I will post them soon though, but for now I wanted to put up something I've been so excited about. I've made my first tie! It was pretty easy. I came up with a very unique idea and went with it and I'm totally loving the way they turned out. I made them out of satin and black lace for a mysterious and dark romantic look.<br /></div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536998509016607874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj04G3sBNCstai_Ucgn5Y3R2YCUabXHxGGXCYQbIbVz_wIKASkE7B43Gx50ZtQlWpK82192fPI1xq9qRku9Fkqecd7VfwKgVXZnnx0cmCg83TibiV3pHyLOFQRutOlB0zy1YReYQn9aSbk/s400/016.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536998516014973394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9zGOCG-2ApzLnlzC-MphVprbAfkOQozVHOEIimbGw5P0CrnfRdUoVLHaQFvNNWDOnqyu-k2Wiuye3xUmGRqTvar_sV3ccBuk_PaY9UxPis6ID3RmjVGz80Rpx-ktDL822U2IHOMUUww8/s400/028.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536998526389025330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMKB66lst0eGSgb17MAdObOkyQGr6b-NpEd4uy2idENxKN1oldgykK-zhWNfGaGgng2G1cqIRffn-tmECPJ3kVxFcqk2Nd9XKAn17q2Hzj4pjeQIU2FNEfGCSUlOPsoDgt5c8SEcKtP9Q/s400/036.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536998502635045938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFwAo6WsuSVQwyUjE4uXTtIVOTCd2Ssml5SepCSzHz9kj6RFdwpUSR_K4DA-PIS77Y4FBZ8rmu7Q4jmndyiApAK88U-2LtF8lDRKFRuaJFY6s49r6BRv8qihcgiNVxkWtebKVeWY7A86I/s400/cartoonguys.JPG" border="0" /> <div>I gave them away to a couple friends of mine and they totally rocked it!

I made her sunny yellow blouse - puff sleeves, button up and tons of ruffles around the neck. She loves colours and always combines them in outifts in a very chic way.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvVfyWKkQbMAV8uZM67tMIJQThgSDEJ2PXKzhXf-EQkqxcmxNmirDOvDAbPKv5Hv80-IhqRERKnnZs4kPy-MGdyNbhHyQQ9dq3dNs8I6H37ZAp0kVc0DzzYh1jxN2jVuzPUCy2KLA5wx4/s1600/009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534054406403882210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvVfyWKkQbMAV8uZM67tMIJQThgSDEJ2PXKzhXf-EQkqxcmxNmirDOvDAbPKv5Hv80-IhqRERKnnZs4kPy-MGdyNbhHyQQ9dq3dNs8I6H37ZAp0kVc0DzzYh1jxN2jVuzPUCy2KLA5wx4/s400/009.JPG" border="0" /></a>Like mother like daughter!<br /><br /><div>Ciao:)</div>Honey Blisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09445604479747007082noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749118082032889288.post-35404798338976605232010-09-28T09:38:00.000-07:002010-09-28T19:38:26.701-07:00My Room and Re-Decorating PlansHi!<br /><br />So I'm totally slacking on my posts. I shouldn't be because I constantly have a lot of things to write about, one of them being my bedroom/studio. I have my bed and dresser on one side of my room, that I call my bedroom, and on the opposite wall I have my sewing machine and work table, that I call my 'studio.' The table started off being clean and tidy with nothing much really on it. But, of course, it now looks like this.<br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPiPw9TSljWQ5U_JZCBHCi1_E99_ucA1SIawWT8J7m_5GirSEu9d4q2Ka1no6aVclB1igb5XdN9vV_7bZvk1TbVThxnjEYzAldlzxwRSU47HKQv1CA1ch7P5xFsUlOd3z5EBNISiKmSyk/s1600/005.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522016709292087442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPiPw9TSljWQ5U_JZCBHCi1_E99_ucA1SIawWT8J7m_5GirSEu9d4q2Ka1no6aVclB1igb5XdN9vV_7bZvk1TbVThxnjEYzAldlzxwRSU47HKQv1CA1ch7P5xFsUlOd3z5EBNISiKmSyk/s400/005.JPG" border="0" /></a> I tell myself it's only because I am currently working on a few dresses at once, which makes sense because the table is a convenient spot to rest all of my work-in-progress.