I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see..

dress - topshop

dress - vintage, blazer - topshop

bleached jeans - vintage & DIYed

Oh how hectic it all has been. Well the good news is, I survived one of my exams, while the pattern making one has be re-scheduled for this coming Tuesday. The good news is, I have finished project numero uno for sewing, which is an unlined high waisted skirt, and will hopefully complete project # deux on Monday, which is yet another high waisted skirt, this time with lining. After getting my first skirt approved by no other than our director, I proceeded to cutting about 6 inches off it, to suit my style more. I will wear it sometime this week and take photos, can you tell I'm proud? Sewing darts in the right way is no joke.. lol

Again, I have been little miss retail therapy monster, victimizing more TopShop outlets and taking advantage of their ridiculously priced items. By today I must have lost my shopping mojo, because I ended up leaving without buying anything.. for myself that is. So instead I headed over to TopMan and did a little shopping for the boyfriend who has been nothing but amazing in the last few weeks..

As for the photos above, outfit number one is a dress I plan to copy, courtesy of TopShop. It has this amazing bow detail, and we all know how much I ♥ bows. Next, the red dress I bought in Baguio City on that vintage shopping excursion with the gals, and the bleached jeans I did ages ago on the island in a tiny bathroom and with two small bottles of thick bleach. I just made a slit in the top of the bottle, and squirted the bleach onto the wet denim.. but I had to do two takes on it because I wasn't satisfied with it the first time around. I kinda love these jeans, they used to be men's jeans until I turned them into skinnies. Love.

I have several ongoing little projects right now, one of them involving gold sequins and and black satin, and another one I am still sketching/figuring out, which includes a lightning bolt. Possibly also via sequins. Oh, Lady Gaga would be so proud!
