Its a Skirt Epidemic

Friday, February 07, 2014

Happy Friday Lovelies!

So I've been doing some of cleaning especially in the clothing department, and I found several shirts that I didn't really like anymore (as shirts). So being the thrifty person that I am I turned them into skirts.

And I went a little skirt crazy.

Now they may not be party or special event worthy. But I figured that they would be cute enough to go shopping in, or over to a friends or just to wear at home. Whatever the case, I have new skirts!

I wanted to show you guys how I would dress them up.

Shirt #1


This skirt has a little gold accent that I love, so I decided to add my old/vintage belt (I've had it for eons and decided to resurrect it), some gold earrings and of course denim.

Shirt #2


If you didn't notice, I added the sleeves to the bottom and since they weren't wide enough I made a horizontal slit on both sides.

Shirt #3


Here I chose three different casual looks for the one skirt.

The skirt below was previously a dress that I altered, so I thought I would still share. It was a cute print.

Hope you have a safe and fabolous weekend!
XOXO

Latest Sewing Project: Green With Envy

Thursday, January 30, 2014

Hey lovelies,

Today's post shows my one of my latest Kayenar projects, its nothing major but I thought I'd share :).

It is my green asymmetrical jersey skirt!

I got this fabric as a birthday gift (I know I have the best friends ^_^).Now this was not the intended shape or look I was goin for at all.
It turns out that I cut the fabric dead wrong, so I did the simplest thing I could think of. I just brought part of the skirt to 1 side.

This ensemble made me feel like a woman and it made me feel very sexy even though I seemed to underestimate how voluptuous I really was. It honestly really made me feel good and like I could do anything :).

Anyways, take a look...

P.S Excuse my fabulous legs and booty ;)

I paired my kayenar skirt with a blouse I found at a flea market. The first time I saw it, the colours and the pattern called to me. And here it made the whole outfit very festive.

Hope you liked my post and my skirt!
Until next time mi loves,
Don't forget to smile :)
XOXO
Kei!

Mini Review: L.A. Colours Lipstick

Thursday, January 23, 2014

Hello lovelies,

Hope you're having a great day. Today I would like to talk about a lipstick I bought recently.

Now in the packaging the colour looked completely different and unfortunately there were no testers avaliable in the store. So I bought it hoping that it was the colour I was imagining it would be in my head.

Lo and behold it wasnt.

But! I tried it and I love it. It was the perfect nudeish lippie for my lips and as the packaging said, it was really moisturising and it made my lips feel soft. So now it is my favourite because you can hardly tell that I'm wearing it.

Check it out, it is the L.A. Colours Vitamin E & Aloe Vera Lipstick

As you can see there is a reddish tint to my lips, so this lippie would be perfect for the office or for those girls who don't favour the brighter colours.

Hope you guys liked my mini lipstick review.

Until next time lovies

DIY:His Shirt, Her Skirt

Sunday, January 19, 2014

Hey lovelies!!

I just realised I haven't posted anything for the new year and Janurary is almost over. But never mind that, for I am here! With a new simple and easy diy project.

Does your dad/brother/boyfriend/friend have t shirts or polo shirts ready to be thrown away? Save them! You can donate them...

Or

You can turn them into a cute fashionable skirt.

Here we will take an old but not too old male shirt to make our very own skirt. All you will need are:

1) A old male t-shirt. For this project I used a polo striped shirt like the one below.

2) scissors

3) An elastic band for the waist

4) A sewing machine or just needle and thread (if you don't have access to a machine)

5) pins

Firstly, laying the shirt on a flat surface and with it turned inside out, draw a horizontal line under the arm and if you would want a longer skirt, cut a little ways above this point.

Since the shirt should have some stretch we don't require alot of seam allowance.
For this step I wore the skirt and then pinned it according to my curves.

(Be sure not to pin actual body!)

After pinning I took it off and sewed the sides and cut off any access.

