SCARBERIAN FASHION LOVER

 When in doubt, I always turn to black outfits:D Am I lazy? Perhaps...but you can't really go wrong with black for any occasion IMO... from casual... ...to a more dressed up occasion. We took our parish priest out for dinner. Father Peter become someone dear to our family over the years, and he is now going to a different parish:( We are truly sad to see him leave. (My middle child is an altar server.) Speaking of religion, I did a video on the Word On Fire Volume 2 Bible on my art channel, as it is filled with beautiful art work. Check it out! (Even if you are not Catholic, this Bible is worth a look:))

 If you have been following my posts for awhile, then you know I'm a Kristen Stewart fan since her Twilight days. These days,  her fierce fashion choices are just inspiring. image from thenewyorker.com image from dazed.com image from glamour.com image from usweekly.com For our book club channel, I made a video where I read her fave books, and let me tell you, her taste in books is awesome! Who's been inspiring you lately?

 It''s been awhile since I've sewn a garment for myself. I started this corset project last year and never got to finish it. Now that it's getting warm, I've decided to just go for it and get it done, and I'm so happy I did:) I love this piece! Pattern: The Alabama Chanin Corset ; Stencil: Anna's Garden (also from Alabama Chanin) Blue cotton jersey and thread were from Alabama Chanin, black cotton jersey from Fabricland You can wear it casually.... ...or in a more dressed up style! "In progress" pics (As with all my Alabama Chanin pieces, I hand-sewed everything, and airbrushed the stencil myself using Createx paint in Pearl Blue. I used the reverse-appliqué technique.) With my 3 kids...the youngest had her recital:) Here's a video of my daughter singing....

 Even though I still can't buy anything (due to my self-imposed ban of not buying any new clothes and shows from January to June), I can still wish for stuff, right? Hahahaha 1) Eclisse Dress by Sea image from goop.com 2) Marcelle Cargo jeans by Citizens of Humanity image from holtrenfrew.com 3) Leighton skirt by Alabama Chanin I am currently hand-sewing an Alabama Chanin corset (similar to this ) that would look so good with this skirt. Aaaah! image from alabamachanin.com What's in your summer wishlist?
