It’s going to be an easy “Get Ready for Spring/Summer 2013″ refashion/sewing project:

Start with picking your fabric! I got this curtain/table cloth material at Goodwill for only $2.99

Don’t you just love it?

Then I laid it out flat, and as you can see the front is shorter than the back (yes, I intended it to be like that! :) ) and placed a shirt on top of it, to see where the seams would approximately go:

Then I cut along the lines, pinned it like so:

And here you have it! A very chic and shabby swimsuit cover up!

Husband’s Shirt into Tunic Refashion/Перешиваем мужскую рубашку в тунику

I am going to be honest with you, this was supposed to be a dress. But then my proportions were really off, so I had to turn it into a tunic. But I have a couple more shirts that my husband has gladly (yeah, right!) donated, and maybe one of them will eventually turn into a dress!

Here is how:

1. Take a shirt and lay it out flat:

2. Find a dress or shirt that fits you well, and lay it on top of the shirt, trace it:

3. Cut along the lines:

4. Hem the neckline and the sleeves, add personal touches (I went for a vintage lace collar and lace fabric), and you are done!

Have a great weekend everyone, and don’t forget to stop back tomorrow, I am having a SALE on my blog!

Xo,

Всем привет! Сегодня я покажу как можно перешить мужскую рубашку в нечто носибельное для себя! Изначально это задумывалось как платье, но что-то не пошло! В общем мой муж пожертвовал (добровольно! хотите верьте, хотите нет) еше несколько рубашек, и одной из них суждено стать платьем!

Итак,

1. Берем рубашку и раскладываем ее.

2. Сверху на рубашку кладем платье или футболку, которые более-менее сидят по фигуре, и обводим.

3. Обрезаем рубашку по линиям.

4. Обрабатываем горловину и проймы, добавляем что-то свое (я выбрала винтажный воротник и кружево для нижней части) и готово!

Всем отличных выходных, и не забудьте заглянуть сюда завтра! Я устраиваю первую РАСПРОДАЖУ на своем блоге!

My Strong Light Hold – Aveda Hairspray!

Today’s post is going to be a review on my new favorite hairspray. To be honest I was skeptical at first when i bought it. Plus it cost $16 which for hairspray is kind of a lot of money. I’m sure most of you have already realized that I’m talking about my Aveda hairspray with witch hazel.

It’s a light hold hairspray with a slight scent of witch hazel, which doesn’t bug me at all, as opposed to regular Witch Hazel that I bought from CVS and use as a toner every once in a while. Aveda also sells medium and stronghold versions of hairspray, but the way the light hold spray holds my hair in place is so amazing I can’t imagine what the other two can do! I use it mostly for work when I need to take care of my bangs as they tend to get into my eyes, trust me, even the bobby pin can’t cope with the task. And who likes hair in their face? Another pleasant surprise was the fact that this hairspray was able to hold a messy bun in place for the entire day, a hair tie and hair spray, no bobby pins required.  I was never able to achieve the exact same result was drugstore hairsprays.

This spray is also liquid. Which makes it different from everything that I’ve used before. But the directions on it are completely the same – you basically hold it away from your face about 10 to 12 inches and spray! How easy is that? I’ve had it for about a month and a half now, and I’ve been using it almost every day.

And it looks like it will last me for a good few months as opposed to other hair sprays that only last me about two months, and I didn’t use those every day. I honestly wish that this product was a little cheaper, not everyone is willing to pay $16 for a hairspray. But if it’s going to last me a long time then I’m willing to do it again and again. I’m convinced I found my perfect hairspray!

I hope this review was helpful and I would love to hear about your favorite hairspray products, so please leave me comments below on which ones you like and which ones you hate. Have a good Saturday everybody!

Cheers,

Z
