A Professional.

I just started working on a business wear project. I have to make three pieces and I chose a dress, blazer, and skirt.

Thankfully we have a bit more time for this project!

One More Time.

I love Glee and I can't wait for the Britney themed episode.

Fashion and Life.

This is going to be one of many busy weeks but there are two things helping me get through it. A new episode of Gossip Girl, and the fact that I now have a car in my possession. I got my license a little over a week ago, and my mom has been looking for a new car so that her old one could be passed along to me. And it has finally happened! I see a trip to Jo-Anns and a cherry ICEE in my future.

Dash My Way.

This week the project I have due for class is to make four accessories. I didn't want to go out and spend a ton on this one, so I dug through my fabric left over from past projects and found plenty of good options. I'm definitely going to use one of the florals for a cute bow headband.


I also found this pattern stowed away with ones I haven't used yet and/or managed to salvage the pieces to. I could probably manage making a clutch without the pattern, but this one shows you how to make a tassle! I love tassles. I think they're so cute and fun.


For my third accessory I thought I'd try to replicate the handbag charm I saw on PS I Made This. I don't think mine turned out nearly as awesome, but it was worth a shot.

And I'm still deciding on a forth accessory. I've got a headband, keychain/handbag charm, and a clutch so far. I'm thinking maybe a coin purse will be the fourth. Thoughts?

Method To The Madness.

There aren't a ton of things in life that I have a real interest in. I never loved any sports (although I've tried ballet, soccer, cheer, and gymnastics) and I never had much of a hobby. But if there is one way for me to determine if I have a real interest in something, it's how long I'm willing to talk someone's ear off about it for. There are three things I think I could talk about endlessly. Fashion, makeup, and television. As much as I'm always embarrassed to admit it I have an unhealthy love of television and a deep appreciation for a good teen drama. But anyway, this is about the other interest. Makeup.

I've known for a long time that fashion is right for me, but that doesn't mean I don't love makeup. I love buying it, putting it on, everything. And so I thought it was only right to share a few of my current favorites. At first it was only going to be about lipsticks I'm loving, but then I wanted to throw in something extra.

So, here goes.

I think Rimmel (they're the two purple ones in the photo) makes some of the best drugstore lipsticks out there. There isn't a huge color selection but the consistency is great and I've been reaching for these a lot lately. The ones I've been wearing a lot are the Moisture Renew lipsticks in Summer Angel and in Fancy.

I also love my MAC lipsticks. My current favorites are Lovelorn, High Strung, and Cute-ster. Cute-ster is from the Hello Kitty collection from a few years ago but I was able to pick it up over the summer at a Cosmetics Company Outlet. Lovelorn and High Strung are both part of the permanent collection though. I just bought High Strung recently and think it'll be one of my favorite fall lipsticks.

I only have one Flirt lipstick (in the plain black packaging), but I love it. Flirt is a brand that everyone might not know about, so I'm extra excited to share about this one. Flirt is a makeup brand sold at Kohl's stores and their Chickstick lipsticks are great. They're pretty sheer, but mine is in the color Ice Breaker and is a nice pink to just make your lips a tiny bit prettier.

The last lipstick I adore right now is my lipstick from Urban Decay. The one I have is in Peroxide and it's the perfect shade. It's pretty similar to my lip color, just more awesome. I've been loving all of my Urban Decay products lately and this one is no exception! Plus, it has an awesomely unique lipstick packaging.

That's it for lipsticks but I just had to include my favorite glosses of the moment. I've been adoring the Revlon Super Lustrous glosses. I have them in Peach Petal, Pink Whisper, and Pink Pursuit and I love them all. I've probably been wearing Pink Whisper the most, but Pink Pursuit is a nice, slightly darker pink for fall. These are definitely my favorite drugstore buy of the moment. I've been reaching for them a lot more than any of my other glosses.


I've shown snippets of my quilt in the background of different pictures before, so I thought I'd go ahead and provide a more complete photo. This is the quilt I made as one of my last projects at the end of the last school year. I didn't go into making it thinking I'd want to use it in my room, but I've actually ended up loving having it.



That's it! Let me know what your favorite lipsticks and glosses are.

A Little Love.

I don't know if I could love the Atelier Versace lookbook anymore. The rest of the looks are here, make sure you check out both pages!

As Quick As It Begun.

I want to sleep, but luckily just before I went to shut off the lights I remembered my blogging promise!

Promising good posts over the weekend, I have a few possibilities up my sleeve.

PS: I was re-watching old episodes of The Rachel Zoe Project today, and nothing could make me love Rachel Zoe more than the fact that her husband bought her the same Porsche as Dylan McKay because of her love of Beverly Hills, 90210.
