Clean Room: Clean Desk

After cleaning out my closet, I decided my desk needed cleaning too.
I threw out tons of stuff I wasn't using & went to Savers to look for things to personalize my work space.
I got a peach lace table cloth, some pretty old containers & a big yellow doily.
From Amvets a while back I got an old wooden Ouija board.
The Ouija board became my desk blotter & now my work space is pretty & girly & slightly creepy, I love it!
My perfumes are on my desk for inspiration- I just love the bottles & how luxurious they look. The bunnies are there because every desk needs bunnies.
I can't wait to start actually working at my desk again, versus just using it to stack school work & random books.

Macklemore Thriftshop Challenge

I took the challenge!
What you do is:
1) post a picture of yourself outside a thriftshop with $20. I did not do this because I used my card- & I didn't want to be flashing it around, BUT I did only spend $20.
2) take a picture of a lyric in the song. I took a picture of myself in a "Big ass coat, from that thriftshop down the road"
3) post what you got for your $20!
It was so much fun!!!
Details of the outfit I shopped in:
Sweater: Goodwill
Scarf: Christmas gift
Jeans: Kohl's sale
Boots: Plato's Closet

I got two tee shirts, the grey one & a mint one not shown, a lace button up, a slouchy tee with mesh cutout parts- so cool! & a long sleeve tee. The fur coat was huge, heavy & rather scary.

Fisherman Sweater & A New Haircut

I found this oversize yet amazingly amazing fisherman's sweater at savers, and snatched it up! I love fisherman sweaters & now I own two- yay! BUT I WANT MORE! they are an addiction honestly.
I paired it with leggings and smoking slippers & got a bagillion compliments that day. The next day... I got my hair cut! It is now assymetrical and fabulous- not exactly very Victorian but very fun, I am really enjoying my new do :)

So here are my clothing details:
Fisherman sweater- Savers
leggings-walmart
slippers-Bon Ton

then:

Grey Hoodie- Harajuku Lovers by Gwen Stefani from Plato's Closet
Jeans- Plato's Closet
shoes- walmart
scarf- gift, its actually a vintage advertisement for a Pink Floyd Album- from the 80's. I don't know why they made a "flag" for the advertisement but hey, I'm sure glad they did because I now have an awesome scarf!

What I Wore:: Yellow Sweater & A New Tattoo

I wrote this list a looong time ago:

Here is my bucket list for this upcoming Fall:

Finish my Zombie Cameos

Buy some balloons for the fun of it

Start drawing some skulls with natural material coming out of them

Create more colored zombie drawings

Get my dog's name tattooed on me-finally

Read a book

Create a more detailed colorful painting

Buy something of Etsy & support an independent artist

Make a faerie house

In recent weeks I have been able to cross things off of my fall bucket list! It has been so exciting, I got a new tattoo for my best friend Poco, and I drew TONS of colorful zombies. It feels nice to accomplish things.

In school I finished 10 new paintings as my professor wanted and at home my room is semi-cleaner. I love my job and today I'm going to hang out with one of my best friends. 

I got my tattoo done at Ink Spot Tattoo, in Buffalo NY. The artist did a great job- he was super quick and the atmosphere was fun but really professional. It was great getting tattooed by the artist- Joe- because it turned out we both love chihuahuas! His had babies when he was young and he helped deliver them- did you know that baby chihuahuas are the size of a peanut (in the shell) when they are born? I nearly died of the cuteness! So needless to say he thought my tattoo idea was awesome :)

I went thrifting a few days later and found this yellow sweater & floral mini, also I got a black sweater thats super soft. 

I decided to make an outfit of them the next day and this is how it turned out, rather cute if I do say so myself:

sweater-thrifted

skirt-thrifted

scarf-gift

bag-target

tights-target

shoes-walmart

And here is a better picture of my new tattoo with the wee man it honors in the background:




Here is Poe kissing me as I'm wearing my new sweater, he wanted to kiss my new tattoo too but I had to say no no! He is very loving and sweet- he kisses everything :3
Hopefully I get to cross off more of my list soon,

Tunes Day

Here are the new records I got from Savers, I love it there so much!! I was thrilled to find awesome vinyl in such good condition!

The records I got were David Bowie- Let's Dance, Madonna's single for Papa Don't Preach, Elton John's Greatest Hits, and Duke by Genesis.


Basically everything at Savers is nice- they really look their items over before re-sell. I got a fisherman's sweater, some mugs, and a pretty scarf too.... also... a mushroom stick pin!! I'm going to do a seperate post about those.

What I wore:: to breakfast

Shirt & skirt: thrifted
Shoes: Walmart
Bag: Payless
Edgar Allen Poe necklace: Fable & Fury
Rings: thrifted & my class rings

We had breakfast at Nelson's Ridge, went to OLV & visited the outside gardens at the Botanical Gardens.
