DIY Galaxy leggings and ombre shirt

Hiiyaah! It's been quite awhile since I blogged. Been really busy. Anyway, I wanted to share something.

Once upon a time, I was bored, so I made these. The end. haha Kidding. But no really, I was bored that time and was not in the mood to do the things that I really had to. Procrastinating, I decided to make myself some DIY stuff.

Galaxy leggings:
I took an old pair of leggings (should be dark-colored), bleach, blue and yellow dyes, gloves and a spray bottle (should be bottles for each of the liquid materials but we only had one).

First, line your floor with old newspapers to prevent having a lot of mess. Don gloves. Then I put some bleach into the container and started spraying it on the leggings. Remember, we wanna create a galaxy-like image so concentrate your sprays on some areas that you would have some circular patterns. These will be your nebulas. Next, open your spray bottle with bleach and using the stem of the spray, splatter some bleach randomly. These will serve as your stars. Lastly, spray the blue dye around the outer part, and the yellow dye at the center of each nebula. Voila! You now have your own galaxy leggings. Just remember to be as imaginative and creative as you can be. :)

Ombre top:
Grabbed an unused loose red shirt, turned it inside out bec of the print, cut the sleeves, the collar line and the edge of the lower part out. Soaked the upper part into a deep blue dye for a night. Washed it out the next day. Sewed to fit the upper part coz it kinda showed my upper undergarment. Ta-daaaah!

Coincidentally, our University General Assembly was themed "GAlaxy" so I wore it then. What DIYs have you made recently?:D Do share!:)

PS= sorry for the low quality photos :(

Bunnie day

"I hereby declare today as Bunnie Day," said Me. :)) It was the 3rd of July then (super late post, I know!). Had a date with Bunnie and family (minus Mum). We were supposed to watch The Amazing Spiderman but we went there at a wrong time, and my brother's girlfriend had to go home early. We just ate and shopped instead (oh the happiness when daddy's around with his card!:))))). La-di-da.

Bunnie and I, well, we didn't prepare anything special. There's a story to that. n__n Oh well.

This is what I wore on that Bunnie Day.

Wore a red Zara Sleeveless top, with my old pair of Next Jeans black shorts. Since we were supposed to go to the movie house, I wore that off white blazer. Paired the out fit with bunny accessories (bag, earrings, necklace). I wish I had a bunny bracelet too!:D

Since I cannot put 4 pictures in Lookbook, I edited the photo (from Instagram) and cropped off the close up on the bag. Don't hesitate to hype up!:D xxoo

Downplay

This time around, I had to "downplay" my outfit. We were scheduled for a retreat, and knowing one of the facilitators, I went for a simple everyday look. But the facilitator still caught my attention bec the back portion showed some skin. whoooopsie. Sorry.

Those mustard yellow Primma Donna flats are just adorable! They were the replacement flats my father bought me. Remember Lemon Toes Woes? (http://jonnienavarro.blogspot.com/2012/06/lemon-toes-woes.html) that embarrassing moment. hihi Anyhooo, since I wore them for the first time then, my ankles were a little sore bec of the friction from the shoes. But those flats just finished the laid back look I was aiming for.Worth the pain --,

Nineteen--

I came up with this blog mainly to express my love for fashion but it's been awhile since I've posted outfit shots. So I took time to compile the recent photos I got. Forgive my vanity. errm wait, aren't all fashion bloggers vain? I mean we take pictures of ourselves A LOT in order to call ourselves that right? unless we want to post about other people's fashion? hmmm. Anyway, regardless,first up: Nineteen--
I named it as such to convey the theme of a classic look, 19__, then insert the specific year you would want it to be in. Like 1980s, or 90s. or whatever. :)) and that's my age number too! --, Alright, I was bored so go figure. :D

This look I came up with when I was again invited to be a godmother. Unfortunately, I had assessment duty at the exact same time of the Christening. I didn't want to say no so I went to the hospital and brought with me my outfit. I also didn't want to bring bulky stuff so I decided to a one-piece get up. My cousin gave this to me a few weeks ago and it was the perfect fit for the event.