<br /><div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6L5zXXV5CkfjdHj-p8OyrSOp2F70-fqwIOwfhUdy3_eqU98gDgulgZEOhWt2Jk2T25aMoXcBHvOVlXPzeLzcLrQuFtf-cegW0cGInzWcrRh-qz_55t0ZMc1fV2KoB76XUymLatw3i_v8/s1600/003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522016701685149218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6L5zXXV5CkfjdHj-p8OyrSOp2F70-fqwIOwfhUdy3_eqU98gDgulgZEOhWt2Jk2T25aMoXcBHvOVlXPzeLzcLrQuFtf-cegW0cGInzWcrRh-qz_55t0ZMc1fV2KoB76XUymLatw3i_v8/s400/003.JPG" border="0" /></a>I've recently decided to renovate my room. My room is painted a lilac colour that I've grown out of and it darkens up my room. I don't get much sunlight in my room and the cool colour just makes my room look cold. I've chosen to repaint it a peach colour. It's much warmer and my room will look a bit sunnier. Not only will I paint the walls that colour but I will also, somehow, use a stencil to paint over it a white swirly pattern so that it resembles lace. I also plan on getting a new door, new furniture stuff and redoing my closet. Phew.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">I'm so excited to be working on this new project! I will be posting pictures and more posts showing its progress. My sister will also be redoing her walls. Her room is a sunny yellow, but she is going to paint it pink with glitter! I can't wait to see how that'll turn out and I'll add pictures of that to my blog as well.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Ciao for now!<br /><br /></div></div>Honey Blisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09445604479747007082noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749118082032889288.post-8612680012298976612010-08-25T07:20:00.000-07:002010-09-03T18:36:49.112-07:00So Many Dresses in So Little Time<p>Hey guys:)</p>So I've been occupied lately making dresses for a few of my friends who've placed custom orders with me. I was pretty nervous because I've only made custom clothing for myself, my sister and my mom. This was now my first job and I wanted it to be perfect. I've made 4 dresses so far and I must say I've learned quite a bit about proper fit and taking correct measurements. Now I feel that I might be ready to take custom orders for my clothing on <a href="http://www.honeybliss.etsy.com/">my shop</a>.<br /><br />So here are a few of the many pictures I took of my sewing journeys.<br /><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509360578628880194" style="DISPLAY: block;

To name a few of my favourite stylish gals are Olivia Palermo, Lauren Conrad, Rihanna and Vanessa Hudgens. But today I am compelled to write about my absolute favourite: Whitney Port! </span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502130758204943538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 284px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEwx7H9Mv6LJfVviSFfRaUWMgRUOB-pc9CTyGQHtbWkrhz9ClfAuZCnybe7akuYBvB5eAEMRIVesBdX4lrJHnbaYtBNgGbVgnGgVjbEBan9j1ucl26W_SJnqU1kg0vW-_6l6IJs-VYsLk/s400/whitney'scoolstyle.jpg" border="0" /></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Her style is so full of personality. It ranges from quirky with an eclectic mix of patterns, colours and/or fabrics to glam, downtown chic looks. Her style at times is reminiscent of the 60's/70's which I appreciate because I love the 70s/60s fashions. I love that she isn't shy with colours. She almost always wears bright colours, or muted pastel colour combinations or bold colourful patterns - sometimes toned down with a black or other neutral coloured staple. I love wearing colours (you will not find me wearing head to toe black on black) and my designs are a reflection of that.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502130761468658386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHST-yrirXA2LGkDFEXVNGEqy5-dnaVVWPuGLBjfaCvYFsRRwcmUEdIbsb0YGeH7CVgoH28v6FkQoX6_iKCjePl_kBL5Vmq7-u-zR5iVpOVx5ECMRLt0X0_X-KM9jPfM5SbxiJ1DMYlyM/s400/whitney'samazingstyle.jpg" border="0" /> <span style="font-family:arial;">This outfit, for example, is amazing. Although it is full black, it is so visually attractive! The mixture of black and white checkered over stripes and the triangular earrings - all these different patterns are skillfully put together. The nightlife heels, the nude chain bag and party hair could not be any more perfect of an addition to this look. This is an example of an amazing outfit I would store away in that 'special part' of my brain for future reference!