Psycho Sisters

Hey hey hey! Alright, so yesterday was my mom's birthday! Yay!!!! Mom, who happens to be my Miracle Eye parter, I love you! Seriously, thank you for putting up with my weird ass style, humor, and lifestyle.. You're the best. Aside from working for Miracle Eye and making every single amazing garment (aside from the turbans.. yours truly makes those, heh.), she also makes alterations for people upon request! Natalia, my cousin, was invited to the Golden Globes. For those of you who don't live in the US or just don't watch television in general (Go you! Television suxxx), it's an award ceremony where tons of attractive celebrities go and receive pointless awards for their terrible acting skills, rapping skills, shit like that. Natalia went to a thrift store and purchased this red-orange paisley, sequin filled skirt that literally fit her 10 sizes too big. It was huge, and I mean huuuuuge.. So of course, she brought it over, and my mom worked her magic on it and TA DA! It was turned into a flattering form-fitting dress. Incredible. I'll include a photo in this post of it, it's seriously crazy how she turned this really large, wide, and weird looking skirt into a breathtaking dress!

Also, what do you guys think of my new hair? Nice huh?

JK! GOTCHA! HA! HA HA! But in all seriousness, fellow blogger/soul-mate Isabel purchased the same wig I am wearing here and she is totally rockin' it. I'll include photos of her outfit as well. Ha, I think it's safe to say that REAL friends buy matching wigs. I mean, if you don't have matching wigs, you don't have anything, right? PS, we purchased the wig on eBay for like $15 or something. Are we winning? Wait, that was rhetorical, OF COURSE WE ARE! *chuckling slowly fading away while simultaneously turning you from a calm frog into a paranoid kangaroo..*

Mom and Dad, I love you guys SO much. Also, my mom was wearing a Miracle Eye skirt on her birthday! Wooohoo!!

This is the dress I spoke about in the above paragraph! God, my mom is so talented and my cousin is gooooorgeous.

Lastly, here is my homegirl Isabel wearing the same wig I am! We kind of purchased them at the same time online, it was like an online shopping spree that gals do together, because you know how normal people totally do that. I love this girl to death, seriously. Go check out her blog because if you like my style, you will DEFINITELY love hers. Her shirt, her socks, gimmmee! PS did I mention that she has a really weird obsession rappers who happen to be male, in their late-30's, and Latino? She likes Daddy Yankee and Sean Paul (I think he's Spanish.. not sure, but who cares!). But she LOVES Pitbull. She's got quite the music taste..

The future we've found, to stay here on higher ground

Hi guys! You can officially say (this is past due), that I'm obsessed with yin and yang.. Just look at my t-shirt dress, ha. I bought this baby off of Etsy, it's orange ombre hand-dyed and super soft. Ugh, I love it so much. Again, I apologize for the shit quality of these photos but I will admit that I am digging the 'soft' look these in particular have. My mom took these right before I went to bed (I look exhausted) since all day long I hadn't taken my camera and we were out from the morning till late at night. PS do you like my nails? I painted them to match this dress :)

Wake up, you're dead!

It is finally Friday, the best day of the week! My week consists of the following: fabric stores, the library, post office, thrift stores, and the craft store. That's it. Yep. Ya heard right! Larissa sure has a life! But I really do, because sometimes my friends accompany me. Or one friend in particular, Byron! He is da best and if you're reading this Byron (which you probably are), you sure are the best! Usually he's the one who's taken the outdoor photos of me like the ones in this post (aside from the Miracle Eye ones, those are by my mom or sister)! So with that being said, all of those things listed above take up my time during the day and I don't start heading home until late at night, soooo I apologize on my behalf (and Byron) for the shitty quality of these photos. I mean it was literally pitch black, you have no idea how much I had to screw around with curves on Photoshop, but avoided going to bright to the point where it would get all grainy and the colors fade then get all purple and I'm just blabbing on for no reason, blab blab blab. Blab.

Well anyways, hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Also, I got this super amazing yin yang necklace with this aura on the center piece! So perfect. Unfortunately from the photos that were taken, the close ups were complete crap, but I've included a gif of the necklace taken at home :)

Now that we're on the topic of yin and yang.. I made the shirt below two nights ago! New graphic t-shirts (like this one) coming soon to Miracle Eye as well as men's vintage! Yes, you heard right! MENS! Yeus. I've already got a model and some clothes. I just need the time to shoot him in it and we're all set. So excited, so please stay tuned!

Sweet video montage I made of my usual days here Downtown, enjoy!

Midnight City

Hi! It's 2012 already! Meaning the apocalypse is coming, sweet! My new years was really good! I was with the best people and it was just great. This outfit is living proof that my style doesn't just stick to one theme. I mean I'm obviously more consistent with my dark outfits, but I respect nearly every style there is (excluding Minimalism.. how the heck can you call a plain black blouse with a red mini skirt an entire outfit? What thought process was there? Being in rush because you're about to hit rush hour traffic since you just have to stop off at that hip coffee stand to see if one of your cute male co-workers from the office is there too isn't an excuse either).
