Something Seems Familiar

So almost everyone knows I am a Twilight fan, to the point that I could be called a Twihard. And now that it is the last installment of the series Breaking Dawn is being filmed, I've really been paying attention, I'm not the only one.

A few pictures have leaked from the sets in Brazil of Kristen Steward and Robert Pattinson as Bella Swan or is it Cullen? and Edward Cullen Apparently they have been filming the arrival scene Well I noticed something familiar, Bella's dress. I have a dress very similar, granted it is a classic sheath dress and they could be found almost anywhere.

Now for those who are looking for the exact dress, well you cant because its vintage and so is mine. But I have recreated the look with help of Polyvore And because it is a simple look it can be created at any budget.

And if anyone cares this is my dress. I had bought it in 2003 for a wedding and I haven't worn it since.



I think I might pull that dress out for my company's Christmas party. I just may copy the Bella outfit or I may not.

I really like the belt. Whatever ♥

Extraordinary Machine

OK, I've been on a roll. I've been making jewelry pieces for a while now here and there, but last night I put the coffee pot to boil and made about 6 pieces.

So with out further ado here are the pics.

I have an excuse.

Ok someone please put a fire under my butt, because I need to post.

I have an excuse, I had major surgery back in September and I couldn't sit at the computer long enough to type any posts. Really I shouldn't now either, but I'll be paying for it later.

Anyways I made some jewelry, painted some painting, and sewed some flowers. The DIYs will come soon after.

This flower is in watercolors


How do I describe this one?


I have more pics coming or whatever♥

My Room Redo.

I've been saying for 3 years now that I would redo my bedroom. I've been in and out of this room for over 10 years and it needed some TLC asap. The walls were a sickness/depression inducing yellowing off-white. The trim was a sad peeling dirty white. I'm forgetting to mention the 20 holes from different window curtain set ups (not me, I never had curtains.) I hated being in the room, and mostly I didn't care about it until I realized I'm gonna be here for another 10 years. Something had to be done.

If anyone knows how hard it is to prep a room, I think it is just as hard to pick a paint color for a room. It took years, I started out with colors in the aqua blue family, I had paint chips all over my room for 2 years. Then somehow I saw a room that was grey with deep purple accents and I knew I had to recreate the colors. Now Grey is a color that I thought was going to be easy, NOT! You can see in some of the before's that I had already painted swatches on the wall, well those were there since November. And once I decided on a paint I went to Home Depot to get the paint and much to my demise after going back and forth to the Dopey (4 times) they didn't have the color in a non-primer mix, so I had to choose another color and bring it home to test it. The final color I choose was Home Depot's Behr's Sterling 780E-3 I had to pre-prime the wall because the high gloss that was my wall paint and because the true color of the new paint would show better.
I'm not even going to go into the actual prep and painting process, that I will put in another post as the behind the scenes of my room redo. So without further ado, here it is:

Before:

After:

Now granted I want to do a whole lot more. I never got to finish the floors or replace the shoe molding. I also need to get a book shelf thingy for my books. I need to recover some storage boxes to make them all uniform. I need a frame for the the painting my mom did thats over the bed. I also need to take out the green dresser that is holding my TV and get some kind of shelving for that. So much work. So little time. Whatever ♥

Record High

OK, I know you are thinking, what does a record high have to do with a blog post? Nothing really, but it did hit a record high of 92 degrees here in New York City. MY question is, is summer right around the corner and the last few days were only a tease? And no I don't think it is global warming, because you'd have to go back to the 1920's for the last record highs for these days. Ponder that.
Anyways what have I been up to you ask? I know it has been a while since my last post but really I have been a busy bee.

Well I went to see West Side Story on Broadway (3). It was a last minute idea on my friend's part, he is like that sometimes and it works out half the time. It is a good play and I recomend it to all. Do you see the black Chinese shoes (2)? Well my friend saw something on Etsy using those shoes that she wants me to recreate. I bought a pair for myself but I have different plans for those. Speaking of my friend, almost since the beginning of our friendship she has been a vegetarian, now as of the middle of last month she has been on her way to becoming a vegan. She is not doing it for diets sake, but for the animals. She has strong feelings about animal welfare and cares not to consume animal products. That's where the purple sneakers come in (4). The are vegan sneakers, from a vegan shoe store on the lower east side that the name is not coming to my mind at this moment, I'll get back to you on that aren't they cute and only $55. That same day I managed to spend way to much money on clothes and I had to get rid of other clothes to make space for the new ones. Oh and just the other day while shopping yes more shopping for shorts at Old Navy, I got these stockings (1) for 25 cents each. I love Peacock feathers I have them on everything I think I am going to cut them up and make a cover for my office chair.


Going back to those shoes my friend wants me to copy, is it OK to do so. I mean there is jewelery pieces by some designers that are similar to mine that are on there but I never saw their work nor have the designers seen mine. I don't know what to think, I just had to ask. Whatever ♥
