visual icon - kat von d

I’ve had something of a girl crush on Kat Von D ever since I first saw her on the Discovery Channel on Miami Ink. Not least because she totally rocks the hoop earring and red lipstick look that I totally love. What’s really awesome is that she also exemplifies my love of tattoos, art, Mexican culture, and rosaries.

I also love her iconic lightning necklace that’s known as her trademark.

Being that she’s a total inspiration, I’ve been totally obsessed with following her webcasts on what inspires her on youtube.

This obsession was started when I read her book High Voltage Tattoo that I got for my birthday.

 

I also love her latest engagement ring – it’s something that totally expresses her personality. Although there has been some backlash in the media due to her being proposed to via twitter, it turned out that it was actually really romantic as she met her fiancé on/via twitter…

 

Max Black / Kat Dennings - my other red lipstick icon

There has always been a soft spot in my heart for curvy brunettes – so was really chuffed to discover Kat Dennings as Max Black on the awesome sitcom 2 Broke Girls.


Her style both on and off the show makes her someone after my own heart as it turns out that I like to dress in a similar way to her...

I guess you could say that in many ways she is one of my modern style inspirations, especially given that she totally rocks the red lipstick and large dangly earrings look…

For those who are really into the dark red lipstick look, apparently the one she wears on the show is Tarte Lipsurgence in Envy.

As I have a tendency of being somewhat fanatical about jewelry and accessories, obviously I had to make a search as to what she wears on the show…

Here’s pics of her necklace and earrings.

Considering how rare her necklace is to find, those who have the budget and inclination should snap this up real quick on etsy.

N.B. In a shout out to my fellow etsians...you can find Max's earrings here too!
