leopard faux fur hood with mittens

leopard fur hood/scarf with ears and mittens   I've been pondering a practical way to wear this cute hood/scarf/mitten 3 in 1 thing for a while now (lol) and decided that if it was to be "toughened" up with a leather jacket and ESPECIALLY my JC boots, such as in my last look, it is therefore practical to wear in public.  I don't think it's silly anyway even if I wore it with the most casual outfit ever; I love this hat-it truly is warm and having pockets that hang low is extremely convenient.  

Is is softer than a real, live cat? Lol. No, but it is softer than a dead animal and btw I <3 animals ~  & have opposite feelings to fur except I have a vintage seal coat I rescued from trash.  

happy belated black friday + cyber monday:)

This 2012 Black Friday Romwe had a huge sale-everything was already deeply discounted and then I found the code "Nov25%" and got 25% off my whole order PLUS free shipping-duh that's how Romwe operates. :) I'm super excited to get my order should've sprang for expedited shipping.. sike.. you'll never see me NOT try to save money.

long sleeve pastel blouse / heart patterned tights / sheer black MGK pantyhose / black skeleton pants / reversible skirt / black studded hat

I dont think any of the items are sold out yet.  I'm most excited for the studded cap :). I've seen fellow lookbookers wear it in their photos and it has spikes on the underside of the brim which looks awesome :D  But since I didn't leave the house at all after Thanksgiving, I did more shopping... recovering from one full day of gorging takes a while, especially when it has already begun snowing .__.

Speaking of shopping and sales, my dear friend Siarra has her own store where she sells her handmade & crocheted ~CUTENESS~ (bows, beanies, & other necessary winter gear) plus really hard to find in style items.

I got this GORGEOUS bow (& yes thats me on the product page! :D) from her store and I really was speechless when I opened the package.  It was more perfect in person than any photos I had seen online, and the fact that it's handmade by such a cute person makes it that much better.  It's also super cheap, only $13.50 atm.. before you scroll down a bit further past the sneak peek of her other items in stock (plus one of those beanies pictured is mine and I can't wait to get it! This girl makes the most perfect accessories for my swag I swear) and read about her holiday sale...

I have known for a while that American Apparel has an outlet store on eBay, it's really quite interesting as it's linked to their official online store where everything is 3x as expensive.  However, the deals in their eBay outlet store this cyber monday were insane.

I got all of this for under $75 shipped.  The official online store of American Apparel has a sale going on right now, 20% off everything and free shipping over $50-just the SAME items are not as cheap.  However, everything I have posted that I bought is on their eBay store and links are below so it should all be easy to find-hope you make to the sale! (b t w, the prices include shipping!)

black/gold bikini top $4 / black/gold bikini bottom $4 / strapless vertical striped bodysuit $20.80 / sheer luxe thigh highs $4 /  cotton spandex boy brief (more colors) $10.40  /  black bow clip $4

When I did actually leave the house, I saw that CVS was all holiday themed and just had to buy this set of wet n wild nail polishes (black friday sale, $2 for all!). Lol.  Wet N Wild isn't the best cosmetics company, however I did need all of these colors.

Which one (or multiple) should I use first?

~BTW IF YOU MISSED CYBER MONDAY-DON'T MISS THIS!~

the groupon deal "$25 for $50 worth of American Apparel merchandise (or $50 for $100!)" is back ON!!!! :) spread the word

 Are you guys excited for Black Friday? Cause I think I'm all spent out... but Romwe's having a HUGE sale!  I can't wait to post about my purchases.

Up to 70% off, from 21st through 26th

jeffrey campbell spiked lita boots

life through instagram lately

follow @thighighs :3

all i do lately is post about my lita's, my new interest in aromatherapy, how i sewed sticker labels onto my Baggu bags from Karmaloop by hand for organizational purposes, my new iPhone cases and more bow related garments of course.

this case makes it so much more fun to use my phone because it's so squishy kind of lol, so I am off using my phone.. go give me something to tweet about besides my new boots :)  I also got a  melting pink case as you can see in my aggregate IG collection up top.

I'd like to add that for the longest time I was so utterly confused as to how to style see through lace shirts, and I have owned two of them for about a month now.  To just wear such a snug article of clothing with such an amount of translucency paired with something like a bustier top seems a little trashy, depending on the person of course... I simply put a nude tank top from H&M under and now it looks like a normal pretty lilac lace shirt :D

My legs are quite unsightly so it's fortunate that it is almost winter and no one will ever see them, regardless of how cute the Hello Kitty bandages are that are covering them!

