SPIT ME OUT/asos double chain ear cuff

Wearing a cuff that Jerrmaner bought me for my birthday.  I have to admit...when I first took this piece out of the bag, I was like "WTF?!"  And not in a good way.  He assured me that I could return the rejected cuff, but after time, I kind of opened up to the idea of having one ear chained to the other.  Yes...that's right...one ear cuff attaches to the other with several chains running under your chin.  I know...it's quite the contraption, but definitely something Jerrmaner would pick out.

MADE OF METAL/hardware as ear wear

I discovered these cute screw earrings at Nordstrom.  Layering them up seemed to be the best idea...and to my surprise, I remembered that I had pierced my ear for the third time when I was 12.  Yes...it's been a long time since my third hole has actually been used.  But it works perfectly now...as I layer a zipper, a screw and a diamond (that would make a cool album name if you were ever to release an album).  Try the links below...they work and they are cool.

MAGICAL UNICORN/h&m unicorn top

I became obsessed with the idea of adding more unicorns to my life a few weeks ago after seeing a salt at Hazel & Dewey called Magic Unicorn Sea Salt.  I did not purchase this salt, but I often like to dream of it.  I like to believe that the grains of salt are colors of the rainbow and that everywhere it is sprinkled, magic is spread.  

In the midst of daydreaming, I have acquired some unicorns of my own.  The first purchase being this top.  What could be more magically divine than leaping horses and unicorns in an array of colors?!  I was quickly enchanted by this top.  Plus...that little pink cutie in front had me at "hello."

LUCKY NUMBER 13/margiela for h&m flat jacket

We had a lucky break this weekend...we went back to H&M and scored several Margiela pieces for $5-$20 a piece...I'm serious...I would not joke about something like this.  It was truly a New Year's miracle! 

So...I purchased the flat jacket.  I like it, but I wish it was a size smaller.  I'm not going to complain though because it was $20.  Also, I was able to wear it over this vintage Mickey sweatshirt that I also found this weekend.  I was so excited when I found my childhood Mickey Mouse sweatshirt at my mom's house this weekend.  But I couldn't just wear it sweatshirt style...had to be worn with massive rhinestone earrings and a fancy corsage.

DIVINE DUVET/margiela for h&m duvet coat

Well...here it is...my duvet coat from H&M.  This was not a "love at first sight" scenario, but after a few weeks of knowing that this item was living at the Cherry Creek mall getting no attention, I knew I had to go and make it my own.  Do I regret it?  Not at all.  Because it took a while for me to become fond of it, I believe that this is more than just a fleeting romance.  

I am wearing my coat with the cover on.  And yes, just like a regular duvet,  it was a two man job putting the cover on this coat.  Jerrmaner and I had to team up in a wide open space to make this happen, but the result is quite exquisite...in fact, I had not yet seen this coat photographed with the cover on.

As I've mentioned before, it's been cold here in Denver.  I know I cannot complain too much because it is much colder in other parts of the world.  And any excuse to whip out my fur hats is much appreciated.

With the apparent doomsday approaching, this photo seems appropriate.  Actually, doomsday had nothing to do with this photo (from my perspective)...I actually took my inspiration from a Helmut Newton photo.  Jerrmaner and I went to a Helmut Newton exhibit in Paris earlier this year and as I recap on the year's highlights, I find myself revisiting that event.  

And...yes, I purchased one more piece from the Margiela for H&M collection.  I can't help it!  This collection stands lonely in our Cherry Creek mall and I can't help but take such pieces under my wing.

FACELESS/margiela x h&m extended watch belt

I bought the last bit of my Margiela for H&M purchases last night.  It's hard to believe that such an amazing collection went on sale so quickly.  But I'm not complaining because I was able to get the duvet coat and this wonderful extended watch belt.  

Also wearing a slip that I purchased at a craft show yesterday.  I love it!  The woman that makes them buys vintage slips and tie-dyes them.  Ummm...I think I'm in love.  I purchased a cami and this skirt slip, but I hope I run into her again so that I can purchase many more pieces.

PAPER OR PLASTIC?/maison martin margiela for h&m plastic shopping bag

When I purchased the most recent batch of my Maison Martin Margiela x H&M, the girl that checked me out informed me that she was giving me a very special bag.  She told me that if I follow the instructions at the bottom of the bag, my little plastic bag could become a tank top.  Say what?!!  What a brilliant idea!!  I started to think of all the possibilities available with any plastic bag that I get at the stores...could it be possible to design a whole wardrobe around this idea?!  Well...I wouldn't go that far, but adding a few plastic bag tops to my wardrobe isn't a bad idea.  

I opted to not cut the armholes out completely and wear this plastic bag as an off-the-shoulder top.

I'VE GOT A GOLDEN TICKET/maison martin margiela for h&m candy wrapper clutch

Well...maybe it's not golden, but I definitely felt super lucky to score one of these Maison Martin Margiela for H&M candy wrapper clutches.  I had my heart set on the silver!  

This clutch was the absolute must-have piece from the collection for me.  I sent my mom to get it while I was working...lucky for me, the collection hasn't been that popular in Denver.  I seem to keep going back for more every few days..in fact, I am probably due for another visit.  Stay tuned for many more posts featuring this exceptional collection.

MODERATELY INVISIBLE/maison martin margiela for h&m brown leather boots with invisible heel

I'm sure everyone is as excited as me about the Maison Martin Margiela for H&M collection.  Yes, the collection is absolutely flawless...and you almost wonder if they skimped at all on production costs.  It's perfect, right?  I thought so.  And so...I decided to purchase a few items.  

Here's a couple of my purchases from the collection...
