† This Post Has Punk Rock Owls

It's been two months since I've updated, whaaaat?? I don't know how that happened. I feel like I'm busy all the time, but I don't have much to show for it except a tiny Hollywood apartment and 1/16 of the clothes I used to have. (I came here with 2 suitcases and I still live out of them daily.)

Right now I'm waiting for my bedding to come out of the dryer -- moment of silence for freshly washed blankets and towels all warm and delicious smelling, SO GOOD -- so I was putzing around in my old folders analyzing past outfits.

Dress by Stylestalker, studded denim jacket by Topshop.

That's what I was wearing this time last year. I was in Utah and it was a rare not-freezing day, so I tromped around in the mountains with the valley spread out below me. 

Later that day I got certified to deal with blood-borne pathogens. TRUE STORY.

Dress by Nasty Gal, jewelry by Verameat.

These days I take slightly better pictures (OR DO I?) and am more blond, but I still haven't figured out how to wear things with actual color in it. I am a work in progress, like all things, except for Beyonce who wakes up perfect.

HOW ARE YOU GUYS? TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT.

If only grey hair wasn't so hard to maintain. I want it back.

† Weekend Sale Roundup

Here are some of my favorite things I snagged during the sale madness that happened in the last few days. Can't wait for these to start showing up in boxes at my door. Go ahead and judge me, neighbors. Be jealous of my Black Milk x Jeffrey Campbell comic MOON BOOTS, AWWW YEAAAH.

Apparently the theme here is spikes. ... And some more spikes. What did you guys snag?

Best of Black Friday Sale Roundup

Here are some events I've scoped out if you're looking for the best outlet to put your, shall we say, resources into:

• 50% off a ton of new (and older) arrivals on ModCloth. This one is worth your time.
• An extra 20% off outlet and other marked down items at ASOS. Use code BLACKFRIDAYBONUS.
• In store tomorrow, 50% all sale items at UrbanOutfitters. Some stores open at midnight.
• Nasty Gal has 25% off ALL shoes, including sale. I just got spiked litas for $70.
• EVERYTHING is on sale at Dolls Kill.
• Express is offering 50% off the entire store.
• You can get 40% off a bunch of items at Forever 21.
• 15% off  + free shipping on all orders from Karmaloop with code 50SHADES.
• JCREW is offering 25% off with COLOR25.
• Haven't scoped it out much, but it looks like Romwe is having a Black Friday sale.
• All t-shirts have been marked down to $10 at Hot Topic.
• Some Black Friday goodness up in Lulu's.
• Topshop is offering an extra 20% off sale.
• BOGO at PLNDR with code PLNDRTURKEY.  You can use this link to join.

And on the flipside, sales that you can probably skip are going on at Shopbop, Revolve, and GoJane. Not much exciting there. I hear Anthropologie has 25% off something, but that's not really my scene so can't vouch for that.

What have I missed? Let me know!