</span><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502130763587112450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWj6eE1f4hoiMVl1Qq3F36HPKWzpNIF4lY1WeEb2oSsrXESW5zhFS6vItVkL4eQWsWPhqKS3h6RF-5Unqb2-EuuZetBQkk0avCRjSpK3B487DZlZ2DYuFlFqVvNZ8GG3YqubTz8T3qQRM/s400/whitney'sincrediblepastelcolouredoutfit.jpg" border="0" /> <span style="font-family:Arial;">I loved watching the City because it was very interesting and inspiring to see Whitney start up her line (which I'm in the middle of doing..on a much smaller scale of course), but I loved watching it because of her style. She had different spring-loving, pretty looks - hair, makeup, clothing - the whole package. </span><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502132711951583378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 229px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 345px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglbApT3N6pQ48mq9p29itt33P-H4Kx1N0JfNUv8XR5b5tIfH8e0-634WiPxZF2iZbQyk5TaXxsZfMayi3X9fXmpyNJkclTStf253q9_vYqxkYasrqFVDpcmYHB2sW4UPXJblTaEAcmVOM/s400/whitneysamazinghair.jpg" border="0" /> <span style="font-family:Arial;">First of all, let's briefly talk hair. She is well known for her full, wavy long hair with a centre part - which is fab in itself - but she also does little unique things like twisting a small portion of the front and tucking it back or braiding both sides of the front and pinning it back. She also does the cutest updo's perfect for summer, like twisting the front portions of hair and pulling everything back into a bun or even sporting a quick, messy-in-a-chic-way high bun on top of the head. I've worn my hair into a side braid with pastel coloured rose stud earrings inpsired a la Whitney:) It kind of reminded me of her when I wore my hair like that with the studs, and when my bestie saw me she was like, 'Omg! That's so Whitney!' And I was like, 'I know right!' </span><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502132706380246194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 349px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5m7dCzxpOBzT2vTbty0GvPznjQmuIszAOC5BONEHjg1Ji0msoEEdSjBqVufdKvba2Qqhj0TuMlTqh9cmJlt-ZAmgdHYpCuowTvFV65SDzKV5-rZSydDaSvCD4AXQ8_KuyslpST2w1Oqg/s400/greatoversizedsequinedblazeroutfit.jpg" border="0" /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">(I absolutely love the way she wore this oversized dvf sequined blazer! It could easily look overbearing but she paired it with mellow pieces to keep the glam under control. Now I feel the need to rock an oversized sequined blazer. I can see it now...amazing.)</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Then there's the makeup. Whitney usually sports minimal makeup for a fresh daytime look - pale lips and soft black eyeliner that emphasizes her big round eyes. A few other times she's added a pop of colour to her face with electric pink lipstick and a dewy complexion.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502130773257561426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 338px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGGha98NzJdOAbM5pcQ1GgyLVXOe_lILdpL9Ujm0665djZgGrCENYuB1gYTR20u1Gblfar1PM6QoJWL2ggow1mosGXkgbQNNRrzveAhmuF5gKgAtC0ig_luCHrFXfyEfcjnqx8MUNAAl8/s400/whitneythebeauty!beautifuldressandmakeup.jpg" border="0" /> <span style="font-family:Arial;">Her accessories are also great. For example, she wears these amazing pearl ball earrings with gold accents jutting out from underneath. They go very well with complementing her look. I think I'm subconsciously on a mission to find a similar pair. They're so chic and vintage looking..can you blame me?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">What is your favourite Whitney fashion moment?</span>Honey Blisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09445604479747007082noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749118082032889288.post-42154655961165054432010-07-17T17:31:00.000-07:002010-07-17T18:41:39.494-07:00My First Interview:)<div>Hi darlings!<br /></div><div>So I was featured for the first time in a blog!

