and accurate circle with a thick one, but when you're coloring it in you'll really enjoy having a thicker one.


Once you've done your first line, you'll have to decide how far apart you want your polka dots to be. For me, I placed my ruler halfway through my current line of circles and it worked out to be the perfect spacing me. All you'll have to do is transfer the dots (which will now be the top and bottom of your drawn in circles) on your new line. If you did your first one properly you're circles should be equal distances apart, the same size as your circles, leaving the perfect amount of space for your new dots. Figuring out how far apart you want them is tough the first but you'll be able to get the hang of it.

From then on, it's pretty redundant. You'll start to get the hang of it and figure out what works for you. I ended up tracing out all the circles and coloring them in after.

And there you have it! Your very own House of Holland x Levis jeans for about 1% of the price.

And, as a special bonus, I recorded a VIDEO! I've never worked with video and it is pretty overwhelming but I like my little project I threw together. I've been interested in venturing into ~film~ after seeing Lady Gaga's Monster Ball to be honest, so many cool videos! So inspiring. (see the opening number here, so cool!)

MURDER

Getting sick of just my regular leather motorcycle jacket so I thought I would try a few different looks with it. I didn't realize how murderous this post was going to be until I was looking through the photos, yikes!! The fur and jacket are second hand, and the ASOS feather cape came with a tag saying the feathers are from the food industry, rather than being bred just for the feathers. I guess that's not so bad :P
Also, I was trying to think of an appropriate song to post and this is the only thing I could come up with. I'm actually quite happy with my decision now...
Hope everyone is having a good start to the new year. LOVE U BYE

711 New Years

Sitting at my friend Emma's house trying to decide what to do for New Years Eve, we came up with the most logical solution. Go to 711 and buy a disposible camera and ring in the new year there. So, that's what we did. I can tell this decade is going to be a good one, if this is any indication.
