(Truly) Daily Style + Cosplay Progress!

Hey y'all! It sure has been a while since I last blogged :P I can't even say I've been very busy, just a little bit lazy! Haha. I guess you can say I've been a little busy getting ready for proms, since I am a senior this year! And I was asked to two proms in addition to my own school's, so it's been a little stressful trying to prepare for all of those as well as Anime North! I had my first prom last weekend, but my camera's battery wasn't charged so I didn't take any pictures myself ; ^ ;. Thankfully, other people did! I'll post a few pics at the end of this post for those who are interested :3

Anyways, usually when I do a Daily Style post, it's more like a staged daily style than what I truly wear on a day-to-day basis. Meaning that it's usually an outfit for a special occasion or something. But recently I've been trying to take more pictures of my actual daily style to show on my blog, since this is definitely becoming more of a personal blog :P

Anyways, I have two outfits today to show you! (P.S. I am trying out new locations in my room to take outfit pictures, so bear with me! xD)

Necklace: inherited

Top: F21

Skirt: F21

Scarf: F21

Top: Urban Planet

Shorts: F21

Both of these outfits were quite simple in essence, but I really like them! The first one I wore for dinner yesterday (Mother's day!), and the second one I wore to run errands after school today. These are truly outfits that I wear every day :P I was really happy with the second one :D I quite like it, and those are the first pair of high waisted shorts that didn't make me look like an old man, which is AWESOME.

I'm going to try and remember to take pictures of my outfits everyday now, or at least a few times a week so I can do more posts like this! What do you guys think?

And now on to cosplay news! Anime North is approaching VERY quickly (almost too quickly), and I've just started working on my costumes. Yeah. Go me. King of the slackers. Anyways, I finished my Matryoshka Gumi sweater the other day, which if you follow me on Tumblr or my FB fan page you would have seen already! Here are a couple pics in case you don't.

Yay for being cheesy! Anyways, that's done, and pretty much the only other thing I need for this cosplay are striped stockings, which I can buy easily. This was 90% closet cosplay for me, considering all I had to do was stitch the details on the hood! :P But at least it's done now!

Melty however, I have barely even started =_______=;; I've cut some patterns and I've got all my fabric and what not, I just need to start sewing like a mad man now!! And I still need more lace and some notions for the accessory bits. I am super pleased to know that the anime version of Melty does NOT have the ribbon wraps on her gloves or stockings, so I will most likely be omitting those details for now. I'll probably add them after Anime North though, because I want to try and go to FX or some other summer con this year, and I'll probably just re-wear Melty if I do!

I got my contact lenses in the mail today as well, JUST in time! :D I'll probably do a review of them soon, I need to buy new contact solution though :P

And as promised, here are a couple photos from the first prom I went to! Anyways, I'm going to try some fun nail art now, so until next time! :D

Art & Daily Style!

Hey y'all! So today I wanted to post about whats been preoccupying the vast majority of my time lately! I alluded to it being a photography project, and a photography project it is! But its also a combination between photography and sculpture! So here's what I've been working on!

Yes, its a photosculpture of my Jeffery Campbell Litas! This was my photography project for my media class this year, and I am quite happy with my result! It got lots of good comments from the viewers in the gallery, which was really nice for me! 

Basically what I did was carve and shape a model of my shoe on a 1.5:1 scale (approx. 18"x18"x6") out of pink foam, and then take hundreds of macro photos of my shoe and all the details of it and then collaged them onto the model, attaching the photos with Dressmakers pins. 

It took approximately 3.5 weeks to carve and shape the model, and then another week or so to photograph and attach all of the pictures to the model, so it took me a total of just over a month to complete! I am very satisfied with my work, although there are still some touch up to be made.

As well, I wore this outfit to go to the Closing Show at the gallery!

Jacket: Danier (given to me by mum)

Scarf: ???

Necklace: F21

Dress: Spoof!

Leggings: Urban Behaviour

Shoes: Jeffery Campbell

Bag: Aldo

It was a somewhat simple outfit since I only had about 15 minutes to throw something together after a fitting for a modelling gig I got, but I quite liked my result! It felt artsy enough to be an artist at a gala, but fancy enough to go out for dinner afterwards! And of course, I had to wear my Litas to show off my Lita sculpture :P Anyways, here's a couple of other photos from the night.

Explaining a friend's piece to a onlooker.

Went out for dinner with my friend afterwards. That loaf of bread was as big as her head!

Anyways, now that its getting nicer out, I feel more inclined to really try with my outfits! So I'm definitely going to try and post more outfit shots more often! I also want to do a Spring gets post as well, so hopefully that will be coming soon! In the mean time, look at these pretty tulips from the park near my house!

Anyways, I must go to bed now! Until next time!

Happy Easter!

Hey y'all! Just wanted to drop by and wish all those celebrating a Happy Easter! :D I took this opportunity to camwhore in a cute somewhat Easter-themed outfit, but most of the pictures turned out crappy ; ^ ; So I just have a couple of photos to share today!

Not really Easter-themed, but I had the ears anyways :P So I figured, why not! But I did get that dress recently and I'm super in love with it :D It has a super cute cutout in the back too! Unfortunately you can't see it, but I might do a Spring GETS post soon and I'll show it off then!

Also, I'm going to try harder to take more pictures of my outfits daily, since I do wear some pretty cute stuff some times :3 So let's hope this works out!

And I finally cut the bangs into my silver Melty wig this weekend :3 I'm super happy with the results! I was super nervous as I didn't want to mess it up and then have to order another wig :| Now I just need to trim up my Gumi wig!

Anyways, I do have something else I want to blog about soon, but I've yet to take any pictures of it! So hopefully sometime this week!

Until next time! :D

Major Hair Change! :O

Hey guys! So I'm sorry I've been a terrible blogger lately :( As some of you may or may not know, I was participating in my schools production of Phantom of the Opera (which was an incredible success, as we completely sold out all 17 of our shows!), and then the week after we finished I spent everyday catching up on all of the school work I missed, which included 6 chemistry and biology classes =____=;;. But I'm coming to the end of my spring break now, and I'm quite well rested and ready to talk about a big change thats happened to me recently!

If you follow me on tumblr or are a fan of my FB page, you will have seen this already but...

I dyed my hair.







TEAL.

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I am absolutely in love with it :D I think it was an awesome choice, although I may be regretting it in a month or so, but I honestly don't even care. I've had to deal with so many people staring, but I expected that and I'm kind of used to it already, haha. Only downside is that I can only wash my hair with cold water now :( BLAH.

I haven't really had anything important to blog about lately because I've been so busy, but hopefully things will pick up now that I'm less occupied! Cosplay posts will definitely become more frequent as I (finally) start working on my cosplays for Anime North! :D

Anyways, I've had a long day of road trippin' around, so I'm gonna hit the hay! Hopefully another post soon :3

Until next time!

Daily Style: Florals! (+ some gets)

Hey y'all! So today was my first day off form rehearsal in a very long while, and I've been taking great advantage of it by sleeping a relaxing all day! I also did a little bit of shopping this afternoon as well, and I'll show you a couple of my gets in a bit! But first I want to show an outfit I wore for a friend's birthday dinner a little while ago.
