Sale Overture

Heavy metal chain necklace from Lindex.
I saw metal necklaces in Stockholm everywhere in the fall and
I had my eye on them ever since. :)
The weight tells you is it quality or not!
At least I feel strongly so with items like this.

Jewel earrings from Pieces.
They were not actually in sale
but when I had started buying stuff,
I hadn't problems in taking these beauties too. :)
I simply love them!

A bronze and detailed bracelet is too from Lindex.
It was only 2,5 € and it has all these precious little things..!
Worked on me and I love it, all the details are detailed with care. :)

Lavendel Eiffel tower earrings from Glitter.
My second pair of Eiffel themed earrings, haha!
Not in sale these either though but hey, these were wonderful.
The plates are nice big and the color is pretty. 

Patent leather pumps from Bianco.
Peep toe, CUTE ankle straps and 13 cm heel = The Party Shoes
They were only 35 €, looking lovely on feet, I was with my shoe freak friend
AND I needed shoes to go with my new dress...:

Whole sequin, little black dress that girl needs from Vila! <3
Finally it was in sale!!! I'm so happy.
It's shape is very classy, which is good because the sequins don't actually need more than
just basic shape so it wont hit the ceiling. ;)


What nice did you find from sales? :))
I think I will go check the sales in 2011... This is not over yet.

Miss Jean-Paul Gaultier

Today I decided to do something useful with my free time and so I grabbed my sewing kit! And started pinning on my sewing model.

I'm designing and sewing a black top with a corset cut. I got a sudden urge to have a top like that, I think it would be quite cute and my style...

I have the breast parts already but I came to search some inspiration pictures from We heart it for the cuts in the body part. I might keep it as simple as possible, like in the above pic, no Jean-Paul Gaultiers for the first corset top I ever make! :P

The fabric I use stretchs nicely so I only need to sew a metallic zipper. I had visioned to put it like in the pic.

Now I'll go back shaping my ideas. To this end of the post I want to share a picture of a dress that really pictures my idea for my future prom gown!

I had honestly thought of having a corset top and a fluffy skirt part! I'm glad I don't need think it yet but I had something like this in mind - maybe not so candy princessy though... But it would be great solution for the after party to grab the fluffy skirt part off and change it to something more casual with the top.

All inspiration pictures are from We Heart It.

Best Ideas Come At Night

Maybe it was last week's Friday, when I didn't catch sleep nohow. I rolled and drank water but for nothing. So I started to think about clothes and sewing. 

"Wow, the last time when I did cloth designs was in summer. 

Now it's almost winter..."

Then I started to think my black dress I had made a week ago from lovely material.

"It's though nice, but now I can't feel the click anymore. 

I should customize it somehow"

Here's the dress I'm now talking about:

Low waist line, balloon hem,
simple top, bow belt and
deep V-back with button line.
Material = adorable.

So I grabbed my pencil and paper from table and started visioning new look for the dress:

I thought about shortening the top with 3 cm and customizing the skirt part by changing it to "shorts": very loose ones, looks like skirt. Hem's length would stay as it is now already. Top would change from the original also by the only and one shoulder strap.

As you see from my sketch, there's also something ruffled near the elbow. I thought to attach broad antique white lace to the strap like. The white color is repeated in the dress when I do white stitching near all seams. (Pink in the pic.)

Ok, so now I have my plans, next time I have time, this project will start going on! ;)

It's so much fun to customize clothes!
