It's my blog party and I'll DIE if I want to!! Yeah let's hope not, hehe!!
Someone's gotta case of the "Terrible Twos", right now. I cannot believe 2 years ago I went balls to the wall and just started a blog...I would have never guess it would have been this successful. Thank you so much for all the love and support you have been sending my way! So much cool shit is happening because of you guys and I am sooooo thankful for it. No seriously, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU from the bottom of my vintage heart!!

So raise you cupcakes in the air and let's toast to another AWESOME year of vintage craziness!

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!

SPARKLES AND FADES

(everything thrifted from head to toe except shoes)

vintage elephant tree art deco top, vintage sequin stripe miniskirt, vintage grandma cardi, vintage aztec clutch, Solestruck Jeffrey Campbell Benched cutout plats, vintage Hand of Fatima necklace, vintage bangles/watch, Mad Lady stone ring and peace cuff, Forever 21 ring and white socks

Ugh finally got to edit these pics. I've been having the "I just got a new laptop nightmare!" You know what I'm talking about? My old lappy was only 2 years old but compared to my new one it's like a bagillion years old! 

First off the screen was white bright and made my blog look extremely different so that took some getting used to. Adjustments left and right, downloading software...BORING! Then Joel thought it would be "AWESOME" to update my Photoshop too. It took me FOREVER to learn PS8 so PS10/Lightroom 3 threw for a loop! I think I cried for 2 days straight.

Overall I am very thankful for all this, trust me I'm nooooo whiny bitch, lol! But it can be very overwhelming when you're trying to run a blog. Especially since technology is not your friend!

I'm a perfectionist when it comes to the old bloggie blog...SHOCKING!

Anywho you remember when I was rambling about all the cool shit that's about to happen? Well I can give you one clue and it involves Teen Vogue! How ironic?? Since I'm old enough to be you're mom, lol! But I am uber excited and hope it jumps off soon so I can share everything with you!

It's going to be a blog experience of a lifetime and I can't wait to show you my POV in how blogging collides with fashion!

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!

kiss kiss,

PLAID IS RAD

vintage plaid cape c/o Cobrasnake, thrifted AA ballet dress, H&M heart garter tights(thanks D), vintage red hat, vintage leather backpack purse, Lulu's triple stacked wedges with customized studs, Beginning Boutique cage ring, Mad Lady chain cuff, DIY spike leather cuff, Romwe spike cuff bracelet, vintage cross necklace/rosary and random rings

The weather has been complete and utter shit lately! Like overcast city followed by rain and a cold front...that last like a couple of hours then back to sunshine town, boooooooooo! So over it.

I may be doing pics inside the house the next couple of days. I'm super scared of getting sick again. 

Anywho I've been uber busy and beginning to understand why you need an agent in this crazy blog world. You get offered opportunities left and right but you have no idea on how to handle the business side of blogging. You don't know if you're getting fucked and signing your life away. Thank Satan I've been staying true to myself and making good decisions on my own but somedays I need help.

Are there any bloggers/readers out there who have an agency? Can you still make all your own decisions? I really don't wanna be someone's bitch or puppet! Let me know.

Don't worry I'm not about to become some douchebag dipped in all designer duds and take you on all my boring adventures to stores I can't really afford and feel uncomfortable in. I'm still going to be me...VV! I just wanna show you that you don't always have to go that route.

Thanks for all the support, I couldn't do it without.

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!!

BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE...

vintage suede leather crochet fringe vest, thrifted sweater dress, vintage green hat, Zara Chelsea boots, vintage gold chevron sequins clutch, vintage hand of Fatima necklace, Target tights, Forever21 LOVE ring, vintage gold bangles/watch and random heart/rose rings

It's been like 50 degrees out which is fucking cold for a Texan, especially a boney one, so I decided to take pics in my favorite part of the house. "The library" where I draw a lot of inspiration and a safe haven for all Joel's european photo books, Purple and ID magazines. 

One thing I love about my hubbie is that he secretly loves fashion and clothes just as much as I do! (He's waaaaay more advanced though and likes hardcore european designers.)

Like the other day I was talking about how rad Abbey Lee dresses and he goes, "I know she has the best personal style in the industry right now!" I don't know about you but that's sex talk to me, lol!!

Speaking of his amazing fashion sense...he got me these lovely Chelsea boots from Zara that I've been drooling over for weeks! Thanks boo and THANKS to all my readers. I know it's a little late but I can't believe I have 3000+ people cheering me on. It's INSANE and I have to pinch myself everyday! Me and my vintage is slowly paving a way in the blog world...FUCK YEAH!!

(insert NIRVANA song here dude)

Romwe two tone leather trench moto jacket/zipper cuff, vintage Pendleton plaid flannel, H&M Nirvana tank, Zara mullet chiffon skirt, old beanie, vintage leather backpack purse, vintage cross necklaces, Beginning Boutique cage ring, customized spikes/studs Jeffrey Campbell Tardy boots and random rings

Grunge ain't dead cause it's still alive in my clothes, hehe!! 

Anywho since I've been blogging I feel like my hubbie buys me more clothes that's more his style, simple minimalist chic, which I love on him but my style is more all over the place. Oh my gawd could you imagine if we had the same style, sounds cute but in real life we would clash...opposites attract, okay! I'm not going to lie but I do love my hubbie in a tailored business suit, damn...so hot!

Okay enough of me drooling over my man and back to what I was getting at. He bought me this lovely mullet skirt from Zara, worn alone it's a little too girly for me but once I grunged that shit up...it's kinda perfect! Thanks lover!

 Oh and before I go, thanks to everyone who entered the Romwe $80 for 2 giveaway! If you haven't entered yet, check it out here. Ends November 21st!
