When I get stressed, I sew. Some people clean, some exercise, but for me, sewing calms me down. With finals approaching, I’ve been sewing a lot. My latest project was this white tunic made from $3 pinstriped fabric. Since I’m still a novice, I like to make tunics because they have no zippers and achieving a good fit isn’t necessary. Plus, tunics are pretty versatile and can be worn with jeans, leggings, or tights.
My favorite online store is without a doubt Fred Flare, a quirky website with some of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. It’s not very expensive, most items don’t run over $50. Fred Flare sells almost everything from sunglasses to Star Wars trivia books, so it satisfies everyone! FF also likes to keep in touch with their customers by writing daily in their blog (I was once lucky enough to be able to write a post for them!) If you’re ever in the New York area, you can visit their new store in Brooklyn (I’ve been dying to go!)
Here are some of my favorite things from Fred Flare:
Purple Haze Smocked Dress
I had an amazing 20 hours in NYC this weekend and while the boys moved my brother’s heavy boxes, I went off to do some exploring. The city really is the fashion capital of the country, if not the world. Even the tourists are fab.
So I’ve got this thing for headbands, that thing being that I adore them. I recently received a new headband from Funny People Co., and I LOVE it!
My new headband!
This headband, called the Gossip Blue Dream Headband, is my new favorite! I get tons of compliments when I where it from friends and strangers alike, as it definitely grabs their attention. While this headband is totally gorgeous, there are some equally pretty ones on Funny People’s website.