WARNING THIS POST HAS A LOT OF LINKS TO DESIRABLE, CHEAP ITEMS

***DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE A SHOPAHOLIC***

Today was a rounded corners kind of day, filled with stars, skulls, ribbons, Dior Miss Cherie, organizational bags (the best thing ever; I'll explain), jewelry, boots, my favorite kind of denim (ACID WASH!), and other cute things :).  Such as the fact that I decided to edit almost every photo with rounded corners lol.

I received my order from Karmaloop (click on text links to navigate to items)! I got that pretty blue bracelet in the above picture (which, by the way, I love mostly because of the way it secures to the wrist! I love pulling the strings tight), the ballerina socks in my look today, a purple resin bow ring, another pair of lace socks & thigh highs (lol), Baggu organizational pouches, and one last thing I will not reveal until I alter it with Rit Dye .. :p. All of my items except the s e c r e t were on sale and super cheap.  I did think the Baggu pink bags would be bigger but it's all good I can ALWAYS find a use for zipper pouches because I like to collect and carry little things all the time. 

Anyhow, literally right after I got the package.. Jeffrey Campbell Spiked Lita's WENT ~ON S A L E~ on their site FOR ONLY $93 and thats NOT EVEN INCLUDING IF YOU USE A DISCOUNT CODE!!! I ordered brand new authentic JC spiked back litas that second and they are on their way to me right now for only $80 shipped!  That's a crazy deal-I didn't even use a 20% off code I used a different one.. 20% off $93 makes the total $75, and dont even bother worrying about shipping-if you just enter the code "ALLOVER" you get free shipping (it' s fast too, I was so shocked when my order came like 3 days after I placed it).  I'm ridiculously excited about this because I ♥ JC LITAs! 

Use the code "fairytime" spelled exactly that way for 20% off your WHOLE order.

Surprisingly they still have almost alll the sizes in stock (5-11 US sizes) of the spiked Lita's I ordered in stock,  I'd hurry n buy them tho. Kinda like I did-I saw top notch JC's at under $100 and instantly went to checkout.

Click the shoes to go to the site :) Don't forget "FAIRYTIME"!

They also have tons of other Litas on sale:

I had JC Lita's before if you remember, for a few months, but I never wore them out because I was 17 at the time, they were super glittery pink and in retrospect, no I do not think I could've pulled off the "classy stripper" look. Especially when I brought them to my summer trip to Moscow two summers ago to visit my family, they were probably the most impractical thing to pack ever especially in the summer but these nice durable leather spiked ones will suit me in the winter :-).

It was my birthday week so obviously I ordered more things than just from Karmaloop. The tiny .17oz bottle of Miss Dior Cherie came with that bow mini clutch which is authentic Christian Dior and was wrapped beautifully in Dior paper *sigh*.  The perfume is too small to actually spray, so it sort of leaks out, but the smell of the edp is so strong from just the bottle sitting around I smell it all the time and that's wonderful because besides Christmas Cookie Yankee Candles and the men's fragrance Gucci Guilty , it's my favorite smell of all time.  The purple passport holder and oversized gold paperclip (which accessorizes it perfectly) are from Amazon, and the skull shirt was bought at Rue 21 with a gift card I received for my birthday.  From Rue I also got some thick knit tights and leggings, including the skull ones below.  I'm really preparing for ❅ winter❅ even though it is by far my least favorite season.  However, everything I got this week was extremely inexpensive and I love it all so thats something to be excited about.. I suppose..not snow..ugh ♥

Sadly, the gorgeous skirt I wore today from Romwe is out of stock on their site, but maybe they'll restock.  It's absolutely perfect.  I love skirts that do their JOB which is to fluff out and look all cute without requiring a spin-around; flirty skirts that don't just look nice on the mannequin.  This is that kind of skirt.  

My bow & shirt are from American Apparel. I wore the ballerina socks over the skull tights to add that extra feminine goth touch.  I have always been in love with victorian goth inspired dark female fashion; I've always found it very alluringly mysterious.  I refuse to paint my nails black again though ever its just not a cute look for  me :(  Also, I am ALMOST at 4,000 lookbook fans! Help me get there pleeeeaaasseee <3  & my last look got on lb's tumblr :)
