I have so many crafting projects in my inbox it's kind of overwhelming. I did succeed in making some cool pleather vambraces from pleather place mats from the dollar store for Nerd Fest last Friday. My friend Steph loved them and now I have two on order to make for Christmas. Pictures later! I'm thinking of making them for my Smaug costume that I'll be debuting at the Hobbit "midnight" premiere on the 13th (I dislike this whole business of assigned seating and 10pm showings. Kind of takes away the excitement of lining up super early to get good seats).
Speaking of which: STEEL PUNK - is a thing that Steph and I are totally going to start. Inspired by this article here. I am totally inspired to wear and hopefully make clothing like that! It's super funky and I love it.
I pitched the idea to my fashion major friend Jordanna (of the cats in sailor costumes tumblr above) for the collection she's working on and she's actually making it. I'm so excited.
So back to fashion. I've decided that this winter is all about luxe. Fabrics: leather, velvet, heavy wool, silk. Prints: tapestry weaves, damask. Colours: oxblood, emerald, sapphire. All jewel tones, everything that invokes Pre-Raphaelite and heavy curtains and mahogany walls and swishing gowns. It's all about luxury. I want an emerald or ruby velvet dress. That's my next target. But here is a picture of some tapestry wedge heels I got at Aldo for about 40 bucks on sale (with the obligatory outfit picture of course).
Emerald is my new seasonal colour. It's seductive and beguiling and dangerous. I'm in love. Also: snakes. I bought the necklace in my polyvore mix pic below. for 4 dollars. Not telling you where though, it's a secret ;)
This is my first time using Polyvore! Please excuse the shabby first effort.
Hopefully more inspiring outfit sets to come on the way :)
