90's Style Icons

When I was a young high school student, I had 2 style icons that I adored and emulated.
I was in love with Drew Barrymore, and Courtney Love. These women are why I was a short haired, bleach blonde, vintage clothes wearing girl. Even now, looking back at these photos I get inspired! Who did you love in your younger days?

My prom

I have been busy listing prom dresses for sale. I got a little nostalgic, and thought it would be funny to share my 2 prom experiences with you. I went to my high school prom in 1997, and then to me ex boyfriends prom in 1998. (all I see in these photos are eyebrows, where the heck are they? I plucked them so thin. agghhh)




The black vintage dress was from a Resale shop called RAGS. Its cost $15. I added a white feather boa. Long black gloves, that I sewed rhinestones to. Then I topped it all off with a rhinestone tiara from the thrift store. What I remember most about this night was DRAMA. I went in a limo with 2 other couples. One girl was angry at her boyfriend the whole time. The other couple got separated when the guy got kicked out. And as usual I was not getting along with my boyfriend either. But I did have fun dancing with my girlfriends all night.





This was my younger boyfriends prom. It was alot more fun. We went in a huge group. I reconstructed a wedding dress I found at the thrift store. I cut off the bodice. Then I added a piece of tulle with ribbon as a shawl. I wore creepers with stripe socks. I adorned myself with vintage rhinestone jewelry. This outfit cracks me up. I am proud of myself for using my sewing machine. The lovely brunette on my right is Sheri my beloved photographer ;)

Michelle Tanner!

I made a fun discovery the other day. While Antiquing with my honey I discovered the Michelle Tanner doll. I grew up watching Full House, and now they are running it on Nickelodeon. So I burst out laughing when I saw this doll. First of all its weird looking. The batteries were really low, so when we made her talk it sounded like a drunk robot. So enjoy a bit of nostalgia, and a good laugh with me. You got it dude.

Music Matters Circa 2006

Once upon a time there was a local San Diego publication called Music Matters. I was lucky enough to have a four page spread. I was going through the archives and forgot how much I loved these pictures. The model is one of my best Girl friends, Alissa whom I have known since elementary school. Enjoy!

Girl Night

What I wore to the cinema......



I had a little girl night last week. The female festivities consisted of seeing a movie called, " Blue Valentine." I love Ryan Gosling and will see anything with him in it. It was a good movie, but very sad. We all went home and smooched our loved ones. There is nothing better than hanging with your sisters during a long hard work week. Thanks ladies. I love you!

Little Bro

My little Brother Lucas had a house show the other night. It was his first time playing in his new band, The Vipers. He was so cute in his vintage red shirt sister got him for Christmas. I went to shows and parties all the time in my twenties. Now its so funny. I feel like the old momma there. Its nostalgic and fun, but I also feel like I need to get to bed by 10pm. But I will always drag my old butt out to support my bro. xoxoxo

Lights & Cocoa

My Cousin Amanda (also my B.F.F) and I took the kids to look at Christmas lights the night before X-mas eve. We made hot cocoa and got in our jammies. We headed to Candy Cane lane in El Cajon. We sat in line for a while, then we got to drive slowly looking at ll the lights. The kids were so cute! There was a lit up Sponge Bob and Owen yelled " Sponge Bob you are my favorite show on Nickelodeon." It was so funny! There was even a Santa Claus passing out candy canes to the cars.

Crazy Holidays

I am so tired! This week of Holiday get togethers with family and friends has wiped me out. It all began when my girlfriend Simmone came to town from Baltimore. We headed to the local Karaoke bar to catch up. Then a few nights later we had a game night. This is a tradition we try to carry on year after year at this time.
P.S. I am in love with my new mustard yellow jacket ;)
