Fashion Forecast-the beginning


Some people are lucky to have a good intuition and I guess that I'm among them. Quite frequently I have premonitions about what is going to be popular trendy or name it like you want. My premonitions about fashion are usually exepressed in an intolerable desire to own something. I had this feeling long time before veils became trendy and appeared in all magazines and street fashion stores. I don't know how that idea appeared in my head because I even didn't see any photos(for example retro) with veils before that moment but I was dreaming about that piece so hard that I digged Etsy all over to find at least some vintage veils because I couldn't find any here in SPb. My aim was achieved and I got some vintage black veil from Etsy and made some head piece with a bow,veil and even spots(I cut them out of velvet fabric) but I faced another problem-where I can go with this beauty on my head and not to be taken for a mad person?! Unfortunately that amazing head piece didn't see the light much(except one fun photo shoot-the photo above was made then)but anyway I was happy because then I realised-I have a good fashion intuition.

I was bearing an idea of a number of Fashion Forecast posts from that time and finally I know what I can present to you, my dear readers. It's just an experiment but I think that for a fashion blogger it's important to have intuition and to share it with others because nowadays bloggers become trendsetters.

Stay tuned because this week I'm going to make my first post with some fresh fashion forecast!

PS: I know that you are lazy sometimes to comment here(as sometimes I am) but it would be nice if you comment what you think about the idea of Fashion Forecast posts.

DIY: let your legs get all the attention

Lately I was inspired for many DIY projects and here is one of them. As I adore nice tights, leggins etc.(because even such small thing can make your outfit look absolutely amazing) I decided to make for myself some DIY tights that would attract a lot of attention. To embroider them?! Why not! You have seen embroidered jeans, jackets, cardigans and so on many times, but tights is even better object for experiments!It takes a lot of time but believe me it worths it!
So you need...
♥ Quite thick tights( at least 40Den)
♥ Some lace(to cut elements from it)
♥ Small scissors(for cutting out)
♥ The most thin needle(for beads) and threads
♥ Some beads and sequins
♥ About 4 or 5 hours to make your super tights
1- Cut out different elements from the lace

2- Prepare some beads and sequins.It's better to put them in some small saucer(Later you'll have only one spare hand so it would be more easy to get the beads)

3- Put the tights on your hand and start to sew on the elements, beads and sequins. Be careful with the needle! Also be careful with the tights because it's easy to damage them.

Ta-da! And here is the result! Nice,huh?

I've chosen dark-grey tights and golden lace-love the combination of these colors.
NB! You are lucky if you have a plastic leg(like you can see in hosiery shops) because in this case you need two times less time for all the process and you can keep your magical hands from injury.
