shenanigans and such...






Denim blazer, belt, oxfords, all vintage. Shorts, Gap. Shirt, American Eagle. Bow-tie, Ben Sherman. Watch, UO.

My mom, my cousin, Panda, and I had outdoor wine and cocktails this evening. I took a few pictures of one of my new blazers. It's denim! I think this will be good for the spring/summer. It's super light weight and very fitted. I know I said I was planning an editorial but that hasn't actually materialized yet, haha. I'm hoping to have something more fun for the other blazer. I'll keep you guys updated.

bye sex muffins :)

The Trials of my Life...



Tweed overcoat, tartan shirt, v-neck sweater, oxfords, braided belt and bowtie, all vintage. Khakis, Obey. Watch, UO

I found this coat a few years ago and even though I practically swim in it I bought it anyways. I loved the huge lapels and extended length double breasted look, and the tweed... oh the tweed!

I gave it to my mom after I bought it and she said she'd take in the waist for me so that it fit better. Two years later I find the thing hanging in her closet unaltered and decided to just bring it home, haha. My mother is a busy woman so I can't really blame her lol. Plus it's not like I really need a coat like this living in Florida. I guess I just saw this and wanted it regardless of wether or not I need it, oh shopping haha.

I thought maybe if it had a belt it would work. Then I thought maybe I could add one of my own belts. This might be kind of weird to take off when I got wherever I was going though haha... who knows? What do you guys think?



Added faux croc belt and grey leather duffel, both vintage.

Oh, and here's a close up of the bow-tie. I bought it at the Hell's Kitchen flea market in New York. Isn't it sexual? Umm, I mean dignified lol

I almost wore this today...


Plaid short sleeve button down, bow-tie, loafers, and bag, all vintage. Shorts from the Gap.

So I woke up this morning expecting it to be hot out (just like yesterday) and pick out this dashing little number. I was greatly disheartened when I walked out and froze my little stumpy legs off. I immediately ran back inside and bundled up...thus ruining my lovely outfit :(


J.Crew Cardigan, Target Scarf.

I hate Florida weather!

EDIT: Here's a close up of the tie/shirt. I bought the tie at the Hell's Kitchen flea market when I was in New York this summer. I love how it's so skinny and kind of silvery... it makes it speical, I think!

Look what I bought...




So I went thrifting yesterday with some of my lovers from Urban and I bought these two ties! I love the super skinny paisley tie because it has a very large graphic print and it's such a thin tie. I think the large paisley mixes nicely with the smaller plaid on the shirt.

Now, this other tie is quite a piece of work lol. I'm not really sure when or where I'll wear it but after I saw it I just had to have it in my collection. It kind of reminds me of something an old woman would wear... or a clown. Who knows hopefully I'll find something to wear it to. I'm not really sure if I like it with this shirt but I figured the thing was so ridiculous it didn't really matter what I wore it with haha.

In other news, I realized that my Mickey Avalon outfit was not very practical as I would probably die of a heat stroke if I wore that thing. Then again I've never been very practical when it comes to picking out clothing... like when I insisted on wearing a turtle neck and cardigan to my third grade field trip to Sea World. I sweated the entire time but I totally loved all the pictures haha. I think I'm going to just wear a grungy slouch t-shirt with skinny jeans and vans. We'll see.

Sexual Seduction NYE (and the day after)












Ok, so we took over 70 pictures while Lauren was visiting so I'm only posting a few and I still feel like it's too many (haha). I had so much fun while lauren was visiting and I wish she could move in with me! But alas, I'm moving off to another busted location for medical school and she's moving to new york to be as fabulous as possible! She was only able to stay for two days but we had a blast. All of the pictures are from NYE except for the last one, which was from the day after.

Lauren looked so amazing the entire time she was visiting. I could barely even pay attention to what we were doing because I was too busy salivating over her insane fashion sense! On new years eve we went to the masquerade ball at Square One and we had an amazing time drinking our little hearts out, dancing up a storm, and scoping out the hotties haha. The next night we went to a different club and had an equal amount of fun!

