SCARBERIAN FASHION LOVER

 I liked this outfit, coz not only is it comfortable, both the top and pants are embellished.:D Alabama Chanin shirt I made using a kit I bought, old jeans from Urban Outfitters, Vans slip ons Out and about... Who is dat stranger behind us?!?! Hehe I still can't believe I gave birth to these three hooligans some days....:D Do you like embellishments in your clothing?

 My daughter (who is also my personal photographer) said I should title this post with the one above...apparently Jamie Campbell Bower (who we both love) said it. :D old shirt (don't know from where), dress from Urban Outfitters, Doc Martens old jacket also from Urban Outfitters Out and about...

This is one outfit I tend to wear a lot. I love this shirt so much and must've worn it and shown it here on the blog a hundred times. Hey...what can I say? When I find something I like, it never really goes away:D Truly Madly Deeply shirt from Urban Outfitters, UNIQLO pants, Vans slip ons Out and about:) Is there an outfit you've worn over the years that don't get tired of?

 Just sharing some stuff we've been up to lately:) I can't believe we're going into summer soon....eeek! My daughter just finished her spring swimming class.  My eldest just had his prom, and will be going to university in September....wut?!?!? Both my boys just got graded in their Brazilian jiu-jitsu class...yellow belts now. Yay:) We just got two new shubunkins:)  (Fact: I love fancy goldfishes and kept them for a long time until  my last one passed away. We had that fantail for 10 years. Currently, we have a red-eared slider I've kept for almost 13 years...fingers crossed he'll be around for a long time.)                                                     My daughter just had her Spring Concert/Recital. That's her voice teacher on the piano. She's awesome:) Here's the link to a short video of her singing:) And lastly...our parish churc...

 Sooooo....this is quite a long list, everyone:) When I was in isolation due to Covid, watching movies was pretty much all I did and had energy for....so....yeah:D  I have finally seen all of Wes Anderson's films (except for Bottle Rocket)...yay! I also re-watched the ones I've already seen. I also did this for some Miyazaki films...hehe In chronological order:  (I will include even the ones that I didn't like or are just ok, in case you haven't seen them and want to know:)) 1) Ravenous This is an old horror-ish film, and I can't believe I just saw it.! It's definitely different in terms of the tone of the film, and because it deals with cannibalism, it's definitely gory but still a great watch. 2) The Thing Also an old horror/sci-fi film, and this one was just ok but still a good watch. 3) The Wind Rises This is such a great Miyazaki film! Love love love. 4) The King After seeing Dune, I really became a Chalamet fan and decided to finally give this a go on ...

 Books that I've just read or currently reading:) 1) Reacher: Killing Floor by Lee Child         Loved the series on Amazon (and the Tom Cruise movies) so I decided to finally read the first book. I liked it a lot, but is it the best written? Not really, but still a great read.                     2) Fangs by Sarah Andersen I've wanted to get my hands on this for a long time and finally did. I love this graphic novel! Such a quirky story, and Sarah's comedic timing when it comes to her comic panels is just perfect. Currently reading... 3) The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway I've always loved Ernest Hemingway since reading A Moveable Feast and some of his short stories, but have not really read any of his fiction work. (Crazy, right?!?) I am reading this right now, and am also loving it so far. I've always admired his writing style. (Edit:Just realized I've already this a long time ago! This was a re-read, Love...

 Soooo....I did end up getting Covid. I guess it was only a matter of time since everyone else got it. Thank you to everyone who reached out to ask how we were all doing:) XOXO Anyhoo, in a way, the timing was perfect, coz we all were out of isolation, and negative again this weekend when my daughter's Confirmation happened. (I must admit, though, that my energy level is still not what it used to be:( ) As a Catholic, this is a pretty big deal for us. My daughter prepared for it for about half a year...mostly virtual. The actual ceremony happened in person, and thought I'd just share some pics here:) I sewed these outfits awhile back...both for me but my daughter can wear my clothes now! (Tilly and the Buttons pattern for her jumpsuit, and the Alabama Chanin Panel Tank dress pattern for my dress) with her godmother:) with the Bishop who officiated the ceremony Family picture time!:D How was your weekend?
