Alexander McQueen for Target

Yep! They finally did it at my favorite mega-retailer! They got a BIG time designer. Not that they haven't before with Isaac Mizrahi, Mossimo, Luella, etc, etc. But Alexander McQueen??? That's amazing. I love the advertising/modeling with the Blythe dolls as well. So cute! I may buy some leggings but the clothes aren't actually looking too flattering for me. Nonetheless, I'm still super excited! Go Target!

Still Liking the Shiny/Leather Leggings!

I was perusing the Craftzine Blog and came upon this wonderful tutorial for latex leggings. These leggings are reminiscent of the tight pants that Olivia Newton John wore at the end of Grease, but since they are stretch latex we have the luxury of stepping into them rather than having them sewn on to our bodies. The leggings look pretty awesome and I would love to make them myself, but I'm pretty sure that I am allergic to latex since my skin gets super red and irritated using the gloves in my classes.

This blog, Making Latex Clothing is really interesting and informative. I am definitely going to be following it to gain some extra knowledge.

I have been wearing the leggings that I bought last fall, but only very occasionally. I need to find, or make some tunics that go with them since I only have a few. I did get a chance to wear the leggings last Friday with my awesome leather jacket (that I also never wear) and my new red patent platforms and a grey tunic that I have. It ended up being super cute and I can't wait to wear the leggings again! I don't have a picture of the outfit which is a bummer.



And just because...

I finally had my hair cut and re-dyed last week. I hadn't done it since September, yikes! But it's looking pretty awesome too!


Side bangs, layers and a flower that my friend made me for my birthday. I'm pretty excited!
