vintage Angel tour shirt, vintage David Ackerman platform boots, Alexadra Cassaniti money bag, vintage flannel, Blood Milk butterfly knife necklace, vintage bangles, Betsey Johnson peacock ring, Lucky Brand copper/turquoise snake ring, Ray Ban aviators.
At the suggestion of Jayne (of Stop it Right Now), I recently acquired this canvas & leather money bag by Alexandra Cassaniti, which is basically the best thing I own.
The long leather strap can either be left clipped to the base so you can wear it as a backpack, or unclipped and it turns into a drawstring shoulder or crossbody bag. Words can't describe the hard-on I have for this bag -- thank you, Jayne!
I can't even tell you how long it took me to find an Angel shirt, but I'll have this one forever. Bobby and I fight over this Betsey Johnson peacock ring, which was a gift from my mother two birthdays ago.
Loving my vintage David Ackerman boots, as always.

Angel are/were Casablanca's "white" version of KISS and, like Pentagram, were formed in the D.C. area in the 70s. Although my favorite Angel album is 1976's Helluva Band, which is more progressive than glam, their most notable release is probably 1977's On Earth As It Is In Heaven:
"That Magic Touch," off of On Earth As It Is In Heaven. The only thing I don't like about this song is the weird fade-out in the end; they should've just closed it with a lead, but whatever. I still fucking love this band.
My dear friend Amanda and I are going to the Maryland Deathfest tomorrow. Pentagram hits the stage at 7:30 PM. Say hi if you see us there! xo

Sorry for all of the hands-on-hair shots; it was very windy today and my hair was being difficult as shit.
Today, I received a care package from Obesity & Speed containing this amazingly fucking cool dress, a t-shirt, a printed tote bag, and even a teeny tiny skull & pentagram blue t-shirt for the little one. Thank you so very much to the incredibly sweet people at O&S .. I love everything!

Vintage Hendrix Experience shirt, Zara denim cutoffs, Miu Miu halter clogs, Margiela canvas bag, various accessories.
I won this Forever 21 cross ring from Closet Obsessions ... since they're now going for like $100 on eBay and I missed out when F21 first started selling them, I was so stoked to win! Neighboring rings: Pamela Love cross, custom or vintage sterling silver designs; Ray Ban sunglasses.
Since Bobby (who is responsible for all of the photography on this blog) is on tour, JF graciously agreed to snap some photos for me at the park today. We had a lot of fun!
I really can't get enough of these Miu Mius. They're very comfortable and look so good with everything. I wore them the other day while visiting my mom, and her eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw what I was walking in while pregnant. I swear they're a breeze!
I really love this bag. That shade of teal is one of my favorites, and I dig the black airbrushed effect. It holds a lot of shit and the shoulder strap is really comfortable as well.
I got this super soft vintage shirt on the cheap from eBay ... I love the full color print, and obviously I love the Experience.
My new F21 cross ring, custom sterling silver wire skull ring, vintage onyx/sterling ring.
JF is one of the dearest, most special people in my life. We have been very close for about seven years. You don't find a lot of people in this world like Josh. Thank you JF for helping me out today. &hearts
I'll soon be hosting a giveaway for an incredible custom piece by Summer Adeline Jewelry, which normally retails at around $300. In the meantime, check out her site to get a little taste of what you're in for. Her creations are truly remarkable.
Miuccia Prada Live Alive "tour" shirt by Sandberg&Timonen for Branchfield Gallery, my own DIY denim vest, custom "alligator" tie-dyed leggings, Rick Owens boots, vintage Balenciaga sunglasses, See By Chloe blue leather hobo.
Can you tell I'm really stoked on this shirt? Well, I am. I had meant to order one of these when they came out months ago, but just never got around to it. A couple of weeks ago I emailed Branchfield Gallery asking if there were any left (fat chance), and they had ONE -- in the Muiccia Prada print, no less! I loved all the versions of this shirt; it's such a cheeky, stupid concept that Sandberg&Timonen managed to make really badass. Plus, 100% of the proceeds went towards relief in Haiti. Mine will be all worn thin by the end of the summer, for sure.
It rained yesterday AND today ... what a total buzzkill.
I don't use this bag very often, but I should. I really enjoy the magnetic closure, soft royal blue leather, and quirky gold hardware. Claw necklace by Blood Milk
I love these vintage Balenciaga tinted shades .. they have octagonal frames, which is what sold me on them, clearly. Despite the purple color scheme, they get a lot of use from me.
More black metal propaganda paired with Chloe & Rick Owens ... to piss you off, of course:
Always a good way to conclude a post ;) Rings by Chanel, Pamela Love, and other custom designs paired with a resurrected handcuff bracelet, chain bracelet by Juicy Couture, custom etched sterling bangle.
