RUNNIN' ERRANDS

Romwe two tone leather trench moto jacket/spiked leather cuff, Zara zippers riding pants, UO stripe mullet tee, vintage lace up boots, vintage leather backpack purse, vintage cross necklace, DIY leather wrap spiked/stud cuff and random rings

Over the weekend I got a shitload of questions about being a fashionable Mother. 

Do I dress over the top when I volunteer at school? Does my son like it? What do the other parents think? Does it freak out the other kids/his friends? (The questions were way harsh, I had to rephrase them for you.)

Ummm duh and DUH!! This is how I dress when I'm doing regular Mom stuff...grocery shopping, washing the car, PTA meetings, the park, whateves! This is as "toned down" as Mama's gonna get boo!

Of course my son loves it...he thinks I'm the coolest blogger Mom on the planet, Janet! I don't think he would want it any other way.

As for the other parents, hahaha what they have to say about me falls on deaf ears cause I don't

GIVE A FUUUUCK!!! (middle fingers up)

And the children love me...all the little girls think I'm effin cool and always ask me to bring them something from my vintage collection. I actually gave them all heart sunnies for Xmas. 

The way I dress has nothing to do with me as a parent. Looking at me you would think I'm all fun and games when it comes to my son but homie don't play that! I'm strict as FUUUUUCK! And I'm raising my son old school when it comes to morals and self respect. Yes ma'am, no ma'am, please and thank you were Ephraim's first words! 

I strive to be nothing but the best for him and I'm a stay at home so I can be there for him whenever he needs me. I'm writing this with tears in my eyes cause NO ONE insults me as a parent...you got that!! My son is my life!

EDDIE MUNSTER

vintage 90s chunky lace up boots

Oh go ahead and say it...SAY IT!! I know these shoes are ugly as fuck and I loooooove them! As Ephraim put it "gothic clown shoes", lol! I've always liked ugly chunky boots from the 90s but never had the balls to buy them cause I didn't know if I could make them work with my skinny legs.

Well I found these yesterday while thrifting in my favorite spot. It's always a clusterfuck as soon as you walk through the door, so shoes are hard to find. I actually tripped over these mofos and almost broke my neck which I assumed was destiny or a sign from the Vintage Gods. And for 50 cents...SOLD!

I immediately went home and add studs to the front for that extra edge.

Idk, I frickin' love them!! You?

SAY WHAT?

vintage destroyed denim shorts, Romwe leather denim top with customized spikes/leather spike cuff, vintage camo Army jacket, vintage leather backpack purse, Nasty Gal JC Tardy boots with customized spikes/studs by me, Topshop heart garter tights, Mad Lady chain cuff, Beginning Boutique cage ring, black cross necklace and random rings

Oh my Satan this has been the most overwhelming and humbling week ever! Like I'm one of those people if you give me a compliment, I'm going to thank you with the biggest smile, hand on the chest  with the "REALLY" face, you know the whole sha-bang! That's just how I was raised. So all this extra attention has got me blushing non-stop.

First I want to thank NiaSays for mentioning me in her vlog. It was insane watching her usual ramblings on youTube and all of a sudden she's talking about how amazing my blog is! I was like WHAT, NO WAY...rewind, replay! So that was pretty cool. You can check that video out here.

I'm still in awe about the whole Teen Vogue thing too! I can spill the beans now...I'm going to be joining their Blogger Boutique which includes...hosting events all over the country/my hometown, appear on the pages of Teen Vogue mag and work with some of the sponsors of T.V.

I almost cried people, CRIED!

My mind is blown but wait there's one more thing...I'm going to be on a Bershka tee! They're an awesome company in Spain that asked to buy my prints a few months ago. They also work with Zara so I'm hoping to see it there too, FINGERS CROSSED! I'm going to blab about that more in my next post for sure.

Wow shit is gettin' crazy over here at VV! Being the nonchalant bitch that I am, Mama's actually getting uber excited for things to come in 2012. I just have no words to truly explain how I feel. 

THANK YOU for all your support, blogging is the best decision I've EVER made!

BEFORE AND AFTER...

