Category — Dress Obsessed

HAY YOU GUYS! I just returned from a mini-vacay to beautiful PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA!!! Emi and I took a Thelma and Louise road trip to the desert and stayed at the SUPER COOL Ace Hotel and Swim Club!

In the lobby we were greeted by music playing on a record player(I peeped an Andrews Sisters vinyl!) and what might be the best photobooth I have seen in my life! The pictures come out in an old-school sepia tone and the machine takes credit cards! MOMMA LIKE

We enjoyed some marinated feta and couscous salad at the hotel’s roadside diner, King’s Highway. I’m wearing one of my adorable new hair bows courtesy of Cutie Dynamite! You’ll be able to see a better picture of it later in this Palm Springs Diaries series. Yes “SERIES” because in between our numerous outfits and obsessive photo taking, I wouldn’t be able to fit it all into one post.

A  for Agent Lover but chu know you can call me AL.

On Monday evenings, the hotel offers SISSY BINGO hosted by Linda Fabulous who belts out dirty Broadway ballads. We saw her perform a song which was something like “Who Do You Have To Fuck In Hollywood?” COCHINA!!!! Betty White better watch her back…

A warning…there are some SERIOUS Bingo players in there, notably older ladies and gents who probably attend on the regular. I was the A-hole who yelled out Bingo too early (SAWRE I HAVE NOT PLAYED SINCE MY YOUTH) and got a few death stares from some of the Bingo elite! Luckily their drinks were amazing and cooled down my red cheeks. My favorite was the ‘Desert Facial’ which is made up of muddled cucumber, mint, and pineapple vodka. Dis lush gives it an A ++.

The Ace also lets you ride their bikes around the town. If you guys remember, I have some sad childhood bike trauma but was stoked on attempting to ride for the first time in twenty years! Sadly I wasn’t as successful as I had hoped. Next time will be better once I have a lowrider and I’m not wearing Pollys!

Stay tuned for more of my Palm Springs Diaries!

Just wanted to do a quick photo post from the Tiki party last weekend when we celebrated Nikki’s birfday!

I made the other Nicki this pineapple hat! Here she is with Shaun

More Shaunie because you can never get enough

Mikkay + Mickay and Marlow Show

I ended up wearing my casachanclas! HAAAAAA!!

Me making a hangover face the next day in my current favorite summer dress. Amazing fruit purse no? Emi made it for me! Can’t wait to bring it to Palm Springs in a couple of weeks!

I LOVE SUMMER!!!

I really like this 80′s sherbet tiger dress from the Zac Posen for Target line. It puts me in a happy mood even though we’ve been stuck in January-esque weather in SoCal. Asshole weather. I’M SO OVER YOU BETCH.

NEJUAY, here I am doing ~funny poses~

Do other fashion bloggers pose like this?

What are you crazies doing this weekend? Today I am trying to book a trip to Palm Springs. I will also try to make a pineapple hat and possibly some sort of Carmen Miranda-inspired headpiece for Nikki’s birthday. Wish me luck. I feel like a chicken with its head cut off today. Lemme leave you with this:

And the French version which I like better.

Dressing patriotically is pretty easy for me…because I wear so much red and blue anyway! This is probably due to my forever love of nautical style. It’s my power color combo, PEOPLE! Anyway, I had a good variety of outfits to choose from for our Fourth of July shindig. Make way for a photo heavy post….

Look how CUTE Emi’s hat is! I swears she is a genius hat maker! (She made my lips hat as well as a POPCORN HAT I still have to show you.) Sidebar, do you remember this movie, DICK? INSPIRATION FOR AN INDEPENDENCE DAY OUTFIT!

This bbq marshmallow/banana/choco thing was DELISHIS. Oooh looks heavenly.

THE FEAST OF DELIGHTS

FIYAH

WOOOO PARTY TIME!!!

Hope all of you had a fun Fourth of July!!

This flamingo dress is one of my all-time favorites. I got it a few years ago at H&M when I went to New York for the first time (or possibly second.) Since I love me some pink animals, it’s no surprise the flamingo is one of my most BELOVED creatures. I feel like it is their time to shine. The peacock has been soaking up the spotlight long enough! Flamingos remind me of going to Las Vegas, the Nickkis and Three’s Company. Also pictured are my new heart-print wedges which were on sale for only twelve dollhairs on Amiclub. I just lurked and now they are down to $9.99! I highly recommend them for your summer wedge collection! Wish I got the black ones too before they sold out in my size. BALLS!

Here’s Paperdoll Marie wearing the flamingo dress too!

HAAAAYYYYY! I love all the feedback and retweets and general LUV you guys are giving me on the Bangs post. Some of you have been asking me to do that article for over a year. LONG TIME COMING, but I feel happy to have finally made your wish come true by spilling the secrets of my favorite accessory (besides cleavage or a hot man on my arm.)

