Slackerrrrrrrr!

Sorry all, I've been SWAMPED with school, work, and preparing the house for my Papa's two week visit from California! YAY!!!!!! I can't even begin to tell you how much I'm looking forward to it. I need to see him and just relax, talk, cook, fish. All the wonderful things I miss out on now, living out here. Besides being a Cali girl to the very marrow of my bones, being this far away from my Dad and my brother is really tough. SO, not a moment too soon my Dad will be here and we can chill out together. :)
Anyway, here's some garden and the first pics for a DIY Balmain I did. Yay, bleach and rubberbands!

Alexander Wang. Runway or DIY?

It's pretty undeniable that Alexander Wang has become a household name and one seriously rock star young designer. His latest show has plenty of new covet-ables, my favorites being the shoes and the bags. I can't help but notice the similarities in the heeled boots of the last photo looking remarkably like all the punk rock witch boots I used to wear. I've been searching for a pair rather desperately for over a year now. What do you like? How can you re-create this on a shoe string budget? I'm working on some DIY solutions myself...
