In the end, you'll realise.

Today was a chicken soup day. I couldn't seem to warm up, my fingers are purple as i am typing this. I had today off, so i did a few D.I.Y projects i have been wanting to do since the weekend. I thrifted this denim jacket and thought, "Hey, while i have studs left over why not put some studs on some more things i own." I thought my obsession with studs would have gone away by now. Obviously not. I am stressing out that it is here to stay. One day, i fear i am going to wake up and i will be made out of studs. *scary*

The first attempt at this i must've had my head to the side thinking it was straight, because the cross was so lop sided, it was a joke. So, with a trusty nail file and now some very sore fingers i undid all the studs and remodeled it. This time it turned out perfectly straight, which i am very happy about.

The question still remains though. Do i leave it as a denim jacket or do i cut it into a vest? It's a tough decision.

A neverending dream.

MONDAY

Run off my feet, is the only way to describe today. An early morning casting, house hunting, projects, and work. So unfortunately no outfit post. There is not enough hours in today! Leaving you with some inspirational shots. Enjoy. x

They say an end can be a start.

Sunday afternoon sunshine. Simply the best.

Here i am channeling the 80's with my vintage gold shoulder pad top i picked up yesterday and my $12.00 boots i customized with studs. All in all, yesterday was a successful shopping day.  I love my top! I stumbled across it in the last few minutes of op shopping, and i am so glad i did! As for my boots, i have had this style in mind for about a month (and haven't been able to find them anywhere), but yesterday my boyfriend pointed out these adorable ones in the guy section while we were op shopping! Never worn and at $12.00 how could i not buy them?

We jumped in the car when i finished work today to catch the last few minutes of the glorious afternoon sun. Thanks to Jonathan we got some really cool shots!

I'll slip through your hands, I am one single grain of sand.

Just a quick post. I haven't had time to put together a big post. Tomorrow will be a outfit post.

My friend Sam lead me to this illustrator COCO! Coco starts her work by experimenting with processes such as painting, drawing and ceramics, before designing the final image digitally. Like the illustration above. She quotes "I like to mix several techniques but aim for restraint and minimalism in the finished work as I like the results achieved from combining these two approaches". I really like her work. She has a very impressive portfolio and she has worked as a communication consultant for many leading fashion designers. Coco has a very unique insight into fashion, and she demonstrates this throughout her work. Here's a screen shot i took of her site, showcasing a few bits and pieces she has worked on.
