Today's Goodies

I went on a little shopping trip today with my Mom. It was fun. I picked up a set of 4 Marilyn Monroe glasses. I love them. Pictures soon. I also got some cute black booties as well.

Moving on. I went and picked up a few items so I could make the necklace I wanted. And without further ado here is the necklace I made. What it's made of: The heart is made of Paua Shell, the sparrow is brass, and the other 2 charms that say Create and Inspire are also made of brass. I used a suede cord and used brass crimp ends and a lobster claw clasp to finish it off rather than knotting the suede.

I really loved how it turned out.

Now on to my next little haul. I picked up some Hard Candy make-up and a bow headband that I can potentially use for my Gaga costume. Here are the pictures:

Lipstick in Fire Alarm- It's a nude with a bit of sparkle.
Ginormous Lash Volumizing Mascara in Carbon Black
2 Foiled again Metallic Shadow Sticks in Celestine and Glimpse
The headband is by LuLu

I also saw these fabulous shoes by Steve Madden in Leopard print. I didn't buy them but I took some pictures of me wearing them haha. I would have loved to have them, but you know you can't have everything. I wear a size 7 just in case anyone wants to give me a present haha!
Goodnight lovies!

Tattoos

Surprise, surprise I have a tattoo.

This is something I swore up and down I would never do. I couldn't imagine something so permanent being on my body. After a certain amount of time I thought about it and felt like something that pertains to my art and myself was a good way to go and I wanted to get a tattoo.
Originally I got a small hand drawn heart that use when I sign my art work on my wrist. I was so proud of it.

As you can see it was very tiny. After several months if faded considerably and I wanted to add more to it. I thought about this addition for a long time and this is what happened...




I got a self drawn font and another matching heart tattooed on my wrist. This tattoo manifested for so many reasons. You need to remember to be loved, give love, and love yourself. Otherwise life will not be nearly what you wish for it to be. So BE LOVE, radiate it!

How do you guys feel about tattoos? Are they taboo to you or beautiful?
