My camera is broken. :(
Hey guys, I'm about to leave for the weekend but I wanted to let you know that I didn't disappear or anything. ;) The camera I've been using no longer works! I have a couple other ones, but the quality is not nearly as good. I'll try and get this sorted out ASAP, but in the mean time I'll continue to post - either without photos, or slightly lower quality ones that won't be posted to lookbook, etc. Hopefully I can get this figured out within the week.
Thanks everyone :)

Gypsies Don't Fly Planes.
Headscarf (vintage)
Army Jacket (Clio)
Sweater (H&M)
Planner (Hato Hasi)
Shorts (Bongo, cutoffs)
Creepers (Demonia)
Okay, so remember when I mentioned my "Inner Gypsy Fighter Pilot" a week or so ago? Well, there you have it. ;) This photo is actually from a couple days after that post; I just never got around to putting it up, and figured it was better to post it later anyway.
This beige sweater is still one of my favorite things ever - the way it fits is definitely a little strange and takes getting used to, but it's very flattering on tall, thin builds. (It's like an anti-dolman sleeve, ahaha) And as I've mentioned a few times before, I got a big box of vintage scarves/hair accessories from my grandmother when I started growing out my pixie crop haircut, which is where the scarf is from.
I'm still tweaking around with my layout, but it'll be very user friendly once it's all finished and clean, so stay tuned and thanks for listening. ;)

Just cupcakes.
I had a really busy, long day and didn't get a chance to take an outfit photo. :( I mentioned I'd get pictures of my cupcakes on my last post, and while the ones I baked last night were plain old chocolate with vanilla frosting, I like to keep my word. ;)
I was just messing around with piping the frosting to see if I could come up with something cute for Valentine's day. Those are supposed to be hearts (hahaha) and the bottom one is just some sort of cross hatch pattern.
I'll get an outfit post tomorrow; stay tuned and see you next time. :)

2/6/12: A Wallflower Punch Talks to Judy
blazer/cardigan (GAP)
Sunglasses (Vintage, Liz Claiborne)
Scissor Necklace (CosmoProf)
Blue Beanie (Secondhand)
Platform Boots (Goodwill)
I didn't even realize this until I looked at the photos, but I kinda look like Judy from that old school "Doug" cartoon, hahaha.
So today was Monday - and although I like Mondays, it was pretty hectic. I'm off to bake vegan cupcakes now, so I'll definitely take photos and post them up ASAP! Maybe I'll even include a recipe. ;)

2/5/12: Pastels, Neon, and Superbowl Sunday.
knitted beanie (Forever 21)
rhinestone heart necklace (Lia Sophia)
bustier dress (Forever 21)
Vintage Abercrombie and Fitch Denim Jacket
Creepers (Demonia)
It was so nice out today, so I had to bring out this edgy sundress from F21. I've mentioned before that I don't like wearing pastels because they wash me out, but against black and my signature denim jacket, I find that they can actually be very flattering!
I've procrastinated on this post just a bit because I've been home for a few hours now, but I did want to make a quick special announcement - My blog has officially reached 50 followers via Bloglovin and Google Friend Connect! Thanks guys, you rock! :) Also, I've officially reached 500+ fans on Lookbook! Yayyy :D
These might not seem like huge numbers to some of you, but to me they're major milestones. :) I appreciate all of my fans and followers, and I admit that I haven't been as attentive to you guys as I usually am. There's a ton of stuff going on in my life right now and I'm super busy, but I'll try and make it up to you, I promise. ;)
On that note, I've recently put some work into creating new graphics on the right sidebar, which all link to my profiles on various social networking sites. So, if you would follow/fan/check them out, I'd super appreciate it!
Thanks guys, I'll be doing a lot more graphic constructing this week, so stay tuned - that's all for now. :)

2/3/12: I Fought the War, but the War Won.
beanie (Forever 21)
rose quartz pendant (from mi madre)
cardigan (GAP)
velvet boots (Dr. Marten)
Do I look tired? Because I'm tired.
Also, I had to stop myself from calling this "Anarchy and and Fitch", har har har.
It's been a long week, and I'm excited to see the semi-long-distance boyfriend again tonight! Maybe I'll finish the drawing I started last week. ;)
So, this skirt is actually from last summer's clothes, but none of the local secondhand shops wanted to take it for some reason. It's been a long time since I've worn a maxi skirt, so I figured I'd give it a go. Honestly, this is a pretty lazy comfy outfit for me - and my outfits are usually that way to begin with!
Anyways, I'm sort of caught up (I've got to pack for the weekend!) but I also wanted to note that I've officially been growing my pixie out for a year. :) Unfortunately, I've got the "dog ears" thing going on with my bangs, and it looks awful. It's kind of funny, though; not sure if you've ever grown out a pixie cut, but it's a process that involves a lot of laughing and crying.
I figured I'd throw some photos up for you guys, because I just started this blog so you have no idea what types of crazy things I've done with my hair. :)
A little bit before the pixie cut:
After the haircut: Silver with white highlights.

And then I coloured it green:
Yeahh. but anyways, I definitely prefer the way it is now. ;)
that's all for now!

Charoite and Heather Gray
Heart Necklace (Lia Sophia)
Charoite Pendant (a gift from my mom)
Heather Gray Skirt (F21)
Platform Mary Janes (secondhand)
So as you might've read on my Twitter, I found a bunch of my old jewelry while doing some early spring cleaning yesterday; I'm so excited to start wearing it all again! The two necklaces here (as well as a couple of other things I'll bring out eventually) were hiding in an old Franco Sarto bag under my bed. I had no idea the bag was there in the first place!
Also, I was going to wear my brown boots but they looked a bit off; then I remembered that my poor maryjanes had been collecting dust in the back of my closet, so I broke those out too. Feelin' pretty fly, if I do say so myself. ;)
Anyway, I took my own photos today, because my brother (who usually takes them) wasn't available. I think I like the way they turned out, although I wish my camera would focus properly for me! When I do them myself, I usually end up getting more creative shots - however, it also usually takes much longer, and unfortunately I don't always have time.
The triangle Charoite pendant is one of two gemstone pendants that were gifts from my mother. Growing up, I learned a lot of metaphysical philosophy because my mom is pretty big into Astrology, Wicca and New Age Culture. Charoite is primarily a healing gemstone. At the time, I was going through a lot of pain in my life, so when my mother gave me the pendant (along with a bit of information on it) I was very thankful. I'm not as superstitious as she is, but I like to believe that it helps me in times of need. :)
Also, this stone promotes creativity, confidence, and self expression - totally relevent to fashion! That, and the fact that it's such a gorgeous lavender colour that you could probably wear with anything.
According to Astrobix:
Firstly, it heals the person’s body and mind and supplies it with more energy thereafter. Secondly, it is the right gemstone for developing self-expression. Thirdly, it inspires the person to change and gives the ability to come out of fear.
Fourthly, it develops the call of the soul of that individual. Fifthly, if you are surrounded by compulsion and eagerness then this gemstone helps to solve them. Sixthly, it helps to open up the spiritual expression of the individual and controls the thoughts. Seventhly, in case you get too tired, this gemstone fills you with energy and helps you to keep on going and lastly, it keeps you away from negative energies and keeps your environment pure and healthy.
I'm off to make dinner now, hope you enjoyed my post and remember to add me on my new Twitter!
xoxo, Clovebud.
