Five lovely things.

April 1, 2011 By Chie

It’s Friday! I’m so happy..Hope everyone has lovely plans for the weekend:) Here are five lovely things that I would like to share:

1. I love this shop I found on etsy the other day: Flapperdoodle. She has the cutest prints ever! The shop also has a print for Japan earthquake relief.

2. Oilcloth storage bin tutorial at Design Sponge.  I personally dislike sewing oilcloth (I think oilcloth is really hard to sew!), so I might use regular fabric with thick iron-on interface instead. I need a couple of these small storage bins to hold my notions, lace, buttons etc and also for to hold some diapers and cute headbands for the baby’s room:)

3. Anarchy Street back lace cut out shirt
I’ve been eyeing this shirt ever since I saw Aime of Song of Style wearing it. Unfortunately it’s sold out now, but I’m thinking this can be made with a thrifted white shirt with lace?

4. Rucksack in Cinnamon Brown
Another find from etsy. I want this so bad, but $162 is a bit out of my price range… This would be perfect to hold my 15 inch screen laptop.

5. Longer length pleated skirt & flats
I don’t think I own this between knee, but not quite maxi length skirt. Natalie styled it up so nicely and I can’t wait to imitate her outfit above. As much as I try, I don’t think this style works well with my huge bump:p

Have a great weekend!

Inspiration: After the Carnival

I am tossing around some ideas for an upcoming photo shoot in mid May.  I definitely want to use balloons as props, and I want to incorporate bright solid colors such as sky blue, yellow and orange for the clothes. I like to have a “theme” for the shoot, instead of just naming it as “Spring collection” or “Summer collection”. When I told my idea of using balloons for the shoot to Andy, he said, “How about “After the Carnival” shoot?” 
I am thinking that I like the title! What do you think? Now I am imagining things like Ferris wheels, big lollipops, cotton candy and a big bright blue  sky…
These images above are some inspiration photos that I’ve been collecting for the shoot 🙂

Inspiration: Blue Dresses

March 23, 2011 By Chie

1. Spring/Summer 2011 Family Affair dress worn by Erin on calivintage, 2. Beautiful one shoulder dress from The Sew Weekly, 3. Sweet heart neckline dress from weheartit, 4. A summer dress with unique back detail, from Flashes of Style via lookbook, 5. Vivienne Tam 2011 Spring dress via weheartit, 6. Blue floral dress via remarkablemadness

Sorry for the lack of post yesterday. I had a post planned, but sometimes the life gets in the way..yesterday was one of those days. I will post that some other time instead:) 
 
I keep a folder named “inspiration” on my desktop of PC, where I save different images that inspire me. I checked back my inspiration folder today and found all kinds of blue dresses.
I love how Erin styled up the Family Affair dress (#1), and the way she took the photo reminds me of Mary Poppins! I think the combination of black and white polka-dot print and pale blue is awesome. And the big buttons and vintage ferragamo bow flats. I just won something like that in cream color from ebay! If you’re looking for Bohemian Dresses this summer then I recommend Top Tier Style. They have a great selection and plenty of dresses in blue!
