LOVEEEEEEEE these boots!!!!!

Üks päev, kuus asja

Nii nüüd lõpuks võtsin end kätte ja tegin kaks õmblemis päeva. Esimene päev oli viljakas ja suutsin valmis meisterdada 6 asja ( muidugi ma ei tegelenud ka ainult õmblemisega). Ja kuna ma olen selline kunsti inimene siis kõik päevad pole kohe õmblemis päevad. Nii ka seekord. Järgmine päev polnud kohe üldse nii ladus. Esimene pluus mille tegin tuli kuidagi lääbakas. Ja teine oli ka imelik. Kui ma hakkasin sinist jumpsuti tegema siis pidin üsna kiirelt alla andma kuna see ei läinud rindadest kinni eest ja pükste osa ei läinud ka jalga. Ühe sõnaga põrusinläbi. Aga see eest tegin esimesel päeval valmistatud asjadest pilti. Siin need on:)


Pükste riide meeter maksis 10.-, Maika tegin isa maikast ümber. Õlale õmblesin kunst lilled. Lihtne DIY ( võta kunstlille õis, Eemalda see roheline jubin, mis seal küljes on nii, et alles jäävad ainult kroonlehed, Siis moodusta neist uuesti lilleõis ja õmble riidele. Lihtne, eksole!)



Roosa pluusi riie maksis kokku 22.- , pükste riie 35.- Kingad on zarast 599.- ja käevõru ikka seppäläst 45.-



Helesinine suve kampsik, kangas maksis kokku 40.- Sandaalid Zarast 399.-

( ...jh ma tean mul peaaegu ''trussikud'' paistavad, Tgelt mul olid lühkarid ka all:)

Pääsukese lõikega militaar jaki riie maksis kokku 20.- Kett 19.- m
Püksid tegin vanast Zara pluusist ja nööbid maksid 10 senti tükk.



Sõjaväestiilis saapad ostsin kaltsukast ( täiesti uued) 50.-

Mad Men Style Inspiration

Mad Men 1950s Style



I am excited for the Premiere of Mad Men tonight. I have noticed a lot of 50s inspired fashion trends for fall. Think cardigan sets, brooches, and full skirts.

Alice + Olivia for MAC Cosmetics





MAC Cosmetics has recently released it's latest designer collaboration with this new line by Alice + Olivia. I love all of the funky colors and the retro (80's) glam packaging. These pops of color will be really great for fall and can be used in a small dose during the day or in a heavier application for a more bold look during the evening.

loving that nail color.

Cinnamon Toast... Mmmmm!

One of my favorite cereals is Cinnamon Toast Crunch. As I was enjoying a sweet bowl of it recently, I started to think about its' origins. What is cinnamon toast and how do you make it? I figured I would like it since I love the cereal version. I assumed it was ridiculously complex and I suppose if you were making it completely from scratch then it would be. However, I am no bread-maker and I won't pretend to be one. I admit, I took the easy lazy way on this one... store-bought sliced bread. LOL. Once I made it and tried it, I liked it right away. It's great for breakfast or as a snack!

Basically, you take a slice of bread and toast it until it is golden brown. While the bread is toasting, mix together cinnamon and sugar. I didn't measure, but if I had to guess I'd say I mixed about 2 teaspoons each into a little measuring cup. Make sure you mix well, so that there is no distinction between the cinnamon and the sugar. While it's still hot, butter the toast generously. As the butter melts into the bread, sprinkle your cinnamon/sugar mix all over the slices of toast so that you will be sure to taste it with every bite. And you're done! Take a bite and enjoy your tasty treat!


NOTE: Though I didn't physically bake anything for this particular blog entry, the elements involved are in fact baked goods.
