College ruins lives...

I have a business plan and a test tomorrow and I gave up my free kid rock tickets to get things done :/ College is so hectic around this time and I needed a major kick so I bought myself a coffee. College is over next wednesday. I can't wait for my brownsville and STC events! There will be some juicy stuff so check my myspace calendar to see when you can find me near you...


This year I didn't really find the time or need to get dressed & waste outfits for school, unless i'de wake up extremely early or had to present in front of the class but that was rare. Today didn't change much either but I did wear my Vintage Reeboks for the 4th time since i've got them and thought a picture was neccessary.

Vintage Reeboks- Ebay
Heart Sunglasses that you can't see- Monikapolitan.com...real dirtay.

Customers who have emailed me... sorry for late responses or slacking on local drop offs but all will change once next week is over. I promise.

P is for pink flamingo

I love how forever21 is slowly but surely turning into a cheaper version of Urban Outfitters. They now have cheasy items like cat in the hat address books, character mugs & eco friendly inspired totes...?? I'm not being sarcastic...I really love it. I think Urban outfitters is over-priced...sometimes.

WhoWhatWear sent me the most rad newsletter. I really want the LnA hot pink zipper leggings but wouldn't ever spend $110 on them unless I win that in Vegas. Now the Green Forever21 Fringe scarf is something I might purchase. I have been looking for a neat light summer scarf but I think I will keep on looking, I'm not really feeling those fringes (they look itchy)...





The Cake & Taco pouches by Fredflare have been re-stocked and the new cake rings are now for sale at monikapolitan.com...


Here are the colors of eye dusts and eye glitter I ordered. They should be coming in very soon. I know the colors are limited but the selection will grow, collect them all....


The Millionaires are practically sold out! :( More coming soon so you can pimp them real deluxe...

Spartan 101- Gladiator Sandals

...Aberazzi sent me some fun shots of the party moments after I typed the previous blog. I also want to share with you all what's coming next week to monikapolitan.com & a review of my gladiator sandals...

I bought the boys some gifts for their new house, one included the cute lil lion sippy cup i'm grasping onto, he was my bff all night. This is why I like to wear heels, I'm only 5 3'....


After the party I put my spartan cleaning services to use...
Once we cleaned up, there was no sign of human activity whatsoever.
GLADIATOR SANDALS FAQ- I didn't think many people would accept my new gladiator sandals but i've worn them twice here and i've gotten the most compliments than anything I own :D
-Besides "they remind me of the movie 300," alot of you ask where I got them and other questions so I figured I'de answer them here for those of you interested...
-I searched HIGH and LOW, your best bet is EBAY.
-No they aren't hard to put on because they have a zipper in the back so you don't have to buckle each little buckle.
-I usually find flat sandals very uncomfortable but I wore them the whole party and at the merceds event center all day and I think they are the most comfortable shoes I own.
-And on ebay you can find them in brown, black and white... even yellow and pink and such.
To Copy Cat:
Dress- American Apparel
Vest- Thrift store
Shoes- Ebay (search: Gladiator Sandals)
People in the background: Priceless


COMING SOON:
Now the good stuff. I can't stop providing you all with snazzy shades, I just know school is almost out which means beach time, vacations and swimming so I hope this is a favor. Coming next week ....

Young & Rich style

Zar had a house warming party that was up the heezy Friday Night, re-united bffs & flash wars. 1 hour and 30 min. of sleep and off we went to the Mercedes Event saturday morning. THANK YOU customers :D It was a happy ending. The wind was brootal with two zeros (and maybe a 4?) Pictures haven't circulated the web yet so the only picture of the night I have access to so far is one that our dear designer friend Gabriel took of all 3 of us (kind of)... Youngandrichstyle.com Check it out for super deluxe-ness.

If you missed me today in mercedes and don't live near brownsville for the show on may 15th at club faces then you can catch me here:

Gimme yo boxes!

Hi world. Today was overall a great day, a 96 on my Algerbra exam??!! wah wah wee wah. Right now Im just getting some final stuff together for the Mercedes event I will be selling at on saturday. I picked up some new vintage/thrift apparel & I want to keep it all but I wont. Now I have a request to make...

I want your cute empty food boxes!!!

We go through food boxes here like water but it still doesnt seem to be enough and I'm sure some of you have run into some really cute boxes that would be a good canidate as a Monikapolitan tag. So I am asking you valley kids: Once you are done with your boxes, instead of throwing them away, contact me I'll totally pick them up and give you a small discount on your next online purchase! If you are going to donate please make sure the boxes are extra cute like so....



