The Kimono of My Dreams

So here it is the Kimono I made for myself. My little DIY project turned out quite successful. I posted earlier some sneak peak pictures to this and finally you guys can see the end product. It was a fairly easy project but there were some OOOH I should have done that before this moments but still I'm very happy with it. The fabric is a tad thicker than what a hot summers day would require but its still very nice to throw one to avoid too much sun. I also saw a dress at Promod made from the exact same fabric! I'm also super glad I added the lace trim to it, it turned out so much better than what I originally thought.

Ok so I'll stop with the ranting on how wonderful it is and how proud I am of myself. I'm already planning new projects, which are more related to fixing old shirts I just don't wanna throw away. But in the meanwhile here is some nice barbecue pics and the awkwardly positioned me. Oh how I miss the sun from these pics, please come again!

Hot Hot Summer Nails

I'm really gonna miss getting my nails done, but its time for a break. These were the second last ones I got, kinda hot orange inspired by summer. The pictures make it look kinda funny and also my hands look super old. I think I need to moisturize them more. I do kinda miss doing my nails myself, but its just so much nicer to have gel nails that last longer. Doing my nails myself always left me frustrated coz after hours of doing them, the next day one nail would chip. There is still one more post about gel nails coming so stay tuned.

The School Bus

It was the 4th of July that we went with some friends to a cool hamburger place here in L-town, which means I'm a super slow poster... Anyways we had some burgers and enjoyed some live entertainment. As it was still early July the jasmine bush in the yard was still blooming and the fragrance was so wonderful. Its just one of those things I will definitely miss during the winter. After having about 30 plus days of staggering heat, I'm pretty much ready for fall and some cooler weather. I have always been more of a winter person anyway. I don't complain about the cold and dark, I just love it. The dark gives me the perfect reason to have tons of candles and twinkle lights all around. Though there are things of summer I will miss; like swimming, strawberries and blueberries, jasmine flowers and all other flowers, the sun and so on... But feeling sweaty I will never miss, haha.

Sneak Peek

Just a little sneak peek into a DIY project I did earlier this summer. I found some instructions online and was amazed at how easy it was. Just what I wanted to buy from a store but now can brag that I made it myself and its exactly what I wanted. Can you already guess what it is?

Share a Coke with..... ME!

I cannot believe its already the last day of July! Time flies so fast and I have been such a lazy blogger. To be fair though I have been cleaning up my childhood closet and going through my old clothes, toys and so on. This task has taken me longer than I expected as I thought I would have done it in a week, its taken me months, but then again I'm easily distracted to other more interesting things. For example laying around in the sun, watching horror movies, playing with my iPad and celebrating my birthday. Also I have to say this latest heatwave has totally stripped me of any energy I might have, all I could do was just lay around in my air-conditioned room or in a lake. Oh and yes I was late at the swimming thing as well as I just went swimming last weekend during my birthday celebration. Better late than never, right? Cleaning out a closet sounds easy in theory but then when you start to reminisce on all the things passed and try to decide what memories and things are worth keeping around, well it takes time. I've finally sorted through the majority of clothing and packed them away neatly in size order for future generations to sort through. Now all I need to do is figure out all the other toys, books etc stuff.. I feel tired just writing about it.

So basically the point of this post is to display some nice pictures of my Birthday and promise to post more soon, as for once I have a million pictures ready for posting just all I need is to sit down and edit them and also come up with something clever to say. So I'll try to work on that as well as my closet cleaning project ASAP. In the mean while enjoy the lovely summer cabin pictures, the Coke bottle with my surname(that I cleverly edited out, muhahhaha) and the delicious mud-cake!
