Simple summer look. I’m currently packing to leave for my annual Maine beach vacation, and leaving tomorrow so I’ve got my work ahead of me! I’ve also started writing and working on a few new projects so it’s a lot of days of me sitting in front of my laptop in shorts and a tank top. Like this oldie but goodie H&M tank, Forever 21 shorts, and CG flats from Barami.

Went to the mall yesterday with my mum and friend Sabrina. Picked up a few little things whilst I was there (Thanks mom!)
Also new: Fresh ink!

I love tattoos, I love the feeling, the smell of a nice tattoo parlour, the smell every time you lather on some A&D ointment. I love the minute, almost comforting pain and the soothing sounds of a tattoo gun.
YES I only got one last month. But I almost got another, which I’m still planning to do. Actually, I mean, if you want to talk reality, I have about 10 ideas and designs for future tattoos. Someday I will probably end up looking like this (hopefully after a career and I’ve settled down in life and can be a bad a$$ grandma):
Now, while tattoos and piercings and punk rock is all a fun aspect of my life it’s not everything. If you haven’t caught on by now, the world of FASHION is kind of my entire life. I dedicate my education, my work, my play, my free time; it’s all involved in the fashion world somehow. After Best of Bklyn‘s recent post about how she came to run a fashion blog it really got me thinking. How did my start coming into this world begin? From as far back as I can remember I’ve always been picky about what I wear. In kindergarten all I wore was oversize sweaters (I was TINY) and stirrup leggings. Yea, that look worked like three years ago too. When I was applying to college for fashion my essays began with this story, and how I could throw a hissy fit if anything didn’t FEEL comfortable or match perfectly. In high school I was runner up for best dressed; I made my own clothes just to have something fun. I’d intertwine my love of pin-up-y looks and juvenile prints, for example into a tight Elmo skirt or the animal print off the shoulder dress I posted the other day.
I’ve NEVER been one to stick to the trends too closely or wear anything specifically to fit in.
Anyway, getting back to the point of this post. Fashion is MY LIFE. Tattoos are used primarily to represent things of importance in one’s life. I’ve always loved the idea of a coat hanger or safety pin tattoo, probably since I was about 13. I almost got them last month on a particularly grueling day. Sadly, the tattoo parlour I went to was all booked up for the day.
But, I feel the need to get these tattoos. I’ve been scouring for inspiration on location, size, shape, etc, and figured I’d share with you my findings (images via Google search and Tumblr).
Now, I want both, I believe. My first thought was on the out side of my calves, one on each leg, like the image to the right. My other thought was the underside of my forearms, similar to the one of the two safety pins above, though they’d have to be pretty subtle.
Thoughts? Do any of my readers have tattoos? If so, I wanna see them!
okay, end

very little to do with personal style, but everything to do with fashion ❤
I’m so excited, my new Iron Fist zombie chomper swimsuit came in the mail, just in time for my trip up to Maine! Thanks to the help of Jennifer at Style Addiction I was able to find this suit in the perfect sizes without ever having to try it on; yay for getting over my fear of online shopping!
Find this, and other fun monster faces swimsuits (I like the Evil Dead one a bunch as well!) right here. I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of this swimsuit, as well as my others, this week, so I’ll save the zombie face spam for later.
