Bliss Caught

The time has come for light jackets!

I'm so amped! I've got a couple jackets and leathers

I've been wanting wip out and rock.... The only thing is,

the weather doesn't stay cool enough. I just end up looking hot

and not in a good way.... Well, pretty soon it will be cold all the time- yea! (I think)

Snatch List

so black is back(or maybe it never left).

There are a couple peices I've had my eye on.

Black high heels have always made giddy!

Esp. the ones Drew has on.

Black leather is my friend;faux or real..

(i'm pretty sure someones gonna have something to say about that)

Melody's leather jacket is crazy and with those gloves?!

But black is bliss and there's plenty of it to make a statement.

I posted a couple pieces that I'd snatch up in a heart beat.

Patterns are like my barbie dolls^o^

I love these patterns! I hope to work on some of them on LABOR DAY. I love sewing days. I get so happy about my scheduled sewing days I end up dreaming up new designs all night!

Emerald says, " Tuesday! You and I are not friends any longer unil next week!"

hey guys, how was your Tuesday? ..... Let me tell ya, my Tuesday was not dandy people. Nope, not dandy at all... Anyway. Moving on to things that make me happy! Yea, the Fall is upon us! Get ready for stockings, fishnets *sings* " Black pantyhose"!! (I Love Morris Day) But yea I'm so ready for colored tights in hues of gold, orange, red, purple, cobalt blue.... I went to the Beauty Supply on (38th street) and to my surprise they were carrying all the colors I'm thinking of buying soon! So, now all I need are caramel apples, colored pencils, a new sketch book, (that vest Rihanna was wearing; while walking out of a business meeting) and some chocolate covered pretzels! Oh~! btw I found the perfect pattern to make that cropped vest Rihanna is wearing. Lord knows I can't afford hers... I'm not even sure who her vest is by... When I find out, I'll post it, k? If your interested in purchasing a cropped vest, I am taking orders! so, email me if you are interested ;)

One Day in Fountian Square

2009-07-22T10:15:00.000-07:00

So I went to Fountian Square and boy did I strike gold! I love all things classy and vintage. So this particular day I found 2 dresses, a clutch, (love clutches) and a suit cases. I found other things that I would have love to tote home with me... but I only had $50! I also love the nastolgia of Fountain Square (the old advertisement from coca-cola.) Oh I just can't explian it. here's some pictures. ;)

Things found after the fire

2009-03-25T20:10:00.001-07:00

Back in November I burnt down my kitchen (long story). Thank God for good insurance! Anyway the Dial One crew found some surprises in my attic. Among the findings were valintines cards, christmas cards, a Betty Crocker's guide to Homemaking, Baby dolls and a bottle. I also found a flyer for a Bobby Rydale concert; there were some other things aas well. I was really hoping that there would be some old vintage clothes up there in that attic. I love vintage clothes and jewlery, there's nothing like tailored anddetailed clothing!!

Vintage Barbie

2009-03-25T19:59:00.000-07:00

So vintage Barbies are the coolest thing. If I ever come accross some I going t0 purchase them! It's so funny how closed minded everything was in the 50s and 60s. But I still love the innocence of the values people had. Barbie was someone to aspire to be. You wouldn't catch her drunk @ a party or swinging from a chandilier!

I love old hollywood hairstyles. Here are a few of my favorites

2009-03-13T16:23:00.000-07:00

The Katy Perry look gone array- The pieces that have been picked out here are good ones, but the execution is blah. (literally)-

2009-03-13T16:11:00.001-07:00

On a brighter note there were somethings I did liked about the 80's and Katy Perry is the very example of those things I liked! http://www.juliemollo.com/ < katy get's some of her "get-up" here! The look is always put together with every era that she chooses to wear. Oh bliss!!

2009-03-13T15:26:00.000-07:00

So there are somethings that are making it back around. Tappered pants, blue jean jackets, and ripped stockings, oh and lets not forget hot pink stretch pants (nightmare). I am not a fan of 80's clothes, there is no direction with the peices we're left to chose from (shoulder pads). Horrible. Now, I must say Kierra Knightly's look is well put together. The look could be considered blissfull, I'm just not sure about the other two selections (unless it is halloween of course)! Kanye and his new chick (for the next five minutes) get the official BLAH stamp. (especially considering they were on their way to the Givenchy show looking like step children from 21 Jump Street). BOO!! As for the stockings, in this case I am cosidering them art if anything else. The more I look at them I would say the trend is pretty blah to. I hope the trend of wearing stockings on one leg and the other leg bare doesn't come back. (dreadful people, dreadful)

Finding your way

2009-03-11T11:58:00.000-07:00

Style can sometimes be intimidating, but you must not get discouraged. Some people wear what they want because of there status. Andre Leon Tally,Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis , Anna Wintour all have great style. But sometimes there "i'm just throwing this on so i can't go" gets mistaken for style. So be brave, try new things, being stylish is not always comfortable. Finding your way to Bliss will be an accmplishment. Wasting your life in Blah will only allow you to contiue to be Blah- No one ever remebers when Oprah, Martha or Whoopi wear comfortable clothes but when thy do vamp it up everyone remebers how stylish they were.

vintage patterns-

courtesey of momspatterns.com (Advance Vintage 50's Rockabilly VLV Pinup Halter Top Blouse, Cuffed Shorts/Hollywood patterns)

So all day I've been in search of the romper patter from the 50's-60's. I can't seem to find it anywhere. I really need this pattern for my class for us to do together (and, of course I love to tackle it in my spare time), but, I can't seem to find it anywhere... It's like this romper pattern never existed. I like new and old clothing especially making the clothing myself. I found a couple that I might substitute but I just don't think I'll be quite as happy. ;( While I didn't find what I was looking for I did find some patterns that I will be purchasing in the future. So all was not lost in adventure for the romper pattern!
