I immediately fell in love with this dress and I had to have it! However, I must say that it is IMPOSSIBLE to drive in. Unless you have someone else driving you around, I suggest you do something else to it... which is exactly what I did. The last picture demonstrates what the unaltered dress looks like. The sleeves are pretty long and I have this constant fear that if I sit down without scrunching the dress up, it will RIP. So to make driving and maneuvering around easier, I decided to use the two sleeves to form a bow that sits at the waist. Creative, huh? Until next time!
DO you guys ever find yourself wishing for more time? Whether it's to study for an exam, elongate a well deserved vacation or anything of the likes, just try to stay optimistic. Things could be worse! For those of you who read my previous post, I just have so much to do this month and that bright light at the end of the tunnel seems quite far. Just thinking about it is making my mind whirl but I am maintaining my sanity through music and exercise. I tend to listen to the Amélie soundtrack whenever I need to concentrate and it really makes me want to pick up both my violin and piano again. Sure, I play some of my favorite pieces on the piano from time to time but I would love to challenge myself with some new music.
To all the mother's out there, I hope you had a wonderful day! My mom is my number one supporter and she is always there for me: presentations, performances, you name it! She even takes 98% of my outfit pictures! I know I don't show it all the time but thank you for everything! I love you, mom!
On that special day, my mom and I both woke up at 8AM with the intention of going out but it took us 5 hours to get ready! We faced the gruesome test of choosing what to wear. Before we went back home, we made a pit stop at...d r u m r o l l....Sprinkles Cupcakes! Little did we know that there would be an incredibly long line! But then again it was inevitable since it was Mother's Day. My mom tried to convince me to forget about the cupcakes but we were already there so I basked under the sun (the line was so long it went out the door and into the parking area - Newport Beach location) for about half an hour.
I received the floral pants pictured here courtesy of Chictopia and LuLu's. Although spring is reaching an end, I can't get enough of floral prints! As you all may be aware, coral is "in" this season and it matched perfectly with these pants. When I first received these pants, I did not have anything to pair it with so my mom decided to take apart an old top and use it as a pattern to make a new one! Yes, the top I am wearing is another one of my mom's designs!
I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter weekend! People around my area tend to wear casual and comfortable clothes, i.e. t-shirts and jeans, however this holiday brought about a city full of pastels and floral dresses. I just love going to my local arts and crafts store during this time of year! If any of you have watched The Devil Wears Prada, then you might remember the infamous quote, "Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking." I know it might be a bit passé but who can resist a good floral dress, top or jacket? Anyways, I decided to whip out this floral collage dress by Tracy Reese from the back of my closet. To maintain a demure appearance, I decided to stick with the rose color scheme that was already present on my dress.
Spring time blues in California this week! The weather is making quite an interesting detour and it seems as if some scattered showers will be resonating well into next week. I suppose this may be a good time to get some "Spring Cleaning" in. But for those who are experiencing better weather or plan on going elsewhere, do you guys have any Spring Break traditions? Traveling to Cancun or Tijuana or possibly an exotic island such as the Maldives, Bali or Fiji? Whatever your plans may be, I hope you enjoy this new season.
A quick post featuring this very versatile Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Crossbody - courtesy of Snapette. Winter is reaching its denouement and the sun seems to rise earlier each day... making it that much more difficult to find a place to take outfit shots. For those of you who are feeling the heat, I hope you are finding ways to keep cool! Anyone want to hit the beach? (:
