Jumping on the Cris Wood Sew Parasol bandwagon, and continuing my gathers sewing bender! The Parasol Dress and Top pattern is a simple but dramatic pattern that can be made with or without sleeves, with a low V back and front, adjustable neck tie, and gathered skirt. The Parasol is a zero paper waste pattern, which means there are no paper pattern pieces to print, cut and tape. The pattern uses simple formulas to allow you to grade the pattern to your own personal measurements. For my Parasol, I used a pretty kelly green cotton gauze, which is super lightweight and floaty. This was a remnant from my stash... you might remember I used some of this fabric for a Seamwork Mojave swim cover up several years back. After plugging my measurements into the Parasol pattern's formula and playing around with my cutting layout with this fabric (imagine me jotting down measurements, drawing layouts, and generally puzzling over it like that math lady meme), I used the full width of the fabric for the skirt. As such, my skirt pieces are 56 inches rather than 50 inches, which is what I calculated for my hip width with Cris' formula. I figured the super lightweight gauze could take the extra width and gathers. I ultimately decided to extend the bodice slightly to lower the waistline slightly. I extended the bodice pieces by 2 inches total, which really means I extended it by 1inch on the front and back since the bodice pieces go up and over the shoulder. I had to extend the facings, too, to match the bodice. I also decided to interface the facings and the ties, because my fabric is so light and I wanted to add a smidge of structure. I used 1 inch strips of tricot interfacing (I got a roll of it from Wawak after seeing someone on Instagram using it, maybe Loni?, and it's been a delight) and ironed the strips down the center of the facing and tie pieces. Finally, I also ended up raising the armholes by about 3 inches and the back opening by about 4 inches. Otherwise it would have been basically my entire bra showing under the arms and at the back. I know this is at least partially due to the fact that I added 2 inches in length to the bodice, but if you make the Parasol, I just want to encourage you to try the bodice on after sewing the front, back and side openings but before topstitching the facing and armholes to make sure you're happy with the coverage! My Parasol is really cute! Definitely more baby doll-ish than I normally go for, but fun, summery and playful and twirly, for sure.

My face is a bit silly in this picture. It was the start of another glorious Shopping Saturday with my friends Sabine and Anke. As the knee wasn’t up to shopping (story is getting old) we decided (or I dictated) to shop in Haarlem. That way I could travel by bike instead of walking. Riding […]
With International Women's Day around the corner, i'm encouraging you to raise your hand, stand up and ask for more and truly believe in yourself. If we want to improve the value of women, drive equal pay & increase female representation at the top, it has to start with us believing in and championing ourselves.
I spent one holiday day with lots of friends. That just happened. Trying to squeeze as many lovely gatherings in one day as I could.
The 16-year-old model was seen modelling an array of chic ensembles which proved just how aquainted she is with the catwalk as she pulled her very best model gaze

