DIY Romper and OOTD x 3 (picture heavy!)

Hey!! I'm back with another long post just to make up for being mia for so long =]

I just wanted to share some OOTD as well as featuring one of my creations; a romper (I made this last summer when I went crazy over sewing, recently I've been cooling off from any sewing projects but I'm planning on getting back to it soon =]). I don't know what fabric I used sorry, I'm still new to all of this. But the fabric is thin and see-through-ish, very soft and not stretchy at all =[. It wrinkles very easily =[. The linings is a whitish/pearly-ish stretchy fabric, I lined the romper just so that the romper isn't see-through anymore.


Ok, let me show you my DIY romper, hope you all like it =]...

My DIY romper =]

Pockets!

Pearl-ish/white-ish linings

Ugly hem finish, but no one can actually see it, so it's ok =]

I have no camera with me so I'm temporarily using my iPhone
Ignore the socks please =]

Side view, do I need a haircut? it's getting quiet long now><

Belt was a gift from my lovely sister =]

Just wanted to show off my 1L water bottle LOL, It looks bigger in real life but it looks ok in this picture, no? and I really like my hair in this picture (I had it in a donut bun! =O)
- I think the game that we were playing is called RUMMY-O (It's SO FUN! s2)

Ok that was it but I wanted to share a couple of my other simple outfits (I always were the same accessories such as my Swarovski heart-shaped pendant, my Mosaic dual circle bracelet, and my Steve Madden Satchel-I'm pretty boring in terms of accessories and sometimes I'm boring in terms of shoes as well. I wore the same snake-skin gladiator from my last OOTD post)

$4 white tee from Bluenotes
$7 plain white tank top from H&M
$1 or $2 belt from my sister from Bluenotes (she really knows how to shop =])
$20 loose shorts with pockets from H&M

 

 

 

Sporting my Steve Madden Satchel as a crossed body bag =]

Photo effect with iPhone =]

Okay now moving on to my third and last outfit, I promise =]....Sorry for the long post!

$4 tee from Bluenotes
Another pair of old shorts from Sirens
Sunglasses from BUFFALO David Bitton
$50 Steve Madden Satchel from Winners
$30 Blowfish Gladiators from Sterlings

Wavy hair =]

I had to cut off my friend so this picture turned out his way =]
Btw, I got ugly tan lines from shorts and gladiator after that day walking at the park =[

Closer look at my bag and gladiators?
Btw, these two last pictures were taken with a DSLR see the difference in the quality between the DSLR and my iphone4? =[... Oh oh oh that DRLR that I'm holding in this picture is NOT MINE T_T. But I do want one =]

GO ON... LAUGH AT ME =[
That was my old phone but now I've got the whity s2 and no, I don't want iPhone 5 because I like my whity the way she is =]

Ok ok, I'll leave you all alone now =], sorry for all the OOTD. Maybe it was a bad idea to post them all at once? Now I have nothing else to post in the near future LOL, Ok maybe that's not true, but still, this is such a longg post!! Hope you all had a wonderful FATHER's DAY!!! My family and I just had a casual dinner at home and we still enjoyed every moment of it with tons of laughter and yummy food =P

Let me know what you think of the OOTD and my ROMPER! =O

Okay, I won't be making another post until mid to end of next week at the earliest because I have an essay due next Wednesday on Jewish wedding! AND I have some personal reasons that I might NOT be back till mid of JUNE SORYYYY >< That's why I'll just throw in an attempt to colorblock an outfit that I wore last Tuesday when it was SUPER HOT in Toronto!!! around 30 degrees but feeling like 40 degrees!!! (hottest day of the year soo farrr oh emm geee.. soo hot!!)...kk let me show you my attempt =P

It's not an extreme colorblocking outfit but I trieddd><
and SORRY for the bad picture quality!!

- Copped top from H&M
- Plaid green short shorts from sirens? or stitches? bought this 5-6 years ago><

See what I mean, when I said I have simple fashion style?, I wear these accessories every single day!!! because my Mister bought it for me =]
- Swarovski heart-shaped 2-in1 necklace (one side with all crystal, the other side with scattered crystals)
- double-circle bracelet from MOSAIC

I wore these shoes s2.... from Sterling

Carried this Steve Madden baby that I bought at Winners s2

That's all I came up with.. not really colorblocking eh? but oh well, I still liked the outfit! perfect for the hot weather!, can you believe it? it was that hot on tuesday (feeling like 40 degrees) and today (Thursday) it was like 12 degree!! what's up with that??

Anyways, hope you all have a have a nice week! and talk to you all soon I hope! =], but I will still try to read your blog posts even thought I won't be having enough time to post anything new on my blog!... Talk to you then!

Thank you again Tiffo for this sweet award!

Royal Wedding 2011

I was so excited to come home from my last exam and switch on the TV to see if there were any news and/or clips on the Royal Wedding of William and Kate. I was most excited about her dress and I must say she had the most gorgeous dress ever! As I was watching the news before where people were predicting her dress and some say her dress must be costume-like to some degree because this is not a typical wedding! So that automatically put a rough picture in my head of something overdone, non-modern, excessive and all of that but when I finally saw the dress I was stunt! I was so glad with her pick of this chic, modern, elegant dress by Sarah Burton! It's totally something suitable for a Royal Wedding with a hint of modernness and current style. I love her fitted bodice with long sleeves made out of lace which brings a touch of elegance and romantic feel to it. I absolutely love her dress! Her train was just right, not too long and not too short. Her hair and makeup was very neutral and beautiful, with a simple but elegant tiara on her half up and half down loose curled hair. What I am curious now is her heels, I wonder what she was wearing! and did u see her gigantic royal blue engagement ring? it's so stunning!

*All pictures belongs to their onwer, I just found them on google image =]*

What do you guys think about the Royal Wedding? did you like the dress? What was your specially wedding moment? I also loved how the ring didn't fit which really shows that they are human as well!!! Mistakes can happen but that will just add on to their amazing memory and make a cute story to their future children. I wish them all the best in the future for a prosperous and happy life s2.
