Halloween
















Yes, I know this post is late and it's all my fault. The day after I posted the first costume and promised to refrain from slacking. My computer and I had a disagreement. I was very mean to it(I punched it and shouted insults at it), afterwards I promised I would never do it again(I begged profusely until it started to work again) and now we are friends. When the screen went black I started screaming MY PICTURES! I have a ton of things that I haven't gotten around to posting yet.I think I may have to buy a new computer very soon. You would think that since I live in the electronics capitol of the world I could find any computer part that I needed, but that is so not the case. I have to wait 3 weeks for a new part to come. Please bear with me, if you don't hear from me now you know why. I'm really hoping that me and my computer can stick it out until the new part arrives. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Anyway, this kimono is the absolute nonsense, in a good way. When I saw it I knew it had a place on my shelf. I'm dressed up as the girl that's painted on the kimono. She's a girl from the Heian era, so I had to whip out some red lipstick. I don't really mess around with make-up, but it was definitely needed for this outfit. Traditionally Heian girls had hair that reached their ankles. I looked damn near everywhere, but they don't make wigs like that anymore, so I had to make do with what I could find. I like a good wig. They easy to throw on and they give my hair a nice break between stylings. I do hope that you enjoy the kimono. It was very hard deciding on which two to wear. Right now I'm in the process of winterizing some of them, although it's still hot as hell here. I would love to wear a long sleeve shirt without sweating profusely. Thank you so much for all your sweet comments.

P.S. I hope that my computer will continue to be my friend.

I found your blog through your Etsy and I must say I was pleasantly surprised! I HAD to read your blog from the beginning just to soak it all in. So much color and creative outfits. I am admittedly a lover of black and gothic-y things but the way you use color is truly phenomenal! I am surprised you haven't been shot in FrUiTs yet! Anyways, if you were back home in NYC I am SURE a style blogger would have you up ALL THE TIME! I must also add that your photography skills have gotten better also. Kudos if it is still just you and your tripod! Anyways, reading your blog has truly inspired me to ERNESTLY start my own style blog... FINALLY. Wish me luck. (Still sorting some things out but at least I have inspiration, right?)
