Fruit vendors and tan heels.

I'm back, sorry I took alot longer than usual! Long enough for me to find my new favorite accesory, though! Felix had almost no effect on our city, by the way; So thankyou for your prayers!!! =)

My sister finally got to wear the dress I was making for her! I'm quite disappointed about how it looks on camera, but she looked so cute! She wore it the perfect day, too: September 15th (Independence Day), so the theme colors were WHITE+BLUE. Trust me though, that cheap discount fabric was a horror, and I am NEVER using it again.

And now that I'm finally done with that dress, I'm going to start working with patterns that a friend, Caroline Greeven, was kind enough to mail me all the way from L.A.! I've NEVER worked with commercial patterns before because I haven't found a place that sells them here. Hehee...I get really excited whenever I look at them...!!!! and the mags ♥

I'm making a few of the cute makeup bags to give to friends and co-workers, the easiest, so I can practice. So far they're looking pretty good!
And then of course I can't wait to get to the Built by Wendy ones!

This happens to me more often than you would think, but please don't tell anyone...

You know those days where you are too lazy to even think about what to wear? I have those, and I end up grabbing the same jeans I was wearing the day before and grab the top nearest to my hand.

So, yes, I admit, I do need a little inspiration once in a while. Plus, the way the heat makes me all sticky doesn't help much either. My inspiration usually comes from the most random unexpected places, or people.

I know some might not seem like they connect, but in my brain somehow they do.

whoaa...just noticed there's alot of yellow.

About the fruit stand, I take breaks from work and head to the fruit vendor's "carreta" in the corner for a perfect breakfast.

Black? Yep, with tan heels and a super breezy bright top. A chunky fun necklace. Mmhmm.

The glasses were plastic clear so I painted the rims because otherwise they weren't flattering.

FLATTERING?!

Hahahaha...the reaction these glasses are getting are, well, brutal. High school kids literally point and laugh, a man asked "Why do you hide such a face under those glasses?" (nice try), and more than a few people have said I look like a "viejita". Some pretend not to know me when I'm wearing them.

But, you know me, once I choose to stick with something, it really sticks. I think Rachel Comey and Luella would agree. :P

SEWING SCHOOL?

Mehh...

We moved on to shorts, and that's good, but I'm kinda bummed out because I found out one of the girls has been stealing. Makes me upset because as much as I like these girls, I can't really trust all of them...but besides that everything is going marvelously. After all the paper shorts we'll get to make a real fabric one. Can't wait!

I really have to go home now, and I'm sorry for lack of posting, I've had soo much stuff to do but I promise I'll make it up to y'all.

In the mean time, I highly suggest you check out this awesome post from Bojana ( Power Rangers Go) who always comes up with reeeally creative concepts. Front row bloggers at fashion week, wohooo!!!
