Back to Work! :(

Well, tomorrow morning it's back to work for me!  Boo! :(  But I only have 15 more days until the next big break!  Christmas!!  This Thanksgiving break has been much needed and was very appreciated by me!  I was able to rest, sew, do some lesson plans and just catch up on things at the house that needed to be taken care of. 

I'm going to miss basically soley concentrating on outfits, fashion and sewing now that I have to go back to work, but I'm ALWAYS thinking about that stuff! 

All the holiday parties are coming up and I must have a sequined dress or skirt or something with sequins on it!  I found a wonderful internet fabric store that carries great sequined fabric and I believe I will be buying from them soon.  Sequined Fabric Website  I want to make some sort of dress, I'm not sure if it will be all sequins or what exactly.  Here are some of the dresses I'm basing my design off of. 


I'm also dying for some colored denim, like maybe some red, yellow or royal blue?!  Or maybe all of them?! :)  I can't decide?!


Until next time, happy sewing! :)

3rd post of the day! WOW!

Happy Thanksgiving again everyone!

I've been having fun with all my blogging with my time off and have finally figured some fun things out to make my blog look better and work better and faster, so hopefully I can post more often!

I am completely inspired by Judith March and her southern style!  We carry her designs at Just The Thing on Devine Street and everyone buys every piece as soon as we put them out on the floor.  She is really into "gameday" dresses which is great for every college girl in town going to tailgate for the USC games. 

As you know, I am an Auburn fan too!  She also does Auburn gameday dresses.  I have never bought any of her clothes, but I have made some very similar and will have to post those pics later on!

But for now.....check out this precious Auburn gameday dress in honor of the Iron Bowl this Saturday!  War Eagle!!

 

Until next time, happy sewing!

Animals!

As much as I love fashion and everything about it, I also love animals!  Life is so much better with them in it!  I found this on Pinterest today and just had to post it!

 


1. My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be painful remember that before you get me. 2. Give me time to understand what you want of me. 3. Place your trust in me- it is crucial to my well being. 4. Do not be angry at me for long, and do not lock me up as punishment. 5. You have your work, your entertainment,and your friends. I only have you. 6. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice when it is speaking to me. 7. Be aware that how ever you treat me, I will never forget. 8. Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily hurt you, but I choose not to bite you because I love you. 9. Before you scold me for being uncooperative,obstinate,or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I might not be getting the right food, or I have been out too long, or my heart is getting to old and weak. 10. Take care of me when I get old; you too will grow old. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say: "I cannot bear to watch" or "Let it happen in my absence." Everything is easier for me if you are there, even my death. Remember that I love you.                   

i couldn't help but post this!!

I found this on Pinterest, which  I am completely obsessed with!  It is sooooo addictive!  I think I need to print this off for work!

Thanksgiving Break!

So, I realize I've been out of commission basically with my blog!  I apologize!  Since work started back in August I have literally been swamped!!  Today has been my first day off since August 1!  Yuck!  I'm trying to catch up with some posts for you guys!

Just because this has been my first day off in months, doesn't mean I haven't been sewing and keeping up with the latest styles!  That would never happen!  I've been juggling fashion, style, trends and 7th and 8th grade science!  Wow!  Such a weird statement!  Haha!  I love it though!  It definitely keeps me busy!

Here are some pics of my new styles!

 

These 2 looks were in the 701 Whaley Fashion Show on Sunday, November 13 that was put on by USC's Retail 388 students!  They did a wonderful job!  I hope to post the video of my 10 looks walking down the runway over my Thanksgiving break!

I'm off to sewing and designing my dress for the Carolina vs. Clemson game!  Wish me luck!

Until next time, happy sewing!