On NYE lauren wore a vintage mink coat, YSL ankle boots (I can't breathe when I look at them), Chanel bag, and I'm not sure about her dress, but isn't it GORGEOUS?! Lauren is the most fashionable person on earth! She's coming for the Mickey Avalon concert, expect another photoshoot!

On NYE I wore my blue velvet blazer, black bow-tie, gray sweater, striped button up, and oxfords (all vintage) along with my Levi's and masquerade mask! Lauren and I met like... the Steven Miesel of Jacksonville who kept taking pictures of our feet... we loved it!

The last photo was taken the day after NYE. I'm wearing a vintage corduroy blazer (with elbow patches!), a childrens uniform shirt from Kohl's (haha), Burberry scarf (that a very sexy lady gave me), and an Alexander Olch tie (xmas gift from Lauren!).

Currently, I am slightly inebriated so I don't know if this all makes sense but I will come back when I'm sober and check it (haha)

bye sex machines

EDIT: The tie was Alexander Olch... IDK where I came up with Herkovitch... maybe it's because I love Russia so much... who knows? I'll do a separate post on this tie at a later date.

New Bow Tie!




My friend who lives in Chicago sent me this super sexual Marc Jacobs bow-tie. When he asked for my address I thought he was just sending out christmas cards or something. Then I got a little package in the mail and when I opened it I was stunned/elated/planning outfits haha.

Here I paired it with a vintage gray Christian Dior shirt. The shirt is actually way too big for me to wear in real life but when I saw it at the thrift store I had to have it. I love the collar and the pleats on the sleeves.

In other news, the Fried Chicken and Champagne event was amazing! I had so much fun and drank my weight in champagne (oops). For some reason lately when I go to parties I've been kind of bored to death but there were so many interesting people here. I loved it! Unfortunately, I drank a little too much and by the end of the night I ended up sitting on the couch reading the hostesses Tom Ford for Gucci book, from what I remember it was amazing. I couldn't really read that much of it though because there were kids all over the place reading Harry Potter and such and we all know the types of ads Mr. Ford favors lol.

Lastly, Lauren visited for New Years and we had the time of our lives (pictures to follow)! She also bought me a super amazing xmas gift that you will be seeing soon!

Bye Lovers!

EDIT:



I realized that you couldn't really see the color of the tie that well in the first pic so I just took this one. Isn't it a great tie? Ughh... the level of clownery is out of control lol.

(I know I have horse teeth don't make fun of me)

My Favorite Christmas Present :)




I got this from a very special friend the other night! I'm obsessed with it! I want to wear it everyday!

Now, I have to make sure I find something equally as impressive for him... let the search begin!

I promise I will post pictures of all my thrift store finds tomorrow! Besides those lovely sunglasses I got a velvet blazer that is so sexual I can't stand it, two ties, and a pocket square. I hope you all like everything!

Happy Holidays Bitches!

Bow-Tie Crush


Skull Bow-Tie, Ralph Lauren


Knit Bow-Tie, Barney's CO-OP

I'm completely obsessed with pretty much any bow-tie I can get my hands on, but for some reason I really REALLY like both of these. Could you Imagine if I wore the skull tie to one of my interviews? I'd die!

Unfortunately for me, neither of these ties are in my $0 recession budget and thus I must remain content with my current bow-tie collection.... unless I find a sweet deal somewhere *sigh*

Here are some pictures of myself and my lover Lauren... I'm wearing my favorite bow-tie here.





I got this tie at Star Struck Vintage when I was visiting Lauren in New York. The store is AMAZING!!

This night I decided to channel Thom Browne by wearing hot pants, oxfords with no socks, and my prized bow-tie. Lauren looks flawless per usual (she's the best dressed person I know). I'd tell you all about her outfit but I think she would have my head.

Ugh I have to go to work now... 6:00pm-1:00am barf
