Bedroom Inspiration

Why did i join tumblr? why? it is slowing sucking my soul and replacing it with pictures of Kyary, My Little Ponies and loads of other stuff that is totally blowing my mind. I also think my boyfriend is a bit concerned with the sudden and immediate obsession with teh interwebz.....

but moving on.

I found most of these pictures floating around Tumblr and as i'm trying to fairy up my room i thought i'd point out exactly what about them i like and what i want to do. :)


GDU Tavuchi for having the most epic of epi bedrooms! I want a low table like that to do my work on. and the heart shaped one is so cute. There is something about japanese bedrooms that are completely amazing. There is so little space that everything has it's own place and there is something really lovely about how they hang fabric and clothes on the walls as a mixture of decoration and storage!



I also want to cover the floor in cute fabric. The carpet in my flat is brown and it's horrible. i think laying out some pieces of fabric (and trapping them underneath stuff of course) would really brighten up my room and Spank!-ify it nicely.


cute bedding! I have serious issues finding cute and affordable bedding. I look everywhere and nothig comes CLOSe to anything this cute. although i'm seriously tempted to buy some plain pink polka dot ones from primark and decorate them myself.



Toys and jewellry and accessory holders. I love this MLP ferris wheel idea for jewellry and i've actually got my eye on a Barbie horse hair styling head for all my hair clips and stuff. think it would totally cuteify and creepify my room. :)


cute funn squishy chairs. you know, to go with my new mini table. plus macaroons are totally amazingcakes.

DIY Inspiration

I've been looking up a lot of fairy-kei DIY stuff recently. I mean i know all of my fairy kei stuff so far is DIY but i've been looking at more things and there are some really cute ideas that i like.

Skirts:

i think this is an Angelic Pretty skirt. I like the shape and the mint and chocolate colourway







Dresses:






Tshirts/Tops:




Shorts:


Random stuff:
I like this bag just because of the pig head on the front. it made me giggle. XD



hug me! XD


Now, this isn't a picture for the outfit. This i liked because of her awesome boxes. it's be really cool to buy some hat boxes and cover them in cute paper and decorate your oom, cute and extra storage. :D

YAY for being inspired and not being able to afford fabric to make all of it. :/

Other Bloggers Inspiration part 2 - Strawberry Romper suit

The project i've been working on the past couple of days is finally finished!!! :D It looks like something Strawberry Shortcake would wear but it's totally adorable! XD

sorry for the messy room. reeeeeeally need to tidy it.

anyways, basically it's a pair of bloomers with a top attatched. the top part started out in life as just a square of the fabric which i then took in at the waist and part off the bust. it was easier than working out a bodice pattern shape.
I then made the straps just out of long strips folded over.

It was inspired by Laffi's Salopettes.

I found the fabric at my local Fabricland. I was originally in there looking for some amazing fluffy star fleece that i saw in there before and knew it'd be perfect for a cosy fairy-kei jacket for winter. but they had run out! they they said it was unlikely they'd get more in!!1 i was gutted. ;_;
It's really cute fabric, i've seen lots of strawberry fabric in my time but this is by far the best ever. they look so yummy and the fabric itself looks almost quilted! :3 it was actually quite thin in real life so i had to line it with some white poly cotton.
Fabric close-up:



Here it is worn. Sorry about the horrible blurryness. it's terrible at taking photos in the mirror. ><''


can't wait to wear them!!!!! XD

Other Bloggers Inspiration

Recently i've been finding a lot of inspiration for my clothes in images and pictures other bloggers have posted on their own blogs.

I've been pretty ill the past couple days so i made a skirt (as only i do when i'm dying from a cold). It's the most lolita-y thing i've ever made/owned but i really like it.

It is a LITTLE see through though so i will need to put a layer of white fabric under it or something before i can wear it out really.

The inspiration for this came from some pictures on Carousel Dreams

The blue skirt in this one:




And the pink skirt in this one:



Their skirts are probably brand or something but as i dont have ANY money (poor student, hello!) it's easier and cheaper to make my own. also then i can make it look now i want.
I absolutely love Emilia's style and her mixture of sweet lolita and fairy kei is completly adorable.

Here is my skirt:


I have yet to add the details i want yet. this is just to show the shape and stuff. but i really like it. :)


Other blogs i find really inspirational are:

Reiko The Unicorn
Her outlook on life is really up beat and happy and i admire her for dressing how she wants whenever and wherever she wants. :)

Laffi - Millions of Bows
I really love Laffi's style and she usually mixes her fairykei/lolita with accents of black and white which on anyone else would look kinda weird but she pulls it off in style! She mostly thrifts as well which is right up my alley and i like her attitude toward lolita. She's the kind of Loli who, even though she owns brand items, isn't obsessed with it and must be the only thing she owns. Plus she has mad making skills and this is coming from a 21 year old who has been making clothes (whether for myself or my dolls) since she was 6!

Iro Iro
Not a Lolita or fairy kei style blog but i really love the clothes and other thingys she makes for herself.

PomPom Curtain

My Secret Project i was talking about in my last post was a Pompom curtain!

It's kinda like a bead curtain but made from pompoms!



There aren't many strings simply because just these few used a lot of pompoms.

I just bought a couple packs of mixed sizes pastel pompoms from my local HobbyCraft along with some pink yarn. I then cut the yarn into a length i thought was right for hanging from my ceiling and then using a needle threader (because the yarn is really hard to put through the eye of the needle) threaded up a thick needle and slide the pompoms into place along the yarn length. (you can also tape the end of the yarn flat with sellotape to stop it fraying and make it easier to thread).

I then tied the ends of the strings to a ribbon and attatched it to my ceiling. I used white tack as i didn't have any thumb tacks to use but it doesnt matter as long as it stays.

It's a really nice touch and i feel like i'l in a den when i'm sitting on my bed. XD

I can also tied it to one side with a ribbon when i'm changing my bed covers or whatever. :D




The original inspiration for this came from this image:


I liked how the curtain over the bed seperats the bed from the rest of the room. So cute.

Mine also fits in with my nice new Fairy Kei obession!! :3

Sewing Withdrawl Symptoms

I have SERIOUS withdrawl symptoms. I'm dying to do some sewing but cant aford the fabric to do any right now. I hopefully get money through soo but i've been obsessing about making things recently. XD

I've been really interested in getting a fairy kei style wardrobe out in the open and have been scouring the iternets for yet more inspirational images and ideas for things to make so here they are.


I love the idea of having bows on the wrists of a cardigan. so cute!


I like the combination of the dress layered over the tutu skirts. the colours are pretty too.


I Loooooooooove this girl's jumper!! so pretty!!


I like the striped schooldress kinda look of this. definitely makes me want to have a striped dress or skirt.


A good idea for parts of fabric i have and need to used up, ie: harry potter fabric!


Cute handmade looking skirt, although the lace trim is massive it looks totally cute with the mint and pink fabrics.


I <3 bloomers!


I dont like the colour or the print but the shape of the dress, the lace trim and the bear ears are totally cute. would really like a dress like this to wear on casual days with tights and Dr Martins or something. :D

That's kinda it for now. my life is very boring while im not at uni, i realise my posts might be fairly repetetive but oh well!!
