Dream's Unwind, Love's a State of Mind

I went thrifting on Saturday and got cute clothes, so I dressed up as Stevie Nicks/a witch, OF COURSE! (I think the townspeople were seriously, actually scared of me. Always a total bonus, duh.)

Necklace: unknown

 Dress: thrifted

Lace shawl: vintage

Bag: thrifted 

Rings: Vintage and from a museum

Tights: Wal-Mart

Shoes: thrifted

I thrifted this BLACK VELVET DRESS (OMG VELVET) on Saturday (I also got a pencil skirt but I didn't take a picture) and it is AMAZING! It's way too small and has the most adorable shape and now I am the absolute raddest fat witch babe around!

Also: VELVET. Can we talk about the AMAZINGNESS that is velvet? I want everything ever ever to be in velvet, guys. It is actually the best!

This lace (which I think is a tablecloth but HELLO, looks fab as a shawl!) was my great-great-grandma's, and it's all yellowing and old and has holes and is basically SUPER COOL.

 Also: I had witchy red lipstick and witchy eyeliner. SUMMER WITCH 4EVER <3

My camera was being stupid and wouldn't take clear pics of my rad lace shawl! It's still rad as heckety peg, though!

 My dad gave me this crystal about a year ago, and I LOVEEEE it. It's totally bringin' more of the Stevie Nicks/witchy vibes and it's perfect.

I also thrifted this weaved straw bag on Saturday and I am OBSESSED with it. It's so rad and '60s and so cute! It's gonna be my new EVERYTHING EVER bag.

 My desk has been looking super cute over the past few weeks (with art and glitter and letters and general CUTE THINGS) (PLUS MY ALMOST-DONE LETTER TO ERYN IS THERE YAY)

And somehow all these adorable things with great colors ended up all stacked perfectly right now to each other! MAGIC, GUYS, I swear.

 Also, the weather has been so rad lately and it's totally warming up (YAY COME QUICK SUMMER PLS THANK YOU) so me and my brother listened/danced to records in the woods! We are trying to live a Moonrise Kingdom-like reality, I know. 

Then we continued to LIVE THE DREAM by sitting in our tree house while listening to records before my record player finally died (which was like, after two songs or something). We ate food and had general fun under the sun (also, the above picture shows my cute '50s-y look I was going for. I am dumb and forgot to take a picture of my awesome clothes). EVERYONE should sit in their tree house under the sun and listen to records during spring, guys! IT IS THE CLOSEST TO Badlands AND Moonrise Kingdom WE'LL EVER GET, sadly (but also not sadly because it is a rad experience in general).

I also recently became a contributor to The Pulp Zine! My first illustration went up on Lohla's Astreauxology article and I was so stoked! It's amazing to be a part of this thing with some of the super coolest babes EVER and I am so happy and excited for the future with more PULPINESS! <3

ANYWAYS, summer is MOST DEFINITELY knockin' on the door, and I am SO PUMPED. I have so many activities and plans and fun times I'm hoping to have this summer, and I can't wait for them to happen! 

What are you cutie-dolls doin' while the weather is sweet and sunny?

It's Getting Spring-y But The Weekend Ends Too Soon

FINALLY!

February is over!
It was actually a pretty ~groovy~ month, but everything felt so BUSY and weird. The beginning of this year has been PROCRASTINATION NATION, so I guess my New Year's resolution hasn't really worked very well? ANYWAYS, I'm hoping March will mark the total return to THE BLOGOSPHERE, talking to other bloggers, making new posts, etc. I've got some really rad stuff for you guys this month (INTERVIEWS! DIYs!) so let's say a little prayer that this is gonna be the most productive blogging month yet! MOVING ON, here is a peek at my life during the last few weeks:

Shirt: thrifted

Cardigan: thrifted

Earrings: Girl Props

This outfit was really sweet and cool, which was great because I was exhausted and actually didn't feel sweet/cool much AT ALL. CLOTHES MAKE ME FEEL GOOD, OK??

Pictures of the moon are my favoritest thing ever.

I looked really adorable and Vickie-ish and '70s. I've come to appreciate that these glasses might be the closest I'll ever get to Vickie's shades in my life.

ALL MY BABIES (John is lookin' so fine in the back)

I watched Pink Flamingos a week ago, AND IT WAS THE BESTEST THING EVER. I spent the next day trying to find  a nail polish that matched Connie's hair/nails/everything and Babs'/Cotton's PERFECT lipstick. I'm definitely gonna be doing a whole ~inspiration~ post based on amazingness of the whole movie, so keep a look out!

This was the most Connie Marble-like nail polish I found in my house! It gets super red in some lights and is PERFECT. It's Piggy Paint, which is natural and really awesome. It obviously doesn't last as long as really chemical-y nail polish, but if you blow dry it and put on a couple of coats, it lasts for a pretty long time and is SUPER RAD (Piggy Paint also comes in the CUTEST colors ever and basically melts my heart with love <3)

My brother and I went to the thrift store (I AM 100% JELLO OF HIS LEATHER) and there was this huge, super trashed limo there that said "HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY SHARON" in really sad paint. Duh, we had to get a picture.

I thrifted all these super FAB records a while back! I've added 3 of my darling goddess Janis Ian's records to my collection, a '70s Sounds of The Woodstock Age record ("Knock Three Times" OHMYGOD), an Eydie Gorme Greatest Hits record ("Blame it on The Bossa Nova" is on there and I feel like I'm living in Mermaids. Life goal completed), and a Crystal Gayle record (mostly for pretty aesthetic purposes).

Lately I've been obsessed with putting on make-up and lounging in robes (YES, I AM A '50s MOVIE STAR).

Sunglasses: Ross (???)

Sweater: thrifted

This outfit RULED. My hair was kind of ratted and I was wearing my new pink lipstick, and I TOTALLY felt like a cross between Hipsville  and some badass '60s girl-gang member.

This is THE BEST PICTURE EVER, for the obvious reasons that it was me at like, the best/worst possible moment to take a picture and I kind of look like a spacey alien wearing cool lipstick.

"LOVE" ring: Forever 21

Heart ring: vintage

Braclets: DIY'd

My hands looked amazing and ~cosmic~ and *mystical* that day.

We had a crazy amazingly GORGEOUS sunset the other day! It felt so summer-y and I was insanely happy. My mind is just chanting SUMMER, PLS COME QUICKLY BEFORE I DIE over and over again now!

And, FINALLY, SPRING IS COMING! The days have been sunnier and warmer, and I.AM.IN.LOVE. My family and I took a hike (this weekend was so so so fab, guys) and there was sunlight everywhere! PERFECT? Perfect.
