Spooky Times

Hello Peeps,

I know, I know, It's been awhile. We are in the process of closing on our first home and moving, so things are cray-zay! The week before last we made a trip home to Florida to sell our funny books and clothing at a horror convention, Spooky Empire in Orlando. It ended up being a good show, and we made it home to St Augustine to visit family and friends as well. Here are a few random pics of the show:

Hey guys, it's Gary Busey! (We spotted Lita Ford that weekend as well, but I didn't get a pic)

I need to find some pics of the St Augustine portion of the trip as well, it was so good to see our fam.

So what are y'alls plans for Halloween? It looks like we are moving Halloween weekend, so I don't think I am going to have the chance to dress up in costume. I was planning on going as Joan Halloway from Mad Men. I even have her gold pen necklace and everything, lol!

Our website has recently started carrying a rockabilly/punk brand called Too Fast Clothing. They have super rad, fun styles-check out our Too Fast offerings here Lola-Rocks Clothing Here are a few pics of the different styles we have in stock:

Well, it is bedtime for this girl. Hope you are all having a wonderful week! I will blog again after the big move!

Hugs,

Fashion Nugget of the Day

Hello Peeps,

It has been a while since I did a Fashion Nugget (OOTD), but I felt I bit inspired today, so I went for it.

Old Navy Plaid Shirt
CBGB Tee
Pure Energy Skirt
Target Necklace

I wrote about this Old Navy shirt in a previous blog, and I am still a bit obsessed with it. I did a "sneak attack" on this one (As a plus size woman I refer to trying Misses sizes, and rocking them, as "sneak attacks", as in I sneak into the Misses sizes, LOL).

The CBGB t-shirt is from Hot Topic. Of course, I had to go up a size, and I really could have gone up 2 sizes, but this is to be expected of their clothing. It is a cute tee though and I love it.

I bought the Pure Energy skirt on clearance at Target for around 6 bucks. It is a bandage style skirt, but is surprisingly flattering. The brass mirror necklace I bought on Target clearance this week for around $7.

Today was a fun one! I met Cristal in Smyrna at we ate at Famous Dave's, followed by a Target shopping trip, of course. I pulled another sneak attack with 2 sweaters which magically make me look close to my goal size (a size 16) and a pair of fabulous fake UGGS. It is too much fun shopping with her!

Ok guys, I have house cleaning to do. Hope you all have a fabulous Friday, and a wonderful weekend!

Leopard and Beer

Hello Peeps,

Hope you all had a fab weekend! Mine was fairly awesome. It started Friday night at Becca's 25th birthday party at The Flying Saucer in downtown Nashville. Too much beer was consumed, and spilled (courtesy if yours truly). But a fun time was had by all :)

I'm the redhead with her boobs hanging out-how lovely. I also wore heels that night, though there is no photographic evidence to support this fact. I cropped you out of the pic Tracy, as requested :)

We spent the rest of the weekend selling funny books at a comic show in Nashville. It was a pretty bland show, but we made some cash so it's ok. We also got to hang out with Ben and Tracy, which is always a blast. Tracy even bought me turtle earrings! She knows of my love of the "I like tut-les" Zombie Kid. Heck, she introduced me to that insanity!

Ok, so I have been thinking about Fall fashion trends to share. There are many trends to report on (military, lace, shearling, and so on), but I think I will choose leopard because it is by far my fave.

I have had a leopard obsession sine I was 14 years old, and my Mom gave me her 1960s faux fur leopard car coat. It is beyond cool, and when I get back down to a size 16, I am totally rocking that bitch. People say it takes balls to rock leopard, or animal prints in general. Really? I have always worn them, in good times (the above mentioned car coat), and bad (the unfortunate leopard print pants circa 2000). Here are some leopard pics of the moment:

Torrid Leopard Jacket

I bought the above Torrid jacket on clearance a month or so ago. It is awesome, and is on clearance again, so go snatch one up!

Hope you all have a fab day!

Obesssions New & Old

Good Morning Peeps,

I had a fun day yesterday! Cristal, Melissa, and I had a birthday lunch for Becca at Demo's in Murfreesboro (or the 'boro as locals call it). Of course none of us brought our cameras, but trust me, fun was had by all.

After lunch we headed over the The Avenue for some shopping. We started at Charming Charlie (a cool accessory store which is color coordinated, hecks yes!) and ended at Old Navy. Here are a few of the goodies (obsessions) that I found.

Plaid Shirt: Old Navy
Gray knit cap and Jackie O Glasses: Charming Charlie

I am really feeling the plaid shirt thing this season. Initially I wasn't to in to this trend, since I have "been there, done that" with the flannel shirts of the 90s. But the shirts they making this season seem to be a bit fitted, and more lightweight (this one is a lightweight cotton). Yes, I snuck into the Misses size XXL, lol.

The knit cap is too cute, and actually fit my large head! I have been looking for some comfortable, classic, inexpensive sunglasses, and these fit the bill.

I also wanted to share my older obsessions. OK, they aren't old, I bought most of these a month or two ago.

Shoes: Unlisted

Bag: Matt & Nat

Bangles: Target

I bought these shoes on my Florida trip. I haven't worn them as of yet (I'm not much of a heels person), but I think I might wear them to Becca's birthday jam at the Flying Saucer this Friday night. The bag is fab and easy. The bangles, well, let's just say I can't stop wearing them. I picked them up on clearance at Target.

Well, I have tons of stuff to take care of today. Hope everyone is having a great Thursday!

Hugs,

Adrienne

Wishlist for Fall 2010

Hello Again,

It is late, my allergies are killing me, and I am suffering from a bout of house hunting insomnia. So, I decided to give my brain a break from the day-to-day, and have a fashion dream session.

Oh ASOS, how I adore you. I have purchased several looks from your clearance selection this past Summer. Some have been awesome, some have ended up in my eBay store, but all have been fashion forward and I love that. This is a dress I have been drooling over for a while now. I will have to wait and see if it goes on clearance:

ASOS Cotton Crochet Dress

I've been craving a weathered, leather-esque jacket for a while now. I've tried on Mossimo moto jackets at Target, but even the largest sizes turn me into Uni-Boob Woman. Maybe this one would be better.....

ASOS Curve Bomber Jacket

I have a thing for mesh and sparkles. Don't ask. I would probably never wear this, but I loves it.

Faith 21 Jeweled Mesh Pleated Skirt

I have turned up my nose at the small bag trend for several months now, but I have a confession to make. Now I loves them! My big bags still rule, don't get me wrong. But things have been insane lately, so throwing my credit card and phone in a small bag works for me! Guess what other style I turned up my nose at? Yep, crossbody bags, which I also have decided are fab. What have I become? I can't afford this one, but I loves it:

Marc by Marc Jacobs

I think I am finally sleepy, so I will save shoes for another day.

Hugs,

Adrienne
