WHAT i WORE : NUCLEAR CiTiZENS

Happy October! I can't believe how fast this year is going. October is my favorite month so I'm going to do my best to get a few Halloween posts up. 

I love hunting for cool products and art so when I found Josh Ln's Nuclear Citizens artwork I kind of fell in love. Like most, I grew up with the Simpsons and they have been a part of my life since 1987 when they appeared on the Tracey Ullman Show. The Simpsons were some of the first characters I would draw on everything. I even painted a giant Bart for an art contest in elementary school but was disqualified because I didn't create the character. I was in 4th grade, I just wanted to draw Bart Simpson! I actually still have the painting I did, I'll see if I can find it.

Okay, so back to this illustration, it's very Treehouse of Horror in feeling which I love so I though it would be perfect for Halloween. I loved the look of the overall printed shirt but hadn't ordered a shirt from Society6 before so I wasn't sure how well it was going to print. Unfortunately my first shirt arrived with some printing errors I just couldn't ignore. You have to be aware when printing these kinds of shirts that there will be some imperfections but there were too many for me to ignore but Society6 will re print and ship you out a new order free of change if you are unhappy! Thankfully my next shirt looked much better and I'm pretty happy with the quality. 

SHIRT AVAILABLE HERE

Josh has other products available with this print so be sure to check them out! Have a wonderful week!

TOYS AND OUTFITS

A lot of the time when I post "Toy a Day" photos on Instagram or my toy blog, I will match what I'm wearing to the toy. I pretty much have a color palette I make for that day. I may be matching my hair, or a holiday, or anything that comes to mind. I play "dress up" everyday. Well unless I'm sick... no, I'd probably be dressed like a giant bear or other random creature in one of my kigurumi onsies. So yes, I play dress up every single day. 

Yesterday I posted one of Doug's toys, a KAWS Boba Fett Companion. I had also matched my outfit to him but didn't have a chance to take any photos until night time which is never when I prefer to take an outfit photo but you work with what you got! Here is some of yesterday.

I really don't do any of these photos for any reason other than to entertain myself and keep me creating. Hopefully they inspire others to play with their clothing more. Creating outfits is one of my favorite things in the world to do. Hope you enjoy them :)

XOXO,

Sara

WHAT i WORE // HAPPY DECEMBER

Happy first of December! I hope everyones holiday so far have been great and hopefully a little relaxing or if nothing else I hope you ate a ton. I know I did and it was amazing! I am more than ready for the holidays to be over though because that means I will be moving forward with my life and I couldn't be more excited about it.

I'm so sorry for my lack of posts lately. I should be back to a more normal schedule after the holidays and can get back to thing that I enjoy like sharing art, artist, and products that inspire me. I mentioned that I am going to be moving so packing up a 4 bedroom home and working has taken up all of my time. My house looks nothing like it did before with just some furniture still out and random piles of things I'm still sorting through to let go of. Because of all of this, I haven't had time nor the motivation to do much else. There are so many projects I what to work on but they will have to wait until next year. 

It's a little early but I was in the holiday spirit so I dressed the part and took a few photos.

WHAT I WORE // CAT SOCKS

Good morning and happy Monday! I wanted to post some outfits from over this past weekend. I've met a lot of my friends and people in my life through the internet because for many years I wasn't able to get out of my house that often so it was my connection to the rest of the world. Well I've meet some truly wonderful caring people and quite a lot of those people I met through Instagram! I've always loved taking photos so it was just natural that I would get quite obsessed with this app on my phone. Well one of those friends was so kind and sent me an awesome package filled with wonderful surprises! One of them were these awesome cat socks!!! It's no secret I love cats and I love cute products that have cats on them. I have a nice collection of socks that keep growing and these might be my favorite so far. They even have little ears! Thank you SO much Laura! You are the sweetest! 

I always layer clothing to add color, length or just because its getting colder and I want more clothing on :) So what you're seeing in the above photo is actually a skirt under my dress. I do this a lot.

WHAT I WORE // PUG BAG

I haven't actually put real clothes on all week. Haven't been feeling so great but I just got this bag today and needed to share. I'm really missing my boyfriend who lives across the US from me and currently is in Germany being awesome as usual filming stuff. He has a pug, Coco, who looks just like this bag so I kind of needed the bag in my life to be here when they can't :)

WHAT I WORE // FLORAL & STRIPES

I'm not really sure what happened but up until this year I never really owned or wore anything with flowers on it. I love floral patterns, I just used them as a designer all day when I created greeting cards and never looked at them quite the same. Florals are always a trend in products and fashion it's just the styles and colors that change. I've collected research of floral products for years and I guess just recently I started gravitating towards certain looks and begun adding flowers into my closet. I've been trying to style them so they are still "me" and I'm really having fun combining different colors and patterns with the flowers. This skirt has lovely colorful birds integrated in which is what made me love it more. The part I love the most though, it has POCKETS! Dresses and skirts with pockets are always a plus.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Thanks for stoping by I really appreciate it! I'll have more posts coming that are not outfit post because who wants to see this ghost all the time, ha! Lot of toys and artists on the way! 

All the love,

-Sara

WHAT I WORE // STRIPES FOREVER

One of my best friends, Sandi (Creatively Curated) got me out of my house the other day for lunch and I'm glad she did. I work from my home now and I'm pretty far out from most shopping and food areas so I don't leave my home too often. When I walk outside I start squinting and try to hide from the burning rays of sunlight hitting my transparent skin, ha. I'm pretty much a cave dwelling creature even though I love nature and being outdoors. 

Sandi wanted to take some outfit photos and I love taking picture and eating lunch with a good friend so I got up, threw on stripes, and headed down to the West Bottoms in Kansas City. Then I kicked her ass for making me put real clothes on that day. Okay, not really. She would totally win in a fight.

WHAT I WORE // HEARTS

I kind of have an obsession with rompers. I have to admit, a pain in the ass when you have to go to the rest room, but I'll sacrifice for cute. I've had this saved in one of my Pinterest boards forever and couldn't find one that wasn't out of stock but...I don't give up and found one at ABADAY. I love it! I wish it came in different colors.

WHAT I WORE // ALL THE LACE

I can get a bit carried away playing with clothes. I've always loved fashion and for a long time wanted to design clothing. Actually that never went away, I still would love to do that but for now I just play dress up like a 5 year old. These things make me happy and it's a huge source of inspiration. Everyday I can pretend I'm in a fairy tail, video game, movie...I've always wished Halloween was everyday and I see no reason not to pretend that it is :)

There is not much I do that's not based around color. It's just part of me. I match everything and I am always combining colors, objects, and patterns just because it's fun. It was also a huge part of my career in the past because I had to be very accurate at color and printing. And I don't mean to brag but I'm a master at matching exact colors by eye, ha! I'm such a nerd! This matching always happens with my clothes and I just go with it. No reason to fight the crazy.

Have a great day!

So here is my very first outfit post on here and what better way to start it off then on Batman Day celebrating the Dark Knights 75th anniversary! Batman has always been my favorite comic and although I may have a bit of a larger love for Joker, Batman is a close second.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BATMAN!
