DIY skirt (worn HERE HERE and HERE), vintage shirt/necklace/belt/bracelet, colin stuart heels

Like I said before, this was the first article of clothing I've ever made semi-successfully... and it was under the supervision of a knowledgeable sewstress. Good thing, because the unknowledgeable me didn't know about how difficult a fabric brocade is for beginners...nor the sheer amount of IRONING a circle skirt requires during its making. Anyway, I love this skirt to death for its sentimental value and try to not wear to events where fashion people might critique my uneven hems and crazy sewing (not in a good way; absentminded chinese girl and sewing machine does not go together).  
Last night I finally embarked on making the perfect red velvet cake and came out with one delicious but ugly concoction and looking like I just murdered someone. Red food coloring + butter + eggs + brown sugar + vanilla = most scarily realistic-looking fake blood I've ever seen. Oh, also I loved all of the questions left in the comments section last time. In response to a comment requesting me to list bands that I like, I'll list a couple by genre but this list is super truncated... especially the metal/rock section since I still have no idea what the bf puts on 90% of the time in the car.   (random person at concert: "which Queensryche/Tesla/Priest album is your favorite?"  me: "um...the first one?") Don't. Laugh.
