It's All Geek To Me

Geek Chic. It’s the glasses primarily. It’s also inspired by how a geek puts on a mish mash of clothes together, nonchalant about style but still end up looking chic…well some of them ;-)

I’m having fun with poses, maybe it’s the coffee I accidentally drank. I had given up regular coffee. I’ve been drinking decaf for the past 6 months.



Why are sexy shoes the most uncomfortable shoes to wear? I am on knives on this pair but luckily I sit all day at work and draw stuff.

The music for today is the Boo Radleys. Wake Up Boo! Who really has the heart to stay in bed after listening to this?



I hope you guys have a fair Wednesday. Frock on, styledivas!

Wake Up To The Sight of Love

I had a hard time dragging my butt off my bed this morning...stupid time change. It was already 7 o'clock but it was still dark outside! I'm all achy because I spent the entire weekend cleaning and clearing my backyard, with the amazing help of the husb, of course. So thankful I didn't pull a snake from my plant beds this time. My yard is now clean but bald since the perennials haven't grown back yet.

Yup, that's a pink dollhouse that I meant to redo and house all my Blythe dolls but never really got around to it. I'll get to it eventually.



I'm very much infatuated with this song and band right now. They're called The Camerawalls. This is the kind of music that mentally plays in my mind when I'm home laying on my hammock enjoying a breezy day.



Have a great start of the week everyone. Frock on!

Fringe With Benefits

Recently, I feel like an archeologist every time I go into my closet. I’ve been unearthing clothes I had bought and forgotten about. Like this mini dress, for instance. I bought this mini dress a year ago and I never wore it till now. I now remember that I’ve been meaning to readjust the hem and just turn it into a top and wear bellbottom jeans with them. I really don’t know if I want to do that now seeing that as a mini dress, it’s not too bad.




I made the leather and beaded necklace from left over scraps from a project and I think it turned out way better than that other project. People have asked me where I got them and I just say from my “brains and hands” and they still look at me quizzically. “I made it!” and they go “Aaaaah, do you sell them?” “No sorry.” But then I mentally say " I make my own stuffs sometimes so that there’s no one else in the world wearing them." insert devious chortle



I’ve always wanted fringe boots ever since I saw Tiger Lilly in Peter Pan, even though she wasn’t wearing any. Several years later, I finally went and got them. It’s never too late to make your dreams come true ;-)

Frocking on Friday!

Destined for Greyness

Today is a grey day. It looks like a depressed day…the skies still pregnant with rain, wet empty streets. My mood isn’t, but my zest is zero on the scale only because I woke up at 4 AM to a big whining dog who was terribly scared of the thunderstorm that was happening several miles from us. Damn a dog’s sensitive hearing sometimes.



If I were home all day and not going to work, I’d be doing all sorts of creative stuff. Grey days don’t really dampen my spirits.



The outfit is of course, largely influenced on the weather and the overall blahness of it. I’m not wearing my usual bright colors, even my floral printed stockings are diffused with grey. My corset boots look like my black Jeffrey Campbell Litas after hanging out with the goth kids or with some Japanese visual kei band. Hehe. The lacing on them is pretty interesting, goes all the way to the front of the shoes. It’s got an applique of copper-colored leather cross in the back.



My necklaces are from Forever 21. I like piling necklaces on like Mr. T
