Nani, the seamstress!! (◡‿◡✿)

I have become a seamstress!!
 

(well...not really. lol  (´ω｀★) 
BUT! I've finally gotten around to sewing and customizing a pair of shorts I have! 
With the help of my wonderful mommy and lots of time and effort, I was able to turn an ordinary blue pair of shorts into a very fabulous and very cute gyaru inspired design! ♥ 
 

This is how the shorts looked before:

And this is how they looked after! 

I sewed on the pink lace trim, sewed the lace onto the pockets and added the chain, of which I also made myself!   
I used my mother's old sewing machine, which is actually over 30 years old!  I will find a picture of it to show you guys soon...because it is extremely old compare to the newer ones, but it still works like new!

I used the sewing machine for the trim, and a combination of the machine and stitching by hand for the pockets.
And then of course I connected the pearl chain and silver chain together and added the little pink bows!

I'd say that the most difficult part was probably sewing the lace around the pockets >.< I messed up soooo many times and at one point I'd even sewn one of the leg openings closed with the machine and had to re-do the entire pocket!   EXTREMELY frustrating. The front pocket in particular isn't perfect (if you look closely you may see it's imperfections) but I suppose it'll do.

But even still, I'd say this was pretty good for it being my first time sewing something since I was a child!  Around 13 or 14 years old my mom taught me how to sew for the first time and we'd made pillows together, but I ended up forgetting everything entirely!   

So she had to teach me everything all over again, which I am actually really thankful for! If it hadn't been for her help I don't think they would have turned out so nicely...I'm super duper grateful!♥ 

Also, in my last post I put up some models who are my current inspiration.
And noooow...I'm gonna put up some pictures of items that are on my wishlist! :D
I will be turning a lovely 22 years old in June, so I figure now's the time to do it! lol haha

The majority of these things I'll probably never be able to buy, but it's still fun to show them so that everyone has an idea of what looks I'm going for this summer.♥ 

I'm going for a sweet, girly gyaru look for this summer. *(*´∀｀*)☆ I've already found two dresses and a bag at three stores in my town...one is from rainbow and one is from this Korean store right down the street from my job! And the bag is from Discovery fashion ^_~

^^From Rainbow


^^From Discovery



^^From Korean store

I was shocked that I could fit a Korean size small :O I thought I'd at least have to wear a medium, but that was actually too big..I was like 'wut'??! xD

I've also been practicing on a particular look I've been wanting to create with my make-up as well, I want to create rainbow eyes!
 

Of course mine probably won't turn out nearly as nice as these pictures lmao. But I see them all the time and now I'm ready to try it on myself. I just bought Urban Decay setting spray, Smashbox face primer, new foundation and new bottom lashes so I'm ready!! :DD
 

Oooh and for those of you who may have noticed how my music player is acting all weird...lol I don't know what's wrong with it, but I'll try to get it fixed ASAP! If anyone knows a better music player, please let me know...I'm getting annoyed with hypster now. :C

That's it for now! Be back soon   d=(´▽｀)=b

Omg where the fawk have I been...ughhh -__-

I've been totally neglecting this poor 'ole blog of mine!
There, there! *pats computer tower* All is well! You knew I'd come back to you eventually.♥





But I guess the main reason is because not too much has been going on lately. Well actually a lot has been going on, just not too many fun events I suppose, which means I haven't had too many oppurtunities to dress up and look nice. (┳Д┳)
And I haven't worn any real make-up in days!  I've just been too busy and tired with other stuff that I've been doing, so no pictures of coords or make. *sad face* Though I will update on all the stuff I've been doing!


I am trying to lose weight, so I joined the YMCA!

Now before anyone goes "zoooomg yu dont need to lose any weight, ur already lyke soooo skinnyz!!!111" let me explain! I am NOT trying to lose weight because I think I'm fat, I am nowhere near being fat of course! I want to do so because since I've gained weight, I've also gone up 2 dress sizes (from a size 3 to a 5 and now currently a 7) and some of my clothes don't fit as nicely as I want them to anymore. 


Also I don't like where the weight is on my body. It seems to be mainly on my stomach and my bum. <=/
I don't want to be a size 3 again, but a size 5 would be just perfect.♥ And in attempt to achieve this goal, I've been working out every. single. day. (;´ρ`) The pain and soreness is friggin unbearable at times, as I am extremely out of shape lol. (Pro-sendentary lifestyle here) But the effort will certainly produce the results I'm hoping for! No pain, no gain...or in my case, no lose. ^_~

As far as fashion goes, I went to Ulta cosmetic store a while back with my mom and did a mini haul (★^O^★):

(from l to r)
-Katy Perry Eyelashes by eylure in "Oh, My!" style
-Freshwater Mist Fragrance body spray
-Benefit Little Flirt lashes
-Kimmie Kyees press on nails
-NYX xtreme lip cream in 'Absolute Red'


Like a kid in a candy store! I haven't gotten the chance to play with these goodies yet, but I'm already planning out how I want to wear all of them!♥


And my boots from Yumetenbo came as well:

I was having a hard time deciding on which pair but I finally chose this pair because I feel like they were more 'me'...glamorous and flashy! 


I love shoes from Yumetenbo! So far this is my 4th pair that I've gotten. :3

^^This pair is hands down my most favorite pair...I can't even say how many compliments I get whenever I wear them out!♥


And perhaps the biggest and BEST news is that I FINALLY was able to buy my own laptop computer!
So I decided to go with a beautiful pink Sony Vaio...of course.

^^Cute bubble screensaver!


I bought it on the 25th of February, and I am in love with it! It's probably the best computer I've ever owned to be honest...I've had some pretty ratchet computers in my lifetime. :p


But sadly (Yes...there's a downfall to this happy story :'( ) after owning it for only 5 days the LCD screen decides to go out on me randomly. I hadn't dropped it, spilled water on it or anything. I just turned it on one day and the screen was black, though the computer itself was running.  Since it's a brand new computer I really don't even understand how the LCD could've gone out so quickly.


So now it's basically been like this in my room since then:

Luckily I also bought a warranty for it, but so far that hasn't been helpful at ALL. I've been calling Sony millions of times trying to see when someone is going to come out and fix it, yet I keep getting the same standard line, "Someone will contact you within 3 to 5 business days." -_-


But it's been like...2 weeks and no one has contacted me. So that's a load of horsesh*t!!!! 


In the meantime I've had to use my older, slower, way more aggravating outdated computer, which would explain why I didn't post this blog sooner. (Because it takes forever to do ANYthing on here and I become so undeniably pissed off...ugh. )  SO not pleased with Sony at the moment.

[/END RANT]

Anyhoo, I tried being patient. But if I haven't gotten a call from Sony by Thursday I am sending it back, they WILL send me a new one and they WILL pay for BOTH shipping charges. I spent waaaay too much money on this thing,  so it needs to work! >=/




So that's basically the 411! lol. Nothing too big as you can see.
OH! And I meant to ask as well, Who's going to Acen in April???


If anyone is going, please let me know! ^_~
