Yes, you heard right. One of the trends for this winter is going back to peplum wasists shapes. Now, I didn't have a clue what this 'waist' shape was before I saw this trend. But I realize now this is not a new trend at all.. it sounds... familiar! lol I just didn't know they were called "Peplum waists"



So, what can we do to achieve this look and still wear handmade? I found a few iems that would work well in this category:

Sellers, left to right, top to bottom, are: NodtoModvintage, Kalivoda, thebeeskneesvintage, shopgoodgrace, iheartnorwegianwood, pinkpoodlevintage

So, what do you think? will you be wearing this trend? ;)

On a side note, I just finished my first silk obi belt! Made of my own hand painted silk, sewn by me! (lol I'm a total beginner at sewing so I am super happy with the outcome of this first attempt)
So, what do you think? I love the reddish/orangeish overall color, perfect to combine with a black/grey/brownish dress/shirt. I think it adds a super fashionable touch to the outfit hehe
It will be soon availabe inmy etsy shop for around $45. Do you think it is well priced?

Happy 2009! =)

So, what did you do for new year's eve? In spain we eat 1 grape for each clock strike at midnight to celebrate the beginning of a new year.
And after that, we go out to the bars with the friends. Usually people dress elegant and go to a club with a $60 entrance lol But here in my city we are a little weird and like to dress up as if it was carnival. So yesterday night I went out as a gangster! =)
As always, new years eve is not the night I have most fun... I don't know why, might be because you know 365 days earlier you are going out that day... so it is never as great as you wish it'd be.

Anyways, I found some gangsta things in Etsy I wanted to share with you! =) Happy 2009!!!

Sellers, left to right, top to bottom are: ProjectR, toybreaker, Gentlemansjabot, TheABomb, putonthatdress, BackThennishVintage, boytoys, hoolala, VonlenskaVintage


I am not going to make any new years resolutions cause I never get to fullfil them lol So... this year I'll improvise ;)
I just hope 2009 is much much better than 2008... or at least a little bit better =)