What you see on Instagram is only part of someone's story. Only a couple of minutes out of someone's day or week in which they took the photo or video. As human beings, we are drawn to things that are beautiful, perfect even. I think it is fair to say that we are all more likely to follow accounts on Instagram with a perfect feed- perfect locations, perfect styling, perfect lighting and filters that make the images blend together instantly. We would much prefer to see those sorts of images when we scroll through our feeds, rather than seeing pictures of deadlines, dirty dishes, messy bedrooms, arguments, sadness- the realities of parts of everyone's lives. It is true that we are much less likely to display the harder, uglier sides of ourselves, the not-so-perfect angles, the double chins, the sweatpants, the dressing gowns worn 99.9% of the time. And that's not even mentioning the times when your actual life is less than perfect, perhaps broken relationships or hardships at work. It's much easier to share the beautiful parts of life, because they make you feel good when you look back at them. No one wants to look back at their feed a year from now and see the tough times, you want to forget about them and dwell on the good times. And what's more, there is nothing wrong with creating beautiful content, expressing creativity through the art of photography. I know I love to do it! It feels good to get compliments about your images, it's great when you spend a while shooting for photos and you finally get one that you're happy with. I mean I think we've all experienced the taking 6o+ selfies to get that perfect one, am I right? 😉When it all comes together it's amazing and you feel proud of what you've curated. The point I'm trying to make is that we need to realise that what we see online isn't the whole story. Everyone, or at least I can only assume that everyone has bad days, everyone makes mistakes, makes wrong choices, has arguments, fails at things, gets rejected and feels like quitting at some point. So, we shouldn't compare our ordinary life to someone's highlight reel. Don't take the pictures you see online so seriously, as accurate portrayals of someone's full life. Yes, someone might have this perfect life that they display on their Instagram, but we have no way of knowing if this is true, unless we spend 24/7 with that person. Instead, I've decided to just appreciate the creativity in photos, to celebrate the success of the image, and compliment the curator rather than comparing my work with theirs and my life with theirs. It's not all bad... Amongst the semi-fake nature of images on users Instagram feeds, there is a movement at the moment towards a more realistic display of life. I've seen quite a few more realistic pictures where bloggers/influencers show the 'outtakes' of their shoots, and stories showing their realistic daily routines and what habitats we would usually find them in. I loveee the influencers that are 'real' in this way, they are much more likeable because of their relatable and authentic personalities. These really tend to be the most successful influencers in my eyes because they aren't afraid to show every side of themselves.
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about creativity and I therefore stumbled across a Youtuber who makes me bubble over with excitement
Grandmother knit sweater, Old Navy jeans, Marshalls bag, Glasses Shop* sunglasses, JORD* watch, Mars’o & Inès bracelet, New Look sneakers, Essie nail polish, necklace from Barcelona The majority of my sunglasses are black. I never leave the house without a pair, just like celebrities. It isn't because I want to be incognito but because I have extremely sensitive eyes. I drive, walk and eat with sunglasses. I turned this disadvantage into an advantage: accessorizing all of my looks based on sunglasses. These cheap glasses from GlassesShop.com sunglasses are my most recent acquisition. I chose brown and golden rimmed glasses which are much different from all my other black pairs. Do you wear sunglasses or prescription eyeglasses? What do you think? Use the code: GSHOT50 to have 50% off eyeglasses and sunglasses with free lenses (sale frames excluded). La plupart de mes lunettes de soleil sont noires. Comme les célébrités, je ne sors jamais sans. Ce n'est pas parce que j'aime passer incognito, mais parce que j'ai les yeux très sensibles. Je conduis, je marche et je mange avec des lunettes de soleil. J'ai fait de mon "handicap" un avantage: j'accessoirise mes tenues en fonction de mes lunettes. Voici ma paire la plus récente. J'ai choisi des branches marron et doré qui changent de mes lunettes de stars, noires. Qu'en pensez-vous? photos: PAUL ~Emma BLOGLOVIN' - YOUTUBE - INSTAGRAM - PINTEREST - TUMBLR - NEWSLETTER

I hope everyone had a nice and relaxing Memorial Day weekend. Ours was very low key as we chose not to travel. I did however manage to try my hand at golf, and I really enjoyed it. I think it is an activity I am going to continue with and maybe even take some lessons. Today’s look is a casual yet chic look, mixing soft shades of blue. The lightweight cardigan is our light blue slightly textured knit cardigan. First, the color is so soft and pretty and secondly the yarn, which is slightly textured is perfect for spring and summer
So my last post talked about the difference between style and fashion, and I mentioned that I think the difference between the two is that style is what you make of fashion. I also mentioned that I was going to try to start really making each outfit I wear my own. Well, you can make an outfit your own by getting inspiration from someone else. If you haven't already seen this blog, check it out. This girl finds looks that she sees online or in magazines and then recreates them using items that she has. I think a great way to personalize an outfit is to start with an idea of the look you're going for, and then use what you've got. Check out my recreation of her outfit below. Remember when I wore this top here? It's a cute top, but I wasn't doing much to make it special. All I needed was a little inspiration from J's Everyday Fashion to add the elements my last outfit was missing. What do you use for inspiration? Lexi
