TGH


all images were found on tumblr
So I really didn't think I would like the Hunger Games, and I hate following trends, but I just had to read it. It was amazing! I just got the second book and I'm going to start reading it tonight! I can't wait! Oh and I can't wait to see the movie either!!

Skull DIY

So yesterday was an exciting day! I was at my local fabric store, about to head to the register to check out and what do I hear? The fire alarm. So we all had to evacuate the store, and everyone else in the plaza, until the firemen cleared it. There wasn't even a fire, so someone must have pulled the alarm. But in the end I got my fabrics that I will be making into shift dresses. The first fabric is a lovely royal blue color for my graduation outfit and the second is a linen white and chocolate leopard pattern for another dress.  I also stopped by another store and picked up a T-shirt for my little DIY I promised on Chiara's skull T-shirt.  Though, I do recommend turning the shirt inside out before drawing the design, and getting the shirt (if you're a girl) in a mens size, one that covers your butt so the skull will be larger.


Step 1: First, insert a piece of cardboard between the front and back layers of the T-shirt so that the marker won't bleed through.  On the back of your T-shirt, draw the eyes, nose, teeth and lower jaw of the skull. 
Note: Try to draw the shapes a little smaller so when you cut out the design, there will be no more marker left over.

Step 2: Once the drawing is complete, start to carefully cut out the design. After you have finished cutting, stretch out the T-shirt so that it will get a more distressed look. You can do so just by pulling on it.

My final product!
Thanks! I hope you enjoyed this DIY!

Springtime Crave

Just a few items that I found at asos.com today when I got an email from them saying that they're having a 50% off sale. These are a few that I found under $35 that I really want. Ugh, a new season brings an unhealthy craving for new clothes!

Summer Time in Thailand

I just finished my daily blog readings, which of course includes Chiara from The Blonde Salad. I just love her fashion style and her current vacation through Thailand. I just love her outfits too, especially the skull T-shirt and her yellow sundress!

I'll probably do a tutorial on how to remake this skull T-shirt because I absolutely love it! Last summer, I took an oversized UnderDog T-shirt and cut up the back, so this should be just as simple.

I might also attempt to make this dress. I have a similar one from Francesca's with a grey and black leopard print. A lot of my clothing is grey, so a nice summery color like orange or this yellow above would do wonders to my wardrobe.

Ex-hair dye virgin

I haven't posted since October?! What?! Sorry! I think I stopped for a while because I had barely any followers and nobody ever commented on my stuff, but now after taking a break, I miss blogging. I'll try to blog in my free time, when I'm not working. A lot has changed since I stopped blogging. I got a boyfriend, dyed my hair red, lost a friend, cut my hair short, dyed it back to dark brown, and got accepted to MassArt! This was the first time I every dyed my hair, besides ombreing it last summer.  I'll post some before and afters of my hair down below! Oh and I found this really cool nail tutorial while looking through my bloglovin' a few minutes ago. You can find it here!

New Yawk City

Really cannot wait until this Saturday!! Why you ask? Because the language clubs at school are going to NYC for the day then going to Little Italy for dinner. I have been to Times Square several times, but never anywhere else, so I'm mostly excited for Little Italy.  
I can't wait to smell the roasting peanuts and go into Macy's, the M&M store and the billions of Forever 21 and H&M's!!! I feel like I'll be the tour guide to all of the fashion stores for everyone though, but oh well, I guess they just admire my style? Dunno, but I did find out that a bunch of the cheerleader/preppy chicks at school voted me 'Most Artistic' for the senior superlatives... a nice little surprise I guess no? 





P.S. My favorite Forever 21 in NYC is the one next to the disney store because it's like one story, but the other floors go down into the basement and there are like 2 or 3 in total <33
P.P.S. I now have Empire State of Mind stuck in my head lol.

You taste like whiskey when I kiss you

So I bought my very first moleskine a few days ago! I've already done a few projects or whatever one might call them.. the first one was a bunch of henna designs I threw together and the second is of Lady Gaga with a quote from her song Bloody Mary. I have the red moleskine by the way.
Also, we are starting our clay projects Monday FINALLY. Hm, what am I doing tomorrow.. 

  1. Going to a fall harvest bazaar 
  2. CAR SHOPPING (might be a brandy-new car and not used!!)
  3. Trying to figure out what I am going to play for my Tri-M audition/initiation -___-