I loved that it was a cotton jersey material featuring a polka-dot print and I especially loved the soft mauve colour! I didn't know what I was going to do with it yet but I bought a couple yards. I don't know how the idea for the dress came to me, but I love adding bow accents to things, so why not at the back of a dress! So here are some pictures of how this dress came to be!</div><div> </div><div>Ugh. So for some reason I can't see any of my pictures in my photo gallery to upload...it's never happened before and I don't know why it's chosen to not work at this particular time. Oh well, I guess I will try adding those pictures later...</div><div> </div><div>Ciao for now!</div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Honey Blisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09445604479747007082noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749118082032889288.post-35577298205291952252010-07-04T20:37:00.000-07:002010-07-04T21:43:59.445-07:00My Handmade Outfits<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Hi guys,</span><br /><br /><div align="center"><div align="left"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">So I've made a few outfits for myself for a weekend away at a dressy event. I showed you in my past posts the work in progress for my vintage inspired floral shirtdress and here is the finished look!</span><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"></span></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490270122610229346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 204px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjtVKjqskaV8quvu4hm8ZhdH5CLhZz_bHKSXWEDlMgXDdoFzUcXxBgNxMSoJxsFt1qWhKPhVZrdocp1MplEBEgdJcRJnoHA1efRd_S9am4Z23maKKVgiUM-WUS8vwUudQNVwGZiKM_cIo/s400/017.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p align="center">I paired it with a deep red patented belt, patented red pumps, an off white handbag and red rose stud earrings. </p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490272985965560978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiavz5YeegORNoiIjzj7l2BvKKwN69_LEhW5NvtLO3YKZWl6MYJ8SkrdRmiAh5P0V_LbsT1FjkwMM5f2m6QlRj49kkuv22q2HyWbXDFeNdqc6DKXXADtS30IVmlHVsfhEeiKzjY2NvvJKc/s400/050.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p align="center">So this was the outfit I was most excited about making because I was/am still totally loving the pastel, soft, neutral - kind of nude - colour palette. So the shoes and earrings I featured in past posts as well as the fabric. And voila!! Here is the final look. So the skirt is just your average pencil skirt. The blouse is a halter style top with ties to tie into a bow at the neck. I also added three rows of ruffles to the front. It is a lightweight top with lining underneath.</p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490272174408024370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhglWtz0DiySKAuW8LiqWiCLGoN9hTZpeZKzSr-icI1qZIRkiAc1ipKywoIuR1wbb060DXDLl3EAHuFimC0w-k_n6z5rZ6JyS1CzCsrbRJcJpHfyuGHv58vQPBY_F3-Em5n9wnYwx0QE1E/s400/045.JPG" border="0" /> This is the same look with the cardigan I carried around just in case it got a little chilly.<br /></p><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490275067224251490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwQ295JFFopNMdrBUAGBLfWd36F1Q1-5jQ4PazWEQYxb_Tj6mLC9_88K4_kLU9BDb1dI3exNML1wZAVUXlfm6iiqJeqfbaWhUqI6K6ttwhHNbNQKve6GCrMmtYGokT20RnFUfI2UhJA_I/s400/061.JPG" border="0" />So I really love this hairstyle and I feel its so summery and goes well with a variety of different looks. The skirt is handmade and I paired it with a button down white ruffle front top I bought. Wore it with silver heels, an off white handbag, silver bangles (with a white one in between) and silver stud earrings. As you may have noticed, I carried the same handbag with all 3 outfits (gasp!) but it was so convenient packing-wise since I was at a hotel in another city and it went very well with each of the outfits.<br /></div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490275058011693106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcZgQVyW-5GuvE095jSKdD10o9g7WAV1JqJwnkg5PX4JuXmszbyvM-ghaYMFrkqSHbnyncUoRUsaU8JqgM43Rw8VvAZ7Bj5F11UhYuP4sCy0nFEi71zw8BQnCDXKyJ1uHgDupOee_i8G8/s400/025.JPG" border="0" />So I hadn't taken a picture of this outfit but basically I was going out for dinner and just wore a pink tank top, my grey studded cardigan (that you can see in a couple pictures above with my polka dot halter), skinny jeans and heels. And a pair of light coloured rose stud earrings. Here I was just waiting in the car and really liked the glow of the sun beginning to set. I took a couple shots of the area but it was just mainly of the nearby highway which wasn't so beautiful so I won't post those.</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="left">Anyway, that's it for today..I am currently working on something new for my etsy shop that I am very excited about. So I will post some shots of that work in progress soon. </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Have a fashionable day!:)</div><div align="center"><br /><br /></div>Honey Blisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09445604479747007082noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749118082032889288.post-32482827252161964732010-06-15T22:37:00.000-07:002010-06-15T22:50:09.395-07:00My commercial for my Clothing for Daydreamers Spring/Summer 2010 CollectionSo here is the commercial!

