Really long time no see!! I missed you all and I'm back for good ☆彡: 6 Months worth of updates!! Part 1

Hello sweeties! I can't even believe I've fallen out of blogging for SO long! I suppose life got in the way, with conventions and friends and family and holidays and most of all school! Senior year is no joke, guys! All the college planning and just figuring things out seriously takes its toll on you. I've also run into a few health issues lately and haven't been around the internet half as much as I used to be. I let blogging slip down on my priority list, but I miss it so much and I miss all of you so I'm going to officially fix that right now! I have a lot of great things to show you all from as far back as my Birthday on September 8th, so lets get this photo party started ヽ(゜∇゜)ノ!

So waaaaay back in September I turned 17! I had an ultra fun birthday party that included eating at a yummy Indian buffet with my family, spending time reading in a book store, and then heaving a rockin' night of karaoke with friends! Since it was such a while ago and I was focusing more on having fun I don't have too many pics, but I'll share the two things that I do have!

My birthday outfit and everything! I posted the outfit shot earlier and I did (gasp!!) repeat the outfit for Friday of AWA so you'll see it in full further down ~!

A few days later I got this super cute package from my bff Jesse! He surprised me so much I had no idea he had sent me anything! what a sweetheart ;w;!

I think the next big event was Anime Weekend Atlanta at the end of September. I really think that was the most fun I've had at a con to date! I spent so much time with so many of my friends and the feeling was really magical! I felt infected with the sweet bonds of friendship and happiness and I still think back on it with so much fondness! So here are my outfits and some antics from then~

Friday:

The outfit I wore! Also what I wore on my birthday ahaha! I usually try not to repeat outfits like this but I forgot to take pictures on my birthday and I really wanted some! hahaha

Later on my friend Raven bought these shoes, and I tried em on! how cute ;w;

Saturday:

My outfit on Saturday! by far the most eventful day! I had so much fun hanging out really early in the morning  by myself and then running around to hang out with babesquad ( A nickname for a group of my friends ;w;) and a few other close buddies! 

Babesquad all walkin' over to the mall ~

Me and Jesse! <3!

Me and Kane! <3

Me and Raven! <3!

And then my absolute favorite picture from the whole weekend! props to Kane for taking it ;v;! there are a lot more of these neat-o air vent pictures over here ~

Sunday:

Sunday was slow and uneventful for the most part, but I still had a wonderful time just hanging out! I started out the day looking like this

But then decided I wanted to be super comfy and changed into this ;v;!

As a bonus, here's a picture of my suitcase from AWA ☆

I made a couple of posts in October and posted my outfits up until November so I'm just going to pick up with another really amazingly magical event that happened in November! I went... to Disneyworld!! Wow! We went for my little brothers birthday during Thanksgiving break since my family travels to Florida for Thanksgiving each year ;u;. I had so much fun! I ended up being able to meet with Jesse while I was there! How cool is that? Unfortunately my phones battery was no good the entire time So I only have a few photos to share~

We went to a cute gift shop before entering the parks, so I took this picture there~ 

We ended up getting tickets that only allowed one of us to enter Magic Kingdom too, but I got to use that ticket! I spent most of the disney day in Epcot and MGM Studios (I missed Animal Kingdom ;A;) but later on I headed over to Magic Kingdom to meet up with Jesse and his cousin Zach ;u;.

I got there just in time to catch the end of a performance by the Castle! Look! Mickey and Mini mouse! I was so happy to see them, but my entire focus was on the princesses *v*

Later at night I met with Jesse and Zach and we had tons of fun going on as many rides as we could until the park closed ~ v ~ 

hehe Jess's shirt got wet from one of the rides we went on ;v;

I think later on in November or early December I received a package from Candy at Starlight Deco Dream! 

What a total sweetheart to send so much amazing stuff to me *A*!!! Thank you again sweetie pie ;u;~ !

Next up, a new J-street Fashion community based in Georgia has surfaced!! It's called  Pop!Georgia and it is basically just to have a place to meet up decked out in J-street fashion of all kinds and do fun things together! Jesse, Sasha and I all moderate the community! The first meetup was in mid December and it was SO perfect!

I dressed up a little cult-party kei style for this!

We met up at a bakery first! I got this delicious strawberry filled bread there ;u; After the bakery, we all went to the mall! on the way there a few of us made a pitstop and took outfit photos before the sun went down~

Me and Kane~

Ayu and me~

We all took pictures together in the Forever21 mirrors ;w;

Jesse, me and Ayu

Me and Caylee ~

Jesse, Sahsa and me~

Jesse took this really neat candid shot while we were walking around ;v; how sweet 

We went to grab dinner at a nice little sushi place nearby! My oh so delicious eel roll OvO

and here's the whole group!! Sasha, Ayu. Jesse, Caylee and me! We all had such a great time!

It turns out that blogspot couldn't handle the amount of content I originally had in this post!! haha There's a LOT more coming up, so I'll compile that post very shortly! Thanks for stoppin' by cuties! 

Craft Post! Sewing just a little bit☆

Hey everyone (~￣▽￣)~! Heh, sorry I'm a day off schedule! Yesterday ended up being a whole lot of nonstop grocery shopping, and then a dance class that went on until pretty late. Today was a totally free day though! I was planning on finally doing another song cover, since its fun, but I got the urge to craft so I did that instead ;v;~

So yesterday, I picked up a really nicely colored pink T-shirt in medium size from Walmart with the intent to someday do something with it...maybe. Luckily~ I was itching to craft today and I decided to alter it a little bit ;v;.

