MAKEFACE



    Nars blush in Amour, Julie Hewett cheak & lip shine in Peachie, MAC fluidline gel eyeliner in Blacktrack, Loreal hip eyeshadow in Adventurous (I just use the pink), Nars duo eyeshadow in Mogambo or substitute Cordura

    1. I'm not going to do a makeup tutorial video.

    2. You can probably search the BILLIONS of makeup tutorial videos on Youtube. They seem to know what they're doing. Seriously. BILLIONS.

    3. I don't take things off on camera (makeup or otherwise).

    Not pictured: Opi nail polish in Teal the Cows Come Home, any drug store mascara, Bare Escentuals mineral veil and powder in Light, Jurlique rosewater mist which I spray over my powder to make my face feel less "powdery" - a tip I picked up from some Jen Brill interview.

    I hope that helps though!

"Random pet peeve for the day"



    Apologies for the quality. Everything is in boxes and it's like... 3AM... again. I'm wearing a thrifted silk shirt, a beanie from Yesstyle, and a vintage strawberry necklace that I purchased five years ago from Kokon To Zai in London.

    I kind of got tired of answering questions for the night. Sometimes it feels like a never ending well. Except, instead of bricks, it's made out of teenage girls. I also did a short interview here. Media Monday! So thrilling!

It's a wrap.


    free people skirt // elizabeth & james top

    I love wrapping my hair in a headscarf when the warm season draws near!! It's great for when I have very little time to spare or if I'm having a very bad hair day!

    For this hair style:
    1. Tie hair in a loose bun.
    2. Take a scarf and fold it into triangle.
    3. Adjust the scarf accordingly on top of your head.
    3. Secure ends of scarf by tying it into a knotted bow!

You can't put your arms around a memory


    I'm enamored by this photo of Kate by Corinne Day taken in 1990. Last night, Tim and I were exchanging music. I'll trade you Pentagram for Johnny Thunders, and what not. I remembered, I forgot to mention that I got my ears pierced!

    I wanted to do something physical to mark the change in my life. The last time I did that, I chopped off my hair. What a stupid thing to do. Anyways, I ordered these earrings from Topshop, which are supposedly a threatening 24cm long. Aren't they lovely?

In a garden in the house of love...

    American Archive vintage t-shirt courtesy of Casey @American Archive, Junya Watanabe satin skirt w/ floral overlay, regular jewelry, Ashish for Topshop leopard wedges, Litter chains

    >>my favorite song<<

    It's raining. A few weeks ago, Casey from American Archive sent me several things in the mail. This Rod Stewart vintage tour t-shirt seemed kind of funny. I can't afford new shoes right now. I'm moving into my new condo at the end of the month. So I bought these shoe chains to kind of... jazz it up. Ewww I hate that phrase.

MY FRIEND MIKE

    Last week I went to Target to buy a shoe rack. It was probably a bad idea for me to wear thigh highs to Target - but I don't have a fashion show to go to, so Target seemed good enough.

    As I was walking out, I hear these guys start hollering at me from their car. I keep walking to my car, pretending I don't hear them. I put my shoe rack in the backseat and buckle my seat belt. I'm about to leave when I see this guy walking towards my car. He's wearing a backwards hat and smoking a cigarette.

    I roll down my window, and he asks:
    "Hey, what's your name?"
    I stare blankly.
    "What's your name?"
    "Lulu"
    "I like your outfit."
    "Thanks"
    "What are you doing right now."
    And I'm thinking, dude, I'm going to go home and assemble my shoe rack. You would know, you fucking stalked me across the parking lot.
    "Nothing"
    "Do you want to hang out with me and my friend Mike?"
    "No"
    "Are you sure?"
    "Yeah"
    "Are you sure you don't want to hang out with me and MY FRIEND MIKE."

    After I left, I finished building my shoe rack. And now when people ask me what I did last week. I say, I almost got raped in the Target parking lot.

DIY: lace nails


    wings of lace // ralph lauren top Lace nails inspired by Tracy Reese & Reem Acra



    Supplies you will need: top coat(I used Sally Hansen's Hard As Nails..lol), scissors, toothpick, and black LACE!

    Top coat is designed to dry hard and protect your nails from scratches and chips. To ensure the lace adhere to the nails, make sure you use top coat instead of clear polish.


    Step 1: Measure and trim the lace to fit each finger nail.


    Step 2: Polish a single layer of top coat. Step 3: Apply the trimmed lace on top of the wet polish. Step 4: Firmly press the outer corners of the lace with a toothpick. Step 5: Let the polish and lace dry for a few minutes Step 6: Finish with two more applications of top coat.


    fin!

    Have fun and please link back to Behind the Seams blog when using this tutorial! Thanks!

    Hey, it rhymes :)

    I like pretty girls in Comme des Garçons. You don't have to be pretentious and reference way too much when you talk. Or believe everything should be "art" and everybody should be "individual." Accessibility is nice. I'm glad they didn't put Abbey in a black bowl cut wig and make her do weird arm reaching poses. That shit is soooo boring.

    Things I'm also into: pink, longer hemlines, and house plants... I think I need one... but they don't sell those at the Daiso.