What do you think? I had a little trouble with the dress though..I wanted to add an embellishment (silver ribbons at the shoulders to resemble fireworks). Then I had to step back and readjust my thinking. The dress screamed 'New Years Eve party' with the silver-ness on the shoulders..but if I left it plain, it would give the wearer more options with accessorizing and the dress would be more versatile (casual daytime dress, worn to the beach, can be dressed up for a night out). Here are pictures to show what I'm talking about...</span></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKtrbi0jv9ORl9BwNZEZJUdfTfhmIfOUoBWyyhdnc_0ZP_GgWw4KN7BcQgAEtFPpWZbKIcvpCmULM2dbd4D4qIPEu9ETFlH-MGzfCTDvcERFsovM0ao36vUYRGVyDzahNnP5F7K1rvm0k/s1600/025.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479536530652193666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 375px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKtrbi0jv9ORl9BwNZEZJUdfTfhmIfOUoBWyyhdnc_0ZP_GgWw4KN7BcQgAEtFPpWZbKIcvpCmULM2dbd4D4qIPEu9ETFlH-MGzfCTDvcERFsovM0ao36vUYRGVyDzahNnP5F7K1rvm0k/s400/025.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:85%;">First idea..still very fond of it.

We went in the evening which cooled us down after a superhot day. There were huge clusters of those tiny flies circling about in midair and my sister tried hiding her face in her shirt, in my hair, in my armpit just to avoid those flies getting into her mouth. It was hilarious! I totally enjoyed the walk even though I was also trying to avoid the pesky little flies too (especially when I was eating an ice cream cone). Here are some of the pictures I took.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-RE_W-o1U8wcEjwPviM5xw0i0sZWiHEE58h7ScOGZVlk0Widzvi8AmTTQ9eeEfVX5ZWin5RvFgU4XFbXGozxk2O3TgTwtFK65hXsQqm0qAH-Sx-9wkaScToPQtYboLyluTtQ4VJXeHDU/s1600/020.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475414750107822770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-RE_W-o1U8wcEjwPviM5xw0i0sZWiHEE58h7ScOGZVlk0Widzvi8AmTTQ9eeEfVX5ZWin5RvFgU4XFbXGozxk2O3TgTwtFK65hXsQqm0qAH-Sx-9wkaScToPQtYboLyluTtQ4VJXeHDU/s400/020.JPG" border="0" /></a> Beauty.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBR6LtyHZ3ZuNrK3V_Cx1IJoLsjzcNqwo2Ykb167tRO6TA3raiHG-__MMCiQbCk93-wbeuT9GYI1jX7ktP7WUOfSylt8eFB4FbgtZ2GWpx0RzXRCqprVyMRkOmLtSqByaa8hbeJfcobYE/s1600/025.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475414741662127426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBR6LtyHZ3ZuNrK3V_Cx1IJoLsjzcNqwo2Ykb167tRO6TA3raiHG-__MMCiQbCk93-wbeuT9GYI1jX7ktP7WUOfSylt8eFB4FbgtZ2GWpx0RzXRCqprVyMRkOmLtSqByaa8hbeJfcobYE/s400/025.JPG" border="0" /></a> So serene and peaceful, isn't it?