Sweet tooth

Happy Sunday!

It's been pretty lazy around here, my only plans for the day are reading and knitting. I spent a little time throwing together a polyvore set just for fun though. All inspired by my sweet tooth and urge to wear a comfy dress today, sadly it's a little too cold for that.

Happy Sunday

First off I'd like to point out the new banner I just finished. I liked the old banner but it felt a little awkward and a little grainy. I knew I could do better! I went to ployvore.com (oh my gosh, I've got a serious obsession!) and started searching things I like or that inspire me and adding layers. The new banner makes me smile a lot, I feel as if it really expresses a lot of different aspects of me.



Yarn, thread, sewing machine, teacup, nail polish, Alice in Wonderland, the TARDIS; these are all things that make my heart happy! I also changed the layout so it's more streamlined and the banner is more centered. I'm trying to decide if I want a background of some sort on the sides or if I want to keep it simple and white. I guess blogs constantly evolve.

Now on to some serious inspiration! This week I've been saving Alice in Wonderland themed items to share and here they all are:


Lots and lots of ruffles and lace! I'd love to make this...maybe it should be my summer project?

This is a still from Bright Star, a gorgeous movie about a seamstress and a poet. Tons of eye candy.

I can imagine Alice getting married in this!


The costume designer for the latest movie was AMAZING! I haven't even begun looking at all the beautiful inspiring outfits.


More ruffles and lace! This one is a little more wearable and I HAVE to make this one! I think I'll find pretty white lace at a reasonable price and play around with dyeing it myself.

I love this whole photoshoot!

And the first polyvore I made, all things inspired by Alice mashed into one!

Adventures with Polyvore and Amy Pond

Sorry about yesterday, I've got back to back to back classes from 1 till 9 and all time spent not in class was spent studying for a german quiz! I DO have pictures and they'll be up in a bit but for now I thought I'd share something I've been messing around with recently. Polyvore.com lets you create your own looks and designs with anything from the internet or anything someone has uploaded to the site. It's alot of fun and I've been procrastinating with it a bit too much.

This one I made after seeing a picture of Karen Gillian, the new Doctor Who companion on her visit to NYC. I just thought the look was cute and laid back and wanted to try putting together something similar.
