Misfits

spent the weekend doing homework, studying for drama exam, at sewing classes (I've finished my dress @ the make den(link here). Really hectic I still have a lot of homework to do + Christmas shopping (I do most online, so I have to rush because of shipping. dug out this old crochet top. any christmas plans?

Holiday Shopping

{read the entire post, or don't bother being here...}

Let me introduce you to etsy, if you don't already know. Here you will find unique, inexpensive (typically) and crafty goods for all sorts of purposes. Etsy is a creative way of thinking, so let it inspire you even if it doesn't lead to a purchase on the site. Here are my best picks (links below each lead to top 8-9).

Best Friend:

Quilted Chain Shoulder Bag: $26.00USD / Cute Upcycled Hair Bow: $6.00 USD

For the unlimited budget and the almost invisible "budget", though sometimes even a small stocking stuffer (when picked correctly with plenty of love) will make a friend just as happy.Nothing says, best friends forever like matching hair ties or a black leather bag for the fashionable friend.

MORE FOR BEST FRIENDS

Sister:

Cat Eye Sunglasses: $9.99USD/ Speech Bubble Earrings: $4.90USD

Sister's are always difficult to shop for. Picky and rarely sharing our exact taste yet we still have the most fun buying their presents. This Christmas, I plan on impressing my sister with etsy gifts so why not have a go at it yourself? Cat eyes and quirky earrings always result in smiles all around, share the love!

MORE FOR SISTERS

Moms:

Vintage Woven Sisal Purse: $13.00USD / Foldable Bag Hook: $15.00USD

Mom's aren't picky, all they want is something "from the heart" but we all know Christmas is (other than her birthday) the only time to spoil our mums. Handpicked with love, moms would appreciate a new shopper (my mom payed double the amount for her own!) or this neat little gadget the foldable bag hook, a definite conversation starter.

lately, I have been craving gold, black and beige more often. I'd really like to find a good leather pouch bag (vintage coach maybe?) but it's not as easy as it seems. big sweaters, denim and leather are still ruling my world but I'm trying to introduce lush fabrics and over-size bright sweaters into my wardrobe. sick right now so when it's over, I plan on going to the gym regularly once again.

Gla$$es

My new glasses. cost me 67 cents at value village. such a great deal. Also bought khaki big pocket blouse. Pictures to follow

I like not having a plan.

some of the changes in my life right now. I'm painting my room beige and covering it with photographs and post cards. My wardrobe is turning more gray and I want a more laid-back style. I need more time to clear my head, eat and exercise, read and focus on school work and fashion design.

I AM HAVING A STYLE CRISIS.

My whole style is changing, I want to change my style of blogging, my blog along with my already changing bedroom, closet and school life. I will keep you updated but so sorry for my bi-polar activities lately, I meant to do no wrong.

Basically...

These were my last few days. Hanging out with the fam. New purchases: floral blouse 3000HUF, leather/cotton leggings 2490HUF and a flamingo crop top for 1390HUF from H&M and Pull and Bear. First pic I'm wearing khaki tank from H&M + black dress pants @my uncle's villa. Second picture MEGA FAILURE at photography, creds to my sister. Third picture I'm wearing skirt from H&M and scarf from New Yorker (sharp studded braclet from Bijou Brigette $3.00).

This week is going to be full of ten billion blog posts, so keep updated. Today I basically watched Modern Family and then went out to grab ice cream.

top: garage, $7 / shorts: f21, $14 / necklace: bijou birgette, 900HUF $4.50CAD/ shoes: Humanic, 5000HUF

Here are a few snapshots, tasted beer flavoured ice cream, strange but yummy!

Favourite Peices D&G made boring colours and materials new and put an amazing twist on the classic staples. This red velvet peice, reminds me of a 1950s winter family get together, nice, subtle, with a hint of Gossip Girl scandal. BUT THEN, this gorgeous peices. Oh, D&G, what math genius can calculate how many years(decades) I must work at one of your stores to acheive that pinned blazer. I know the web will explode with 2million DIYs and whatnot as soon as fall is here, but the elegance of this blazer is uncopiable(a word). The last which I picked in my top three favourites is the black knitted peice with that cream corset under it. I found this a great transition peice in the show between lingere and knits because it incorporates both styles (which I'd rather drool over this fall then rock myself). Somehow the hot lights of the runway change the person and outfit and I can't put that cardi into the real world but that's what teevee shows about rich, beautiful people are for.

Detailing Details have become gold, small, finely detailed against strong plain backgrounds. At D&G the colours paired with extreme detailing (pins, chains) were black, green(velvet) and red(velvet). I like how everything is so hobo chic MK&A with an air of elegance that seems to captivate everything around it. Is it just me or do you imagine these people walk everywhere in slow motion? One notable thing was the return of the small bag which (even though I collect small bags) I completly disagree with because totes and strap totes are making (thanks to the goddamn internet) a most definite return.

Mistakes? As I said, favourite show of the fall, and usually if you LOVE a show you love the ENTIRE show. Okay, maybe this is only the case with me but maybe it's because I HATE trashing designers because they work so hard. Regardless in this show I spotted things that I felt clashed with the entire presentation. I mostly saw these less-then-desirable compilations in the sheer fabrics (huge fan) because the layering became extreme (also a fan of layering, don't judge). The first peice below was a mix of like every left over peice of material (chain, knit, sheer polka dots, animal print, THING ON HEAD (turban maybe?)) and I felt it just clashed TOO much, now every D and G fan out there is going to go balistic on me and tell me its nice like that but then again, would you wear it? The last peice wasn't a big deal, but I am not feeling the lace print+animal print+fur+pink shoes (maybe?).
