My Etsy Shop; SEAMS TO DREAMS

My Etsy shop is up and running! I will have a couple more things up on it this week! I'm just waiting for some things coming in the mail and then I'll be good to go.

A sneak peek at what's coming soon: Studded, bleached tank dresses! Zipper Headbands! More!

Tell your friends about my shop too! Thanks!

GOOD Trade.

Never been so thankful that I know how to sew. Got these bad boys in exchange for fixing two rips in my sister's friend's pants!

Ideas on Etsy.

Yup, you read right. I am working on creating my very own Etsy shop. I've done all the calculations, starting sewing pieces, and coming up with ideas! I expect you to buy something once it's up and running! Here's a picture of one thing I'll be selling: an assortment of doo-dads!

We could all use a few doo-dads to pin to a bag, a tank, a hoodie. Or maybe in our hair or on a headband. The possibilities are endless!

Found: Old photographs

So, I came across these photos of me. The first two were done by my sister in her HS photo class. The last photo was done by my ex-boyfriend, Cameron. All the photos were manually developed in a dark room. NO DIGITAL. Cool, right? Another random thing I just noticed, I'm wearing the same dress in all the pictures even when they were taken years apart. I promise I have more dresses than just this one. I have always appreciated photographers (the real ones) but it's not anything I'm good. So I'll stick to art and sewing.

Gifts and tags.

All of my Christmas gifts this year will be handmade. No exceptions.

And can someone tell me is it arrogant to put a tag of my wanna-be clothing/accessory brand on these hand made items?

Fashion on Glee!

To say the least, I love Glee. But Emma Pillsbury, played by Jayma Mays, is their number one fashionista! Not only am I envious of her millions of high-waisted pencil skirts, but I am completely jealous of her ability to rock color. I'm prone to wearing all neautrals and throwing one small bit of bright color- NOT EMMA! Look at this yellow on yellow on top of even more yellow outfit!

Or coral on coral on coral.
So maybe we all can't do color like she can, but we can do this! Military is in and this cute little sweater has a smidge of a military feel. Not to mention LOVE the color of the skirt.
Last, but not least, the infamous sweater clip. One question: Where can I get one? This girl knows how to wear a pencil skirt and a sweater like nobody I've ever seen.
I did however notice in tonight's episode of Glee, she was in earthy tones with small bits of color. Like the brown plaid dress with a bit of blue in it paired with a blue sweater. Or, her tan skirt, brown top and coral belt at the waist. Then again the episode was more of a somber one. We'll find out next week if she's back to brights or not!

Cute in the Cold. Possible?

I officially moved into Rexburg, Idaho. WOW.

Okay, so I was told it was going to be a cold place, but I mean, it's still fall, right?

Well, I got kinda excited for the cold. Back in California I loved being able to put on boots and layer on tanks and hoodies and coats with scarves and beanies. But the "fall cold" here is already colder than the California "winter cold". I'm getting a littlenervous. Not to mention when shopping with my mother for w inter coats I'd see a cute one, pick it up and say, "Hey! What about this one? It's so cute!" And every time I'd get, "No. That is NOT warm enough." And I'm talking about what was the thickest biggest jackets I'd ever seen. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating. Either way. Being cute in the cold is still possible. Let's check it out:

Thigh High boots? YES, YES, YES.

Military fashion? I'm all about that look. Even got a leather jacket for the cause. It can be hard to do camo without looking... trashy? ... Little girlish? ... white trash? Juss' saying.

Okay, so this really has nothing to do with this post, but I just really want this jacket. That is all.

Last but definitely not least, i want this fall/winter outfit. Love the layering and messiness of it. Hmmmppphhh. Well, that is all. Enjoy your Fall and Winter fashion!
