he spoiled my nice new rattle!

the shirt: the tag says HC, but I think that they just made the shirt blank and some very cool person silkscreened the twins onto it. have i ever told you that i love alice in wonderland? must blog about it later...
the belt: no tag. leather and suede. it's secondhand, okay? don't judge. i'm a vegetarian.
it reminds me of something a fairy would wear in an original production of a midsummer night's dream.
the suspenders: these are the best, don't you agree? they're like the ones you can get at places like ricky's, except i think that they're old, genuine men's suspenders that were not supposed to be remotely edgy...until now.
the pants:: from a brand called "dollhouse".
i bought everything except the pants this weekend at a vintage store in brooklyn called beacon's closet. i LOVE beacon's closet. no, that's not true. you can't love things, only people. well, i really really really like beacon's closet. wait till you see my skates...

little alternative commune on the prairie

very very very cool.

hairstyle

i made 5 small braids in my hair and tied them off with little pink yarn bows, then a really fake plastic blue flower hair clip. i was gonna do my whole head, but then i thought that my mom would kill me.

fabulous new pants

i got these amazing new pants today. by the way, i have recently taken a vow to buy all my clothes second hand, so there's really no point in saying where i got everything anymore. what made the pants even more amazing was the shirt (it was really supposed to be a light nightgown) that i was wearing with it. there are little white circles sewn to the edge that make a rainy sort of sound when i walk.


i apologize for the quality of the pictures.

freadom

this isnt a very exciting outfit, but im posting it because it's so unlike me. i call it my edgy, radical lesbian from the 1980's look.

homemade 2 piece jumpsuit

this was a pair of pants from boden. i bought a sgt. pepper's patch in san fransico and ironed it onto the front. i wore these pants quite happily for a year or so, and then it got really hot outside. so i cut off the pants at the knee and made capris. but then, i had all this pretty extra fabric. so i made a shirt, sort of shaped like a skirt, with the sides triangles of flow-y yellow fabric-and voila! a beautiful 2-piece mod style jumpsuit!

make

i have started an account on Etsy, a website where people can sell things that they've made. i haven't put anything up for sale yet, but i will. i am called cottlestonpie.

im sitting in the computer lab at school with nothing to do.

ok, so todays outfit is not very interesting in that it didn't involve a lot of scheming. however, i am wearing one of my more amazing dresses, so i thought it was worth posting anyway. i call this dress my "technicolor acid flower" print dress, because that is the only way to describe the color scheme.

very proud of myself

so i have this amazing dress made out of TOTALLY psychedelic fabric.


















but the problem with it is that it is designed with a very small end, so that i have to take tiny steps and look feminine. well, i will not stand for either looking like someone else's idea of femininity, nor will i stand for having to walk slowly. so i cut a slit up the side and hemmed it. i am very proud of this particular piece of butchery, because it looks like it was made that way. so here it is.
i think this picture is kind of trippy cause i forgot to turn of the flash so everything looks distorted and blobby.

silent clowns

ok, long story but my family decided to dress up as mimes and take pictures on our roof. this is me and my bro, mr. awesome, in mime makeup. don't ask.

why, hello there.

i just ate an entire icing cookie easter chick and now im giggling and shaking all over.

ok, so since im seriously hyped up on sugar/excited about my ability to put pictures on blogger,
[i take ten minute break to eat a basket full of jelly beans]
SINCE I AM REALLY-IM EXcited, AND i am going to POST some pppppiiiiiiiiiicccccccccttttttttttttuuuuuuurrrrreeeeeeeesssssss..........
hehehehehehehehehe
REALLY HYPER!!!!
[i take ten minute break to chill]
sry bout that. now for some pictures!!

these are some shirts i sewed like a million years ago and stored away somwhere, which is why therye so wrinkled.

the first

this is the first of what will hopefully be many pictures of what i am wearing.
now, what i was aiming for in this outfit was something kind of classy, old-fashioned stylish, with a small element of drag (ie the tie and suspenders.) the fact that two items in this outfit have peace signs on them is unimportant. it was accidental. ok, now fo what everything was from:
the pants are mini boden, the tie is a gift from my awesome uncle, the shirt is secondhand, the suspenders are secondhand, i can't remember where the scarf is from, and the bright green beret that you can't see me wearing is from a vendor in paris.

make stuff

so, i spent 2 days making THE MOST amazing sneakers that ever were. i am going to describe them in addition to showing a picture, because there is so much to take in.
-the toe of the shoe is a rainbow
-the edge of the shoe says THERESNOTHINGYOUCANDOTHATCANTBEDONENOTHINGYOUCANSINGTHATCANTBESUNGITS<3EASY
-the sole of the shoe says LOVE all over it.
-one side of the laces are a rainbow of stripes, the other have lyrics from across the universe in rainbow letters on them. the laces took just as long as the shoes themselves.
-there are several panels with pictures on them. the pictures are: a wave in the sea, daises, fish in the sea, blue stars on a yellow background, and the addidas symbol turned into a tree against a blue sky background. there are also two small spirals, and two checkerboard sections.
-the tongue of one shoe has the sun and red swirls all over it, the other has the moon and stars all over it.
-on the outside of the shoes, there is a one orange and one blue stripe. on the inside there is one raspberry and one lilac stripe.
-the holes that the laces are threaded through are disguised to look like daises on one side and suns on the other.



















then, i was bored so i made this glove out of a jewelry bag.

change of plans

im not putting up ads. its too complicated.

the rebirth

due to urging by certain parties, i will re-open this blog. however, i will only post when i am wearing a particularly amazing outfit, and i will attempt to make money off this blog by putting up ads. i kno, im selling my soul.
ok, so right now im wearing my crinoline underneath a pink sparkly skirt. i am wearing a bouncy green scarf with a lot of elastic inside tied around my waist. my shirt is a floral backless halter with a huge pink lace star on the front. i am wearing pink-and-black fingerless gloves on my hands as i type this, and a magenta headband on my head. not an elastic-y headband, a thin hard one. this is my southern-belle-at-a-fancy-party outfit. my parents are having a HUGE party tonight with like FIFTY people ar our house, so im all dressed up in my party clothes. whats funny is that everything i am wearing was bought on a vacation to somewhere, except the pink skirt, which was bought as part of my marie antionette birthday party a few years ago. what else? o, im wearing no shoes. even though im outside. go figure.
