This is an outfit composed of things that i found at dig and save. This is before I hemmed and fitted everything.
And after:

Sorry for the difference in the lighting, I took the before picture with natural lighting.

I love the effects on Photobucket!

I thought I knew bleach

We Survived 2012!

Okay so I lied about the posts that I promised to...well post. I've learned a lesson, don't make promises ever...because then you can't break any promises! :D.....
On that note...
Although I haven't been very active on keeping up with the latest fashions I have found that my latest designs are very 'fashionable' so trust me with this list of 10 things that I believe are in fashion or will be in the future (because I'm that ahead of my time....I'm just kidding it's because I'm weird)

1. Flower Power man
-not the dainty kind that you wore last season or the seasons before. No, those are too safe, and if you're like me you love taking risks.
-bold flowers
-flowers on jeans, like daisies and such (think appliques)

2. Appliques
-mmmmm appliques are your best friend this season
- think 90's
- jean jackets, M$@%@*& F%^^#@*&@ JEAN JACKETS (and shorts when the time comes)

3. JEAN JACKETS
-nuf said

4. Bold patterns from the 70's
-nothing childish like brown with pink or brown with blue (gross) but yellow and pink with orange and a lime green in a swirly or flowery pattern as fitted high waisted shorts are tasteful and chic but still fun and spunky

5. Barque
-check Versailles

6. Knit wear
-I don't just mean sweaters...because I obviously discovered those (sarcasm), but I'm talking about knit skirts, dresses, bandeau, jackets, leggings, pants. If done right all of these things can be pulled off, but this is another one of those risky things so BE CAREFUL CUIDADO!!

7. Pictures
-not taking pictures but pictures as the pattern on a jacket  or pants or etc.
- kitten hoodie, yeah that is as adorable as it sounds (please don't use kitten fur, I'm talking about pictures)

8. Clear clothing (with non-clear clothing underneath please)
-like some dead flowers melted into some clear vinyl to make a raincoat would be uber cute (nobody steal that idea its a work in progress for me -_-)

And here are a couple things that I think will stay in fashion but aren't new

9. Statement collars and cuffs

10. thigh high socks

These are only a few of a list of many things that will be what the cool kids will be wearing (or the weird ones if your a conservative dresser, unlike me) Have fun, and remember being naked is only okay if you run fast enough.

Volleyball

First off, I'll post the leather shorts soon I just got a camera. Second, I wouldn't have gotten that camera if it wasn't for volleyball....
~~~
So in our school there are two freshman teams, one JV(junior varsity), and one varsity team....the problem with this is that a lot of girls have to be cut when all the former freshman try out for JV. For the past week I've been trying out for JV, I was so sure that I was going to get in that I never, ever ever, through the whole tryout feel nervous; already things went wrong there.
A saying that I heard today goes something like this " if you don't humble yourself than someone else will have to humble you for you (more like humiliate) and if you're already humble than people will bring you up (make you look good)". I was anything but humble and I don't know if it was evident to the coaches but even if it wasn't this whole experience was very humbling.
That's the first thing I did wrong.
The second thing that I did wrong was that I didn't have the same views on volleyball as the JV coach. Well I 't think i did anything wrong in this case but it's far from the concept of the game. Volleyball, if you didn't already know is a game of mistakes, to me this means try to mess with the other teams so much that they make the mistakes, also, try to figure out their next move before they make it. So basically volleyball is a game to me, like chess or poker. However, and this is what most if not all volleyball players think, volleyball is a game where team work is so uber super essential, one person could never carry a whole team; in other words it's a sport. The coach thought of volleyball as a sport and I thought of it as a game. If I were the coach I wouldn't have picked me either, why would I ever pick a player that doesn't have the same values as me. Although I personally think the second reason is a big one I also think that it's only possible if he read my mind....I hope he didn't do that....
More important than the second reason and related to the first reason is that I don't listen.  Although I respect my elders and sunbae (upper classmen) I like doing things my way whether it's wrong or not, you can't coach a girl like that, nope no can do. I feel as if this reason was the most evident and important reason.
I don't think my skills were lacking, nor my physical portion of the tryout.
However because I didn't make the cut the school refunded $115 that was supposed to cover the cost of volleyball and with that money I got a camera.
THE END
"when life gives you a blue card* you use the money and buy a camera"

*in my school the blue card is like a reciept for the payment of entering a sport

LEATHER SHORTS

So one of the things that I've been obsessing over this summer is leather shorts...problem is I'm not exactly in a situation where i can afford leather shorts, the ones that I found online happen to be very pricey. "Ah ha" I thought "I shall make them" but one problem, leather doesn't exactly grow on trees and its quite expensive to get. The idea of having a 2011 summer without leather shorts made me a very sad little girl, but one day I watched thisYouTube video and I started to jump up and down in joy. In conclusion, I will have a new post soon on how to make leather shorts and a shirt that I personally think complements this punk chic article of clothing. :) stay tuned for a DIY on the shorts and shirt <3

2ne1 black jack earrings

btw this was a collaboration post with fluffeh bunneh 

This DIY was inspired by these two cool DIYers Click here for their version of these earrings 

...so I love their version buut its not the way I would make them.

Materials:

white Shrinky dink paper

paper

pencils

sharpies

527 glue

earring posts

cards

rulers

dry erase markers

scissors

STEP 1!cut out 2 rectangles of the shrinky dink paper that have the same dimensions as a playing card 

STEP 2! trace the design of your choice onto the paper with pencil, i would recommend practicing on paper first

STEP 3!draw the design with sharpie or if you want to use other means of drawing sand down the paper first with 300-400 grit paper and then color/draw

STEP 4!preheat the oven to 350 degrees F then place the shrinky dinks on a cookie tray that has wax or parchment paper, DO NOT USE FOIL!

oops i didn't use wax paper....horrible mistake

STEP 5! place in the oven for 2-3 min or until the paper is done un-curling, if even after its done uncurling you can flatten out further by placing the shrinky dink under a book

STEP 6!after the shrinky dinks are done shrinking take them out of the oven to cool

STEP 7!use the 527 glue to attach the earring posts onto the shrank shrinky dinks and wait 2 hours for them to dry...bake a cake or something while your waiting ;)

i accidently glued them on in the middle but i put an 'x' where you should glue the post

YAY your done with your earrings! now you can look like Bom...kinda
