Minty Obsessions

 

Before summer started I found this dress on Cute Japanese Fashion but for £11 and postage I decided it would be cheaper to make one.

 

All together I think this cost me around £7 to make baring in mind I skimped on fabric and made it slightly more fitted.

 

This took me a while to make as it was mostly experimental and guesstimating, I also used french seams as I used sheer fabrics.

 

This is how the dress turned out, in the middle of this project I was really worried however after I finished I really liked the outcome. I think I look kind of strange in these pictures, maybe its because I'm waring 0 make-up.

 

These are the nails I painted to match my dress, I'm in love with coloured french tips at the moment and one of my friends actually thought I had them done at a nail salon!

 

Thanks for reading! what do you think of my dress and my nails??

White Strawberries!!!!

 

Last week I found out about a white strawberry!!! This fruit is called Pineberry its white with red seeds, its a mix of strawberry and pineapple.

 

I has the exterior of a strawberry but tastes like a pineaplle! They look so much prettier than normal strawberries!

 



Have you ever tried or even heard of Pineberries??

Sawasdee Ka, Table for two?

Sorry for my lack of post over the past few weeks, however I have good reasons. I recently started working part time at a Thai restaurant.

 

 It may seem kind of cliche working there as I am half Thai, but why not? Its just another way of embracing my heritage.

 

I thought that my uniform was pretty interesting so I wanted to share it with you guys!

 

 

The two colours that I wear very bright and fruity!

 

Sorry for the bad pictures from my murky mirror (it refuses to clean!!) These are the two uniforms I have the skirt is actually the same, it just looks a funky colour on the right.

I also got a manicure from my mums friend who works there whilst it was quiet ^_^

 

It sounds like well be getting a new uniforms soon so I'll be sure to post pictures if and when we get them.

 

Thanks for reading!! I hope you liked this post :)

 

Do you like Thai food??

A trip to Manchester

 

The other week I took a trip to Manchester to take a look at some museums for my holiday homework.

 

First we went to the Whitworth Art Gallery

 

 

And then we went to the Manchester museum

 

 

 

"In Japanese culture there is a legend that anyone who folds 1,000 paper cranes will be granted their wish.

Sadako Sasaki was two years old when she was a victim of the Hiroshima bomb, in 1945. She developed leukaemia, probably as a result of the bomb, and died in 1955. Sadako folded 1000 Origami paper cranes before she died because of the legend about wishes being granted.

There is a book about Sadako's story called 'Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes'.

Paper cranes are an international symbol of peace."
 

 

 

 

 

After that we went to MOSI - Museum Of Science & Industry and took a look at the Textiles Gallery

This is a jacket made of dandelion seeds ( or fairies as I know them) probably the most delicate thing I've ever seen!

 



 

Finally we went to the Air & Space gallery

 

Really wanted to go on the simulator! :(

 

Thanks for reading!

 

Will you be folding a thousand paper cranes??
