Be glad, its plaid

This month I'm beginning to obsess over plaid shirts. Vintage & second hand shops have tonnss of them!! I buy them planning to sell but once I try them on I can't let them go. I bought this purple one last week and when i returned this week I bought a red one with other cool colors. The purple one is my favorite shirt this month.

I know this is a little late but they grew on me & now i want the lame leggings from american apparel really bad....

Whats your favorite tee this month?? Anybody...

So much to do...

These days, I will be here. You should be here too. Buy your tickets soon, i hear from "an inside source" that they are selling quicker than they usually do.

Hope everyone has a great week!

The first one was added tonight to monikapolitan.com they are $7.99 and only ONE of each design is made. Here's the details:

New At Monikapolitan.com

There are some new creatures I've added on Monikapolitan.com. A few vintage purses are left but for the most part they are sold out. More will be added this week. If you see one you really want snatch it! They go quickly! Tons of thanks to everyone who has purchased from monikapolitan.com you guys rock my world!!! I will be selling my items at the pharr convention center on the 17th i believe at the open market that is held there once a month. More details later on.

2008 Spring Couture

Coming in this season is some exciting stuff here i have picked a few reasonable trends that will more than likely come to a store near you:

Florals

Stripes seem to be making a 4th comeback, only this time they are thinner and more seperated

Girlie outfits with ruffles, lace, bows & headbands (as seen on gossip girl's fashionistas)

These are just some of my favorites. Tons more can be found at style.com

New at Monikapolitan

Just added to Monikapolitan.com today is the "partly cloudy necklace" Couldn't seem to get the right pictures of it but, it's late. Tomorrow I will try the sunlight. Don't forget that a couple vintage purses are ending today!! Go to myworld.ebay.com/monikapolitan to check them out before they go! There are also some for sale at Monikapolitan.com for you ebay haters.

"reeboks with the straps...apple bottom jeans"

I won some 80's vintage reeboks on ebay about a week ago and I can't stop singing that song everytime i see them. They are so freakin' cute. Then my bff/bf conveniently lets me know that reebok is bringing them back. THEENN i do some research and they've been back since like september and in like totally cool designs..where have these been hiding? Why didn't i know this before? I believe it is because ...I'll admit... I don't read as many magazines as i used to. But i'm getting back into it.

Cool or too much??

Not satisfied

Just as I was gradually starting to get into Urban Decay they release a new spokes person... the new "face of urban decay." And I swear I'm not a hater in any way but this girl...just bothers me. It all started with a rude video I saw on her blog...I never went back. The nylon & hipster community makes such a big deal about her being some "fashion god" but I just haven't been able to get sucked in yet.

What do you guys think? Yay or nay??

Jenjoydesigns

I hadn't noticed till now but jenjoydesigns.com tagged monikapolitan.com in a few of their photos!! She had purchased the piano necklace for a shoot and i've never seen monikapolitan.com look so damn good. If you haven't already, check out Jenjoydesigns.com...AMAZING STUFF I wish i could afford right now.

New at Monikapolitan.com

I went thrift shopping today. Found some realllly neat purses which are now for sale at monikapolitan.com I also added 2 new necklaces. Shop away! The parrot purse is my favorite...

The Future freaks me out

I am very excited (understatement) about Monikapolitan.com. Things are picking up and i'm working on taking Monikapolitan.com to the next level. If it all works out i think you will like what's "in store"

If you would like to invest in a damn good cd: "The Band of Horses" is for you. I like to think of them as The beatles of our era.

Be cool. stay in school.

New at Monikapolitan:

First of all: like most of you, I am very saddened about Heath Ledger's death today. I still can't wait to see him in Batman although it wont be the same.

I expanded my Monikapolitan.com website account which is why there is tons of new stuff. If you've been keeping up then you know I now have a new "vintage" section. I fixed it up neatly and added tons of beautiful purses today. Most of them are hard to let go, especially the quilted one, it reminds me of chanel but i did keep one for myself alreday :/ so that would be selfish to keep both. Here's what's new in VINTAGE I hope you all enjoy...

Save the highschool drama for yo mamma

If you've been to a dontgetemo concert or haven't but wished you did, please go to this link and leave your thoughts. The secret handshake, halos & many local bands were featured and some stc kids were interviewed by themonitor.com (the valleys most popular newspaper) and featured in a cool video. You even get to see the coffetti flying out to the crowd.
