DIY Sticker Clutch

Who wasn't obsessed with Lisa Frank when they were younger? I know that my entire room was covered with stickers/posters/school supplies etc. And since everything 90's is coming back, obviously Lisa Frank did too. Urban Outfitters did some Lisa Frank t-shirts, UNIF did a  design off them, etc. All this reminiscing got me to go on ebay and buy a Lisa Frank sticker pack.

But now what? I have "over 1000" stickers and nothing to do with them. Then I remembered all the different type of pictures I've seen on tumblr featuring stickers, to see if there was anything not completely wasteful to do with  them.

So I decided to do a clutch. I have been wanted a clear clutch anyway, and thought I could personalize mine from all the others with stickers. Make the mainstream item more me. The clutch I ordered from ebay as well. 

I started by cleaning the surface of the bag, so the stickers stick better. Then I just started putting some of the bigger stickers down at random.

I then added some more big stickers, and words/phrases out of stickers, and surrounded some of them already with smaller stickers.

I kept just putting down smaller stickers around the ones already places, and it created almost islands. I just kept putting down more and more small stickers until there was no spot left. I also had a few even smaller stickers to fill in the awkward gaps. Then it was done!

Here are some close ups.

I was even able to monogram my new clutch! (:

I still need to figure out what kind of top coat I can put over the clutch to ensure that none of my stickers will fall off. I was considering some kind of clear rubber paste type thing or going basic with packaging tape.... I will update this post when it has been figured out!!

Rugrats All Grown Up

Who wasn't a fan of the Rugrats when they were younger? Personally, I've seen every single episode and was then so excited when Rugrats All Grown Up came out! Well thats how I feel today. I wore my new juju jelly sandals for the first time today, and decided to wear it with a children outfit because they are kids shoes in adult sizes. And whats more child-like than overalls? Obviously I am no child though, since I am 5'10, hence the all grown up series of the Rugrats. :P

I spent the day with my cousin. We just wanted to go to the grocery store, but on our walk over it was so nice out we decided to pick up some beers and go to the park. Once we realized we have been there for over 5 hours and that we were both sunburnt, we went to the grocery store and then back home. It was an all around great day, and I got so many compliments on my shoes!

I'm back from my week and a half break up in Mt. Shasta. Did a lot of swimming, eating, and tv watching. SO HAPPY to be back home, and in the city.

Today I decided to wear my Harley dress. Since it doesn't have much shape, I gave myself more definition through the heels and jacket. When I first got the dress I didn't know if I wanted to keep it or not, but people kept telling me they like it and that I should keep it, so I guess I will. Why not right? It's not like my closet hasn't already exploded and expanded to an overflowing dresser and sofa! haha.

Its A Pink Thing

I have really been into pink lately, as you can tell from my recent outfits. But this new hot pink fur coat is just the most amazing thing ever! I bought it at a perfect time too, most of you probably are having hot summer weather, but today it was cold and rainy in San Francisco. The rain is on and off, hence the sweater wrapped around my waist, dont want to get my new fur wet, so if I decide to go outside when its raining I just switch. I do miss the nice weather though, so my mom, my cousin and I are going back up to the Mt. Shasta area on Wednesday. Sun, lakes, rivers for a week will do me some good!

I got these leggings a few months ago, worried about how often Id actually could wear them. So far, its about twice a month max. When they first came in the mail my roommate said they were trashy and should be sent back, that made me want to keep them even more! When I finally wore them for the first time, she looked at me and said, "You know what, they are actually pretty awesome". Obviously it depends on how you style something like these. My tips for how to style these slashed leggings are:

1) never wear them with stilettos

2) dont go midrift free

3) keep it casual

p.s. dont mind me, not wearing any makeup!

Working in a jewelry studio, you can really ever have yours nails done. If you have acrylics they will most likely melt off since you use torches everyday, and even just plain nails with polish, you will need to get redone everyday because you WILL file them off. Thank god for the summer though, I was finally able to go to the nail salon yesterday and get my claws back. I chose a color at random, and went with hot pink; the inspiration of this look.

Last Day of School / Pictureplane Show

Friday was my last day of school for the semester, and to celebrate, my best friend Conny from high school came over and we went out with some of my friends to a Pictureplane show. If you don't know of his music, I recommend you check it out!

For the show, I got to style my friend Conny with my own clothes, which is always a lot of fun, especially when the person you are styling feels comfortable enough to be going out in what they have on. Below is a picture (sorry for the shitty drunk iPhone photos), of the two of us in our outfits.

Conny is wearing:

Top - UNIF

Leggings - Widow

Boots - Dr. Martens

I am wearing:

Top - American Apparel

Skirt - Nastygal

Socks - borrowed from my friend Jessi (green hair)

Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell

Jewelry - handmade & freepeople

Here are a few more photos that we took that night, more to come, once everyone gets their disposables developed. (;
