SCARBERIAN FASHION LOVER

Half of the planet is going through extreme hot weather right now. Here in Toronto, we are averaging about 40℃/104℉ humidex...quite normal down south but for us in Canada, that's hot, you guys! I'm not complaining though as I have said before, our winters are sooooo long.   It is scary though what is happening to our planet right now, you know? Anyone who says we don't have a climate change caused by environmental damage is a fool. Anyhoo, right now, all I can really manage to wear aside from shorts and shirts are these dresses I sewed. old dress I sewed using the Merchant and Mills Bantam pattern (I made three of these:D), J Crew ballet flats I hope you are all doing well and managing to stay cool (or warm depending on where you are):)

Even though this shirt is long-sleeved, it's still a great wear during the hot summer months because of the thin cotton material. BTW, I bought this when we were in Universal Studios Orlando and to this day, I still think that Florida trip was our best vacay ever and now every summer I always reminisce about it and now I'm sad and oh well let me go off in a corner now.... Gryffindor shirt, H&M shorts, Vans slip ons What was the trip you've taken that you still think of fondly after awhile?

My kids say it's ok to lose me in the crowd coz they can spot my hair colour easily. I must admit that I'm totally digging this new colour ...Vampire Red from Manic Panic. I mean...just the name, amirite? Lookie...new background! I thought you guys deserve a break than my usual backyard shots...bwahaha.... old dress I sewed using a Lotte Jansdotter pattern, Alexandrina's sandals  Out and about with my old LV Speedy 35 bag

  "The world isn't simple enough to explain in words." - Miyazaki image from imdb.com Hayao Miyazaki is one of Japan's most beloved directors and is considered to be one of the best animators in the world. The artwork in his films are just so beautiful. Miyazaki-san has been a recipient of prestigious awards such as the Academy Award in 2002 for Best Animated Feature Film and the Venice International Film Fest's Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement. From Wikipedia: Miyazaki's works are characterized by the recurrence of themes such as humanity's relationship with  nature  and technology, the wholesomeness of natural and traditional patterns of living, the importance of art and craftsmanship, and the difficulty of maintaining a  pacifist  ethic in a violent world. As co-founder of Studio Ghibli, he has given us so many wonderful films (he has written and directed  most of them) that will be treasured for generations to come. movie ima...

Even though I like cropped tops, I do think there are tops that are just too cropped...you know what I'm saying? I got this body suit just to wear when the tops are just a little too short to my liking:D top from Zumiez, Tommy Hilfiger body suit from Urban Outfitters, GAP shorts, Birkenstock sandals Doing our supermodel poses...bwahaha

There's really nothing like wearing linen during the hot summer months. This dress might be black, but I love wearing this in the summer coz linen:D old dress I sewed using the Merchant and Mills Bantam pattern, Vans sneakers
