Sorry for the lack of posts. I've been working extra hours while I get situated. I am loving the new job, though. On a related note, my top 5 inspirational fictional characters:

1. Harry Dresden

Bell Sleeves

can we bring the big sleeves back?

sales!

Sale season is pretty much over these days. But a few things are still priced to MOVE MOVE MOVE online. I got most of these at Dolls Kill, but these brands are kind of everywhere and they're all on sale here there everywhere. Dolls Kill is pretty friendly to Polyvore.

First up, a tumblr-core trend that started a few months back: cuss words. I had a friend who worked a merch table at a few metal shows all across the country and I asked her which t-shirts sold the best. Answer: the ones with cuss words. Yours, now on sale. hopefully on sale, never to return. lol i wish.

7 deadly sins

Well, the hangover's finally gone away after 8 hours of drinking on Sunday. Good decisions there, considering the first day of my new job was this Monday--and I actually had to be there at 9. 

I'm back!

Sorry for the lack of posts. I'm back from Florida! Here's a few instagram pictures of my trip (I'm axp259 if anyone wants to follow). Normal on-topic blogging will resume after this post!! We went to some of the everglade and wetland parks and also took a trip down to Key West. The drive to Key West, as you may know, has one of the longest bridges in the world, the Seven Mile Bridge. The bridge, incredibly, is also almost sea level. Really an amazing drive.

yep a gator!

Packing for Florida!

So I'm leaving for Florida in a few days to visit my dad. He lives in a retirement community not too far from the Everglades. I'll be there for about 7 days and am really looking forward to it, especially after all these cold days. When I travel, I like to match the local colors...greys for Nantucket, browns and oranges for leaf-peeping in Vermont, lame cruise wear for cruises. So... I've basically got to match my outfits to this

#challenge 15: advice for baby bats?

Read about the challenge here

Baby bats! Lol this term makes me giggle. I know a lot of people hate it, but I think it's adorable. I never grew up with this term...when I was younger we just called those kids posers. Of course we were never new to the whole thing ;)

So, 3 things I wish I was told when I was a "baby bat"

1. Get all the piercings that you want. Really, you can always take them out. Most facial piercings (not ear) vanish to nothing when you take them out. DON'T get tattoos when you're a poser--I mean, "baby bat."

2. Don't start smoking, even when the cool kids are doing it.

3. Disposable income is nice. Spend your money and have fun with it. Unless you're saving for a pair of boots, just spend the $140 you make from your part time job while you go to school and live at home. Go to concerts, shopping, fancy coffee.
