Touch of Inspiration

(StockholmStreetStyle)

Falling sick and feeling a bit uninspired lately (possibly due to the never-ending seesaw weather we have here in America?), I "went" to see what the stylish ladies in Stockholm are up to. I must say, they lifted up my mood a bit, and now I actually feel that my body is worth being donned with something close to jazzy.

YAY for the weekend being just around the corner! :)

Also, I have been obsessing over these Willow babies for about a year now. Too bad that's all I can do and continue doing, unless I stumble across a much less expensive Willow look-a-like... or win a jackpot!

Into the Light

(Bf's wife beater, Freedom vest, Forever21 lace leggings, vintage Salvatore Ferragamo bag, Nine West, thrifted accessories)

I've had this Salvatore Ferragamo bag ever since I was a mere 8 year old -- a gift from my aunt. It survived through my elementary grades in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, high school years in Montreal, Canada, college days in Virginia, USA, up until now. This bag is no longer looking as polished as it used to be, but that doesn't lessen any love I have for it, not even a bit.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Bleached and Ripped

(Freedom faux leather vest, Forever21 tank top, DIY Levi's denim skirt,  vintage Versace chain necklace, Guess purse chain worn as bracelet)  

How to bleach and rip a denim skirt:

1. Prepare your denim skirt, bleach, a container with small opening (in this case I used a spray bottle), a penknife/cutter, a huge disposable cardboard and an open space to execute your project.
   
2. Pour the bleach safely into the container. Add water if you want a lighter bleach effect (I didn't).
   
3. Pour/spray the bleach onto the denim skirt. Go ahead, treat the skirt as a blank canvas -- the design choice is yours to be creative with!
   
4. Use the knife to initiate the cutting. Rip the rest of the cut to have less clean, more grungy effect. You can fray the hem as well, like I did.
   
5. Hang the skirt to dry.
   
6. Or if you're an impatient duck like me, just toss the drenched skirt into the dryer until fully dry :)
