My love for red and blue

I don't own many clothes that have the red and blue combination. They're either plain red or plain blue, or combined with other colors. Every time I see them together in a dress, top, shoes or skirt, I can't resist not buying it. This polka dot dress is my current favorite. I bought it from H&M a couple of weeks ago and I love love love it. I just need to find a nice pair of red maryjanes and the outfit will be complete!



Inspired by the dress, I recently made these for the shop. I hope that someone will love them as much as I do. The hard part of selling things you make is resisting not to keep them for yourself. Most of the jewelries I make are made with limited supplies so I can only make at least two of the same design, sometimes just one, like that star necklace in the picture. I've accumulated beads in two years, most of them were still kept in their original plastic bags, and when I took them out a few weeks ago, I remembered why I liked and bought them. I tried to search for them again but couldn't find them anywhere. At least you know you're the only one wearing that piece, really one of a kind. :)

I've been wrapping parcels to send out tomorrow, two of which are swaps and the rest are just little somethings. I'm getting the hang of this swap thing. I think I'm hooked.

ako pag may hinahanap to complete an ensemble, di ako mapakali! hahahah!
I haven't really looked for the shoes yet, but I want to wear more dresses now. They just look nicer than jeans. Maybe because I'm getting wider but not taller. lol

The dress is so cute. You always know how to make a complete look with accessories, and even better that they are your own creations :)
Aww, thanks! :) I've always been into accessories. An outfit wouldn't be complete without them. Even if it's just a pair of earrings.

I love the jewellery sweety. The necklace makes me think of when I was younger and played on the beach, and those earrings are super cute.
Thanks, Claire!! :)
