Ahhhhh I want that octopus!!! And I love their outfits at the end. Funeral attire has always fascinated me. :)

My Monsieur bought me these!!! They arrived in the mail yesterday, I love them so much!! I'll have to post a picture wearing them [that's not me in the picture, but don't worry, the earrings I got had never been worn.] I love them so much. Gaaaah I can't get over how awesome they are! They're so much prettier in real life. I totally suggest getting something from this seller, they're made by hand, so unique, and so cute! ^_^

My style 'resolutions.'

1. Don't rely on black. This will be a very hard resolution to keep. I rely on black as the foundation for almost every outfit I wear. Black is lovely and I love wearing it, but wearing it all the time can get boring. I start getting into safe zones and not stretching my creativity. I hate that.

2. Add animals! I love love love love love animals. I love octopuses, I love insects. Regardless of what's 'in' at the moment, I can use my accessories to show the world how in love I am with wildlife and strange beasts. ^_^

3. Accessorize more. Like previously mentioned, my accessories can take me a long way. I can ear the same thing twice and make it look completely different. It's all in the accessories. And I must admit, sometimes I forget the power of a good bracelet or smashing earrings and just throw on clothes, shoes, and grab my purse and go. This is a big no no for 2010. I want to use my accessories to their fullest extent this year. I want to get the biggest bang for my buck.

4. Only buy what I need. This one will be painful. If I don't need it, I don't need to buy it. I'm moving into the adult world, and there are quite a few things God has in store for me this year. I'll be doing a lot of growing up and getting ready to handle some very grown up things. And buying crap I don't need that I'm never going to wear.... it's just not a good idea. If I don't need it and if it's not going to stretch itself and work with everything in my wardrobe, I don't need to buy it. This means list making, stretching my wardrobe, and learning how to wear things a million different ways.
5. Have fun! Don't fall into safe zones or wear the same things over and over again. Take chances, make mistakes, try trends, have fun.

Things I need.

Browsing Etsy and reading fashion blogs regularly provides me with plenty of stuff I think I need, and sometimes stuff I really do actually need. Here's a list of the stuff I really do actually need. :D
Fake gauges that look like octopus tentacles. I need these. NEEEED them. Seriously, I could wear these with almost anything in my closet. And if I want gauges for a day, bam! I have them. How awesome is that?!??!
Super cute tiny bat studs? I could wear these with literally EVERYTHING in my closet and I wouldn't have to worry about look to Halloween-y. It'd be a special little surprise for anyone that looked close enough. How lovely. ^_^This is something I would never buy for myself, and unfortunately it's not for sale. :( Someone already bought it. But no wonder, it's an octopus locket ring! So beautiful....so beautiful. :(
Let's end on a happier note, shall we? Isn't he so cute???????? A silver june bug ring. Absolutely genius. I need it. :D

Things that bug me [right now.]

1. Christmas Day Bomb Attempt: The United States was warned by this dude's father. And we let him on an airplane. But no one's saying anything because that would make the Savior Obama look bad. If this had been Bush's administration Bush would've gotten impeached.
2. Everyone's so in love with Zooey Deschanel: She's cute and all, if you like the mousey look, but seriously, she can't act to save her life! Her sister Emily, however, is an excellent actress who only gets TV show roles while Zooey, who gives me stomach pains when I watch her try to do any sort of acting at all, gets big movie roles. Why?
3. People who complain that actresses/actors/singers/insert other occupation that makes you famous and in the public eye here are fat: The majority of the people sitting on their butts doing nothing but sitting in front of a computer screen eating chips and griping about how these people are so grotesque and fat are.....fat.
4. The 'Fashion Police': Ok, I agree with them about Lady Gaga. But really, even the name is silly. Fashion is about being weird and having fun and doing stuff differently. It's an art and the only way you get good at art is by practice, repetition, and failure. Get off our backs and let us have some fun.
5. People who gripe about Avatar without seeing it first: Yes, there is an anti-war message. Yes, there are environmentalist messages, lots of them. But seriously, go see the movie before you gripe about it! I've heard absurd arguments that are not backed up with any fact at all simply because the person hasn't seen the movie. If you're going to gripe and complain, have your facts straight and go WATCH THE FREAKIN MOVIE.

I'm moving to Pandora.

You can come too.

Busy busy busy.

I'll be going to take my ACT test tomorrow. I'm going to take some business courses at OCCC, and even though they might get so boring I'll want to stab myself in the eye with a pencil at times, they will be worth it. I need all that business mumbo jumbo so that I won't be grasping at straws later on down the line...

And with everything that's going on currently [getting enrolled, possibly getting a new and better job], I think I might just start posting outfits. Might. Possibly. Hopefully.
