Hack the Planet

Kate "Acid Burn" Libby

This Polyvore collage all stemmed from a song that somehow wandered into my head and created a huge web chase to find the perfect unitard bycicle shorts combo. Granted there is no such thing that is meant to be worn on the street. So I googled the undergarment shapewear that you see above. How awesome would that be? A bustier onesie?? But I'm jumping ahead of myself. So this said song reminded me of Angelina Jolie's character in the 1995 cult classic "Hackers" because after all the song is from the movie's soundtrack(one hit wonder, yes please).The wardrobe in the movie were some note worthy fashion statements that seem to making a comeback.Although the movie is cheesy in today's standards, at the time(its probably because I was 12)it was a really edgy cool movie.Remember when Aol was America Online and it was totally wild that you could chat with people you never met before from the comfort of your living room?That's why.
So enough mystery; here is said song:Stereo Mc's-"Connected"

Up Up and Away We Go

On Thursday night I met up with my boyfriend after work and we went to get some dinner and then to a movie. We went to see "UP". It was thoroughly entertaining.I was really surprised at how moving a pixar movie could be.It did have some cheesy parts but it is a children's movie. After the movie we went to get some Pinkberry. It was a really sweet end to an adorable night.

EBAY FINDS 14

Photobucket

For the longest time I've been looking for the old version of the Saltwater sandals(the ones with a buckle). I actually mentioned this sometime last year that my sandals from H&M were completely demolished

and I needed to replace them, which I did. A similar T-strap pair from Urban Outfitters.Which now I have no idea where they are.Anyways when I was scouring Ebay one day I came upon these. They were totally and completely meant to be mine.They are perforated with a few flower details and they are in a super light blush pink.

I was mostly intrigued by the dress because when I saw it, I thought what a perfect combination of floral and gingham. It would be the perfect dress to transition from an outdoor festival to a night out.It has a corset tie back and it is white and hunter green with hunter green embroidered flowers on it.
