Cupcakes, Sparkles, and Retro Whimsy

Not all that glitters is gold...
but if it glitters, you will probably find it here. Welcome to my little world of sparkly, crafty whatsits and whimsical miscellany. Here, you can always find me all dolled up with nowhere to go.
My love and I have finally graduated! Freeeedom!

I made a minor alteration to this dress for graduation by hacking off the sleeves and turning them into a bow! Much more festive.

This summer I have decided to be frugal-ish and repurpose clothing with potential.

Goodwill find #1: The Mumu - $6

After about a week and a half of sewing by hand in my spare time, I now have a beachy sundress. Voila!

The boyfriend and I got to meet Iron Man after the movie premiere last night! Wish he’d had time to sign our posters, but the guy had a world to save. ;)

This is the main reason for my general annoyance with lack of size regulation in the fashion industry…


men’s pants are labeled by waist and inseam measurement. women’s pants are labeled by voodoo. even though i do not buy women’s pants, i can recognize this as objectively dumb.


THE NOTES ON THIS


because i can’t stress this enough. this is why i don’t let the numbers get to me. as jumpingjacktrash so eloquently said “women’s pants are labeled by voodoo.” 

BUT THISTHISTHISTHISTHIS

It’s so true! I wear anywhere between a 1 and 9!
“Women’s pants are labeled by voodoo.” I die.

I’m wearing flipflops to school tomorrow (first of May, that means it’s open toe shoe season as far as I’m concerned!), so I had to make sure my pedicure matched my manicure. My Iron Manicure, of course.

Adding a gold glitter topcoat was a good decision!

Ermg I am so doing this Saturday. Iron Manicure…I die. <3