Contact me if you have some boxes with pizzaaazzz!

Visit me saturday at the Mercedes civic center!!!

Are you real?

:::smack, smack::: I just woke up from a nap, went to the 106.3 Augustana "listener's lounge series" at hotspot today...It was a different kind of show, they have amazing voices.

Today I put my new fax machine to use and made 2 orders :D You can see this sweet stuff & vibrant eye dust shadows with cute lil pink brushes at Monikapolitan.com starting next week. Don't worry ladies, I also got the STICK IT for the eye dusts which ive heard works miracles..


Looks like bold prints and tights are not going anywhere for a while, they are only becoming trendier and bigger so are Heart-shaped sunglasses (wink wink...monikapolitan.com)

Visit me this saturday at the Mercedes Civic Center. I will have a good selection of ONE-OF-A-KIND vintage/thrift items. Everything is very reasonable and priced fair, the good will go fast so come early!

Well I think I'll go to boston...

Now comes the embarassment. I'm usually not liked this but my first experience at Austin's Beauty Bar was pretty snazzy. Its not arrogance or pride & I'm not shy but I have this "thing" when it comes to taking pictures with bands, celebrities and such (with the exception of adam brody) but beauty bar...beauty bar lived up to its name on saturday. Panic @ the disco's Brandon Urie was rubbin his stuff all over the dance floor, I couldn't resist.....

Did I mention Motion city soundtrack killed at the concert? Cause they did. Will these be big this summer? Cause Im totally prepared.


Monikapolitan.com scored a new event!
*Dont Forget: This saturday I will be at the Mercedes Civic center.Take yo $$$ if not catch me on may 18th at the DGE Forever the sickest kids show at stc (there will be shutter shades up tha heezy)

Happy Earth Day!

EDIT: TYPE IN "EARTHDAY" DURING CHECKOUT FOR YOUR 15% OFF!! Today only!

*When you order from Monikapolitan. com: Each one of your packages will include recycled tags and will be securely wrapped in recycled fashion paper!

I have piles of piles of boxes of everything from packaging boxes to yogurt boxes & tons of magazines. I refuse to throw them away because I know they can and will be used. Ironicly as I'm typing this E! News is on talking about celebrities who have "been or gone green" & todays myspace homepage is dedicated to Earth day. I'm not a major tree hugger but I do try to do simple things like unpluging all MY un-used appliances before I walk out the door & use recycled cereal boxes and such for my monikapolitan.com tags. Global Warming has always been a big deal... I think we are finally starting to open our eyes, we fu***d up a looong time ago, but I want to believe it is never to late.


For earth day I made a cute sign out of cardboard and old magazines for my clothes/purse rack that will be used at events I sell at...


This is a cute little unicorn & rainbow scarf type of deal I found at the thrift shop yesterday...

Brandon Urie liked my headband...

Thrriiiiffft shopping after class today led to one big pile of new mess to add to my work space. Most of this stuff I will be selling at the next events (not at monikapolitan.com) However, there is still some vintage left over from my last trip you can purchase.

This vest & sequins top will be mine for keeps..
Cute lil barbie lunchbox & mickey mouse wallet along with all this other stuff will all be part of my VINTAGE/THRIFT selection THIS SATURDAY at the Mercedes civic center from 8am- 4pm. VISIT ME!


Braided hippie headbands in all different colors and styles are coming to Monikapolitan.com this week....

Back...

Observation: I wore this headband in Austin this weekend and got I want to say 5 compliments & "where'de you get thats?" from total strangers...I wore it today in McAllen and got "are you an indian? What's that on your head? & Start a fire for us" ... haha. Open your minds.

Did any of ya'll see the cute necklaces at the TFS show? I wasn't there but Aberazzi sent me this picture of their merch table..yippeee!

4.20.2008

I AM SPARTAAA!!

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was short and spent in Austin. Went to the motion city soundtrack/Panic @ the disco concert which was beyond my expectations followed by beauty bar which was even more beyond my expectations... pictures of proof will be posted later.
Thursday my shoe collection became complete. I had been wanting these ridiculous sandals since jan. 9th to be exact & now they are mine all mine. I found my webcam, who wants blurry pictures?? mee mee mee....


Calling all cops and autobots...

Theee final stretch

If you are going to thee Armada show tomorrow, then look out for some new merch our locals The Final stretch will be selling. I custom handmade their necklaces from a design they gave me a while back. Each is individually handmade, glossed and finished with a cute lil gem. Their tags are very exclusive as well. These are limited so get them while they last!

A clear protective bag is over them so that explains the glare...