ANYHOOT, this is just a lil’ outfit post from this week! SPEAKING OF DOCS, everyone’s been telling me about the Hello Kitty x Doc Martens collab. I actually wrote about them on Lipstick Diaries a couple months ago (via a tip from the lovely Ashe Mischief) pero at the time that was top secret info (big mouf strikes again woops) but now they are all over the internet. What do you guys think of these cutie patootie bewts??? I have about five other supercute designs in my mind so Sanrio & Doc Martens, hollaatchagurl if you need me to consult for another round.

WELCOME TO THE LOVE BOAT

♥ heart buttons added to top from the chola store, Levi’s pinstriped shawts, red patent platforms, Nikki’s hat ♥

Don’t be fooled by these innocent photos of me in a pair of shawts. This was the start of a debaucherous extended weekend celebrating Miss Reyna’s birthday. She shares the same birthday as PRINCE BTW. I am going to go for a world blogging record for most Prince mentions in a non-Prince focused blog. If my calculations are correct, there have been seven entries with some sort of Prince reference in this blog’s lifetime. CLEARLY NOT ENOUGH I SAY. Do you hate me yet? I hope when I reach #20 someone will give me a bronze statue slash bobble head made in Prince’s liking.

Anyway the night MAY have consisted of a certain somebody putting their blog card in a stripper’s bikini and some failed Ouija-board action but most importantly,  I finally visited Sir Staymoist‘s star on the Walk of Fame! BLASPHEMOUS I KNOW! I should have been there to hand him a towel or something when they crowned him. Or washed his feet! Let me be your Mary Magdalene, Staymoist!!! Sadly many of the pictures from later that night were RATED C FOR COCHINA. HEY BLAME STAYMOIST FOR IGNITING THE FIRE WITHIN.

SB (SIDEBAR) a MANY THANKS to everyone on Twitter who helped me locate Stamos’ star when my Googlin’ was giving me the runaround! See Twitter is magick.

Helloooo boos! It’s just another picture of yours truly being ADORABLE!!!!

JUST KIDDING (o)(o)

♥ thrifted dress, Olsenboye bewts, my fave moto jacket ♥

I found this floral babydoll during a thrift session last weekend. It had Hulk status shoulder pads but I took them out so let me know if you need to stuff your bra and I’ll put them in the mail for you STAT. These are the best kind of weekday dresses for me. Not too much revealing work cleave…comfy…casual. I also found this amazing black bomber jacket with a GOLD TIGER on the back. With rhinestone eyes! I’ll take a pic soon.

Mmmm…the weekend is nigh my friends. I have a lot of work to catch up on but some fun times are planned too. PURPLE FUCKING RAIN SCREENING AT THE CEMETERY FOR INSTANCE. AHHHH! I’m so excited! I’m ironing my assless chaps as we speak. I was thinking of wearing a purple coat to the show but I don’t want to be “too obvious” which makes no sense because as you may know, I like to dress in theme every chance I get.  Speaking of PRINCE, I still want this bag. Just wish it came in black too. Love 2 Love U. Whatcha got planned for the three-day weekend?

Your Little Red Corvette,

PS. My Itunes Prince play count from the past year: “Little Red Corvette” is currently at 158 plays. Mariachi El Bronx cover of “I Would Die 4 U” has 110 plays. OBSESSED

Can we talk about these ‘lil black boots for a minute? I’ve been wearing them almost every day since I got them a week ago…from JC PENNEY or “Penney’s” as your gramma likes to call it. I know I am supposed to be looking for a new summer shoe but when I tried these on I suddenly felt like Clarissa Explains It All!

Even though they are pretty simple and non-descript with nothing special going on, they are comfy as fuck and easy to pair with most of my day-to-day outfits. What’s even better is they run big so it feels like I have petite tootsies. And they are still loose! I probably could have worked a 7.5 like Carrie Bradshaw but I didn’t want to push it. Anyway, I have been wearing these suckas with everything. I even found them to be the perfect match for my H&M tiger dress when worn with black tights (You can see it a bit in the Zac Posen post.) I’ve had that tiger dress since fall but every shoe/legging combination I wore with it just didn’t feel right until now. Also could be that the dress is kind of baggy. Anyhoo I digress. Yesterday I had dinner with one of my favorite baklas and when I asked him if he liked the new shoes adorning my hooves, he said “Yes! They remind me of Clarissa Explains It All!” !!!!!!!!!!! PSYCHIC CITY!!!  I love when shit like that happens.  Sidebar, I lurked the name of the shoe and they are actually an Olsen twin brand! Hilarious! You know I am not one of those Mary Kate worshippers but I must give them props for making these perfect stompers.

♥ Target t-shirt, chola store pencil skirt, Rodarte X Target tights, necklace from some store in Venice, $39 Olsenboye bewts (I just checked JcPenney.com and they are sold out ) ♥

Dress from Stop Staring, Betsey Johnson Polly heels.

One time I wore this dress going to Starbucks and some sexy manz gave me a double take, then I gave him a double take and I noticed he had a clerical collar! What is this Marie, THE THORN BIRDS??? IN MY DREAMS…