Romwe denim leather two tone blouse with customized spikes by me

 Call me crazy but I'm OBSESSED with my own shirt! Like the other day at a coffee shop I caught a glimpse of myself, through a crowd of people, in the mirror and thought it was someone else wearing it. I was like WTF and was about to go over there, beat that bitch up and ask her "Where did you get MY shirt, you slore?" Then I realized it was just little ole me, hehe!!

Added spikes to make you holla! It just felt so right as soon as I ripped open the package, my brain went SPIKES! Now it's a trio not to be fucked with...denim, leather and spikes, YIKES!!

Love it?

BLACK HOLE SUN

vintage purple calico faux fur coat, AA stripe tee/slim maxi skirt c/o American Apparel, vintage cross necklaces, Lulu's triple platform buckle wedges w/ customized studs, vintage leather backpack purse and DIY spike leather bracelet

If Grimace and the Cookie Monster had a baby, it would be my fucking coat. It's like the perfect raver goth grunge club kid stoner coat. I was scared there was going to be a hit of acid or a tab of ex left in the pockets, lol!

Love it though...you?

Anywho thanks for the advice and the words of encouragement on my last post. I almost signed with an agency a few months ago but it just didn't feel right. I wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy. My dream is to sign with DBA...ugh one day!

NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON'T...

vintage white leather mini skirt, Romwe asymmetrical sheer tee/spike leather cuff, vintage leather biker jacket, vintage aztec geometric tote bag, Target socks, Mad Lady chain cuff, Nasty Gal JC Tardy boots with customized spikes/studs, Beginning Boutique cage ring, vintage cross necklace, random rings and DIY spikes leather cuff

Ugh I love anything that looks like something totally different at another angle or from the opposite side. It's like a fucking game of peekaboo, haha! 

You all know that leather is my shit right now so I was soooooo stoked when I found this classic white mini! And it was in my size which is extremely rare in the thrifting world. Leather is always 2 sizes too big for me. Must have been my lucky day.

 I added the tote for a little punch of pattern and color...love it?

Okay so there was a tragedy last night...my tripod broke, booooooooooooo. So let's all take a moment of silence for old Trip. He's severely damaged and being held up with a wrench at the moment, lol! TRIIIIIIIIPPPPPP, DON'T DIE ON ME BUDDY!!

a little D-I-Y

It's been cold as fudge so I've been DIYing my ass off! 
I bought the sweater last year from shoptoast but I felt it needed a makeover..you know a little more 2012.
So I did what I do best and I dipped that shit!! Beyond amazed on how it turned out and I love the color fade in the middle...YUM! Plus I saved myself a couple of hundred bucks since they're going for a fortune online, sooooooo yay me!

Now the gloves are just beyond simple. Go to Walgreen's, Rite Aid, Duane Reade's...whateves and buy you some cheap black gloves. Cut off the fingers halfway and add spike/studs. Fingerless gloves are already badass so I just wanted add that extra wtf, hehe!

Hope you love?

PEACE LOVE & VINTAGE

(everything thrifted from head to toe)

vintage sweater poncho cape, vintage customized southwestern tribal crop tee, vintage southwestern Moroccan fringe bag, Target knit socks, vintage customized Frye ankle boots, turquoise cross necklace from Darine, Mad Lady turquoise tribal cuff, elephant head necklace, vintage bangles and random rings

 So I majority of the day I was wearing just the tee, shorts and yada yada yada. Then I decided to go the Guild Shop by my house which is like a mecca for old broads and antiques. I went to see if any of the overly priced crap I've been secretly stalking have been marked down yet, since the prices go down every month. In the corner of my eye I thought I caught a glimpse of an angel in their clothes section! I was like what the? I don't never really look through the clothes there since I rarely find anything cool. 

But low and behold as I'm walking over I see the poncho of MY DREAMS!! Before I even looked at it I checked the price cause the shit there is expensive...only $4.50, mint condition, SOLD!

When I got home the poncho had the WORST FIT EVER, like booooooooo!! It literally ate me alive and made me look kinda homely. So I did what I do best and I cut that mofo right down the center seam and BOOSH a fucking cardi sweater cape that would have cost you a fortune online!

So next time you see a poncho cape that fits you all the wrong way...cut that bitch down the middle for a new look! 

I added it to my original outfit to make one big southwestern clusterfuck but I LOVE IT!!

P.S. And I promise my next post will be about the shoes, mkay!
