I'll end this post with a song Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift. Enjoy

LOVE SONG

Here's a thought that I would like to share with you my dearest readers, 'As much as you want to plan your life, it has a way of surprising you with unexpected things that will make you happier than you originally planned. That's what you call, GOD'S WILL.' So don't get too harsh on yourself or somebody else ruining your plans, 'coz every actions, words you'd spoken and everything around you it's God's will. Just trust Him and stay strong, 'coz we all know God loves us so much that He can't even give us a problem that we couldn't handle. Right? Amen. 

Well for my outfit, I decided to go for an edgy one (wait, it has nothing to do with the thought of the day, ok? I don't want to mislead you anyway.). 
Wore this ensembles last Saturday, my sister Ellaine and I went out to have some drinks and chit chats. :) I decided to wear this mullet skirt 'coz it was perfect for the said mini occasion and I believe mullet skirt can really carry you all the way, and pair it with denim top (my own DIY project, how did I do it? CLICK HERE). Then to satisfy my edgy look, I chose to wear this booties from TLTSN. A no-brainer instant edgy look!

Because the top is too big for me, I top it off with this stretchable slim belt from Soul Lifestyle.

And go for a minimal accessory to look casual too.

DIY: TOTE BAG

It's already 3:30am, still I can't sleep so I decided to check out my closet and found this loose sleeveless top and started to think where would I wear this? Without a doubt, I just get my scissors and do some major make over. haha A tank top or loose sleeveless makes a wonderful tote bag. Here is my own version of 'Tote Bag'.

 Materials: 

1. tank top / loose sleeveless

2. thread and needle

3. scissors

4. tape measure (optional)

STEP 1: Cut off the sleeves right at the seams.

STEP 2: Cut along the neckline. You can use a plate over the collar of the shirt then cut along the line you trace. 

STEP 3: Turn the shirt inside out, and begin stitching the lower portion of the top.

And voila! you're done! Your own DIY TOTE BAG. Why don't you try it? It's fun! Perfect for groceries, carry some books, overnight and so on. A useless top turn into a very useful bag!

You can also customize it and do some painting. As for my tote bag, I just used the excess cloth and ribbon it around the sleeves.

A YEAR WITHOUT RAIN

( Terranova dress  |||  DIY maong vest  |||  Soul shoes  |||  MyChiQ/Frida accessories  |||  CDO find bag )

Horay it's Sunday, a day with Kevin and of course, God (I mean everyday! haha). Anyway, I decided to wear something boho and here's what I got. An aztec print dress from Terranova that really looks great. Especially the color combination, yellow-orange-brown. Then I decided to do the aztec on aztec, hence the aztec printed bag, got it from my 3 days trip to CDO. Since I'm going to church, I decided to wear this maong vest for the first time my DIY project just to cover some skin. hehe This gladiator sandals that I bought from Soul, well I must say it made my outfit look totally boho chic, right? What do you think?

You might wonder with the title, A Year Without Rain by Selena Gomez and The Scene. I've been hearing this song a thousand times but never ever able to see the music video. So tonight I finally got the chance to YouTube it. Anyway, have you seen it? I bet you already did (but if you haven't here's a video for you to watch), don't you love her pretty face and of course, the GOWN/DRESS- I think it was the highlight of the video. Credits to the designer, it was incredible and  I really want one (hoping to wear this kind of dress someday, but where and when? LOL)! 

How's your Sunday? ~sandra
