bundle up baby

Street style photo from London (via wgsn.com). The fall weather has finally arrived in Savannah. Nothing I love more than layers!
Sorry for the hiatus. Posts may or may not pick up in the future. I hate to make promises I can't keep. If my technical difficulties stop being difficult, I shall finally post about my trip to Asheville to see the great Andrew Bird.

Until then loves,

Oh, cut it out!

Allo! It's been a few days, yes, since my last post, but I promise with various good reasons...

I did a little t-shirt DIY today and yesterday. I'm still in the process of tye-dying my black skinnies... I'm being a little meticulous about the design and I've ran into a few supply problems (Mom actually had to use the bleach to do the whites).

I have photos from a little party I attended last Saturday. I made a dress for it (a big reason for my hiatus from the blogosphere) Photos up (hopefully) 'morrows!

I love the feeling of exposing just the right amount of skin. It wasn't until I read this article from Refinery29.com that I found myself DIYing a trend. I personally adored this jersey dress from Sophomore.

Speaking of trends, I MUST acquire myself a pair of stay-ups. See why here!

I hope everyone's enjoying their summer. Until next post! B

Beauty from pain

This is a quickie post to tell you that I will be on a temporary hiatus for the next month or so due to the overwhelming demand of...coursework. Yes, yes, tears, but no worries I shall return and better than ever! No pain, no gain! I do have a few things on "stock" to share. When I get a chance to breath or decide to procrastinate (we all do it, people!) I'll do a post on the quick.
Below I found a photo in I.D. magazine. It's about this fashion designer/stylist's tattoo. Coincidentally, I've planned to get some "ink" with a similar concept after graduation, as sort of a mark of my accomplishments. And trust me, the pain of the tattoo will be nothing compared to the "pain" of 4 years of art school. I know I can get an "Amen!" on that from some of you!

a close up... I really like her meaning behind the tattoo: "the heart stitched with a needle is inspired by eco-feminist thinking, it symbolizes the value I place in feminine traditions." I can relate, but I guess my reasoning is a little more superficial. I just wanted my tattoo to symbolize fashion. I have two more years to think of a better reason.
