diy | vintage levi's high waisted shorts

High waisted shorts are so in everywhere. So I decided to check out the thrift store to look for Levi's vintage high waisted jeans. You wouldn't believed this, I only got the two jeans for only $7.00! Good deal huh? Oh yeah!
Unfortunately, the store has two Levi's high waisted jeans that fits on my size. But for me it's luck. Hahaha!

Turn your old/vintage jeans from this:


to these high waisted shorts:


Here's what you need:

a pair of scissors
tweezers
old/vintage high waisted jeans
Let's get started....

Put the jeans on and draw a line with the chalk to the length you want. Always cut them a little longer than you think will work: it's easier to cut more off later on. Make them just a bit shorter on the sides for a  flattering shape!

Cut slit on the jeans horizontally using scissors where you want the rips. 


By using tweezers, start by taking a little piece of thread and pulling it out of the jean. Pull it out vertically. Start pulling all the threads of the slits that you made in the jeans. This is gonna take a little bit of time, but once you get started it's fairly easy and you can start taking more than one at a time. One technique is turn your jeans inside out because it's much easier to find the thread that you're gonna pull.




     

Don't worry if they don't look natural, once you wash your jeans the frays will come out.

Wash the jeans to get your desired distressed/fray. I washed mine several times to get this result.

Dye it or bleach it! If you're feeling quirky, add some color. I bleached mine to get the ombre effect.



Tuck in a cute tank top, add a belt or just put on an over size knitted top, and you have the newest fall trend.


Don't forget to post it on Instagram! :)

random | anything inside the closet


Hi everyone!

Today I'm gonna talk about how I style. I know some of you may not interest about my fashion and that's fine. This is about a girl who loves to dress up and the transformation of material on a hanger into someone beautifully twirling in front of a mirror. I have no qualifications but I have my own fashion ispirations, of course. Some of them are Hollywood celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, mommies Katie Holmes and Nicole Richie and the legendary classics Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn monroe.

What I do is go look at the things hanging in my closet, pair them, mix matched them, try on, accesorize then voila! Mostly, I picture them first on my mind, then go and put it on and go in front of a mirror and check if it fits me. So I ended up a cluster. Clothes and shoes everywhere, on the bed and on the floor.Haha!

I have loved all aspects of styles since I can remember. I put on my momma's shoes and accessories and dance in front of a mirror when I was a little girl. Sometimes, I would pretend I'm a model. (I think some of the girls do) But when I'm growing up, I've learned that fashion is not just the one that you copy from the famous celebrities or models. Sometimes when you try to copy them it won't look good on you. Learning that fashion and style should be based on how it fits you and how it will look fabulous on you. You can be fashionable even in the most practical ways. It's about how you style and not about how expensive the clothes that you're wearing, or the shoes or even the bags that you're holding.

So, I wear basically anything inside my closet. Some of them were given as a gift and most of them were purchased on sale and thrift store. I don't care what brand I wear. It's all about styling and making the most of what you have and be beautiful. It's all about how you carry it and believing in yourself.

Enjoy!


xoxo,

I changed the boots into my camel color wedge shoes. I hope this won't affect the look. *wink and put my hair up into a bun to finish the look. Then I add some accessories.

get the look | suri cruise

Hey everyone! So, here it is again  my GTL Series a.k.a. Get the Look and it's my daughter on the blog today. Yey! Actually, this was her OOTD (Outfit of the Day) at school yesterday. I knoe it's Saturday but they do have make up class. Anyways, I like to dress her whenever we go out to the mall or go to church. And since it's the first week of class, they're allowed not to wear their uniforms, so I grabbed the opportunity to dress her the way I wanted. Hahaha! You knoe moms sometimes. :) But she always liked it. She said it's nice. Sweet kid. hehehe!!!

So, yeah, here's  her GTL | Suri Cruise


I got the shoes/sandals with low heels and the simple blouse with skirt that is just below her knees. Then I added her pink Dora bag to complete the look.





And here are some silly faces she always do whenever I take a picture of her. :)




Pink Tee: Baby Gap
Denim Floral Skirt with Tool: Faded Glory
Gold Strap Sandals: GIBI kids
Pink Ballet Dora Bag
