Valentinspo

beanie by Dimepice, pullover by Boy London, shoes by Unif

Sometimes you reach a point where you stop being bitter about love and decide to embrace the adorable heart-shaped everything holiday that is Valentine's day. Of course I don't have a date and won't be spending the day or evening with the boy of my dreams (can you hear me Harry Styles?), but I do have a day full of plans I'm actually excited about. So to all my fellow single ladies: Get out of bed.  Put on your favorite pink dress and red lipstick. Buy yourself a bag of candy hearts and a bottle of pink champagne. Turn on or go see a horror movie (ok this might just be my idea of a perfect Valentine's but if you really think about it, it's quite fitting). Celebrate the fact that you don't have someone tying you down (seriously gals, take a closer look at half the people who are in relationships).

-Carving pumpkins with my bean.

-Tate and Violet pumpkin.

-Obsessed with my Dimepiece pullover.

-Violet Harmon for Halloween. Halloween wasn't perfect but it wasn't horrible. Either way I miss it already. (Cardigan & shirt & leggings from Target, dress from Free People)

-It was 'wear your costume to work day' in Ashlee world but I made it more Ashlee appropriate.

-Casting call day at work. (Beanie from Target, crop top from American Apparel, skirt by Unif)

-Last minute photo shoot with Paul Beattie. The photos are for a submission so they probably won't be posted any time soon but I think they'll be worth the wait.

-Peppermint mochas are the best part about holiday time. The 'Gwen' skirt is one of the best purchases I've ever made. (Tank top & skirt by Unif)

I hope everyone's week was perfectly spooky.

Halloweek-end

A review of my week (top + from right to left):

-Thrifting for costumes: Jacket, shirt, & shoes by UNIF + jeans from Urban Outfitters.

-Costume shopping part 2 in my: thrifted crushed velvet dress, beanie from Target, shoes by UNIF
-Rediscovered my Betsey Johnson sweater dress after it spent the last 3 years buried in my closet.

-Selfie at work: Dress by Evil Twin, shoes by UNIF.

-Halloween part 1. I'll be posting more photos from my Saturday night on Halloween. Had to save something for the day of. Cliche prom dress from Forever 21, tiara from Previews, blood harvested from every boy who tried to hit on me that night.

I can't believe the best month of the year is almost over. I've been cherishing every second. I'm going to spend the next 2 days carving pumpkins, watching horror movies, and putting the finishing touches on my second costume.

paranormal ramblings + Evan Peters' butt

Thursday night I went to see Paranormal Activity 4. I have gone to every movie's first showing (except for the first one because it didn't start playing in my city until after it's original release date no judging). It's probably my favorite horror movie franchise and I'm not even sorry about it. I have a thing for ghosts and demons and stuff ok? Also the fact they throw a really funny (jewish?) boy in every movie that I fall in love with. My only complaint is that the 4th movie just wasn't scary enough. I do like how they tied everything in though. If you're a fan of the series then I suggest you go see it but you're not really missing anything that hasn't already been done. Although I'm kind of glad I took the Kinect out of my room last week.

The Vandelles 'Miles Away' Official Music Video

http://grimygoods.com/2012/10/18/video-premiere-the-vandelles-miles-away/

As you may or may not know a couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of working with Claude Cardenas of Stagnant Cult on a video that was to be a part of his 'Daydream' series. Video work had been something I wanted to experiment with for a while so when I was given the opportunity of course I was thrilled. The video was finished and released a week later and I was so happy with the outcome. Anyways the video featured a song called 'Miles Away' by the band The Vandelles. Somehow the band came across the video and loved it so much they decided to make it the official video for 'Miles Away' and it was officially released yesterday! It's really crazy to me that this little video that was basically made for fun turned in to an official music video. You can check out The Vandelles here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Vandelles/111519378305?fref=ts. Make sure to hit like and send them all your love!

♡photo update♡

So ready for the weekend. Spent this week going from red head to pink head. I did a re-bleach and dye last night to get rid of some of the orange left in my bangs and it was a success so new pictures soon. Currently trying to decide on an outfit. I'm so bored with my wardrobe and I always feel like I'm wearing the same thing over and over. Anyways here's an update!

♡hey Lolita hey♡

♡recently: photo update♡

Had a lazy whatever day today. Lots of coffee, bubble gum, and magazines in bed. I was going to make another video for you guys but I wasn't feelin it so expect one tomorrow! Here's something new I plan on doing every week, my week through photos. I figure it's the best way to catch everyone up on what I've been up to! Also I apologize for the lack of updates lately. I've been feeling so uninspired, which is the absolute worst.

Photography by Danny Fung & make up/hair/styling by me

shirt: American Apparel, shorts: Forever 21, belt: Target

A couple shots from the photo shoot I did with Danny Fung on Friday. Danny and I always have a great time shooting together and he is definitely one of my favorite Sacramento photographers. His use of natural light is amazing! Check out more of his work here: www.dannyfungphotography.com! I'll be posting more from our shoot together this week. We're also currently in the process of putting together an underwater mermaid photo shoot which I could not be more thrilled about. Please ignore the massive amount of roots on my head, I'm letting my hair fade/grow out as much as possible before I dye it pink. To be honest though I've always liked the grown out roots look.

my weekend in hell

shirt: Unif/my best friend's closet, flannel & shorts: Urban, belt: Target, sunglasses: Previews (This store in downtown Sacramento that's half costume shop, half thrift store, I always find the best stuff there.) I also had on creepers but I didn't get any full body pictures.

My weekend was super uneventful which is almost never the case. This is what I wore Sunday out to lunch for my best friend's birthday. I have been so excited over those glasses ever since I bought them. Neon and cat eye heaven. Forever channeling Rose McGowan in Doom Generation (which I still haven't watched but am obsessed with her look any way). Me and my two best friends each have this shirt but mine is no longer in my possession. I won't go in to detail as to why I don't have it because it's a really frustrating situation but it's been missing for nearly a year and I miss it. This is one of my favorite shirts ever so whenever my friend lets me borrow his I wear the crap out of it. Which is why I ended up wearing it on Saturday too.