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK33xk-vuf5ywbaxELM1L61mMl9YXC3qNc1sdQr0LcoPZhHvTEGHTxfo01q4RX3gIueGVyOHUhsY2RTgjj_rshC_xsCkBoKDqLGy2E9w7kMnXqVXPHl5jKQ658MKKru14WoNFS9hYOWQI/s1600/026.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475414738550580642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK33xk-vuf5ywbaxELM1L61mMl9YXC3qNc1sdQr0LcoPZhHvTEGHTxfo01q4RX3gIueGVyOHUhsY2RTgjj_rshC_xsCkBoKDqLGy2E9w7kMnXqVXPHl5jKQ658MKKru14WoNFS9hYOWQI/s400/026.JPG" border="0" /></a> Beautiful greenery illuminating in the sunlight.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQgNe0FglwDtvvcoBHWAb01wjWt-Z88AbInfi0krbkVaTThkedyxH9mGN5S3-Jl-pRgd1aQwT-p2Hfl_BEqhSnQcEOld-kaZIQH1aVNzg-x8NjW6T7d0FsPFeLXC9HOdbmftrfCdgWGPA/s1600/014.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475414733334238130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQgNe0FglwDtvvcoBHWAb01wjWt-Z88AbInfi0krbkVaTThkedyxH9mGN5S3-Jl-pRgd1aQwT-p2Hfl_BEqhSnQcEOld-kaZIQH1aVNzg-x8NjW6T7d0FsPFeLXC9HOdbmftrfCdgWGPA/s400/014.JPG" border="0" /></a> These rocks are beautiful.

I went to an Oriental mall on Saturday looking for a pair of soft neutral coloured shoes and a cardigan to go with an outfit I'm planning to make. I am in LOVE with the shoes I bought and we were able to bargain it down to an unbelievable price! Let's just say I got these shoes for under $40!! They are so stylish, the colour is PERFECT and they are so darn comfortable. <br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilQ86xLhehugFp3FGvJcLENhabxX1tPHC1miUvptIqtYcTJtk-wROJT9RNgRj7iKCwIGHJ9E0hVdwH9tyOKhfiMKN2eMUq1ynU_xrMoKsOkYa8l_fjLE5RCk0F4cq8maDgd2_kiwt_9Y0/s1600/fabsoftbeigeshoes.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472263566805472066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 265px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilQ86xLhehugFp3FGvJcLENhabxX1tPHC1miUvptIqtYcTJtk-wROJT9RNgRj7iKCwIGHJ9E0hVdwH9tyOKhfiMKN2eMUq1ynU_xrMoKsOkYa8l_fjLE5RCk0F4cq8maDgd2_kiwt_9Y0/s320/fabsoftbeigeshoes.JPG" border="0" /></a> Do you love 'em or do you LOVE 'em?</div><div align="center"><br /></div><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEiJnDquyigrZ6PzCslf5dYg4zQq2kwsn6LSGzVnUNNmFQ6IhKI051i_yAV0T0Qeiu1ueea8sqc8g2_-S3xr8Sc1MiVSDch0s9NFjNAy7dl2HhbP5fQ-6UUKjmET9G31Yyn4r2HfbJm4A/s1600/062.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472262060803325762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 195px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEiJnDquyigrZ6PzCslf5dYg4zQq2kwsn6LSGzVnUNNmFQ6IhKI051i_yAV0T0Qeiu1ueea8sqc8g2_-S3xr8Sc1MiVSDch0s9NFjNAy7dl2HhbP5fQ-6UUKjmET9G31Yyn4r2HfbJm4A/s320/062.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center">The fabric I'm using for the outfit I'm planning.

