puff skirt DIY

First off, I changed the playlist so that it doesn't automatically start up. I know a lot of people don't like it when blogs have music playing, so if you do want to listen to our fav songs, you have to click play for it to start playing. Also, because of Mixpod and YouTube's new agreement, a lot of our fav songs are unable to be played now. I'll try to fix that and find some more working songs. Sorry about that.

Anyways, I have been wanting to do this DIY for the loooongest time. Long. Time. Finally got around to it. Since it's a three-day weekend due to MLK Jr. Day, I thought "Why not waste some of that precious time?" and got to it. I followed the DIY instructions from Childhood Flames and got it done in around 2 hours, the time that it also took her to finish. It really is very simple to do and the finished product is very cute. I used some poly-satin that I had lying around from an old Humanities opera project. I am thinking about going to pick up some chiffon or something to create some more layers on top of this. I'll let you know if I end up doing it.

Not the best pictures; and I had to edit them for a more accurate color of the skirt. Sorry.

i'm sorry!!!!!!

I am a horrible blogger. I'm sorry. I promise I will update more later. But I can't right now, I'm going through some difficult times and I'm having trouble finding time for this. Senior year is not as easy as it seems! I'm really really really sorry. Blogging is like a full time job and I don't know if I'm up for it right now. There was something I really wanted to post about but I forgot. But here, some outfits from the past week (with some repeated items from day to day). I hope these appease you for now. I will be back with a vengeance... soon!

PS: I need to find a better location for taking pictures.

gray shirt from jcpenny, pink/purple skirt from f21, mustard tights from gap, white scarf from banana republic.

watercolor top from american eagle, red floral skirt from f21, black lace tights from f21 over gray tights from express.

green cardigan from nordstroms, orange beaded top from ??, olive and black american apparel dress, gray tights from express.

purple sweatshirt (DIY cut-off collar) from goodwill, red floral skirt from f21, gray tights from express, boots from china.

georgia may jagger

the next big thing:

 

georgia jagger (as in mick jagger)  rockin those teeth, so STRIKINGLY and unconventionally gorgeous. major girlcrush right now.

right now, she
has a controversial campain for hudson jeans (which IMO is not that "bad"),
is on the cover of november vogue UK,
has signed on for a campaign for rimmel,
and is going to be the new face of versace.

and SHE IS ONLY 17 YEARS OLD... definitely one to watch.

Hi guys... yes, it's been ages since I last updated. Sorry =(

To make up for it, here are like five outfits [in chronological order!] from the past month crammed into one post. I don't have much time to elaborate but... enjoy? Heh.

Just for fun...

PS: For some reason, our sidebar is acting up. I don't know how to fix it or why it's doing that. So if you want to find it, it is now at the bottom, below all of our posts. Sorry =( I will try to fix it sometime later.
