Nightcrawler //Off to Acapulco

The weather up here is scheduled to be cold, rainy, and wet all week. But, I personally could care less. Why? Because 4 days ago, my boyfriend purchased us tickets to Acapulco, Mexico!! I checked the weather and it is an average of 83 degrees. We leave on the 23rd. I cannot wait!!

So - creepy story. Remember how I said "You never know what you're going to get in my neighborhood?" Well, that's not entirely true. It is a well known fact that one thing you can always find is prostitutes. Ugh. When I was innocently taking these photos, I had some creep sneak up on me with his bike (as in not motorcyle)!! Eew!! I grabbed my tripod and ran inside.


Sweater: DIY
Velour Skirt: Express + DIY as seen here
Tights: Wilford
Over the knee Boots: Jessica Simpson

sheersilkandtights//vidoes!!





shirt, blazer and shorts: thirfted, tights: wilford, heels: ??, headband:?? (sorry, that wasn't too helpful)

So...today is a bad hair day. Because, *someone* used up all my curl cream (you know who you are). I am loving this sheer shirt! I think the high collar keeps it out of the "skank" bin.
As some of you may (or may not) know, I'm in to eating healthy and the concept of "raw" foods. So - I've made some videos! Here's my first one (well 2).




The headband from the video can be seen HERE and there's a SALE!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

ZOYA SPAM//Green for Good Luck in your New Year!!

I present to you my recent acquisition of nail polish! All are Zoya, except for the last polish, which is from OPI's Holiday 2009 Collection. Stunner. All are 3 coats, with base, and Seche Vite top coat. Yes, those are my real nails. :)


(above) Zoya Ki
- this is stunning. Reminds me of an oil spot.

Zoya Veruschka Matte
-A bit of a pain to apply. Gets goopy while applying. 2 coats; do not use base or top coat.

Zoya Tangy
-3 coats and still somewhat sheer! Would be good for toes.

Zoya Suvi (a favorite!)

Zoya Midori
- A beautiful shade of green!

Zoya Irene - Another favorite

Zoya Envy
- A vampy shade that wears close to black

Zoya Trixie
-Jewelry for your nails! And, non-streaky. Amazing.

Zoya Richelle
-A little streaky, but beautiful. Because of my skin tone, this wears neutral on me.




OPI's Merry Midnight. HOLY CRAP!!!!! This is an amazing stunner!! OPI, I knew you had it in you. This layers beautifully. This has depth, multi-tonal irregular shaped glitter, and even hints of shimmer. I'm in love.
