so much sparkle

Sequins, sequins, sequinsssssss!
The amount of sequined stuff I own has now grown to epic proportions, and I will NEVER RID of this madness. 

Also my roommate was just getting out of bed as I was taking these...

Awkward photos......

So yeah, the bow headband, the skirt and the shoes are all sequined :) It's the best I could do to glam up this total downer of a day. Leaves and snow are not meant to fall at the same time, people! But even worse, Providence weather gods seem to prefer rain over snow, so although it was snowing a bit through the night/early morning, it is now wet and gross and cold and windy and gross. Blegh.

forever 21 skirt, Betsey Johnson tights, forever 21 shoes, Target tank, H&M cardigan, selfmade headband, NYC scarf.

Also check out my newest item on Etsy:
I love this necklace. I made it out of shampoo bottles (of course) and black and white fabric, and neon pink chain, so all in all, it is RADTASTIC and reminds me of Mondo <3

Also, I was featured the other day on Etsy's Fashion newsletter!
And if you haven't yet, LIKE my facebook page! :) Pretty soon there will be exclusive deals and steals for the holiday season up in derrr.

IT HAS BEEN WAY TOO LONG!

WOW. I am the worst blogger ever! I completely left you hanging during my week of monochrome, we haven't discussed the ATROCITY that was the season 8 finale of Project Runway, and you haven't seen my multiple Halloween costumes!

So. To make up, I will throw everything at you at once. Ya know, dodgeball style. Except maybe don't dodge these things, just acknowledge that I threw them at you. Thus forfeiting the game. HAHA YOU LOSE.

FIRSTLY. Remember my week of monochrome? It's been a while, I know. 
See RED & ORANGE YELLOW GREEN & BLUE here.
Well, Wear Purple Day, on October 20, was established to show support for LGBTQ youth. To show them that there are many people who have their backs, and to let them know that it gets better. 

My PURPLE outfit was pretty lame/nothing new, but that was a stressfull week. (As evidenced by my total lack of posting since then).
And I didn't even draw it. Merrrhhh.

ANYWAY. THEN. THE PROJECT RUNWAY SEASON EIGHT FINALE. I DON'T EVEN WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. It's probably the most frustrating thing I can think of right now. (But go Heidi and Tim!)

THEN it was Halloween, but actually in the world of college, HALLOWEEK! If you're unaware of this phenomenon, Halloweek is just an excuse for college students to celebrate (read: drink a lot) Halloween starting Wednesday until Sunday. My Halloweek was more of a Halloweekend - I celebrated from Thursday to Saturday. Three nights of Halloween means THREE (uno, dos, tres) costumes!

NIGHT ONE:
One of my friends dressed as Hugh Heffner, and then there were five of us who dressed as Playboy bunnies. And embarrassing costume, mosdef, but two of the playboy bunnies were guys, and it was so worth it to see them in fishnets and miniskirts. I have photos but I don't think they'd approve of me posting them for all to see. 

But we did make deliciousness in a cauldron!
And of course, candy :)
On Friday night, my friends and I dressed as the cast of Aladdin, and guess who (or should I say what) I was?
 
YEP that's me as the Magic Carpet! :D (and of course, I made it)

On Saturday night, I was a coloring book!
I just wore white tights and a white teeshirt/dress and drew outlines of random cartoon characters, doodles, etc in Sharpie, and wore markers around my neck and had people color me in throughout the night!

The sorta-kinda-fully-colored costume:

PHEW. All caught up? Etsy stuff and outfits to come! And November goals too :)

Happy weekend!

love and right triangles,
april
