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!!

That's So Fetch

Finally wore my Fetch beanie today. I decided to pair it with color matching socks and cut out shoes (to show off the socks some more). I love pinks with leopard, especially when its a soft baby pink, so I wore my new leopard skater dress that I randomly picked up at Cotton On yesterday. I'm usually not the biggest Cotton On fan, but you can find decent stuff from time to time, and I was in the mall anyway (getting a free Jamba Juice + hitting up the MAC store). I misplaced my sim card somewhere, and went crazy looking for it today.... obviously I didn't find it; hence the shitty iphone pics. Thank you brilliant app creators for the creating my photoshop backups.

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!

You've Got Mail

While I was up in Shasta I got pretty bored at times, and my weakness is that when I'm bored I like to shop. So I looked through all my favorite online stores, but since I am currently unemployed, there wasn't much to spend.... here is what I picked up.

1. Beauty Forever's Fetch Beanie

2. Lime Crime Lipstick in Airborne Unicorn

3. NastyGal exclusive Half Moon Magic Shades by Le Specs

Back in my "scene kid" days, my fashion/style icons were Audrey Kitching, Hanna Beth and Jeffree Star (who's weren't?). All three still very much around today. Jeffree Star now has his own label, Beauty Forever. I first found this beanie on tumblr, and fell in love with it. Gretchen Wieners knew what she was doing when she tried to make "fetch" happen in the movie Mean Girls, because everyone can quote Regina George: "Gretchen, stop trying to make 'Fetch' happen". When I first wanted to buy it, it was sold out. When surfing through Karmaloop, I found out that they had just gotten it in stick and I was stoked! I will definitely be wearing this beanie tons while still in San Francisco for the summer, because we don't always have the best summers, and then again in New York once fall stars rolling in. It will look great with a pair of back skinnies, a dark purple crop top, and some leather booties.

If you follow me on twitter you would have seen my tweet about wanted lipsticks in all colors of the rainbow. Lime Crime has lipsticks in so many fun vibrant colors, including blue and yellow! I decided just to get this one color first to make sure the quality of the lipstick is okay, plus I've been wanting a nice purple shade for months, but never found the right one. Lime crime lipstick goes on really well, it feels a little oily at first, but then dries and you forget you even have any on. I don't know yet how long it lasts, but I will make sure to let you guys know once I do. So far, I am planning on buying some more of their lipstick colors! Urban Outfitters has them for sale, but are selling out quick, I got this one from Karmaloop, who also sell all colors!

You don't know how many times I have put these babies into my cart without buying them, and finally went for it. I never liked buying sunglasses online, scared that they wouldn't suit my face (returning online purchases is such a hassel, I always think about my purchases to make sure I will like them to avoid it). I have been wanted clear sunglasses ever since I saw the Wildfox Couture bell air frames in clear. I never got them because 1) they are really pricey, and 2) they were sold out everywhere! These guys are amazing though. The bright colored frames are so much fun, and they fit/look amazing on! Also, the price is perfect, $60 sunglasses > $300 sunglasses.

Animal Instinct

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.

Currently Vibing: July

From neon signs, chockers, hair and shoes all the way to Miley Cyrus' new video.... this is my inspiration for the next 31 days.

1. Neon signs. I went on a family trip to the movies to watch Bling Ring, and in the movie "Lindsey Lohan" had a pink neon sign that read "Lindsey" up on her mirror, and now I want one too! So if you don't know what you want to get me for christmas or my 21st birthday, (dont worry its not til February!) you can get me a custom made neon sign that reads "metacakes"!

2. Tattoo Chokers. They have been on my mind for almost a year already. Before I left for college I found my old black one from when I was younger. Now I need to make sure to find it again!!

3. PINK. As you can already tell from my latest outfit posts, I've been diggin' the pink. It's back, and it's back for good!

4. Layers & Prints. I'm always a fan of layering, but am definitely going to try to mix prints more. I know its been going on forever, I just don't own many prints to begin with! That's going to change, so look out!

5. Miley Cyrus. She's been doing it right for awhile now. I always was a fan of hers, but never thought she was very attractive. However, the older she gets the hotter she gets! In addition, her style has been on point lately. Her new music video is clear proof of that. If you haven't seen it yet, something is wrong with you.

6. JuJu Jellies. I always wanted a pair of jelly sandals. When I was little they were all the rage, all my friends had them, but my mother never got them for me! Finally they are back, but always sold out everywhere! Dollskill and Urban Outfitters just got them in stock, I'm getting mine this week, when are you getting yours?

7. Hairspiration. If you read my blog, you knew about me wanting to go blonde, chickening out, and then getting rid of my ombre. You also probably noticed that part of my hair is bleached. Well the plan was to do exactly what is on this picture. Either teal or violet (i got both), now I just need to do a few more lightings, and its ready to go!

8. Antlers. I've been looking around etsy and ebay for a great pair of antlers that I can use as a coat rack. Yes, that means I need a HUGE pair of antlers. Sadly, my cousin just informed me that he tried to buy a aligator skull online, and it never made it through customs.... so it might be harder than I thought to buy a great set of antlers after all.

9. Jeans. I've spent a lot of my summer so far watching the first few seasons of Melrose Place and Beverly Hills, 90210. Now I know that I truly need a pair of high wasted vintage fit pair of jeans in my life. Only problem is I look shit in jeans, so I need to work on that first.

WHAT ARE YOU VIBING ON FOR JULY?
