My Youtube Videos for September to November

So just to update my blog a bit on my activities on my channel, I will share some of my recent video uploads from last September up to the month of November. You might think it's going to be a lot of videos, But no, I didn't have too much activity on my channel as well. But here are my videos. Enjoy!

The first on is my September haul, I got a good quantity of to show in this video. Mostly beauty stuff. My makeup collection has really grown since the first makeup video I made on my channel. Almost every month I get to buy and receive new beauty stuff to add to my collection and I am really very happy about it.

Since the fall makeup trend is really popular these days, I decided to do a makeup look for it. I know I don't have all the resources for it yet, like the dark plum lip color or deep dark red, but Since I got a new Clinique lipstick from my mom and it is a brown one, I just mixed it with my pink flame and love that red lipstick from ever bilena and I think it worked well.

Now, this DIY video excites me. Because I have been wanting to do this DIY in a long time now. Finally, I did it and it turned out so nice. I already used it to the mall twice and I really like how it looked on my feet and I love how easy it is to make.

Yet another haul, this is for the month of October and November. I actually forgot to make an October haul video so I just merged both months together and this turned out to be a huge haul. The biggest haul I have ever had. Well, it was fun and I love all the stuff that I got. Most of it are from my mom, like 98.9%. I didn't even include my thrift store finds and the clothes I got from my mom as well. But I will include those in a different video.

Well, I think that is all for today's blog post. I hope you can watch all the videos I shared and like it. It would really mean the world if you could share it too. I need more views for my videos. hehe heh

hugs and kissy

DIY: Old Lady Dress to Cute Sun Dress

I love thrifting and I love reconstructing and/or refashioning something. I saw a dress in the mall and I instantly fell in love with it when I tried it on. I really wanted to get the dress, But unfortunately I already bought a lot of stuff and I might hurt the hubby's pocket if I buy another one. 

And then..... I saw this old lady dress on a local Thrift Shop and I thought I could make it into the dress I want. Just like the one I saw in the mall. So I immediately got the dress and went back home and searched for a pattern on google and pinterest. But, I didn't find one. :( 

So, I decided to just kind of eyeball it and just use logic to recreate the dress, And here is what I came up with.

I laid the dress flat on the floor and measure the length I want from under my chest all the way down below my knee, Because that's how long I want my dress to be. Then I cut straight.

I cut off the sleeves. The sleeves will be the upper front part of my dress. 

I located the middle part of the dress and marked it and laid the 2 pieces of sleeves that I cut earlier. Step 1 to step 2 in this picture is basically finding the outside and the inside of the fabric and laying the pieces facing them in the right position and sewing from the inside and not the outside. Did that make sense????? Whatever. This is a no brainer if you've sewn for a while. 

Now the picture above shows how it will look like after the last step has been done. :) 

And this is the closer look. Obviously the hem and excess fabric is inside. Now I'm done with the front part. 

Now the back part. So I cut a piece of fabric on the back part just like in the photo, I will attach this to the upper back part of the dress and also is going to be attached into the sides of the front part. The thing is, I forgot to take a photo of the process, So forgive me. I will just explain what I did. :P

After all that, I sew a garter measuring the circumference of my lower chest and attached onto the part where the upper and lower piece of the dress meets.

And then On the remaining fabric, I cut 2 strips of fabrics measuring 16x2.5 inches and folded it, sew it and attached it to the dress. I just added a big belt to accessorize.

DIY Beaded Pearly Necklace

I made a kind of collar necklace out of black round beads and some faux pearls from an old bracelet. I really wanted to have a collar necklace because I realize I don't have a lot of accessories to go with my outfits. I was really happy with the finished product and I really wanted to share it here on my blog.

So here it is. I filmed how I did the necklace so that if you want to make this kind of necklace too, You will know how.

Here's my video tutorial of this necklace. Please watch and if you have a Youtube account, Please LIKE this video, COMMENT and SUBSCRIBE to my channel

DIY Tutorial: Cute Mini Makeup Bag

I made this mini makeup bag out of left over fabric, bought a zipper and added a bow accent to it to make it look cuter. I found a pattern for this on pinterest. but mine's a little different.  

So here, I decided to film it while I was making the bag and shared on my youtube channel and here on my blog as well.

Denim Jacket Reconstruction Tutorial

I have this greenish brown denim jacket that was actually my moms. She doesn't wear it anymore though. So I though I could use it. but the sleeves are too big for my arms. Then I saw this denim vest in an online shop on instagram and I really wanted to buy it but I was short on cash that time. Then I saw my moms denim jacket and thought maybe I can reconstruct it into a vest just like the one I wanted to buy. 

So I did it. And now I want to share with you how I made it and how it turned out. Because I super love the outcome and I already wore it on our movie date with my family. :)

Here's how......

I am also planning to add studs on the collar so it would look more fashionable. :)
