UPDATE ON KSTEW HAUL!!!

Hi all! I've been getting a few emails recently asking for an update on my things! Yes I am still collecting/ buying Kristen related products, but I have been really busy lately (finishing my LAW DEGREE) that I haven't had a chance to blog…. Anyway- here are some things that I have recently come to acquire. Some of the things may have been posted already but I doubt whether the quality of the photos were any good--- >> so…. here we go!

DON'T NICKLE & DIME ME REPLICA! I got this from ebay about 9 months ago (maybe longer….).

HATS: Brixon Mead Cap, New Orioles Cap, Us V Them snap-back, Mercenaries snap-back. I'm not really a cap person because they make my head look even more like a soccer ball- but in Australia sometimes a cap is all you need...

JEANS: 7 for all mankind the skinny in rinsed indigo, 7 for all mankind gwenevere gummy in slate, 7 for all mankind the skinny in rinsed indigo, Textile Elizabeth and James crosby in honey--- I have three pairs of the 7 for all mankind skinny jeans in rinsed indigo (one pair is currently in the wash)--- I have a fourth pair on the way! they are my absolute favourite jeans (and Kristen seems to live in hers)- they are exception quality and so you may think "why do you need so many???" and I would respond with "because I don't really wear anything else!"- you can get these from Amazon, Ebay, Revolve Clothing online, Nordstrom online, Barney's NY online and the 7 for all mankind website! They retail new for around $180 AUD … but well worth the price!

BCBG Max Azria Simone Power Skirt: This is the skirt Kristen wore at Comic Con- VERY tight and they run really small but are stretchy but kind of feel like wearing a bandage… I am usually a US jean size 26/27 so like a a 4…? In Australia I am a size 8/10 and the skirt is a size small- should have got the medium through… 

STUSSY: Kristen was recently seen wearing this teamed with her 7 FAM jeans, Vans and Mercenaries  
snapback- I got mine from urban outfitters for about $50.

ALTERNATIVE APPAREL HOODLUM ECO FLEECE…. I am bored of writing things out so from now on down i am just going to name what things are and where i got them… hahahaha...

Getting Personal

I should probably use one of the 6 blank (and totally funky) diaries (purchased from various quirky book stores and gift shops over the years) I have sitting in my bookshelf at home to write and drone on about the following; but this is MY blog and I came to the conclusion (after watching far too much Sex and the City) to write...HERE.

People are usually surprised when they hear I am a Kristen Stewart fan. That surprise usually, and quite rapidly turns to shock when I start talking them through my wardrobe, and the conversation usually goes like this:

RANDOM: Oh, cool necklace. But I think you've got it on backwards...

ME: Shanks. It's supposed to be that way. It's a scapular necklace, so there is a pendant at the front, and one also at the back... see (showing them the necklace as I rotate the whole chain around my neck).

RANDOM: Oh that's awesome. Where did you get it from?

ME: (Starting to realise WHERE this conversation is heading; but secretly- I love it): Oh from Etsy. I have two of them. One is silver and the other is gold.

RANDOM: Wait, you have TWO of the same necklace? Why?

ME: Well---so you know the actress Kristen Stewart?

RANDOM: (Backing away slightly): yeaaahhh.... why?

ME: She has the same necklace. Well, not EXACTLY, mine is a replica of hers. And in some photos her necklace looks gold, and in other photos, it's more of a white gold or silver...

RANDOM: And that's why you have two?

ME: Yeah, so I can change it up depending on what....blah blah blah....

ALTERNATIVELY:

RANDOM: Hey, cool hoodie, what does it say?

ME: Nuns with guns, praise the lord and pass the ammunition".

RANDOM: What does that mean?

ME: Well, to be honest, I'm not really sure, I own it because Kristen Stewart wears one- and she looks rad in it, so I thought if I could just be one millionth of a coolness of what she is, then why not?

RANDOM: Do you own OTHER things that she has?

ME: Yes. But I don't know where to start...

RANDOM: Like shoes? or something?

ME: I have the same Adidas Samba Shoes, Converse shoes, Nike Tenkays, Vans Saddle Sids, Keds Black on Black champions, Keds lace-less twills...

RANDOM: That's creepy... you're insane. 

And all conversations usually turn to "So WHY do you like her so much? She's not even a good actor?"

To which I respond in two steps. First, I take a deep breath and rationalise with myself that it is NOT OKAY to get upset about someone insulting a person I have and will NEVER know. In fact, to be honest, I kind of agree with them to some extent. I think the scripts she has to work with are sometimes quite narrow and so its not surprising she sometimes comes across as "bad or lame"... She has been in some good films (personally I liked Welcome to the Rileys and The Cake Eaters) and some other films that don't appeal to the majorities taste (Twilight- all of them, Snow White and the Huntsman)- these films are created and directed to a particular audience. Most of the time 20 something year old guys will fake a vomit at movies like Twilight, but the movies were never supposed to draw in crowds of men now were they?

Secondly, I answer the question honestly.

I have always been a "tom-boy" so to speak. 

Up until the age of 14 I thought it was okay to wear overalls (with nothing on underneath- in true Dennis the Menace style) until one day, someone pointed out that they could "see my tits"... I realised this was true but at the time maintained that I didn't care- but I never did wear those overalls again.

In more recent years (I am now in my mid-late 20s) I (and my friends) have accepted I will NEVER be a dress or skirts kind of person. So I wear jeans and pants. Mostly jeans. And while I do feel most comfortable wearing the baggy boy-friend jeans with rips, stains, holes and never enough pockets or track-pants from the men’s section in City Beach, sometimes, I feel like being a little more "feminine"- this is where the 7 For All Mankind Second Skin Jeggings in Rinsed Indigo come in- and it's all thanks to Kristen Stewart.

I can still get around in my sneakers (for sneaking), and an oversized tee, but somehow, I feel more socially acceptable, because you can actually tell I am a chick when I am wearing figure hugging jeans.

So that’s how this all began.

ADIDAS SAMBAS!!!

About 10 days ago I finally caved and purchased a pair of Kristen's Adidas Samba's from UrbanOutfitters (online).

I have been wanting and wishing for these sneakers for a very long time; but here in Australia (where I reside) they retail for around $120. 

UrbanOutiftters sell them for $60 and I got free international shipping for spending over $x amount.

The shoes arrived today and I am having a hard time not going home early from work just to prance around in them---- that's right "prance".

The Wonderful World of ETSY

If you peeps are looking to recreate a few K-STEW looks for cheap, but don't want to settle for alternatives (I feel less of a fan when I find myself saying "oh, this is "SIMILAR"..." then replicas can help you get past this point.
Aside from being cheaper, the clothes are usually very good quality (for everyday wearing)- and people will not be able to tell the difference....
So check out ETSY.

Kristen's Hipster Glasses

There has been much debate lately (on forums, fan blogs, facebook groups etc) as to whether KStew's glasses are prescription or purely "ironic".

Either way, I think they look rad- so rad, that I purchased a pair of her exact glasses (mine are prescription- as I need them for long distance vision) from LOOKMATIC.

The style KStew wears is: MORGAN in BLACK/TORTOISE (unisex)- (You can tell from the photos below) . You can also get Morgan in all black and/ or all tortoise. 

They are approximately $95 (made to order- ie come with prescription lenses) and they do ship internationally for about $20- $40 depending on where you live.
