OOTD #2

I have my Johnny Cash uniform on:

Poncho- TJ MAXX
shirt- old navy
skinny jeans- Old navy
shoes- target
purse- coach
scarf- vintage
earrings- made by me
bracelet- vintage


Okay so I know I sort of turned a new leaf buying different clothes but I must admit I am a sucker for an all black outfit. I love it. I feel its really classic. My family had to go to the lawyers and we all cracked up when we got out of the car and we were all wearing black. We looked like we were going to a funeral. After we got back I made my mom take pictures of me in her backyard with my hipstamatic....



She couldn't figure out how to get my feet in the picture so there was plenty of pics because my mother is technically challenged. The viewfinder on the hipstamatic is pretty annoying.





Me showing my mother how easy is it to get HER feet in the picture. (her in all black too... shocking)



Then my mom tried to get me to do " model" poses so of course I did the complete opposite



I pretended I was Elle Wood from Toddlers and Tiaras. I was busting out all my moves

the invisible wall rest


kiss the boo boo's


ouchie boo boo!

If you've ever seen that show you know what I'm talking about. The funny part is Elle Wood looks like I did as a kid. Except my mother wasn't a freak and dressed me up like a child hooker.

but she did make me put on this GOD awful scarf that one of her bible study ladies gave her. I said " OH LAWD this looks like Pinata puke! This fun fetti scarf is a SIN!" but I gave in a took a picture for her


Have you seen Toddlers and Tiaras??? It make me realize how good I had it as a kid.

FOTD- Face of the day & Shellac review

My outfit was pretty boring today. Just like my day at work. Black cartigan & jeans bleh! Good news is last week I made the most money I have since I've been working at the salon. GO ME!!! So this week most likely will be on the slower side.



I was thinking of posting some pictures of my work I do in the salon. You would think I would remember to take before and after pictures but of course I always forget the befores and so people can't see how fucked up their hair was before and how fabulous I just made them...



On another note I would like to talk about Shellac Its an AMAZING product!!! My nails have never felt stronger and stayed longer then with Shellac. Its pretty much like nail polish but doesn't ever chip. You need a UV lamp to cure it and as of now can only get it done professionally. The manicurist at my salon does my nails. I am HOOKED! I used to wear it with a half moon manicure but this week I just did regular. It last for 2 weeks!!! I am constantly in water and using my hands all day long. OPI also makes one called Axxium that I've also used. It takes a bit longer then Shellac but has a far larger assortment of colors. Personally I only wear classic reds. (big fat surprise!) so thats why I have been using Shellac. I did see that OPI has a gold in the axxium so I might have to try it! Have you ever heard of shellac ? Have you tried it?? What did you think?

OOTD- #1 & ramblings of a girl having a quarter life crisis.

Blouse- Forever 21+
Jeans- Torrid
Belt- Torrid
Shoes- Miz Mooz

Okay so apparently I've been missing out on this whole " Fatshionista" concept. Where "plus size" women take on the world and express themselves through fashion and being happy to be themselves no matter what size. Seriously am I the worst fat girl on earth? Never knew Forever 21 had a plus size section? Been into torrid 2 times my whole life. Didn't know ASOS even existed!!! (if you haven't been to the site check it out. They have some fabulous items for most sizes)

I guess its because I can still shop at a majority of the mainstream stores. Plus I was obsessed with having a retro flare on everything so I was SO PICKY about what I wore and pretty much was a combination of pencil skirts, jeans, cardigans, sheath dresses, black, black and BLACK!


Then I became obsessed with this idea that I was only going to make clothing from vintage patterns and or wear vintage clothes. That sort of is on the back burner for many reasons. The main one being I do hair. I use bleach & color everyday so the idea of ruining something that was expensive & has lasted 50 years with someone else only to be splattered with bleach by day 1 with me is depressing. That and I've been working like crazy so my sewing has taken the back burner, as well as cleaning, doing laundry, making crafts, sleeping, paying attention to my loving boyfriend, roller derby... you get it! BITCH is fucking BUSY!


Which has led me to my quarter life crisis. I turned 25. I feel like I've had the same " look" for years now. I wear red lipstick every day. I needed a change. I went one whole week without wearing it.(anyone who wears red lipstick knows my pain... its my security blanket) I was over my obsession with having this retro look on a day to day basis. Vintage will always be part of my life. I love it. Even when I don't try people still identify me with someone from 50 years ago.

my quarter life crisis is not about my appearance. Mostly about things happening in my life. I'm officially ready to get married. I am not freaked out about the idea. I no longer have this mentality that I am a child trying to be a grown up. I have a budding career and talk of buying a house has been in the air. Its a lot to take in. Now I just need my boyfriend to ask me to marry him! HAHAHAHAHA!

I guess everything is just coming together. I stumbled upon a "fatshion" blog just as I was looking for something a little different. I found out that online shopping is fun and ended up spending $800 in a week on some clothes from forever 21, ASOS, & torrid. I love all my clothes!!! WOO WOO WOO! I'll probably be posting more OOTD's and rambling about being plus size and being totally confident in myself. Little did I know its actually called something!!! Seriously I just crawled from under a rock....

AVOCADOS for the 50 year old.

So what do you buy a man who buys himself EVERYTHING he wants? Only leaving you scrambling 3 days before his birthday? Something you want, DUH!



My parents bought the house my grandpa built when my dad was a teenager. So pretty much they will probably die there. So whats better then buying them Avocado trees! My dad has a fond memory of a giant avocado tree in his backyard when he was a kid. He still talks about it like its the fucking tree of life. I don't know why he hasn't planted one in his backyard he has now. Especially since we all love avocados. So I figured buying two would be beneficial to ME in a few years when it start to produce delicious buttery hass avocados!

It was actually FUN! Granted the b/f was doing most of the digging and I was doing the directing (big surprise).

I did have to do the dirty work though and mix the soil and get my hands dirty! My mom came out and stole my thunder by trying to boss the b/f around and ended up making him practically trim a whole tree down. It was fun to watch. I like a man who can work outside! mmmm mmmm! Plus we were slipping down the hill because it was muddy! Not to mention he was cutting tree branches that were huge so he was DRIPPING sweat using all his testosterone and muscle (bah hahahaha) doing manual labor. While my mom and my job was to throw the trees over the fence and direct him to the next branch.

While we were driving home I was talking to the b/f and was like " That was so much fun!!!! Don't you think???" He looked at me and his eyes said it all!! HAHAHAHAHA That's why I love him! My ideas become reality with him as my muscle!

Happy 50th Dad!

Valentines Day In Capo Beach

SO this post may be painful to everyone who lives where its cold OR has buckets of snow at the moment. But let me bask in its glory and recap my valentines day. This beach is about 2 minutes from my house.



We went there after I got off work from the salon. We had already planned to have Valentines dinner on another day since the thought of going out that night gave me anxiety!



Baby Gus loves the beach!!! Its really funny to see him pull my boyfriend on the skateboard too! hahaha!



I realized that day how much I hate snow! HAHAHAHA! I love looking at every ones pictures and watching snow fall but I am really not very happy when I am cold. I realized that I was just where I wanted to be on Feb 14th with my two loves!

While I was working my Dad brought these in for me

They are HUGE!! It was so funny! Hes the best!!!

Then Juan brought these in for me.... AWWWW!
