One Step Closer

I was looking through my pictures of the clothing I've made. I can't believe how far I've come. I went from just reconstructing t-shirts to making jeans, dresses, and sweatshirts. I can't wait to go to SCAD to increase my knowledge of the industry and how to broaden my portfolio. I'm on my way to the top and I won't stop till I reach the top. I want to own my own boutique one day in Atlanta. I want my clothes to be for every one. Every size, every color, and every social class. I can't wait to make my dream come true. I'm about to graduate tomorrow from college and I'm going to start a brand new chapter in my life. I'm so excited!

Miley Cyrus/ Max Azria Tank Top Tutorial

So when I went to Walmart I fell in love with the Miley Cyrus Max Azria tank top that I saw. I HAD to make one. My version isn't exactly the same but it's super cute. It's a simple tank top that's shirred in the back and I embellished it with a studded, punky bow! :) Enjoy!

Geo Tri-Color Green Circle Lenses

So recently I bought some lenses from http://www.honeycolor.com/ I also bought a case for them. These lenses got here super quick.

I really like the color on these lenses. It's pretty natural. These lenses are also really comfortable. They get a 10/10 for color and comfort. They don't enlarge at all though which is fine with me :)

Here's a picture of the lenses in natural lighting:



Here's a picture with the flash:



Here's the youtube video review.




Check out the website and I'll see y'all soon with a makeup tutorial :)

Candy Lens review

I recently recieved some lenses from candylens.com and I have to say I really like this site. Right now Candy Lens is having a promotion where each pair of lenses ordered comes with a FREE cute animal case. With each order Candy Lens also sends a "Thank You" card which makes me feel like they truely care about their customers.

The first pair of lenses I bought were the Colorview Fusion Hazel/Yellow. When I was looking at the picture on the website I thought these lenses would be really bright but when I put them on they were surprisingly subtle. With these lenses I got a pink bear case.


Here's a picture of my natural eyes.

Here's a picture of my natural eye (left) and my eye with the lens (right)

Here's a picture with both of the lenses in.


Comfort: 8/10 I have had some discomfort from these lenses but it's not all the time.
Color: 10/10 I love that they're so subtle.
Enlargement: 0/10 I don't really think they're enlarging at all

Overall: 9/10 The only problem I have with these lenses are comfort but other than that I really like them.

The second piar of lenses I ordered from this site are the Hana SPC Barbie Brown Lenses. I just received these lenses today. I got them because I wanted some lenses that didn't look like I was wearing anything at all. These are PERFECT for that! I got a blue fish to go with these (I had to put hearts on them so i could tell them apart from my other blue fishy case :P) These lenses also came in a cute gift box which I will probably use for jewlery now :)


Here are the little vials that the lenses come in.
Here's a picture of my natural eye and my eye with the lens in.

Here is a picture of both of the lenses in.


Comfort: 10/10 These lenses are super comfortable
Color: 10/10 I love the color. They look super natural.
Enlargement: 10/10 These lenses are HUGE!!! They make me look super dolly :)
Overall: 10/10 These lenses are awesome! They're exactly what I ordered.

Tokio Shine Review

So Recently I purchased some Geo CK-107 circle lenses from Tokio Shine. I thought that black lenses would look weird on me at first but these lenses are really cool! Tokio Shine just opened in February and I love their service. The shipping from Tokio Shine was extremely fast because they're based in California. They got here in about a week. All lenses also come with a free hello kitty case. They are currently having a promotion where you can buy 5 pairs of lenses and you get the 6th one free. Shipping is $3.50 and all lenses are extremely affordable ($19.99-$29.99).


Here are the actual lenses
Here's a picture of my eye with the lens (left) and my natural eye (right). These lenses are SUPER enlarging.

Here's a picture of the lenses without the flash with me sitting next to a window

Here's a picture of the lenses with a flash
Comfort: 10/10 I haven't had any problems with the lenses comfort wise. They're really comfortable.
Enlargement: 10/10 They are really enlarging. They make the ey really doll like. I'm still trying to get used to them.
Color: 10/10 These lenses are very true to color. They make my eye really dark with a hint of my natural brown in the middle.
Overall: 10/10 I really like these lenses. The color isn't weird because my natural eye color is so dark. The enlargement is a little unnatural but they still look ok.
