You can't find it? Make it!

One of the things I really enojoy is making things.
I prefer a cute self-done accessories than a bought ones. That doesn't mean I don't love shopping for accessories XD thing that I love too, but things you made yourself have that special feeling, that something that makes them nicer. Plus, you are the one who chooses everything, from the design, to the colors, etc, so it surely is perfect when done.

Obviously not everything cames out nice and well done the first or second time, perfection needs practice, but for me, it's worth it, even if in the process you get a bit depressed.

So, over the years, reading magazines, browsing the web and reading blogs, I've ended piling up a lot of DIY tutorials, from reciclyng clothes to making pouches and a lot of random things.

And I'll share now some of my favorites. This first post of DIY series is a collectin of tutorials done by bloggers and about clothing or accsessories, so lots of links ahead!

Doe Deere's Pearl Sunglasses a-la Sonia Rykiel

I'm really in love with this idea. And it's so simple!

Violet le beaux's usamimi.

It's super cute and easy to do (at least she makes it look like it!).

And she also has a lot of other tutorials, hair, slippers, sorting out your nail polish, deco, ...

I find this necklace amusingly easy to do!
From here. The site's full of great ideas!

One project i'm definetely doing is this knitted sailor collar by Noncsika.

There are no instructions in this post, but it's a pretty easy project to figure out, and a really original idea full of possibilities!

From Plush you. Click on the pic for the link.

Bloomers from Colette patterns.
No words needed!

Love skirts+love people teaching me to sew=

Twenty minute skirt.

Skirt with pockets and elastic waist.

And last but not least, this super awesome denim jacket.

I don't really like denim in general, but she turned this jacket into such a cool vest! I'd love to try it.

So, what are your fav DIYs? Anything interesting to share? Do you like to do things by yourself or you are among all that kind people who like to buy what others make?

Coordinate catch up

I've been away this past few days, that means, no updates! Sorry!
Laura came to Barcelona with her school last week and so I had to meet up with her! x3
Been sleeping since she left yesterday (wow, sleeping for 14 hours nonstop! that's a first for me XD and I don't know what to think about that), so I'm posting a little bit something now.

So, outfit post!

That's it, picnic day. Yesterday with Laura to say goodbye ;A;
She was going back to Finland today at 4 am @_@


My cousin (3yo) was having a sing-thing with the school, so I went with my aunt to see him.


I don't remember where I went dressed like this...

Friday night was party time, we went to Razzmatazz and lost my camera ;A; I'm so dumb!
But I made a hair-bow with my own hair <3 that was nice.
Also, used some broken tights and made some new holes to it hahah

Magazines. 2nd edition

I've got tons of topics and ideas for posts lately, but I just downloaded these two mags *ahem* and so I felt the urge to post about them!

First one talks about Mori interior design!
And second one is about dolls, with super pretty blythe on the cover, so enjoy the cuteness!
(you can download the whole magazine throught the link on the title)

Mori interior and lifestyle book. Mori girl room
Not summer styling yet, but not too far!

Lace, wood, lots of books, crafting materials here and there, the obliged camera, green (plants), glass. Obviously since one's own room is the extension of your own self, like choosing your style is too, an interior book was a must. And this one is pretty nice.

Two of my fav shots. I'm definetely cleaning my cork board and putting there all my necklaces and shu-shus!

This mag features the ABC of the mori girl, kind of, so it shows quite a lot of mori-ish objects, motifs and ideas.
I love how they talk about general stuff (like lace, keys, fur,...) and in-between they talk about Q-pot specifically. So Q-pot is to Mori what, for example, Lip Service could be to Gal? Nice.

Mori also loves hand-made, so lots of that too.

With lots of shops where you can go (in Japan ahaha) get your mori needs.

I've already written about Made in Colkinikha once, but super lightly, so I'll be doing a more in-deph post about it soon.

Dolly doll

They talk about all kinds of dolls (well, not ALL, but all that are trendy like blythes, pullips and dolfies for example, even some barbies (but bleh).

Also has some snaps of rements and animal-like dollies. It's a great source of inspiration x3

I've seen the frog-doll a few times in pupe, and people really do cute things with them! I wouldn' mind getting one!

The mag features some tutorials too (patterns for clothes, making doll furniture, even one for sewing a bear!), which is one of the things I love the most in a magazine of any kind!

So, what are your fav magazines? Do you like to read them online or you prefer the paper thing?
