Stay Sick Clothing

If you are a fan of hardcore, metal music, or you've been reading this blog very long, you may know of the band Attila.  A while ago, their vocalist Chris Fronzak started his own clothing line Stay Sick.

I've always really liked the line and around new years eve, I finally ordered a crew neck shirt I had been ogling for quite some time. This past Friday, it arrived!

I love it!  It fits perfectly and is exactly what I was hoping it would be.  I was slightly disappointed with the extended amount of time that it took for it to be shipped (I ordered it on December 31st, and my order wasn't officially processed and ready to ship for 23 days) but it was definitely worth the wait.

If you would like to check out Stay Sick's other items you can do so here.

Outfit and Story Time!

I haven't done an outfit post in quite some time, and since I don't have any other ideas right now, I thought I do my first of 2013!

I wore this outfit somewhere around the first of November.  It was a pretty long while ago but I remember it because it's literally one of my favorite outfits.  It was also something I wore when I was coming out of a very stressful and difficult time.  I had been so physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted for such a long time, and I had finally decided to pull myself up by my boot straps and move forward.

I was finally feeling confident and happy again, (not because of this outfit, but because of the state of mind I was in when I wore it) and I have been ever since :)

Christmas Photos

This post is a little bit late, but oh well!

I spent the first half of Christmas Eve with relatives eating and having a grand ole' time.  We we got home that evening, I hung out with my mom and nana and took some photos.

After we took our "aren't we fancy" photos, I quickly changed into a band shirt and put my hair in pigtails!

We then took more photos and started opening presents!

My new favorite shirt!

And the back of it!

We still do "santa" presents on Christmas morning as well!

Best key ring ever!  It flashes and makes a shutter sound!

I got some awesome gifts and spent my holiday with my favorite people in the world.  I had an amazing Christmas and hope everyone else did too!!

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a wonderful New Years Eve and I wish everyone a very happy new year!

Cause The Lights They Shine So Bright

Anyone else enjoy that Guns N' Roses reference? Good.

Over Thanksgiving break I started a project in my room that was originally meant to just be for the holiday season.  I bought four or five strands of white Christmas lights from Walmart and covered by entire room in them.  Now that I have them done, I think I will be leaving them up year round :)

This is how it turned out:

Hope everyone enjoyed this little photo spam of my room!

Tarot

I have been interested in Tarot for quite some time now.  A few weeks ago, I decided to give it a shot and bought my first Tarot deck.  I bought the Crystal Visions deck by Jennifer Galasso.

I thought this deck was exceptionally beautiful.  I've been learning the meanings for each card and so far, I've really enjoyed it!

Because I've been so interested, my nana bought me the Steampunk Tarot deck for Christmas

The book that comes with this deck is detailed and very helpful.

Does anyone else read Tarot or have an interest in it?

What I'm Reading

Being the nerd that I am, I of course asked for multiple books for Christmas.  The one that I was most excited to start reading was Enshadowed by Kelly Creagh.

This is the second book in the Nevermore series and so far is absolutely wonderful and everything I hoped it would be.  

The first book, Nevermore, is one of my favorites of all time.  It's well written and is an extremely heart wrenching tale.  It has the basic start of the cheerleader who is paired with the goth kid for a school project and begins to fall in love with him.

Sound typical? It's not at all.

The story takes twists you wouldn't expect and constantly has you on the edge of your seat.

The best part?

Edgar Allen Poe and his works are an integral part of the books plot.  The book is laced with Poe's poems, his history, and the mystery that surrounded his death.

I don't want to give anything away, so I'll just say that Nevermore is a must read, as well as its sequel Enshadowed.  I highly recommend it.

Has anyone else read either of these books?  If so, let me know what you think!  I love hearing other peoples thoughts and opinions on books.
