Do it, do the hustle.
Alright. In the spirit of bringing in the new year, I want to construct a customary list of some of the things I want to achieve in 2012. Goals, resolutions, DIYs...you get the gist. And I think if I post it here, I'm going to have to follow through (for the two people who read my blog). Here goes... in no particular order.
2. Roadtrip to New Mexico
3. Dust off my pliers and make some banging jewelry
4. Read three books a month
5. Make a book strap
6. Dip my toes in the pond of photography for play
7. Take better care of my blog
8. Learn to play the uke
9. Construct a book lamp
10. Write more letters to my loved ones
11. Make this amazing chucky rug
12. Cut myself some slack.
Mmmk, that's all folks.

Style Crush #5: Letty
Okay, this is VERY very (very) embarrassing, but I recently rewatched Fast and the Furious (yes, the one with Vin Diesel). Everything about this movie is pure cheese. Not the good tasting cheese either. Processed cheese more like. But anyway I was admiring Michelle Rodriguez's character's look, not the particular outfits (as the outfits themselves are too bad-90's) but the concept. I wanted to make a GTL but with a modern twist-- please don't judge me too harshly. I know this movie sUx0Rz!1
1. Nude Tie Crop Top from Top Shop $100 2. One Hundred and Thirty Piece Tool Kit by Apollo Precision Tools $60 3. Lace detail Tank Top from H&M $5.95 4. Laser Cut Suede Shorts from Top Shop $165 5. Dr. Marten's Leather Lace-Up Boots $160 6. Aviator Sunglasses from Ray Ban $70 7. Leather Wrap Bracelet from Marc by Marc Jacobs $100 8. Dog Tag Necklace from Diesel $80 9. Detailed Black Leather Belt from Christian Dior (homme) $500 10. Skinny Black Leather Pants from Zadig & Voltaire $770

Because It's Where You Catch Your Z's
I am in the midst of pimping my bedroom, so I've been collecting many, many inspirational pictures some of which I am posting here. Bedrooms are so important. It's where you sleep, get ready for the day, relax, make love, etc. So essentially it needs to be a room you love to be in. This is my project. I am going to make my bedroom somewhere I love to be. As of right now, the walls are plain white, we have ugly brown renter's carpet in there too. I would like to post photographs of the progress of the makeover, but for now, inspiration:

Style Crush #4: Mallory Knox
I recently saw the film Natural Born Killers on a whim because my boyfriend bought it on video at a thrift store. The movie itself is a satirical dark comedy that follows two fictional mass murderers across the united states and the frenzy that ensues. If you haven't seen it, go do yourself a favor. Do note that the movie has strong tones and imagery while making a statement on today's society.
....but I digress; the outfits, Juliette Lewis' character, Mallory Knox wears throughout most of the first half of the movie are cute and totally relevant to today's trending styles. I hope I'm not the only one who thinks this. I love that indigenous, Americana circa 1960's look Juliette Lewis pulls off effortlessly. Although, since this was made in 1994, her hair (when she's not wearing her wig) is shutter-worthy.
Get the look:
1. Tribal Earrings from Forever 21 $6 2. Bugs Paisley Bandana from Eastern Mountain Sports $12 3. Red Peg Leg Trousers from Topshop $58 4. Leather Belt from H&M $10 5. Tibetan Snake Silver Ring from Hinky Import $25 6. Roderick Tenorio Silver Ring $57 7.Billy Buck Jacket from Crows Nest Trading Co. $420 8. Crochet String Bikini Top by Rampage $40 9. Lipstick by M.A.C. in Lady Bug $15
