CHICK HABIT

I was in a weird mood when we took these pics, I think it shows....anyhooooooo

Sweater Dress: unknown (maybe vintage?)

Knit leggings: Forever 21

Boots: Vintage Frye

Hat: my mans vintage Borselino

Leather necklace: my own design

///I found this sweater dress at Buffalo Exchange...the colors really caught my attention...I LOVE the color combo and the pattern...it is a bit big on me but I don't really care, (a belt doesn't help, believe me I tried), it just bulks it out in the wrong way... regardless it is comfort supreme!!! Worn with my fave Fryes that were a gift MOONS ago, the knit leggings I can't take off and topped with my man's vintage Borselino. He gets so worried when I wear it because it is so precious to him....I would never do anything to hurt such a beautiful piece...puulleez!

I just realized that this is my 100th post!!!!...(i am patting myself on the back). This blog and the whole blogging world has been my savior out here. I feel like I can really express myself and still feel a part of a fashion community as I did back East. I love my blog, I love all my readers and I love all of my reader's blogs!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!///

DRAGON GIRL

Maybe you have been wondering about the red lip I have recently been rocking pretty frequently...or maybe not...well, I'm going to tell you anyways...I have been OVERLY fucking ecstatic about the NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencils, mine being in the shade Dragon Girl, seriously this is the best lip stick/pencil EVER! Besides the color (AH MAZ ING) it stays on and doesn't dry out your lips...swear!!...soft and velvety as they mention in the name...

Hello, have you met my pores? Ain't no airbrushing here!

GARDEN GLAM

I have been obsessed with taking care of my very modest above ground garden in our New Mexico backyard...I love it. My man often laughs at me because I tend to my garden in whatever I happen to be wearing...

Sowing the seeds of love

My baby

Wearing a thrifted Grecian sundress that I dyed, leather corset belt of my own design...

The weeds in our backyard are out of control but I kind of love it...it's wild, wild west! Leather criss-cross clogs I purchased in Philly at Lost & Found...one of my favorite boutiques!!

Our son, Chance, loves to be in the action!

More of my jewelry...Shimmy Shimmy Shake necklace in white leather, Tiny Dagger earrings, topped with one of my favorite necklaces that my man gave me when we first met, a 2 nautilus fossil piece from Bootleg

TA DAAA!

So FINALLY I have been creating again and I am so excited about it. I have been in a creative slump for a while now, not really knowing what direction I am going in next. Yes, I was making those great (if I do say so myself) corset belts but I haven't really been so into them. Something has just been missing. I came to New Mexico with the intention of starting to make jewelry but I have really been struggling with what direction to go because I really wanted to stay true to my roots of design with fabrics AND I also wanted it to be like nothing else out there!! About a month or so ago I sobered up (I swear I am not a complete drunk!) and pretended like I was "pregnant" with my new designs and this is what was born. I am extremely happy with the outcome and am excited to keep evolving and learning to advance my pieces. So here is the first batch...P.S. they are all made from leather...some with lace printed on them...

This is one of my faves...The Shimmy Shimmy Shake...

brown embossed gator print leather...the intention was a rib...I see drooping ribs...some people see M's...tiny leather daggers hanging from center

2 giant white leafs with tiny leather daggers...

shiny black gator print embossed leather, organic shape with tiny daggers

4 leaf design with 1 hanging leaf...love

gray leather with double organic shape...tiny leather daggers

I am still in the process of naming my line so I will keep you posted with when I finally figure it out...I have so many ideas!! I hope you like them...I would love any feedback...
