There's an epidemic going on in my closet and it seems to be multiplying everyday. I'm addicted to poncho capes and leather with fringe and southwestern ethnic prints!! The only way to stop them is to wear them... HELP ME!!

And don't forget about the $80 Romwe giveaway!! Click here to enter!

IT'S NOT SO SIMPLE...

vintage leather moto jacket, Romwe leather patches sweater, vintage sheer sleeveless blouse, vintage leather shorties, old beanie,  Nasty Gal JC Tardy boots with customized spikes/studs by me, vintage leather backpack purse, vintage cross necklaces, Beginning Boutique cage ring, Mad Lady tribal ring and Target socks

Ugh I fucking love Romwe, they always have the coolest shit without breaking the bank! I always find myself begging my hubbie to buy me stuff...like this sweater, hehe.  The pleather patches were just hypnotizing me through the screen, causing me to go into begging mode. I just needed it in my life, you know! Fudge.

So I was stoked when Romwe asked me to do a giveaway of $80 to 2 of my lovely readers!! Yays.

Here's the rules:

1. You must be following VintageVirgin cause this is exclusively for my readers, DUH! So just scroll right up to the top and click follow. 

2.  Next go to Romwe.com and sign up for an account. You're going to need it to collect those winnings.

3. Once you're done pop back over to VintageVirgin and leave me your email address in my comment box under this post only. 

Sounds easy right? 

The two winners will be chosen at random on Monday, November 21, so you have 2 weeks to enter. Good luck cause you can buy a whole lot with 80 bucks on Romwe, trust me!!

Okay on another note, let's talk shoes...

They were quite easy to make. All you need is Jeffrey Campbell Tardy boots (I got my from Nasty Gal for $99 on sale), textured rubberized spray which can be found at your local hardware store exacto knife and spikes/studs from Spikes and Leather on eBay.

First you spray the shoes evenly with 2 coats and allow to dry overnight. Do not over spray, it has a sand paper like texture so the more you spray the more it clumps up.

Next place studs anywhere of your chose. I picked the back of the shoe for a cool effect kinda like the spiked Litas. The studs are 3/4 double prong and the spikes are 1/2 with screw on backs. I also used an exacto knife and power drill to make the holes. Now that's the hard part, whew.

Finally go back through and touch up any chipped paint along the edges and then you're done and done, son!

It doesn't require a lot of skills, just BALLS cause you could be fucking up a pair of JCs. Get a friend to help you and mark before you cut or drill!

I'M ON THE CASE...

(everything thrifted from head to toe except shoes)

vintage double breasted mini trench coat, vintage Smokey the Bear hat, vintage Victorian briefcase bag, Target socks, Forever 21 faux suede clogs, vintage bangles/watch, Mad Lady tribal cuff, random rings and vintage belt

You know how I get all warm and tingly inside when I think of trench coats especially vintage trench coats!! So when I found this one I literally exploded all over the thrift store...blood and guts EVERYWHERE, haha! I was over the moon cause it was my size but when I unbuttoned it, the tag said Jessica....SOLD! I was halfway to the register at that point. The fit was soooooo perfect and I didn't even have to rip out the shoulder pads, which is extremely rare in vintage clothes. 

I wore it as a dress since I've been hunting down one online for like ever and it's enough fabric to cover my ass and flaunt my best asset...hello, as if you didn't know, MY LEEEEGS!

Since the coat was fucking awesome I thought the briefcase bag was a given. The details on this bag is BEYOND INSANE, I love that the people are padded so it's kinda 3-D! I don't know if you can see it but in person it's unreal. 

Anywho, love this look, don't you?

I'm still sick, booooooooooooo! I went to the doctor's twice and all they keep giving me are the antibiotics I've been taking since I was a kid. Seriously is there any other antibiotics out there that's not chalky bubble gum syrup? It's yummy but I feel I should give it to my son.
I hate being sick cause I always lose at least 5 lbs...I already feel like I've lost my ass, noooooooooooo!
My problem is I like to do EVERYTHING as if nothing's wrong because I'm tough as fuck, stubborn and delusional. Well this fucking cold from hell is kicking my ass, tear!!
Anywho gotta go and get my nose drained today...sounds like a BLAST, I know!!
LOVE YOU ALL and THANK YOU Cobrasnake for all the vintage goodies! So yummy!

vintage candy stripe bellbottom trousers, Kaarme Concepts Snakerider tee, DIY long fringe vest, leopard headband, vintage crochet bag with customized fringe, Gee Wa Wa booties from Spanish Moss, H&M round sunnies, Forever 21 ivory cross necklace and vintage cross necklace/bangles

The perks of blogging(at least for me) is getting to know other bloggers who love what I love! Every now then you get to meet some rad Mamas too. One of my "Blogger Mommies" I love is Hal from Halcoholic. She shows that you can still be fashionable and achieve your dreams after spitting out a kid.

Can't you see us pushing stroller together??  Lol!

Thanks Mama for the awesome tees!! My son and his colleagues thought the artwork was FRIGGIN RAD!!

Usually around this time of year I'm talking mad shit about the weather but it's been surprisingly AH-MAZING! Like it's fucking 60 degrees in the morning, Mama had to put on a sweater, burrrrrrrr bitch! And what a cute sweater indeed?? Yep it's part of my WTF vintage collection! I'm pretty sure that's all my clothes now that I think about it.

So I hate this week in September as a blogger cause I never get to go to Fashion Week, boooooooooo. Opening my emails are the most depressing thing ever...invite after invite to all these AWESOME parties and events. Just boils my butter, ugh! It's not even about the designers and all that other crap that comes with it, I'm more about getting to meet and know other bloggers in this insane bloggerverse! And my readers of course, hehe!! FUUUUUUUCK, all I can say is one day and keep it moving!!

Anywho, loooove all of you!

WOKE UP SCREAMING FUCK THE WORLD, okay enough with the Tupac references!!

I just wanted to thank all my lovely readers for spreading the word about VV! Like this past week has been INSANE!! We got mofo coming out the woodwork and my daily hits have doubled. I'm overly excited if you ask me!! Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my vintage heart!
