Long Live The Newest Queen.

This is some pretty exciting news! (Well to me that is...) My wonderfully amazing friend and pen pal Giselle is going to be blogging for QOTG. She is amazing! Why you may ask? Well, here are just some of the reasons:

1. She's a HUGE comic book nerd like me

2. She makes incredible jewelry (some that I am lucky enough to own!)

3. She is very an innovative and creative artist.

4. She's just over all awesome!

Make sure to check out her tumblr and follow her on twitter! Also check her out on this blog as well as the QOTG tumblr blog too.

DIY Hoop Earrings

I am trying to make this summer a good one. Seeing as last summer, I worked most of it. So I am making a list of things I want too. Here are just some of the items:

• Go to New York
• Try a new food
• Crash a party
• Make at least 3 new DIY's for the blog
• Finish my screenplay
• Go swimming in the middle of the night
• Sleep in my car
• bond fire

Super random, I know, but I am super random. I've already done some items on my list: Watch the sunset on top of my roof and midnight beach adventure.

Happy (Belated) Father's Day/Kings of the Guttersnipe

Sorry. I was busy yesterday helping my sister move and celebrating father's day with my wonderful dad. Now you guys know how much I love men's fashion, so of course I had to have a special Father's Day edition of The Kings of the Guttersnipes. Please enjoy:

Oh! How I love a man who can dress. A nice tie, suit, and a freshly pressed shirt....

DIY: White Button-up cut out

I've seen these lovely white button ups on a lot of fashion blogs. They are beautiful and simple. Great silhouette, go with anything, and very fashionable. However, I haven't been able to find a price I liked. So I thought... I can make my own & make it a bit different.

What you need:

scissors

sewing supplies (Machine or if you hand sew like me: needle and white thread)

lace

Men's white button up.

First. Cut out a hole in the back of the shirt. Cut it so it looks like a triangle. Cut right below the arm pit and cut across like so:

Second. Turn the shirt inside out.

Third. Pin in the lace and sew the top first.

Fourth. Sew the rest into place.

Fifth. Cut off the extra lace.

Sixth. Make adjustments if needed.

NOW! Enjoy and wear xoxoxo

Fafi X Married To The Mob.

This is a bit ironic. Since my last post was about over priced shirts. BUT I have weakness for good work. My two favorite people got together and made magic.

The Fafi & Married to The Mob shirts are out now. Ready to be purchased. I am so temped to buckle down and buy one... We'll see.

NYLON Challenge: T-Shirt TIME!!!

Nylon (Kate Bosworth) March 2011

Nylon (Vanessa Hudgens ) April 2011

OK. So this was a fairly easy Nylon Challenge, but it being my first one I thought I would start off with something easy.

In two Nylon issues they had a special on graphic/designed t-shirts. I feel like t-shirts should be simple and cheap. Well in both magazines (March 2011 & April 2011) the shirts ranged from $20 - $265. That's right $265.00 human dollars for a t-shirts. No pants to go with it, no necklace or shoes, just a t-shirt.

OUTRANGE!

I understand some of these t-shirts were designer shirts. But no one in their right mind will pay $265 for a shirt. And most people can't afford that!

So here are t-shirts that are just as amazing all found at Salvation Army:

All the shirts above range from $1.00 - $7.00

HINT: Want a really cool graphic t-shirts? Head to the men's section.

Then you can find a larger size, cut them however you would like.

Here are two I actually bought:

Due to these actually being on sale: both coast me one dollar.
