- I don't like basic tees-- so during work, I poked holes through it with my locker key. I think it looks pretty rad. Now this tee has more to offer. I had to pair it with my self-made-MMM6-knock-off-DIY jeans (hahh). "I got raped by Wolverine/a wolf" was my excuse for today's outfit. I'm not wearing any makeup, too (whoa).

- Work left me beat. I'm tired as fawkk.

- To all the ladies, I'm sure there are days where you're tired & exhausted, or you just want to be left alone. Why is it that men boys just don't get the fuckin' hint? Arggh...

- I finally purchased noiretro.com. Too bad I don't know how to redirect my LJ to that domain name. I've been going in circles with this. It's starting to hurt my head....

Midterms are over! Well, sorta.

After my midterm this morning I went home because my next class would be at 5pm, meaning I would be in school for 7 hours doing nothing, but catching up on work-- & who wants to do that? :P Anyway, I went home & watched TV (woohoo!) Now that I'm (still) home I'm contemplating on whether I should go to class or not, but more than likely I probably won't go only because I'm settled in my PJ's, comfy on my bed, & watching MKA Olsen during their younger years on Full House. I sound so productive today (hahh).

I'm not a fan of jeans. Personally, I don't know how Mimi of Brook & Lyn does it! Not only is she well dressed in jeans, but comfortable as well. Me on the other hand, I feel limited to movement, stiff, & just pure awkwardness when I attire myself in denim jeans. I admit my drawer is full of leggings & stockings-- I don't think I can live without them.

While cleaning out my closet to do my monthly Salvation Army clothing donations, I carelessly noticed my bedhead adorned in my jeans. I had no room for them in my packed drawer or closet, so I thought I would leave them on my headboard to add a finishing touch to its emptiness. Although I don't wear jeans that often, I decided to keep them. I will probably start a project once I find some means of inspiration by going through my files, folders, magazines, & all that junk :).

I did find these though....



Maison Martin Margiela, s/s 2008

So therefore I attempted. But of course, MMM's looks a lot better.


I only did one side because I had cut these 15 minutes before I went to work. I'm still working on them & am trying to pull the fibers & strings out to give it that "rugged" & worn look because I don't want it to look like I obviously had cut them with scissors. I solely think it looks a lot better cut on just one side. I think it plays a good take on nudity without having to reveal it all (LOL). Maybe with another pair of jeans I will try to fully mimic MMM's cut out jeans.

F21 chain & skirt used as top, Chateau lace stockings, Chateau DIY studded & slashed leggings, Chloe wedges, & thrifted belt used as forearm bracelet, & Mika Nakashima as my muse =)

I know it looks a bit Rodarte, but I can't get enough of Mika. As if you don't know that already... :)


I remember about 2 months or so posting these DIY studded slash leggings. I feel horrible for not posting a tutorial on them. Well, it is quite easy. Just take a pair of leggings, a pair of scissors, & snip away :). As for the studs, I just poked them right through. With the assistance of my pliers I bent the back-holds of them to stay onto the leggings. Voila =).

The next thing to get on my shoe list. These would def. be my "super hero/villain" shoes if I were to ever save/destroy the world `xD.

I skipped my first 2 classes this morning-- & today is the second day of school for me, actually. But I do promise to go to my 5pm class though! I know it's an excuse, but the weather is just too raunchy & is making me want to stay in & be (just as) lazy. Not only is it blistering cold, but it is haling/sleeting today & chances of snow too. As if the weather couldn't get any worse, huh? I hear pitter-patter's on my windowsill & it's getting me sleepy. Does this happen to any of you, too?

As I currently await for 4pm to roll around so I can head out to school, I have been stretching these out since they arrived in the mail yesterday......

So, I never got to ask, how was your weekend? Wonderful friends, good times, & stuffing your faces with (junk) food that give you guilty-pleasure-goodness is an awesome weekend for me. I especially love my dinner dates with Vince.

F21 cardigan, Necessary Clothing dress top, F21 shorts, UniQlo stockings, Givenchy booties, F21 jacket, Le Chateau bag, H&M gloves & AA circle scarf

So this was my attire for Friday when I was heading out to meet with the ladies for brunch at Max Brenner. The sunlight coming through the window of my living room looks like a convincing lovely day-- & it actually, sorta, was.. but just with melting snow at being. The weather was so lovely that I didn't even need to wear the gloves or scarf, but decided to do it anyway. You'll never know if you might need it at hand :).




My recent purchase at AA. It is so far my must-have scarf for such weather around this time of the year. It's soo versatile, too! =D

Last night, My brother & I did a mini-DIY project. He was influenced by one of my outfit posts that he wanted to do the same to his jeans. It was actually annoying-sweet/cute doing a DIY project with him, being that he's not the type to do that kind of stuff.

I helped him stud one side of his back pockets, while the other pocket he only placed 3 studs. Than he said he wanted to achieve the "ripped denim look" without having it to look like he did it himself by just taking a pair of scissors & cutting a slash through. As visual as it sounds- yes-- his ass was bent down towards my face (LOL) while I was cutting his jeans & using a mechanical pencil to take out the seams. But it was a sweet & funny moment because all we usually do is talk & shop.. so doing this DIY project was something out of the ordinary & I'm glad he had an awesome time doing it, even though he said his hands were blistering because of the studs :P.

So here is the end result. Well, sorta. I'll take a clearer picture of it when he comes around to it.




He ended up cam-whoring & wore stuff I made for him for this outfit. Sorry the horrible B&W, but the top is a skull necklace from my skeleton key series from my jewelry collection which I made for him & the bottom picture is an idea of how the result of the jeans look like. Like what I said, I'll take a clearer picture asap :).
