Hooded

It may seem as if I’m lazy, it may seem as if I’m not dedicated enough. But it’s wrong. I know this is only my first post this July, but I’ve been busy and tired so I’d like to apologize for not posting as frequently as I’d wish.

Midsummer Cupcakes

This year I’m not celebrating the arrival of midsummer, not drinking, not partying. I guess I just don’t feel the need to. Finally I have a post where all of the clothes are made by myself. I found this lovely cupcake print fabric (which is not something I would usually like) a while ago & made this super cute sweater for Laura. She loves it and so do I. I know it’s not something I would typically make, but I think it’s great stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new.

Cut it out

I can’t believe it’s the middle of June! This year June has brought me lots of changes. I am now (and for now) blogging from The Netherlands. I made this t-shirt back in Riga and now is the perfect weather to wear it. I wanted to make a skull cut out, because all of them I’ve seen are a little exaggerated and quite ugly actually, so I tried making something more realistic. The black fabric is sewed underneath and I’m planning to experiment with this technique further - with different colors and fabrics. I’ll definitely try something with fake leather (which I love, as I’ve mentioned many times before).

Double Leather

I haven’t done outfit posts yet, but I can already say that it’s a lot of fun. I wanted to show the sweater that I made just yesterday. I’ve talked a lot about how much I love leather, so I finally made something nice for myself - Grey sweater with leather sleeves. (I’ve mentioned I prefer fake leather, cause I care for animals, recently I’ve decided to stop eating meat as well & guess what - I’ve never felt better)

Fast Fashion

The term ‘fast fashion’ is used for describing the business side of fashion of how trends are captured from the catwalk and produced in the shortest possible amount of time. However, that is not what I want to talk about just yet.

I've got questions: Interview with Liba Skuja

Lately it’s a lot about first times for me, last time it was the first G&M photoshoot, this time it’s the first interview for my blog. I interviewed Lība Skuja, a girl who definitely stands out in the crowd and is an upcoming designer.

'F' for First

This is the first of hopefully many photoshoots I’m doing for this blog. This time I wanted to show off the maxi skirt that I made. First of all, I’m no pro tailor, I just try to make things that I like and experiment a lot to see how far can I go with it. For now it’s a hobby that I hope to turn into work one day. So I’ve decided to share some of my designs and I’ll start with this beautiful skirt that I made for my friend recently. She absolutely loves them and is rocking it in this shoot.
