Fashion Hero: Sharon Needles

Oh my god, Sharon, Sharon, Sharon.
It's not really an unknown fact that I'm a little bit in love with RuPaul's drag race. Each season I have a fascination with a queen (Pandora Boxx, Manila Luzon, etc.), but when my girl Sharon Needles came along, I became obsessed. I totally could relate to Sharon. I felt like I could totally see Sharon-esque qualities in myself. She was the different one in the pack of bubblegum pink lipstick, cute wigs, and pink sequins. She wore octopus tentacles, dripped mouthfuls of fake blood, and wore white contacts. I dug it. She gave me my motto "When in doubt, freak 'em out". Plus, there is something so effortlessly cool about Sharon, I can't really help myself but be obsessed with her.
So, friends, please enjoy this style board of my dear Sharon Needles.
here's a link to the online version, where you can see where to buy the items.

Sharon Needles as Maleficent. My life is complete. (I did not make this picture, if you did, email me! It's awesome)

Fashion Hero: Lyn-Z

I've had the biggest girl crush on Lyn-Z forever. She's such a baddie! Her style is kind of schoolgirl-gone-bassist-without-looking-like-a-whore. I constantly am taking both fashion and life tips from her.

 

Got these two epic rings from Kokorokoko in Chicago. That place is awesome.

I finally got to dye my hair!

yes! It's true! I did!
My mom and I have been arguing over this since literally like, 5th grade. I have probably wanted my hair to be every color from blonde to blue. Finally we decided. I really really really either wanted black or green. I convinced her to let me have black with green tips. How I convinced her, I have no idea.
So I bought the dyes, and did the black, then bleached the ends and put the green dye over the bleach.
It looked terrible.
Imagine if you took a mixing bowl and poured in 50% Sprite and 50% Nuclear Waste. That color was on my hair! I flipped out.
I ended up just buying more black dye and putting it over the tips. This all took place over the course of a day. And if that wasn't enough damage, yesterday I brushed out the dread locks that had formed in my hair from me not brushing it. It literally felt like someone ripping out every hair on my head then pulling on the skin. I was almost crying. But I just played banjo music during this process on my computer so I could feel like I was in a Wes Anderson movie.
But either ways, behold, my new and improved hair! I look like crap in the picture, so don't mind me. 

hairstyles i want but i could never have

Plants are Cool

plants are cool. if you put them in your house it will make you look both outdoorsy. personally, i like plants more then pets. DONT HATE ME BECAUSE I SAID THAT! but anyways having plants in your house really benefits it. It makes the air quality better, reduces stress, smells good, and pretty much just look awesome.
             My mom is like the queen of plants. I think she's spent more money on plants then on my college fund. And here to provide you with inspiration, here are some photos from my mother's indoor plant collection. 

Fashion Hero: Lydia Deetz

One of my biggest fashion inspirations is Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder's character from Beetlejuice). Lydia Deetz started my Winona Ryder obsession. Lydia has this awesome goth look in the movie. So, here is some inspiration on how to channel Lydia's style without having to wear a veil over your face.

 

 these are some of the best lines in a movie in the history of time.
