Fashion Victim

Everyone knows not to make these fashion mistakes…but everyday someone does. Your next challenge is to design an outfit that is based around a fashion faux pas that I will assign to you. These things rarely work on people, and it’s your job to make them work.

I was assigned “a humongous weekend bag” and I got Willemina as my model again. So I designed a huge striped canvas weekend bag with leather trimmings.. big enough to fold and stuff Willemina in.

The story is this: Willemina is going to spend the weekend with some friends at a beach resort. This is what she’ll be wearing while travelling to the resort.

A drop sleeved , very loose, silk knit jersey top knotted at the back. The red bikini top worn underneath has hooked straps that can be attached to the back of the blue top to hold the loose top in place. There are places along the edges and inside that blue top that you can attach the bikini top’s hooks to. Then she’s wearing charcoal stretch drainpipes with cutout details. The cutouts are the same stretch demin fabric that the drainpipes are made of turned inside out.. that’s why they’re darker. The look is finished with gold bangles and bracelets, long necklace with yellow stones, gold-strapped wedge sandals and two-toned sunglasses.

Her hair is blown out for volume in the style of the big wind-blown beach hair associated with glamorous Italian women walking down the streets of places like the French Riviera and St. Tropez.

The design:

New reality show to premier tonight: On the Lot, Star Movies 9-10pm. Should be fun to watch. If the show will air for only an hour at most each episode, I wonder how long the movies made by the contestants will be- or if there will be movie clips to be made.

Speaking of new shows, I wonder when the Gossip Girl TV series will be aired here. Here’s a little preview:

Coming and Going

People keep coming and going. It’s sad when they go, I prefer the coming part anytime. Father Monj held mass at home earlier this night for my aunt and lil cousin’s safe flight to San Diego. And we ate out afterwards. I really am going to miss Joaquin. He’s so cute and sweet and expressive of his love. He’s a great kid. I’m sure the next time I meet him, he will be different and might not even remember me anymore. Even Lolo Peping’s gone to Canada.. but he’ll be back at least. I can’t wait for sembreak. When it’ll be my turn to go. I hate how school ties me down. But I love what I’m doing so it’s all worth it. Why is formal education so necessary anyway? It’s not like I can’t learn all these things without it. But it’s still a must.

I bought some supplies from Beauty Bar and passed by the only decent bookstore here in Cebu City- National freaking Bookstore. I bought the second Gossip Girl instead of the third book from The Wheel of Time, which by the way is an incredibly incredibly good series. It’s better than LOTR, Harry Potter and David Eddings books combined. Yes combined. It’s just incredible. Robert Jordan’s characters and settings are so alive, unique and believable. My sister has actually all the books so I shouldn’t buy it but she’s in Manila so how can I read the third book. Anyway, it wasn’t available anymore. Out Of Stock. Probably one of the most horrible 3-word phrases ever. I just had to settle with this no-brainer book for now. Lol.

The moon is so big and round. I couldn’t take a decent picture of it. None of the images do it justice. I’ve a headache.

So True..

Took this quiz on gossipgirl.net and came up with this:
