Gossip Girl!

Yes! Gossip girl is back and so is the motivation for all those clothes, shoes, accessories and DEFINITELY the drama! I couldn't wait to get home and watch the first episode of the season, and as expected I couldn't stop awe-ing at the clothes! Well here is a glimpse, couldn't wait to share it with all of you :)


 I like to refer to these as the waterfall earrings, and her top made me go online and search for it! I need that in my wardrobe! Isn't she just gorgeous?


 I love the contrast of yellow and sea-green turquoise neck piece! I wannTT!

 Blair's Wedding! <3

 My next holiday destination is definitely LA!

 Rufus looks better than ever before! I somehow find him really really yummy in this episode! He seems to have lost some weight and some grooming! Its all worth it, Ruf!

 Droool!


 Natey Nate Nate! The yummiest of all! I love them both together. I hope this season has something in store for them together :)


 Ignore S's expression, focus on the man at the back! Yummy-licious!






 AND THAT dress! Mike Gonzales Chiffon dress! Saw it in the premiere and couldn't wait to get a full look at it. And its my best pick of the episode! The red neckpiece only compliments it further! Wait till you see the parrot-green Louis Vuitton bag! Its a treat!




 Beautiful, isn't it?

 Are you getting a hang of why I couldn't stop awe-ing at the clothes?!



 I love how perfectly she can carry off the entire 'untidy' look!


I loved the contrasts and the colour blocking in the outfits! Red heels with the gorgeous white dress, with a green print. And below, bright green with turquoise!


A glimpse of Hurley and the beautiful animal print dress she wore.

 Aw! Poor poor lonely boy! Watch the episode and you will know what I am talking about. I don't wana spill the beans.






 Handsome little thing, you, Chuck Bass! I am going to buy my boyfriend a Chuck Bass Wardrobe very very soon!




 Another drool worthy outfit! The silver Mathew Williamson vest and a size tail skirt from the Rag and Bone series.

 Don't miss her messy look!


 And we have an addition to the characters to drool at! Ms Hurley! With all the plunging necklines and dresses hugging her curves.




 Don't we all want a handsome prince, who would gift us all the diamonds in the world just to get us out of the room! Haha! ;)


 AND also stand up for us!


SO WHO REALLY IS PREGNANT!?

I can't wait!
Till the next time,

Overwhelming trend

Hey you guys! I sincerely apologise for being away all this while. One thing led to another and then I thought I needed something major to come back with and make up for all the time I have been away. A big hearty thank you to all those who kept motivating me all this while I was away.

Now, one thing I couldn't stop myself from doing was, going through blogs. And I came across this blog and I was 'awe-d'. I had seen the trend of wearing a long sleeve shirt as a skirt but I hadn't seen it done this well and look this good on anyone before. And though I am STILL loaded with all the work and everything, I couldn't help but share it with you guys.

This is the link to J's blog post. J's Blog

Until next time.

DIY: Denim Waistcoat

Hey guys! So here's another DIY for you guys, this one is comparatively simpler, but I enjoyed doing this one a tiny bit more.
The other day while cleaning my closet, I came around this very pretty denim shirt. What I loved about it were the little details of chicken embroidery on it. Now when I wore it, it was too short for me, and a little tight on the arms *sigh*. I didn't want to throw it/give it away. I have saved it all these years for a purpose and the time had come for me to do something about it and this is what I did..

This is what the shirt looked like before..


The details on it.




STEP I:


Equally measure from both the sides of the shoulders, where you would want the strap to start. And at the arm hole, as you deep as you want it to be. Now extend these lines and make them meet at a 90 degree angle. Make a curve around the vertex.






STEP II:

Now using these lines as guides, cut along them, both the sides.




STEP III:

Now for the inner portion, make another marking, this one for the thickness of the strap. I didn't want it too thick, but you can alter it according to what you feel comfortable in.





STEP IV:

From approximately half a centimeter above the second button, make a straight line, perpendicular to the button seams of the shirt and extend it a little. Join the marking made in the previous step and this one.















This will make it a V-shape. If you want something more round, like I prefer it, make 90 degree angle with both the markings, like in Step I and make a curve at the vertex.



STEP V:

Cut along the edges. I have shown how both, round neck and V-shape would look.




STEP VI:

As shown, cut along the edges of the collar, for the back of the waist coat, if you want it collared, then skip this step.






STEP VII:

For the back, make a U-shape. 

If you are keeping the collar, make two sides of a trapezium, just like in Step IV. Be careful with your measurements.





If you want the buttons stop here, and you have your waist coat ready, if you want to jazz it a little more, read on..

STEP VIII:

Hold the button right from the edge of the stitching, as shown in the picture and cut it off from there. Don't worry about the extra cuts, we need them.









STEP IX:

Hold the cut area, as in the picture, and cut it in a retina shape. Don't worry if it is untidy. 






STEP X:
I have used a pink lace in this one, you can put in any ribbon or any piece of waste cloth, put it in the way you like it, there are many ways. You can check them out here.


I added a little detail with the flower on the left shoulder. I made the flower myself. I shall go buy new ribbon and show how to make them as well.


AND FINALLY YOU'RE DONE!!!
Go flaunt it over racer backs, or tank tops or simple t-shirts or shirts to make them trendier! And this season, denim over denim isn't a sin, so bring out the 70s vibe in you and pair it with a denim shorts or just jeans.




I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did!
Do let me know if you try it!

Love
