SCARBERIAN FASHION LOVER

My youngest turned eight over the weekend...holy crap! As a parent, nothing really shows the passage of time more than seeing your kids grow in a blink of an eye. It's quite a scary and exhilarating ride.... She also had a recital for the end of the fall season in her ballet class. As a reference, this was my first post that included her...yup....

Some of the images inspiring me lately:) image from olsensanonymous.blogspot.com image from olsensanonymous.blogspot.com  The fashion world mourned the recent death of the awesome designer Azzedine Alaia. He was one of the designers I've really admired, and a true visionary like Rei Kawakubo and Vivienne Westwood. RIP image from alaia.fr image from alaia.fr

I love this tunic/kimono wrap I made awhile back (see post here ) but I have to admit pieces like this are a bit hard to wear IMO. I find I make these items that I really adore but are kinda hard to wear, especially with the harsh weather we get here. Do you find yourself buying/making items that are impractical but you still get them/make them anyway just coz you like them? tunic I sewed using the Trina pattern from Victory Patterns, Uniqlo jeans, Doc Martens

I have to admit...I am really immature, which is probably why my kids talk to me like we're the same age. The title above pretty much sums up what they say  every time I practice my Japanese and wear my Spirited Away items like the one below:D Weeaboo: Noun.  weeaboo  (plural  weeaboos ) (slang, derogatory) A non-Japanese person (especially one of Caucasian ancestry) who is obsessed with Japanese culture and behaves in a stereotypically Japanese manner. -Wiktionary But hey...I'm not Caucasian so that's ok, right ...But no...seriously....I really am more of Japanophile than anything.:P  Have a great weekend, my peeps. じゃあ、また。

I've had this vest for ages, but never really get the chance to wear it much. When I KonMari'd my closet, this was actually one of the things I was so confused about whether it sparked joy or not. In the end I ended up keeping it.  I'm glad I did keep it because it's such a great layering piece. Now that the colder weather is upon us, the time to start dressing up like the Michelin man is back on again, baby! Gap vest, Saks 5th Ave turtleneck, BDG jeans, Timberland booties, old hat I knitted

These are the ones I have enjoyed/been enjoying lately and highly recommend:) 1) Happy Death Day Out of the all the current horror films I've seen so far , Happy Death Day was the one I've really enjoyed the most. It's pretty much the horror version of Groundhog Day. Honestly, I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did. It was the right amount of suspense with a little touch of humour, and the cast was surprisingly good. Honourable mentions: IT, Wish Upon, Annabelle Creation image from hollywoodreporter.com 2) Stranger Things 2 I have been waiting for the second season for what seems like forever, and man...did it live up to the hype! I didn't read any reviews at all before watching it, and I'm glad. I think the second season did a great job of continuing the story of the Upside Down World, and the addition of Sean Astin and Paul Reiser to the cast was awesome! I also am now in love with King Steve:D image from strangerthings.wikia.com im...

There's just something so nostalgic about turtlenecks tucked in. Uniqlo top, BDG jeans from Urban Outfitters, Vans slip ons

 I hope you all had a fun spooky Halloween. If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you know that it's a pretty big deal for our household:D Here are some pics below. I've included the inspiration pics for our costumes this time coz I know some of the characters we picked this year are not known to everyone. I made my daughter's costume. My middle child's costume was the same one I did last year, but he wore it  this year with a hat we got as souvenir from Disney Epcot. I did the "prop" notebook for my eldest. Raiden (Mortal Kombat) image from hero.wikia.com Edna Mode (from Disney Pixar's The Incredibles) This was actually pretty hard to sew, you guys, because pleather.... image from disney.wikia.com Kira (from Death Note) He was just basically dressed regularly but with the notebook...hahaha. image from anime-planet.com And as for my husband and I... Atomic Blonde (I was just wearing my regul...
