Dress: Thrifted (Similar) // Socks c/o Sock Dreams // Shoes: Litas by Jeffrey Campbell (Buy here) // Jacket: Love Culture (Similar) // Unicorn Horn Necklace c/o Orchid and Reptile // Pentagram Earrings: eBay (Similar)

There's just something about babydoll dresses and chunky thigh high socks. It's the best part of 90s fashion and I will never stop wearing it!

I have lots of stuff to talk about - like my birthday party and doing pin up modeling this weekend! - but it will wait for more specific blog posts. For now, I leave you with this outfit. My birthday is tomorrow - I'm going to be 25!! AHHH!

Striped Top: Forever 21 (Similar) // Floral Skirt: Thrifted (Similar) // Shoes: Coltrane Knockoffs from eBay (Similar) // Jacket: Forever 21 (Similar) // Rings: eBay (Similar one two three four) // Necklace c/o My Charm Offensive

I have such an intense love affair with high waisted skirts (especially maxis!) and crop tops. It's such a perfect silhouette and SO flattering on my curves. I am so thrilled that the good parts of 90s fashion are coming back now - it makes me want to watch a lot of My So Called Life for inspiration! (And because My So Called Life is awesome, duh). I even ordered a tattoo choker today… ehehe!

My Sailor Moon tattoo is getting finished on Sunday!! I am SO excited that I can hardly stand it - I'm already in love with it and once the blue clouds are added in the background I may just pull my skin off and frame it as art. Maybe.

Also, how precious is this delicate "Geek" necklace from My Charm Offensive? She actually sent it to me to review AGES ago but it got stuck in the very back of my review drawer and I forgot about it, oh no!! I'm the worst blogger ever. But I found it the other day and "squeed" all over again. It's so wonderful! I want to wear it every day!

I went and saw Kyary Pamyu Pamyu last night and it was probably one of the top 100 experiences of my life thus far. She's perfect and hilarious and adorable and it was so much fun!! I loved seeing her mesmerizing dancing and looking at the audience's awesome outfits. I posted lots of pics on my instagram!

Happy Valentine's Day, my precious Peacocks! I hope you have a great day full of candy.

Outfit #69: Make a Shadow

Dress: Thrifted (Similar) // Hat: Thrifted (Similar) // Belt: Thrifted (Similar) // Jacket: Forever 21 (Similar) // Necklaces: eBay (Similar - Chain) (Similar - Half Moon) // Shoes: "Coltrane" Knockoffs (Similar) // Sunglasses: eBay (Similar) // Bracelets c/o Frosted Willow // Rings c/o Wanderlustiny // Earrings c/o Little Otto

This dress is probably one of my favorite vintage finds in a LONG time. I found it at a thrift store in Boise Idaho when I was down there not long ago for one of my best friend's weddings. I love the unique floral print and the way it's cut is super flattering on my pear shape. Yay!

I'm so excited: I get to go see Kyary Pamyu Pamyu tomorrow!! She's my favorite J-pop singer and I've essentially worshiped her since her days as a Japanese Street Fashion Model. I've come up with a pretty ridiculous Harajuku inspired outfit that shall be quite delightful (but still mostly black, since I'm allergic to color). I'm sure you guys will see it on my Instagram! 

Convention Style: PAX Prime 2013 [Saturday]

Dress: Don't remember! >.< (Similar) // Denim Vest c/o Choies (Similar) // Flower Headband: Bunny Farm (Similar) // Boots: Thrifted (Similar) // Pokemon Badges: RedditGifts Exchange // Other badges: Cons/anime stores in LA // Death Note Necklace: eBay (Buy here) // Unicorn Necklace (Similar) // Animal Ear Ring: eBay (Similar) // CTRL Ring: Gift from my friend Tara

Welcome to a new "thing" I'll be adding to the Geeky Peacock - documenting my outfits on a daily basis at cons! I have a real challenge dressing for conventions because I LIVE in super huge heels (not good for walking around cons), and styling around comfortable shoes is difficult for me. However, I always try to look as fashionable as possible if I'm out of cosplay, and I decided I really need to start documenting this!

Originally I intended to begin this feature during SDCC, but I was so incredibly busy having a blast the entire time that I never took a moment to throw my camera at someone and ask them to snap some pictures. The same thing happened here - I went to PAX Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but only got outfit pics Saturday. However, I have NYCC next week and I'm going to make my dearest Kristin photograph my outfits every day! MUAHA!

It's been awhile since I've blogged, hasn't it? I've been incredibly busy dealing with the insanity (the AWESOME insanity!) that has happened since Fangasm aired last week!! I am having SUCH a blast reading everyone's responses to it. Did you guys watch it? What did you think? And what do YOU wear at conventions?

Shirt: Blood is the new Black // Skirt: Forever 21 (Similar) // Shoes: JustFabulous (Similar) // Black Ring: Forever 21 (Similar) // Turquoise Ring: eBay (Similar) // Hat: H&M // Jacket: LoveCulture (Similar)

I'm BAAAAACCKKKK! I'm going to go on the record right now to say that I promise I will start posting outfit pictures as often as possible once again. Now that I don't have someone to photograph me, I'm figuring out how to use my tripod to photograph myself. My lovely bestie Sarah Hiraki took these for me in the meantime.

I apologize for the state of my nails. I've been way too lazy lately.

Apartment Sweet Apartment: Jewelry and Makeup Organization

Growing up, I was a terribly messy child. No matter how much my mother yelled and screamed, my bedroom always looked like a hurricane came through it. Moving into my first apartment it wasn't much better. I had a horrible habit of leaving clothes all over the place, not washing my dishes... it was gross. I was gross.

Now that I'm older, I'm NEUROTIC about my apartment. I get anxiety if everything doesn't have a place, and if people come over and everything isn't "just so". My biggest problem was that I didn't know how to ORGANIZE things. Thanks to the wonder of Pinterest, I've learned this skill... and I've been slowly but surely tucking my two bedroom apartment away into boxes and hooks and all sorts of little nooks.

I have a lot of jewelry and makeup, so my bathroom was a long time coming. This is what my CURRENT setup looks like, though it's bound to change in the near future. I got the dresser off of Craigslist and organized it with little dividers from Daiso. The bowls are all thrift store finds. My ex boyfriend's mom got me the cool hands. The AMAZING jewelry rack I got off of Amazon a few years back. This corner of my apartment makes me so happy.
