UH merica

I was originally going to be an American Gladiator for halloween last year. That didn't happen. Well the next best thing would be adding a second flag-inspired swimsuit into my collection, especially one by Jeremy Scott. Hey, I go to the beach like A LOT in the summer. Plus this can double as a bodysuit! On another note, I put up new stuff in the Mart.. go PEEP.

Under the Sea

The man, the myth, the legend...KARL. I don't know how he does it season after season. For Chanel's spring extravaganza he found his inspiration in a place where the sun don't shine. No, not THAT place you freak...I'm talking beyond the depths of the glistening ocean, far down where nature so elegantly takes its course. Think the fantasy of Little Mermaid meets the shimmering magic that is Glinda, the good witch from Wizard of Oz. Silvers and whites and iridescence formed the collection around a set only Karl could pull off. But beyond the clothing, the hair as an accessory, body jewelry and makeup really kicked some serious mother-of-pearl ass.

Get up

It's a new year! Now we all have that extra kick in the butt to do the things we talked about last year but never got around to. For me that's taking a metals/jewelry class so I can learn how to cast kick-ass stuff. Artist Michelle Lopez had the brilliant idea of making these sterling silver band-aid rings...perfect for the clumsy-type with a sense of humor, aka ME.

So the past few months, I've gotten quite addicted to Svpply. If you aren't familiar with the site, it basically lets you install a button in your bookmarks bar so whenever you see something you like/want/have to have/want to dream about but realistically won't buy, you can click it and it saves it in your "Wants". It comes in handy a lot, and it's a good way to figure out if that thing you were DYING over 3 months ago still makes you feel the same way when you look at it again. Anywho, Svpply is holding this holiday wish list contest so I made an entry. There's only a few more days left to vote, but thought I'd ask you guys! Can you vote for me (please and thanks)??
