October Thirty First

Wooh! Halloween costume finished. And worn. 

I ran out of time to make something really nice, so I just improvised. I traced the outline from an old dress that I like the shape of, but made it way bigger. It turned out REALLY big. Oh well, I will recut it later. 

I made the bow in less than 5 minutes! Two rectangles, interfaced and sewn. THANKS MAZ!

Boo!

October Thirty

This month's hair inspiration! 

It seems every time I grow my hair out, it's never quite long enough for what want. 

I'm totally diggin' Emma Watson's short fringe in My Week with Marilyn.

October Twenty Seven

One American Apparel-esque gingham skirt. Check! It's significantly longer than theirs, falling to the perfect below the knee/slimmest part of the leg. It's quite a thick cotton, so it hold he shape well. And it has pockets! There's a little bit of leftover fabric, so I'm going to make up some cushions for the couch. 

AND popping into the local Sallies last weekend I found these 1930s cookbooks. They had another 2 but I picked these two because they were in the best condition (maybe I should have gone with the busted up ones now that I think about it). One had these extra recipes and notes in it. Whoo!

Invited to a Halloween Party

No Costume

SO MANY POSSIBILITES

I was thinking of going as Minnie Mouse!

Best excuse to dress up all cute

I'd totally wear a red and white Minnie inspired polka dot dress regularly right?

And Nick will be dressed as Mickey if I get my way.

October Sixteen

Today I am SO tired. Entirely my own fault for staying up late watching Nicki Minaj and X Factor videos on youtube. However I managed to drag myself out for lunch with my parents. Afterwards, we stopped in at the Hospice shop in Takapuna where I snapped up this cute little game and a frilly lacy pink nightie. 

Perfect for a pyjama party?!
