SCARBERIAN FASHION LOVER

I've worn this leather jacket and ankle boots on this blog a lot. I think they are must-haves and such versatile pieces...and yay that I can finally put away my thick winter coat (knock on wood)! Silence & Noise leather jacket, shirt I sewed, UNIQLO legging pants Have a great weekend, everyone!

We had the chance to see the pop-up Fleurs de Villes show at Vaughan Mills which featured mannequins dressed in beautiful floral gowns. It was really amazing how these looked, you guys! Here are some pics we took:)

This is officially my 1000th post, you guys! IKR?!?!? I honestly didn't think I'd be blogging for this long.   Thank you to all of you who take the time to read my little musings and comment...you all rock:)  What better way to celebrate than to feature the Olsen twins again on this blog who have been my fave fashion icons for forever:) image from olsensanonymous.blogspot.com image from olsensanonymous.blogspot.com image from olsensanonymous.blogspot.com image from olsensanonymous.blogspot.com image from olsensanonymous.blogspot.com image from olsensanonymous.blogspot.com image from olsensanonymous.blogspot.com

So....I feel like this winter will never leave us, guys! We just had an ice storm, and it's the middle of April...sigh....Well, one thing that's sure to make a girl feel good is having new stuff in the closet. (Yes...I'm shallow.) shirt my mom got from Marshall's, H&M pants, Ugg Australia Adirondack boots And another lovely gift from the hubby...almost scary how much he knows what I like and don't like. Muji Water Repellant Trench Coat Love this coat soooooo much. I've been wanting something like this for awhile coz I think it's such a timeless piece, you know? Anyhoo, I hope you are all having a better weather than us over here!

Do you guys remember this dress I sewed awhile back? I really didn't like it and never did wear it again, so I decided to turn it into a skirt. skirt I sewed (self-drafted) worn with leather jacket from Urban Outfitters, Muji shirt and Doc Martens I re-sewed the four bottom panels and turned it into one that looks a bit like a kilt. I attached a kilt buckle and used a kilt pin which were surprisingly easy to find!  In progress: hand-sewing the buckle The waistband after I must admit I'm quite happy how this turned out. Definitely will get more wear than the original! And speaking of second time, I knitted another one of these:) used the Pussyhat Project pattern

I've mentioned in this post  about my obsession with the band. What's a girl to do but buy some band merch, of course...bwahaha! (purchased from  The Killers store ) Let's all enjoy some more of their music, shall we?

Just had my birthday a few days ago, and this is a new addition to my small bag collection...a birthday gift from the hubby:D Thanks, hubby! Dr.Marten's Large Kiev backpack I love tote bags, but have really been using backpacks the past few years. It's much easier on the back and very handy for travel. Do you like backpacks?

I'm one of those moms who like matching outfits...not for the kids, mind you, but for me and my daughter...bwahaha! This is the latest thing I've finished knitting...a sweater to match the jumper I made for my daughter awhile back. sweater I knitted using Mary E. Jacob's  Love Birds  pattern, worn with BDG jeans and Vans slip ons Here's my daughter wearing the jumper I made her using the Love Birds Jumper pattern  by Arenda Holladay, who is also my teacher in one of the knitting courses I'm taking. She's awesome. being a little monkey In progress: If you knit, I highly recommend joining The Knitting Guild Association . For a small yearly fee (currently $25US), you get access to Cast On Magazine (where these patterns are from), and be able to enrol in courses & certifications (for a reasonable price) such as the Master Hand Knitter program (am slowly plugging along on the last level, you guys), and Swatch to
