So! our title is in Finnish today in honor of my beautiful friend Silver, who I got to hang with last night at El Rey in l.a. I woke up late, missed my midterm essay assignment and have a raging headache, but it was all worth it. At the El Rey, we saw Surfer Blood, this band that I had never of before last night and am totally surprised that they're actually good. The home girl Silver like the drummer Tyler, and I think he likes her back. But anyways it was an awesome night of talking and drinking and epic lines like "I once got arrested in Mexico for doing this." Suffice it to say, it was the most fun I have had in like two months. I'll post some pics of the band. Why do the tallest dudes always seems to stand right in front of me at a show? Maybe its karma. But regardless, I'll post some good shit.

Tyler tearing it up!

Backstage, from their dressing room.

So this is them. In case you had never heard of them either. Go check 'em out.

Amongst all things music mayhem, Silver and I got to talking about our former teachers, financial aid woes, shopping addictions, sugar daddies and Morrissey tattoos. So I'm officially obsessed. Here's some inspo pics, because I can: I don't think mine would be like these other ones. but definitely inspired!

This "still ill" is Silver's. she on the right.

vacances sucent.

So I have been crazy busy at work due to the season starting. Nothing but glitter ornaments and Santa plates as far as the eye can see. So much so that I think I've developed an allergy to glitter. Seriously. It was almost ironic how, just when I was starting to get into the Halloween spirit (despite this horrendous weather, I hate sunny California) we got Christmas merchandise at my work and lo and behold; allergies. Just like every other year, I could not decide my costume, that is until I took a little tour of Robinson Beautilities on Venice and found exactly what I needed. They rent costume year round, yes rent, no cheap plastic rayon costume for me, I got the real deal. Here were my inspirations, I won't tell what I'm going to be though. That's a surprise.

It's unbelievably hard to find a full length picture of Lydia not in this wedding dress. I would wear the all black version.

I've always wanted to do Lydia and I could do it with stuff I have in my closet right now.

Harley Quinn. Enough said.

désolé: tatouages, robes, planification et grands-parents.

So so sorry, its been so long since my last post! Work and school have been crazy. Today (as my french title suggests) I'm going to be talking about tattoos, dresses, planning ahead and grandparents. First: Tattoos :)
I have exactly four tattoos. One on my neck, one on my wrist, one on my inner arm and then a matching tattoo on my foot that I share with my friend and sister. I took some shitty photos of each in the computer lab. Enjoy.

Lately though, like for the past three years, I've been craving something new. Either on my shoulder or behind my ankles. I think really long and hard about what I put on my body, and if you want to know what my tattoos mean feel free to ask. I'm also searching for some incredible piece of art or literature to inspire me, so if you've seen something amaze balls share it!
I'm probably going to get something in Hebrew on my shoulder, and I want to get two cute little matching symbols on my ankles. I was half asleep last night night when I thought of his and hers silhouettes, or the Frankenstein monster and his bride! I was thinking also spider webs, crescent moons, flowers, eyes, cats or maybe sugar skulls. I'll post some inspo pics as well.



This is an Aster, which is supposedly my birth month flower. I really want some color for my next tattoo and thought this was beautiful.  The one below it is also my birth month flower, a Forget Me Not. I love how simple it is and that blue is amazing.

I really did want the tattoo to be on a smaller scale, the idea behind it is it's supposed to look dainty when I wear heels. I could do just the Bride and Frankenstein's silhouettes.

I really loved the frame on this one too!

I like G and P the most, but H, I and N are also cute.

This one was tough to find, google eye tattoo and you will see what I mean.

This one is pretty self explanatory, I don't like any of these, but you got the idea. I would not fill my in though.

I thought this was a cute way to combine my two ideas :)

Perfect placement, hers looks gorgeous, again though, I would want mine smaller.

A lot of the ones I found were too ornate, I'd want something simple like this.

Perfect.

Let me know what you think!


Now on to Dresses and planning ahead and grandparents. So my grandparents have been married for 50 years and are renewing their vows in January (grandparents). I already have a date and picked out the dress (planned ahead) (dress). See, I always give what I promise. I thought I'd share some dress ideas, I'm limited due to my size, so I'll also post some dream dresses I'd rather be wearing. I literally went through all of Asos's dresses (plus size and otherwise) but since they have like 600, I'm only gonna post my fave five.
I want to look hot, but also appropriate. my whole family's gonna be there and I need to not look like a slut.

So chic!

Adore!

love this!

the bead work is cute.

pretty

love the color.

Obviously my tastes vary six ways to Sunday, but they're all great.

This is probably the dress.

These other dresses I just like, and I haven't made the final decision of whether or not I should change for the reception (better for dancing purposes.)








My hormones have been acting like a crazy bitch, so today I hate everyone. I have always been madly in love with Tim Burton (no seriously, I want to have his creepy kids) and I remembered his photo shoot with Harper's Bazaar from so long ago, it perfectly depicts how I'm feeling (and what I'd rather be wearing) so I'm gonna post those photos for the fuck of it. Along with another fashion spread I hadn't seen before  today and some gorgeous pics of Helena Bonham Carter, another hero of mine.
