today

[me today 10.5.2010]

i will gush about my black pumpkin pail.  i used to have one when i was little, and like most things, through the years it was misplaced and then dubbed "lost".  now, i remember when you would see these everywhere that the pumpkin pails were sold.  every year.  never fail.  that is until you want to replace it.  once i started to look for them, they were no where to be found.  i even trolled ebay and various halloween message boards and livejoural communities in hopes that someone could spot one for me, or sell one to me.  nothing.  that is until this year walking through the mostly disappointing halloween section in target, and low and behold... my pumpkin pail.  i even sat down and went through all of them to pick the one that i thought had the best paint job....sad huh?

they remind me of vintage halloween, i think that is why i love them so much.  

and why not pucker up to it wearing the coveted MAC Venomous Villains "violetta" from the maleficent collection <3

love

new find

[20 eyelet-no-inside-zipper-gripfast-happiness 9.13.2010]

i have been without a good pair of boots for almost a year since my trusted new rocks finally died(december 2001-october 2009).  i am very picky when it comes to finding new boots, and most that i like end up having the tacky inside zipper.  the way i see it, if you're going to have combat boots, suck it up with the lacing ;}.   

friday jeremi and i went to my parents house to see if we could find our tennis rackets there.  i was rummaging around in the upstairs sewing room and found these boots.  they belonged to my little sister when she went through her "goth phase" in high school probably 12+ years ago now...wow.   when she got these i opted for the shorter 14eyelet pair.  she managed to wear these out just long enough to scuff the toes to hell. with some sharpie and a change of the lacing, new life was breathed back into these.
