My Crown, My Glory, My Denim Vest

You know when you find that awesome denim vest at the thrift store and immediately your brain is filled with thoughts of how you can give it a make over, well this is my vest. Honestly not only a vest, it's more like my favorite item of clothing. I love it because I have completely made it my own. Wearing it makes me feel powerful. Kind of like when a biker puts on their leather jacket, this vest represents who I am and what I like. My favorite part is adding stuff to it. I have already added studs and pins but I felt like it needed more color. So I sewed on some sequin.

Gift Guide: What To Get That Weird Girl In Your Family Who Doesn't Like Anything.

Receiving a bad gift has got to be the most awkward situation to be in. Think about it, it's Christmas morning, your in the living room with your entire family, the little ones are screaming their heads off fighting over gifts, then your tia Mary hands you a shiny red box with a tag that reads " To: Adriana, From: Santa," like i'm not old enough to realize that Santa doesn't exist? I'm 24 not 6, I figured it out like a long time ago! Anyways, so you smile and politely thank your tia, you hold the gift on your lap and hope they won't make you open it on the spot, but you know that's not possible. "Open your gift mija," your tia Mary insists. Ughhh. So you open the gift, low and behold, the gift sucks.You fake a smile and say "OMG it's exactly what I wanted!" But really, you cant wait to hide it in the back of your closet, never to be seen in public again. It's not that you expected to receive something awesome like a new pair of Jeffrey Campbell's or this, but at least something that isn't lame,Right? I am not being picky, i'm just surprised that my family members thought it would be a good idea to give me a pink fluffy beanie with a playboy bunny symbol on the side? Do you even know me? So don't be a lame gift giver, and try giving that weird girl in your family something she will actually like. Trust me, I would know.

iTunes

iTunes gift cards are on point. If she's weird and you don't understand her it's because she probably always has her headphones on, which means she more than likely has an iPod, which also must mean she likes music and therefore she will love an iTunes gift card.

$8

Etsy

As I always say, "The weirder the better," and these nail decals may just be the perfect gift for that angsty little bitch in your family who is giving you a hard time and making you surf the web just so you can find her a gift that she wont hate. This is it right here.

Hot Topic

I mean come on 'Brony' or not, how could any one deny these ear buds? They are precious! I'm sure every song that plays out of these is great.

Barnes and Nobel

I have never received a book as a gift, like EVER! Which is really surprising because apparently my family members would rather me walk around wearing a fluffy pink beanie with a playboy bunny symbol on the side than read a book. Interesting.

Yes Please: Gamaray Pack

When I'm bored I like to day dream that I am a super hero, flying around town, fighting crime one criminal at a time. Sometimes I like to dream that I can eat all the ice cream in the world. And other times I just like to day dream that I have unlimited access to every clothing store in the world and when I walk in the sales associates greet me and say " Hello Adriana, feel free to take everything you want," and I would respond and say some thing like, "Cool. Don't mind if I do". But surely I'm not the only one who dreams that, right? If I had access to every store in the world with the power to take what ever I want, I think it would blow my mind. I would have a mental break down, fall down to my knees and scream at the top of my lungs unintelligible phrases. Then of course I would be escorted out by the armed forces and permanently stripped of my shopping privileges, and nobody wants that! So to save myself the trouble, I would only take one item per store. But It would have to be real special and shiny like this Gammaray backpack by UNIF. I would be one happy dreamer if I left my day dream with this item. :)
