It's been a while!

Wow. I haven't posted in about 2 months but I have been saving pictures and projects and footage the whole time I swear haha. Anyway, I'm just glad i'm starting this year off on a good start one blog post at a time! I've been working hard in my studies and at work and I'll tell you right now, IT'S PAYING OFF! Not only do I have a B average, but my bank account is poppin' even with my Sephora addiction going rampant. SOOOOO here's what I've been doing lately in a nutshell!

End of October

Halloween I went to school as Baby Spice which strangely was a hard decision because I was NOT in the Halloween spirit so I couldn't make up my minnndddd. But it was between Scary or Baby spice and I probably could have pulled off Mel's look better but I still felt really cute. For ACTUAL Halloween, I was Bulma from Dragon Ball Z and I was so happy cause the security guards and my co-workers knew who I was. ^u^ I might re-do the dress and wear it to a con but idk bout that...

Best outfit + face of the month

November
I spent some time working hard and rewarding myself by spending time with my hs mains and my inkling babe Selena for ramen for Black Friday and on free days from work. I also went to a casual lolita swap meet at a friend's house sadly I came SUPER late so I didn't get to do much but I did stay long enough for my friend Kiara to give me some cute knee highs and the white cat dress which fits like a god damn glove <3 I also love the look I did in the Chinese button up and slightly geisha inspired hair. For thanksgiving, I spent time at Sammy's and slept over for like 3 days and I took a glamor shot in my onesie ☺️

December

All of December my makeup was poppin something fierce?! Ohh Yess and I have spending alarming amounts of money on makeup to point where I'm only 2-4 trips away from the highest rewards card at Sephora, VIB ROUGE. Anyway December is more of a selfie dump 😅

This year has been a interesting roller coaster and a half man. It definitely feels like there were 2 parts to this year and it got a bit crazy in my personal life but I'm moving into the new year on better notes. 

Bye bye 2015. 

See you on my next post 😘 -Erica 

Recent makeup + updates

Hehe yep. Selfie dump. It's been a really good month for my eyebrows 😂 I've been feeling really good about work and keeping my life and sanity together and all of that. I'm getting back into YouTubeing a bit more regularly and sewing as well. My next post will be about the recent sweater DIY I did. If you have me on Facebook then you'll have seen it already. But yeah just a little update to say I'm not dead :)

Sewing, future projects

Hey guys! I'v been really into my designing and sewing projects lately since school has ended. I made this really cute Crop top from The Felted Fox that I've had saved in my bookmarked for like a year! I made 2 of these but I like the rainbow one a lot better than the pale pink and white striped one.

 I wore it out to school a month or so ago and got a lot of compliments on it and I ended up wearing to Boston's Pride Parade where I found JuJuBee walking around downtown <3 total sweetie

I started making more sketches for what I could do with the leftover fabric since I still had another yard or so left over. I ended up with 2 really cute looks but only enough fabric for 2 more pieces. I went with the shorts and I'm thinking about making the triangle top or maybe even a halter top instead. This was my first time making a garment with a hidden zipper like this so I got to learn a little bit and it came out pretty good! I just have to practice about making sure my fabrics have a bit more stretch since it can be hard to get in and out of sometimes even though it fits perfect.

After my interview the other day I went to my favorite fabric store because I wanted some new stuff to play with so I got some really cute blue cotton heart fabric and some light blue chiffon. I'm not totally sure what this will turn into yet but I got a small zipper and some matching thread for when I decide.  I drew another 2 designs based on other clothing I've seen and it's very feminine, cute and little flirty.I will most likely make something very "Sweet Gyaru" himekaji type something like this since I'm not super into pink.

I finished making the skirt yesterday but I might make another in a different patter and with a slightly different order of operations since I had a hard time putting it together. I finally learned how to do elastic better so next is to figure out how to use elastic thread and do some shirring!

Talk to you soon with some more projects!

Snapchat selfies

I love taking selfies so I feel like every month I'm gonna have a random selfie dump （≧∇≦）