So this is what it looked like before~ just a little bit too big, but a really sweet color.

I had no idea what I wanted to do with it, which is why I got a bigger size, but as soon as I started I wished I had just gotten a small u A u! I had to re do the sides so that this would fit me better before adding things on it, which I totally could have skipped if I had gotten my size! ahahaha~

It didn't take too long to fix up though! I went with a really~ simple and I guess classic fairy kei design ;v;. Just a heart with some lace around it and on the hem, but it's really nice to finally have a simple T-shirt like this! I made a similar Barbie cut out T-shirt a while ago, but It's only to my natural waist, so its hard to wear normally. 

Worn~ sorry my face is all gross in this picture ahahaha! 

So it was a really simple process to make this! You basically just take a T-shirt and sew on whatever you want. I'll admit, I cheated with hot glue on this baby, since its suuuch a pain to sew the heart and the lace (I hot glued it all together then stitched on top to re-inforce it)! 

After I made this, my step dad told me we're planning on seeing Batman tonight, So I put a coord together ~

Heh my face is blurred out 'cuse i look grooosss ahaha~

But thats my outfit for tonight~ 

Everything's either thrifted, handmade, or altered~

Annd a heart up shot (~￣▽￣)~

Love you guys! Thanks for stopping by~

Sewing Away~ Creamy Halloween!

Hi everyone! As you all know Halloween is coming up very very soon~! I decided sometime near the beginning of  the month that I wanted to be either Sailor Moon or Creamy Mami this year, because I wasn't able to do Sailor Moon last year and I'm crazy about the cute and magical design of Creamy Mami's dress~!

In case you don't know about *Creamy Mami, this is the dress I'm talking about!

The month ended up passing by much too quickly though, and I wasn't able to go fabric shopping once for halloween! I didn't want to be without a halloween costume again this year ( though I'm not planning on trick-or-treating, it's always fun to have a costume!) . I figured I could find ways to coordinate Mami's dress so it's not so costumey, which would be pretty impossible with a Sailor Moon costume, so I decided to sacrifice my barbie fabric to make something very~ similar!

It took me most of Monday afternoon to make, and I'm really happy with it! I haven't been sewing much at all lately because of not having fabric ;A;. Basically you just make a basic tank top and add a gathered skirt and sleeves to it, so It was pretty simple! I did lose my measuring tape, so I made this without taking any measurements hahaha. It was hard to get things right, and my boobs are a bit squished in it but I'm happy with it anyways ;u;.

Here it is worn!

Since I couldn't go shopping, fabrics and colors are obviously way off, and it gives a different effect. It fits in with my wardrobe a little better like this though, so I don't really mind ;u;. Hopefully I can still make a more accurate one sometime in the future~. 

It's pretty impracticle for the upcoming winter, so it will sadly have to wait until spring and summer to be worn regularly ;~;. Being so close to Halloween though, of course I'm going to wear it! I'll probably be thought of as "Barbie" instead though, which I'm also totally okay with xD.

So what are your halloween plans~? Are you going to be dressing up as well?

Thanks for looking~!

*Creamy Mami is a Magical girl anime animated in 1983 from Studio Pierrot. She is a magical idol singer, who changes from 11 year old Yuu into famous the idol Creamy Mami due to magic the alien pinopino granted her for a year. Basically she sings, resolved supernatural flings, and helps out her friends with her magic! It's a very cute magical girl series, you should all check out if you haven't already ~!

Lots of sewing lately! Cutsew Remake!

Hello everyone! In my last post I showed you a few things that I got from a thrifting adventure, and one of them was a too big pink t-shirt that I bought for the purpose of remaking it into something I could wear! I've been without a nice cute pastel pink T-shirt for a while so when I found it the other day I was so happy! Here's how it turned out~

All I did was trace a T-shirt that fits me well, cut the pink T-shirt up, add the patches and lace (SO much lace @~@) and then sew the sides back up! Really easy and quick, super cute AND cheap! I finally decided to cut those barbie sheets/curtains and use them for clothes decorating too, so I plan on using them more in the future.

Here's a worn picture from yesterday~!

What do you guys think? I'm not quite done with editing the things I got while shopping, so expect a tutorial soon on turning a care bear into a back pack~!

Thanks for looking!

More sewing! Another Spank! inspired shirt ~

Hello everyone~! Happy Father's Day!

The day yesterday before I managed to get my hands on more sewing machine needles (did I mention that I broke all of mine xD?) so last night I decided to actually get sewing again! Earlier in my summer goals post, I mentioned how much I wanted to make a shirt similar to this spank! one~

So last night I did just that!

I think it took me around five hours to make, and I ended up frustrating myself a lot (I keep sewing at night for some reason even though I know I won't make as many dumb mistakes if I sew while I'm still 100% awake xD) but I really like the way it came out! I took that picture before I ironed it though (for some reason ;~;) so it's looks a bit better now.

And here it is worn!

This is only the third top that I've made for myself, the other two being cutsews so so they stretch and are easier to fit xD. I used to be downright scared of wasting fabric on making shirts, so the fact that lately I've been able to make them (though not as well or easily as I would have liked to) really makes me feel like I'm improving!

So what do you guys think? Do you like it?

Thanks for looking ☆ミ!