I have accessorized it with a thin red patent belt.<br /><br />I will be wearing it to an event coming up in June. I will post a photo of my head to toe finished look.<br /><br />By the way, this dress was supposed to be part of my Daydreamers Collection for Honey Bliss, but only a limited amount of this fabric was available at the store and I really wanted to make myself this dress. Also, the day of the photoshoot crept up and I hadn't even touched the fabric yet so I decided to just make it mine:) I will make a dress like this for my shop some time in the future though, for sure.<br /><br />Anyway, about to watch 90210 so bye for now!Honey Blisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09445604479747007082noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749118082032889288.post-62360472207018582292010-05-10T12:34:00.000-07:002010-05-10T13:12:26.346-07:00Button Down Garden Dress Project & Fave New EarringsHey guys! Welcome to my blog and my first post:)<br /><br />So I recently bought these stud earrings.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0wj9ORTxzREiwcInzJZQFJGW0Mij74MM9cN1FZS60eN1ychMVhyjIyxfl7bRH5OBwCTO7EgiZTEOL1fFULaG8QkEkVta5dMV8PY7oc9YJQ314yShnPPdKjlpqASvYagWcsAflrpHGb-M/s1600/020.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469728133021388514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 173px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0wj9ORTxzREiwcInzJZQFJGW0Mij74MM9cN1FZS60eN1ychMVhyjIyxfl7bRH5OBwCTO7EgiZTEOL1fFULaG8QkEkVta5dMV8PY7oc9YJQ314yShnPPdKjlpqASvYagWcsAflrpHGb-M/s320/020.JPG" border="0" /></a>I absolutely ADORE them. They are supercute and feature 2 of my favourite trends for this spring/summer season: Flowers and Pastel/Neutral colours. I would love to create a dress inspired by all three of these lovelies!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469733721706616946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 147px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbdvHvIm20aQPLY3VAOB8c_droaPSqsA_vzMKS1dC6a0lG4-sRecaVG8THBScNXmsqAb71SazMCqllvMhQdFVBJKzDvLFdinPJ6Fo4WAB4zo_xPRuPf0FuMsvs3FfwuPQaazTvyvcJ7AE/s320/dress1.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div align="left">As I exclaimed in my recent youtube video, I finally bought a dress form. It was hard for me to find one. I needed it to be pinnable, adjustable and I really wanted a white or light grey one. But only the reds were available online but the shipping was way too much and some sites didn't even ship to Canada. So I ended up searching for shops that sell sewing supplies in my area, devoted a whole morning to phoning each one of them and successfully found one that had the very same dressform I wanted at an incredible price. So happy! So I made a skirt and I'm making myself a button down floral dress right now. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469733727396430146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 154px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMOqV63OHra6X2iSjnMPyPFDrnJ4q6i8A_DpgknphwhtxCGlbvmNteTYl9oY8E9NciDO_W2rgkSdmIJGUHD0Nk0NuEKBaXAoqB-RSlmSpDbDOwyZPEWZK-UC_OdeaBqXO0ft75MsnXw28/s320/dress3.JPG" border="0" /></div><div align="center">Added the collar.<br /><br /></div><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469733736526668098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 220px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEievl1eKV7iQlNPR8oH3vkHSg-EIDStGq5ciVeSNUmZO7H2zr67vXfcsKLPp-p0543pmDI-oK8CL5kgPvAJQWqpDFTLR_uBAX0aLZ9bKpvgprc6oS54cgPzlWKQBOu3VB12j1UmAbzamE4/s320/dress4.JPG" border="0" /></p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469733746286808978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 181px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_lqEYtUw80bloGbrXzAhoW4n9EEL_u414HV8WzP0znzuzaz88VTsHfRRbpsQUJhQkWRILp3XSIwcJ2TAOOAOa9xFNd5rCUzjE9FMui_38z1vAjv71UEtPtwjtMcPhn0Gdo3b5av7UWZc/s320/005.JPG" border="0" />The sleeves.<br /></p>Honey Blisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09445604479747007082noreply@blogger.com0
