60s style

Hello everyone! Here’s a photo shoot that I did of the blouse that I was telling you about. There’s this really beautiful, old abandoned church that’s over by my house and it’s a really cool place for doing photo shoots. There’s this old lady who lives right beside it, and she came out right while I was in the middle of the photo shoot. She took one look at me, stared for a second, and then went right back inside her house. Haha I feel bad, I must have scared her off.









^Check out this cute little guy ^_^





I made my blouse using the Built by Wendy 4112 pattern. I made a few adjustments to the sleeves and neck tie. The leather shorts actually used to be pants that I got from Goodwill on the 50% off day.

I also made the sunglasses that I’m wearing. The frames are cut out from the cover of an old hardbound book. I then painted the frames orange and took clear finger nail polish for a protective layer. The lenses are cut out of a two liter pop bottle. They’re a bit flimsy, but still fun to wear :)

I hope that you all have a lovely day!!

BurdaStyle Interview

Hello everyone!! How’s your week been going so far? A couple weeks ago the lovely people at BurdaStyle asked about doing an interview about the process of making the masking tape dress. If you’d like you can check it out here :)



Also, sorry I’ve been so slow in posting lately. I only have 3 weeks of school left so I’ve been busy working on my final presentations that I have to give along with studying for the dreaded finals week D: Along with that I’ve been studying for the SAT which is, of course, the same week of my finals (oh I’m so nervous!) Do you have any studying tips that you felt worked for you when studying for the SAT? If so I’d love to hear them! I finished sewing a blouse the other day, so hopefully I’ll be able to take pictures of it later this week.

Until then, I hope that you all have a fabulous day and hopefully I’ll be able to post more things later this week!
