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!
