I dont like Mondays

I came across this store online called "i don't like mondays" and they had the most amazing DIY inspiration! I say DIY because all of their stuff is a little out of my price range, so the only way I will ever wear any of it is if I make it with my own two hands. :) Sometimes its so awesome being crafty.

After going to my friend's metal show last weekend I realised I have no black clothing anymore! Since then I have subconsciously been drawn to some of the darker fashion trends. Don't get me wrong, I still love a good pastel or neon, but something about the biker-rock-chic look is really calling to me.

So for your Monday viewing pleasure, all of my (hopefully) future projects:

Cut out shorts - easy peasy

Twisted tube top

Easier said than done, Shredded T

Cool Sheer Panel Button Down

Torn Jeans without the tears

Except I think I would do it with leather!

You see these everywhere (sorta) and I want one! Her necklace is really cute too

A dip-dyed tank dress = cute!

I know it may seem a bit out there but I think its pretty cool

Denim Vest

Its probably easier to just buy these

The shirt and shorts are both really cute.

I kinda want to buy these, they also come in black

Thats all for now!

Back bone slip

I am a big fan of this shirt:



I was alterted to it through http://www.outsapop.com/, which is a super great blog full of totally do-it-yourselfable finds like this one.



How easy would that be?!



I shall file it under "to dos". This is starting to become a very large file...

This shirt originally came from Pixie Market, even though I can't find it on the site anymore you should still go check out thier stuff, its all really funky and decently priced.

When life gets in the way

I feel terrible every time I think of the fact I haven't been on here since APRIL! If anyone still cares, here is what has been keeping me away for so long:

- I finished my third year of University, exams and all (woot!!)

- I packed all of my posessions into a minivan (minus a few sad items that didnt make the space limit cut)

- I drove said minivan full of all of my posessions and furniture to Toronto

- Where I convinced my parents it wasnt that much stuff and they could store it for me. (Love you Mom!)

- I finalized my contract for my summer job, which I start on Tuesday

- I went to to the fabric store and bought some great fabric for upcoming projects!

Look at all that!

This will be a dress

Purse

Skirt for work



I am very excited!

The Infinity Dress

For as long as there has been American Apparel I have wanted an Infinity dress. I have something similar called "le sac" (Le Sac Dress) but it doesnt hold the promise that a true infinity dress does.

The Donna Karan version is a cool $995. - Donna Karan

It's also a popular choice for bridesmaid dresses - Twist wrap

The original Inspiration: American Apparel

So I have decided to make my own!! There are plenty of tutorials out there, here are two:

Rostitchery

Sew Like My Mom

It looks pretty easy, now all I have to do is find the right fabric.

I'll keep you posted.

And just for fun, an old photos of me in my Le Sac.

Finding Inpiration at PotteryBarn.com

I know I don't own a house, but I love interior decor. A girl can dream about having a Pottery Barn home someday can't she? Of course.

For now I will be content making pretty wall art, pillows and lamps for my more settled friends and family. Such as my parents, who can't say no to a pretty pillow made by yours truly :D

Here are a few things I think I could totally pull off:

 

Botanical Wall Art

Oversized Table Pedestal Floor Lamp

Pretty Butterfly Pillows

Wooden Shoe Ladder (I would probably make mine a little less "distressed")

On a side note: Did you know you can buy a set of vintage keys for $20
