Little Erika


1. Pre-Gossip girl and Blair Waldorf, yet already having a fondness for headbands. The beach was always our Summer family thing. I think I was around 8 here.


2. With my Mom and Mickey Mouse at Walt Disney World, sometime in the mid-1980's. I was about 3 here. My ever stylish Mom wore heels even to Disney World back then. Can you believe it?? And I think she may still have those same sunglasses too.


3. Ahhh balloons at an award ceremony in 5th grade. I remember being so nervous about walking on stage that day. Talk about shy!


4. At Miami Metro Zoo. It was my 7th Birthday Party there. Even way back when I loved my floral print dresses (and ponies!)


5. Here he is! My 8 years younger brother. This was taken when he was 2 and when I was 10. You all know him as the photographer behind many of my outdoor blog photos. Ahhh, I miss that Bambi t-shirt.


6. I'm about 5 or 6 years old in this one. I was quite the rambunctious little girl. Quite the handful. Can't you tell?? HA HA. Here I am with "Mr. Whale" in the pool wearing one of my favorite bathing suits.

I hope you all enjoyed this little trip down "memory lane" that I am more than happy to share with all of you, my lovely readers!

Skull Heart



After receiving many inquiries on the detailed skulls making up the heart on my tee from yesterday's post, I decided to take a picture. Here it is. CLICK for a more in depth, close up look of the teeny, tiny cute (yet "hardcore" haha) skulls.

Label on Tee: Ideal, thank you "S" for sending it my way. =]

GORGEOUS!!

The World is a Vampire ......







Right before Christmas, "S" (of ModernGuilt) and I decided to have a clothing swap. The second I pulled this black t-shirt out of the box, I saw the brilliant red heart on it. I knew at that very moment that I loved it. At closer inspection, I realized that the "heart" was indeed made up of teeny, tiny skulls; and that's when I decided to refer to it as my Billy Corgan / Smashing Pumpkins t-shirt. So, Billy, this one's for you!! =] The button beanie, made by Knight Cat, inspired by Ali Michael, really helped set me in a punk-ified mood. Cat, I love this hat!!



The video is pretty much *silent. I suggest letting the blog song ("Everything Will be Alright" by The Killers - play while you watch.)


T-shirt: Ideal. Skirt: Behnaz Sarafpour for Target. Tights: Inc Marine. Rings: forever 21 and vintage. Button Beanie: Knight Cat. Heels: Go Jane.

i can't help but wonder...

I love this piece and I just can't exactly figure out why. I know that the fashion world is loving it too, so I am curious to know why you guys are so attracted to it. Please share...

The Monday Seven


  1. I love hearing ghost stories, yet, afterward I find myself not wanting to be alone and a need to sleep with the lights on!
  2. Heels are my addiction. Shoes in general. Help!?
  3. Late at night is when I get the munchies. I'll usually end up snacking on just about everything.
  4. My favorite day of the week is Thursday.
  5. I used to collect Barbie dolls as a little girl. I even played with them until I was almost 13, before giving them all away to my younger cousins.
  6. Cereal is the best food ever, especially with evaporated milk.
  7. My iPod is a collection of memories. Each song has a different meaning.