Then I took the elastic band (which was cut according to my waist measurements) and place it to the top of the skirt making sure to turn the skirt on the wrongside.

Take the elastic down about an inch and fold the top of the skirt over the elastic so it is covered.

Pin skirt, making sure not to pin the elastic between, then sew.

Then you're done! Your skirt is ready to wear !

Check it out!!

I also did this to another shirt and this is how I wore it. Remember if you want a longer skirt just cut the shirt above the arms and alter accordingly. I don't mind the length because iy reminds me to keep working on my legs.

I hope you enjoyed this DIY

Until next time lovies,

XOXO

2013

Seasons Greetings!!

Monday, December 23, 2013

Seasons Greetings Lovelies,

I'm back from my hiatus!Good news, school is finally over and I'm ready for 2014!!. 2013 hasn't been that bad but i'm ready for it to be over. I'm ready for new things to come, in terms of my personal life and career wise. But I still have some things to figure out.


Anyways, its been a year since my Big Chop and I couldn't be happier with my hair right now. Sometimes it still is hard for me to find styles that i like and that works for me but i'm figuring that out as it gets longer. I recently bleached it to dye it pink, but I started loving the bleach colour so I'm gonna rock it for a while then dye it pink later.


This is my length check from the front and sides



In the beginning i was kinda hesitant on the bleach because of the obvious reasons of damaging my hair. But I wanted to do something different so I took the risk. And i love it!!!

This is the first set of results

 I did it probably and inch away from the root because I didn't want it to be too harsh in terms of color vs my complexion, in case I did't really like it. And there is a difference in the texture but it isn't really noticeable. Well it's weird because with the change in color i couldn't tell if the texture was the same or if it changed :/ Also one thing I've been wanting to do is straighten my hair but I don't want to use any heat yet, so i think I'm gonna wait at least a month or two before I do that. Another thing that has been really frustrating though is the completely different texture of my hair at the front of my head. It was like that even before i bleached my hair, but when i'm doing twist outs it tends to just flop over my forehead and it is really not cute. But other than that i love the overall texture of my natural hair.


Well that was kind of an update, i guess, thank you for joining me. Don't be afraid to try something new. And chances are that if it doesn't work for you, it can be fixed and its all about the experience.

So until next time
Stay Safe and Happy Holidays!!
XOXO Kei

UPDATE: Life w/out School, What Next?

Sunday, November 24, 2013

Hey guys, 

So great news!! I'm almost finished at University!!!!! (praise Jah). Yes yes that is the reason for my prolonged absence (for those who were wondering). I was so miserable there, I can not wait to get out. But to be honest, it wasn't that bad because i got to meet new people and form new relationships and all that other good stuff. I got closer to some people which is a great thing. The only thing I didn't really like was actual SCHOOL. Like going to classes, doing homework and actually trying to learn something and be interested. Some stuff was boring and other subjects were fun (kinda). 

I am just tired and over school, I'm not passionate as some other people who are eager to learn learn learn. When i just want to get out, out, out!! I have been going to school for about 17 years and I AM DONE!! I'm convinced that I'm just not made for school. 

The bad news is that now i have to look for a job because i have responsibilities (bleh). I mean, yea i wanna make money but who likes paying bills?? Exactly no one!! but ya know that is the reason we all go to school so we can learn, get a good job and be comfortable with life and do all the things we love with the people we love. No one wants to struggle through life, unless you really like being poor or you like the struggle (which is unheard of).

But we all know everything takes time plus I still have alot of growing to do. I don't think we are ever done growing or learning, school or otherwise. But i think i'm ready to get out there.This is what we were born to do. right? I'm ready for life!! So BRING IT!!

*FIST PUMP*


So until next time

Hey lovelies!

Just showing you guys the patch denim pencil case I made myself for school. I also made one for my friend but it was a more simple one where as mine was more cubish. It can also double as a make up bag.



 Also made an over-sized denim clutch. So you guys can link me if you are interested in purchasing one or anything denim for that matter.