BAKED

Quite numerous cakes I made for the past two months. I enjoy baking a lot since I was in elementary. It's one of my mood lifting activities, especially when I am angry. I just bolt out the negativities that I feel in every mixing and beating and all those stuff. It's weird but I bake better when I'm upset. My goodies are much yummier. hahaha i feel myself so much. :)) Anyway, as easy baking is for me, it's quite the opposite when it comes to decorating them. I am not really artistic in nature and thus my puny learned-artistic-abilities still need to be honed. (FUN FACT: I took art classes in grade school and thought I was getting good, until my first drawing was used as a paper napkin by my cousin. He was eating doughnuts and he thought that it was just a plain paper bec my drawing was faced down. I got so frustrated and discouraged that I never bothered to draw again. Until recently. and now I'm struggling. n__n)

Cake 1 & 2:
Occasion: Nephew Xyler's 1st birthday

These are actually not cakes but a collection of cupcakes.
Wilton has these differently shaped cupcake holders which you can arrange to whatever design you want.



Green Bunnie! haha

Cake 3 & cupcakes: Strawberry cake and monster cupcakes
Occasion: Mom's arrival from Singapore/Malaysia



I didn't actually decorate this, Bunnie did.

These we collaborated with. They're weird monster cupcakes. o_o

Cake 4: ACN logo
Occasion: 3rd anniversary of our Quirino branch store

My cousin Razel helped me with the logo. Apparently, we're no experts :)) 

Cake 5: Choco Mallows cake
Occasion: Father's Day




Brother and I stayed up really late for this! Kudos to the succesful surprise :D

Cake 6: Hulk cake
Occasion: Xander's 1st birthday

I'm no good in cake decorating, I just actualize whatever's in my head. I sometimes look at cake photos in the net for inspiration but I never get to really copy them bec I never had any training, sessions, classes, or whatnot. I do wanted to take sessions since before but I always haven't had the time to do so. So let's just have our cake and eat it too, hmm? ;)

xxoo

Walking dead woman

No, this is not a ghost story, or anything relevant to that. I just feel like a zombie-- having very little sleep with very many things to do. These past 2 weeks, I was dead down with sinusitis, sore throat, cough and colds. To top it off, I had a scheduled practical exam, a gown, cake and a video to finish making, and duty was on its way.

But thank you, Almighty Father, for staying with me through all this. My practical exam went reaaallly well, despite me not being able to study that much. Thank you, thank you, ECG (and chiikang!haha) for being my lucky switch. :))

What kept me buzzing next was this:

A customer from Iligan City was celebrating her debut this week, I am so happy that she trusted me as her designer. Her gown was enormously bouffant, and it was my first time to actually put to rise a design like that. In the process of making it, I have learned and discovered so much more about voluminous gowns. Thank you, Riza.

Since we wanted to see the gown on a real person and mother fits in it, we made her wear it :)) With Puppy!:D

the back portion :)

Mummie goofin around :))

I feel such a lazy ass these days (maybe it's one of the s/sx of my illness). I don't wanna finish the video that I'm supposed to make, and instead of making my requirements, I went to the mall to chill. Well, my bunnie and I did have to go there and buy a Thor costume for Xander's upcoming birthday. Then we decided to buy our own matching Thor Tees too! Haha I am not much of a wearer of shirts but hey, anything for my godchild. The Hulk cake, I will have to include in another post. His birthday party theme was the Avengers. :))

Will post picutres of us wearing this!:*

And oh, kill me for being such an impulsive shopper. We passed by Accessorize, and that big "Buy one, get one" tarp just dragged my feet inside their shop. I just couldn't resist this swimsuit. And for only $30 for both, instead of getting the bandeau for $30 and $26 for the bikini. I know it's not summer here any longer, but hey, who says we can beach out during summers only?:D I just had to had it. 8)

It's not highwaisted, like the one that I wanted from Nudo, but the I was mainly after the nautical theme anyway.

How are you holding up these days?:)


UPDATE:

I kneeew that I had to get the suits from Accessorize! It came very handy during the celebration of the feast of San Juan. (Am I right?:)) IDK much about feasts). See mommy, I didn't buy those for nothing! haha

Celebrated San Juan @ Marco Hotel with cousins (funny how we just met there without having plans to!),
bunnie, mother and brother. OHANA <3
