So what if it drizzles and dribbles and drips?

Finally! Rain!...that I sort of missed out on. =( I was working for most of the day, so I didn't get a chance to break out the umbrella. I just stood inside the rather cozy coffee shop and watched the water fall. After work, I scurried on over to a used book store nearby. Books and rain just make sense. I picked up a copy of "Falling Up" by Shel Silverstein and a great 70''s Vogue Sewing book. Witty poems, fun illustrations, and a great sewing book were the perfect end to my day.
I've got to try this sometime. Clothed, of course! =)



The Vogue Sewing Book has a great section on some great designers. Here, my fashion love for Yves Saint Laurent.

To DIY for

Ok dears, I need your help. I've been racking up a few images of things that have inspired some DIY ideas. So, which DIY should I DMS (do myself)? Below are the images. Please tell me what you think!
*~*
DiY 1: Dip dye white skinnies. I just bought a pair of white jeans as one of my summer staples. I've wanted to do this to them all along. ;)

DiY 2: Cut out back tee. Find an oversized tee and cut it up! image from openingceremony.us

DiY 3: Boatneck t-shirt dress. This will be great to pair with some skinnies. I love an open neckline. image from openingceremony.us

DiY 4: Zipper leg leggings or jeans. I have a pair of jeans that would be great for this, but I've also wanted to try it with leggings.image from 80spurple.com

DiY5: Tie Dye skinnies. Ok, I like skinny jeans a little too much, but this would be fun to do. I'd had a little distress and hardware too.image from netaporter.com

DiY 6: Zipper high waist skirt. This might be a full on sewing project, but rather simple. Very Alexander Wang. I'd make it out of a funky, 80s-esque fabric.image from 80spurple.com
