So many amazing songs are out there, underrated, maybe even unknown. I've always loved looking for new songs, all kinds of music. Sometimes I read the lyrics before I listen to the song, and I fall in love with the words, that when I hear the song, I feel like I already know it.

It's been a while since I just sat and listened to amazing music on full blast! I didn't plan to, but I've been listening to music for the past 4 hours. I keep discovering new and old music on YouTube  So many old songs that I've always been in love with but have forgotten about! 

The Fray, Switchfoot, Lifehouse, The Script, Good Charlotte. My all time favorite bands. Their music is so meaningful, full of emotions and feelings, it really gets to my heart. 

I also discovered some new amazing bands like Bonaventure and Parachute. 

I get goosebumps when I listen to every song. Unbelievable how all these singers aren't just singers, they are writers and they really know how to send messages right to our hearts! 

I can't stop smiling and I don't feel like sleeping, I'm loving the music so much I don't want stop it. 

I saw this quote the other day and it's exactly the way I feel sometimes :

''Sometimes all I want is to lock myself in my room, lay on the floor, listen to music and cry till I have no tears left''

Below is a few songs that I picked for this post.

Enjoy

^ Such an inspiring song!

^So sweet

Hello everyone =) 

I hope you're all doing great. 

Around two weekends ago, I participated in the Cultural Night Market at the Safa Park for 2 days. I displayed my handmade accessories and DIY frames with some of my illustrations/photography in them.
 I can't describe in words how much this experience meant to me.

It was like a dream, the moment me and my mom set my table up, to the moment we packed everything and left. She helped me so much and I wouldn't have done it without her!

Seeing people check out my stuff, try on my bracelets, and BUY things from me, it was SO SURREAL I couldn't believe it!!!!

At the beginning I was so nervous that I was shaking while wrapping the accessories in their boxes and sell them haha! This was my second time displaying them, but it felt like the first time because it was so active and so many different people liked my crafts, from 8 year old girls, teenagers, to older girls and guys.

It was such a fun event and I got to meet a lot of great people that I stayed in touch with, one of which is the very sweet Clare Elise, who wrote about my stall and the event here =)

The event managers were so sweet and encouraging and I couldn't have asked for a better event to showcase my handmade accessories at.

I would like to thank everyone who visited my stall and inspired me with their lovely compliments, they made me so happy.  
You are the reason I am continuing to do this.

This isn't just a business for me, it's beyond personal and having the chance to show it to everyone means so much to me, it's like sharing a little bit of my heart with the world!

We raised a good amount of money for Lea, and hoping and praying for her full recovery, all your prayers will count!
Thank you so much again.

And always...

For the shirt, I used spikes and a little cutout studded piece I cut out of this bag (Scroll down to the last pic of this link) the bag was getting old and started to cut out a little bit cause I used to use it literally everyday and fill it with so many things when I went to classes! So I decided to cut the studs out and get rid of the bag! See, that's the good thing about buying cheap non branded bags haha you can always reuse without feeling guilty ;)

Here's this week's playlist, maybe month, I'm so in love with these songs.

Here's the link to the first song to the rest of the beautiful playlist! I hope you enjoy it. Sometimes the radio forgets all the real music and keeps replaying the hits that don't make sense sometimes.

I really appreciate bands and singers that are passionate, and write their songs with so many feelings, you can actually feel it the song not just hear it.

Just close your eyes and enjoy the music.

Hello everyone, you chose number 1 out of the list of  ''university life in pictures'' which is making a jacket.
These are pictures from my pattern drafting exam of my second year of fashion university.


Going to start off with showing you guys how ''making a jacket'' process is..
First, the teacher hands out a sketch of the jacket.. JUST the picture.. then, we have to analyze it, write the measurements, size of buttons, number of pockets, etc.. (Basically everything we see on the sketch)
(This was our pattern drafting exam - 2 weeks - 2 jackets)

Then, each of us decides which method to use, to make the jacket.. Either through draping(on the mannequin, or start the sketch from zero on paper, like in this picture.. )


How the patterns should look like..Draping..

Nebal hehe

Antoinette resting !!!

Copy it on paper to get patterns..

Then cut out the fabric and stitch :D
Jacket #1 Done..

Then we take the same pattern and cut the actual fabric we want to use. (takes around a day and a half)

our lunch =(
and ofcourse the daily horoscope haha!


back to work.. stitching the pockets..


Then the jacket, stitch on the buttons, stitch the collar and lappel, and then 2nd week and 2nd jacket are finally DONEE!! =)
