Look at the back!

These pants look really plain in the front...
Topshop top, super old Gap pants, Vans slip ons


...but check out the back of the right leg!
I just love little details like this.
On the crafting front, making stuff for myself has taken a back seat as I make Christmas outfits for the kids. So far, I have this shirt done. Let's just say I'm a bit behind schedule...ahem....

This is the first tailored shirt I've done, and man, talk about ambitious. This was really beyond my skills set, but I really wanted to learn how to make it, so I persevered. Blood and tears, let me tellz yah...but it's done, so I'm happy:D


Are you all set for the holidays?

Great job on the shirt! Love the embroidered details on the pants. I remember when those came out, I think Express used to have them too. I'm pretty much finished with Christmas shopping, thank goodness! :) Happy Monday! x

I used to have a pair of jeans with a surprise detail like that. I loved them. My best friend hated them and she only old me a few weeks ago how much she hated those pants, hahaha.

You are doing so good with the sewing Emmy; the floral detail at the back of the pants is a nice surprise.

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

Some analogue love #2

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
