DIY Sweatshirt

A few of my thoughts after finding this post in my drafts after a long damn time:
"Oh god, what"
"How have I not posted this yet?"
"Maybe, I can pretend that I never forgot- do people do that"
"Will this be relevant if I post it as a back to school DIY?"

Anyways, here's the actual DIY that I probably said was going to be posted like a year ago (whoops):

If you've ever been to the dude's section at Target (and really anywhere), you would have noticed how ridiculously soft their sweatshirts are. So, I set out to customize some sweatshirts and here's how I did it:


Supplies:
a sweater or sweatshirt
some fabric (you really don't need much. I got half a yard of lace for the ribs and only used a third of it)
paper
permanent marker or pencils
thread
needles
scissors
optional: good music to listen to

- Find a design that you want and either print it out or sketch it if you want a really large design (I taped four pieces of paper together than drew my ribs pattern onto it).


-Cut out the pattern and pin it to the fabric of your choice. You will most likely have to hand sew your design if you have a complex design unless you have one of those fancy sewing machines that I'm not quite sure how to use...
-Sew the design on and wear with pride!

Or if you want to take the easier route, buy some of transfer paper so you only need to iron it on (be sure to read the package's instructions).

Nostalgia

Hey lovelies!  I must also apologize for being MIA recently.  School has been a real drag lately, with the end of year tests (since there are, what, five weeks left of school for me) and my unwillingness to actually do work.  And considering the extent to which I procrastinate, the next few weeks will also be a struggle, because I'd rather not do anything anymore.  I really just want summer to be here, so I can stare at social media sites without the guilt
The playlist:
"Together/Never" - Oberhofer
"Thirst" - City and Colour
"Can't Keep Your Mind Off" - Data Romance
"I Love It - feat. Charli XCX" - Icona Pop
"Heartbeat" - Childish Gambino
"Miss Missing You" - Fall Out Boy
"Crocodile Rock" - Elton John

Tourist History

Happy Monday, not really!  I've been a little off the entire day thanks to the hour change, which I often question how applicable it is to our modern America when artificial light is quite accessible   Anyways, for the past week or so, I have also been obsessed with the Japanese avatar game Line Play.  I don't understand why I'm so entertained by it, but it is so much fun.  And as a bonus, I've managed to win eight little cat dolls.
So, here's the playlist:
"Stay Useless" - Cloud Nothings
"Believer" - American Authors
"Eat That Up, It's Good For You" - Two Door Cinema Club
"Can You Tell" - Ra Ra Riot
"Dark Paradise" - Lana Del Rey
"Yet Again" - Grizzly Bear

Time to Pretend



green jacket - thrifted
striped cardigan - thrifted
grey dress (its studded!) - ross
tights - mom?
socks - burlington coat factory
vans - vans store
rings - forever 21

Here's an outfit that I wore a few days ago.  I kept forgetting to make a post about it, so here it is (finally).  I recently bought six pairs of knee high socks, which are more "kind of to the knee but not really" socks.  I've been wanting really long socks for ages, so I was quite happy to get some.

Transcendental Youth

Happy Presidents day and music Monday!  Recently, I finished The Virgin Suicides, which is a feat because it's been sitting on my side table for a couple of months.  I thought it was pretty good read, actually. I'll have to check out the movie now.  In other news, my friend had a really, really fun Valentine's party last Friday that included a scavenger hunt at our local outlet mall and a movie.  The scavenger hunt was hilarious and amazing! I ended up doing the macarena in a Timberland store and I got to hug a rather dapper looking Old Navy employee.  A very memorable night, in my opinion.

So, here's the playlist:
"Are You Satisfied?" - Marina & the Diamonds
"Carried Away" - Passion Pit
"Cry for Judas" - The Mountain Goats
"Naive" - The Kooks
"Rosalinda's Eyes" - Billy Joel
"Playground Love (With Gordon Tracks)" - Air

"Hollywood" by Marina and the Diamonds
"Cameo Lover" by Kimbra
"Off To The Races" by Lana Del Rey
"Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?" by Fall Out Boy

not sure what happened with this, but it looks rad

button down - ross
tank top - ross
skirt - thrifted
belt - my mom's
doc marten's - journeys
rings - charlotte russe; forever 21

I've currently been in love with velvet clothing.  I love how it feels and how it adds a different texture to an outfit.  I'll have to figure out how to incorporate it in the spring.  Or just not care and continue to wear velvet.

By the way, we shall be posting our Wants this Wednesday (tomorrow?), so stay tuned for that.

Sum It Up Sunday: January 27, 2013

I'm not sure how to start these posts, so welcome to  last Sunday of January 2013! It's so crazy to think about.  It seems like the beginning of the year was just a few days ago.  This week, my area has been graced with a little bit of snow.  It was enough to get a delay and an early closing, which allowed me to watch even more movies (I've watched at least 13 since the beginning of the year....) and listen to music.  I took a break from being unproductive and went to the Salvation Army yesterday.  I bought a black, velvet maxi skirt for $4 and a purple, pleated maxi skirt that was also $4.  Sadly, the purple skirt is not the size six it suggested, so I may turn it into a shorter skirt. I also went to Ross where I got $5 heels (!!) and a grey tank top with silver skulls for $8.

Haul

I can't believe half of the school year has already passed!  It's gone by too quickly in my opinion (mostly because exams are this week, oh my!)  My order from Forever 21 came in this week which helped to ease my anxiety.  I bought a pair of velvet leggings (I cannot properly express how much I love them) for $12.80, a pair of floral leggings for $8.80, an over-sized white tee for $, a black sweater for $, and a silver collar necklace for $.




My nerdy shirt from Qwertee also came in.  It was about $17 with their discount code.  I also went shopping on Saturday (instead of studying for exams..).  I bought a grey cardigan at Marshall's for $13 and an adjustable, velvet dress for $12 at Ross.




Have a great week!

Just Another Music Monday

Mondays are the most appropriate days to talk about music on this blog.  It starts off each week on brighter note.  Since it's already our second quarter of school (oh, how time flies by when you're doing schoolwork, not really), playlists are a bit more exciting to discuss than math.  So, on Music Mondays, we will each have a playlist of six songs that we are currently jammin' out to. To listen, click on either Aud's or Syd's.

A Spotify account is recommended for maximum playlist enjoyment. 

Aud's:
"Give Me Love" by Ed Sheeran
"Oh No!" by Marina and the Diamonds
"Demons" by Imagine Dragons
"Heartlines" by Florence + the Machine
"Black Sheep" by Metric
"If These Sheets Were States" by All Time Low

Syd's:
"Do the Right Thing" by OSCAR & MARTIN
"Beautiful Morning" by Little Brother
"Home Alone" by Young Man
"Ugly Dress" by Jesse Woods
"What to Say"by Born Ruffians
"Late" by Kanye West

Have a nice Monday :)
