TEXTILES PROJECT: THE SECRET GARDEN

.: dress, diy (for a textiles project) | wedges, borrowed | lipstick: berry queen by rimmel :.

Hey everyone! This is the dress that I made for my recent textiles project which consisted of making a summer dress! 

My dress was based around the general innocent imagination with the vivid flowers almost erupting out of the chest region, similarly how we picture fantasies in our head and take a lot of them to heart. As little kids, we would've done this a lot and this dress (for me) captures those nostalgic memories of all the pure hopes and dreams I used to have. This leads to the name 'the secret garden', which is what I call that little place in all our hearts that bloom with those nostalgic memories and an innocent vulnerability every time we think about it; it's our refuge almost, a 'secret garden' in our hearts where no one can interfere with those emotions and vivid flowers we choose to plant there. (This probably doesn't make any sense to you guys HAHAHA very bad at phrasing things sorry)

My dress fashion drawing (I know this is verrrrrry out of proportion BUT HEY, FIRST SERIOUS ISH FASHION DRAWING)

Anyway, while I was out shooting these photos with my friend Fiona (who has been taking my past few outfit posts!!!) (thanks Fi if you read this!) we came across this FLUFFY CAT and the owner came around after a bit and he showed me how to hold the cat (very inexperienced I do not have any pets) AND IT WAS THE SOFTEST AND CUDDLIEST THING EVER here's a pic of me holding it!

Anyway, tell me what you think of my dress in the comments! I am overall very happy with it because I had to modify it a bit so I could add the floral chiffon insert SO YEAH!

I hope you all have a great weekend and keeep smiling!

DIY WRAPPING

Hey guys! As we all know, Christmas is so close! I have found a couple of wrapping related DIYs you might like to have a look at (and possibly make!) so you can get creative for the presents you send out this year!

1. How to wrap using cloth



This is such a great way to give presents! As soon as I saw this post on Facebook, I immediately thought I should share it with you guys. It's a good way to dig out your old bandanas and give that vintage touch to your presents!

2. How to sew a gift bag

This is a nice tutorial if you see some really nice festive fabric that you are dying to use for something christmas-y! Click here to go to the tutorial or the image above :)

3. 40 Free Christmas Printables

Here are some really artsy printables that are great for Christmas parties and gift tags! Click here for the link or on the image above.

AS BLUE AS THE SEA

.: hat, rubi (from my friend Tina hehe) | chiffon top, valleygirl | velvet skirt, diy :.

Hey guys! I've had such a splendid post-exam time making a skirt! A few of my friends have mentioned me posting a tutorial for how I made it, but unfortunately I didn't make it straight from my own brain (too amateur for that HAHA), I used fashiononymous' video tutorial to guide me; though I really do have some DIY projects that are up on my list that I will construct for you guys, and hopefully someone will watch/read them!

Today I went shopping with my beautiful friend Anna after school and this is what I wore (minus the hat)! I am actually in love with floppy hats because they suit almost every occasion. They can give you a summery look and is absolutely great to wear to the beach, they can give you a sophisticated look if paired with black maxi skirt/dress or it could just be worn casually on a sunny day with shorts and a top or something. Floppy hats are just great, and thanks to my other beautiful friend Tina for buying it for me for my birthday! Haha.

Anyway, I am actually just in love with the velvet skirt I made because navy is an amazing colour and because I made this all by myself and things always feel better when you make them yourself, don't you think? I think this skirt has gotten me in the mood to make more clothes :)

Okay, enough of my ramblings, I hope you all have had a really great day and keep smiling!

P.S Will be posting what I bought today + selfies + you will meet Anna. She is amazayn.
