Have fun shopping, lovelies!
I Wanna See Your Peacock
I love this Katy Perry song. It’s too hilarious! I just about turned 13 years old and died when I saw her perform. My awesome friend Elaine scored us some free tickets for Katy’s concert filmed for the DVD.
Here’s some bad camera phone pics of that night:

So back to the awesome peacock dress. This was from a fun photo shoot for the online store Tattoo Apparel. The owner Clarissa is super cool and fun! They do shoots monthly so check out their website for info if you want to model. They also have a retail store, Perpetual Vogue in La Habra, CA if you’re local. It’s such a unique shopping experience! So not your typical Forever 21 or Hot Topic chain store.

Who says you can’t wear your swimsuit in winter? Ok, so I didn’t really wear a swimsuit but the dress I’m wearing is from Betsey Johnson’s swim collection. The top of the dress is actually swimsuit material. I made it winter ready…at least California Winter ready by adding tights and a faux leather jacket. And of course my usual shoe studs, pearls, and crystal glitter I can’t live without.
Dress: Betsey Johnson Swim
Faux Leather Jacket: Target
Crystal and Tulle Headband: Haute Republic
Owl Double Ring: Haute Republic
Pears and Ribbon Necklace: Forever 21
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Even if you’re coupled up, in an open relationship, or a sexy single, today is about LOVE for everyone and especially yourself <3 Here’s my take on wearing hearts on Valentine’s Day. If you haven’t heard of Lookbook you should really check it out. It’s super fun and you need another social network time waster, right?
Also, I found this on my car windshield this morning.
With a random kid's cart that said from Baxter and Chuck
Here’s the response I got from my fiance after saying thanks, love words etc. Note: Baxter and Chuck are our cats.
It wasn’t from me. It was from Baxter and Chuck. They wanted to do something nice for you, but I had to drive them to the store and carry the flower and balloon for them since they don’t have thumbs. I’m not sure they picked the best card, but it was their best shot since they can’t read.
Yup, I’ll be marrying that. I guess it’s better than last year’s…
At least eternal love won’t be boring

3-D Valentine Heart Nail Art
Here are two Valentine’s Day manis. The first is by Apocalipstick bassist, Wendy Shadow which she calls “Anti-Valentine’s Day Plaid.” I filmed both in our band studio. The second video is a light pink mani using nail glue to add heart rhinestones and confetti. Have a fun and pretty Valentine’s Day!
And more pics of the band messing around in the studio with pink fuzzy Valentine’s Day Handcuffs:
