A Super Fly DIY!

Instead of wasting away in front of the telly today (like I have been all weekend!), I decided to get something done. I worked on playlists for my Christmas gifts, which happen to be CD's, but I then found myself gravitating towards the television. After all, there was a Super Sweet Sixteen marathon on MTV (what a trash tv loving suburbanite I am). So when I finally got up off of the couch, I decided to reinvent a pair of jeans I hardly ever wear.
I began by making this lovely drawing:



I ended up just changing the pockets, because the embroidery was too hard.

Here is how they turned out. I really do enjoy them! They remind me of the ripped jeans all the way up the leg, but because of stupid school LAWS, I am not allowed to have anything ripped above the knee *sniffle*.
The pockets, up close and personal!To create the pockets:
1. Chalk out the peace design you would like to make.

2. Cut as directed on below:Click to enlarge.

3. Lastly, you must sew up the flap that is falling down, and your jeans are as good as new!Oh, Stylebytes is back up, and though Agathe is not posting, I hope she will soon!

Amazing!

Ugh....I have been sick for the past few days, which sucks. Thankfully I had time to blog for once though. I think that I might be able to go back to daily posts VERRRY soon, which makes me happy.
Anyway, I put together a list of crap that I have been wanting, obsessing over, or dancing to these past weeks.

1. Boots:
I have been obsessively looking up pairs of boots that are either suede or have fringe.






These are from Cutseygirl.com. This pair has a kitten heel and bows. They come in three colors; tan, brown, and black. They cost $25.99.



This pair is from amazon.com (brand is Sodapop, I think!) $21.99 - I adore them to no end! MUST. BUY. NOW!





These fringed lovelies are also from cutseygirl.com. $24.99

2. New hairstyles

This is Jenny Lewis. And this is how I want my hair to be. Currently my hair is shoulder length and rather curly, and I wear it side-parted. Tonight at my haircut, though, and I am getting bangs like this and just a trim otherwise so I can let my hair grow out. I am SOOO excited!




And this is what I would wear in it. Very boho chic, from gojane.com for the ridiculous price of $11.99!

3. 80's Band T-shirts:

My favs are Adam and the Ants and the Ramones. Maybe the Psychedelic Furs too.

(all are from ebay.com!)


Oh, and this is random, but necessary. Whoever wouldn't want Jim Sturgess's face on their shirt is absolutely crazy. XDD


Oh! I went to and Obama rally pre-sickness....IT WAS FLIPPIN' SWEET! I was soo excited to see like a ton of people supporting him, because my immediate area is like this total Mccain lovefest. But who could really love this guy?:
