Ombre Glitter Nails

I hardly ever paint my nails as I'm constantly using my hands (thus my nails are always short) but while I was in New York at Duane Reade looking for junk food on my first night, I couldn't resist all the pretty nail polishes. I remember seeing Alexa Chung at the CFDA/Sunglass Hut event the other time I was in New York, and her nails were painted in a glittery green polish. Although not ombre, I thought it'd be cool to try the ombre effect in glitter. It's a lot sparkly and glittery in person than in pictures.

Super Easy Chalkboard DIY

What you'll need: A pretty frame, thin board such as particle board to use as your chalkboard, primer, chalkboard paint, saw, and a roller to paint the board

1. Make a template of the board. If your frame already comes with a board, just use that and sand it so the surface is smooth

2. Saw the board. If you have a wonderful boyfriend like me, ask him to do it for you. (double plus if he cleans the saw dust too!)

3. Apply a coat of primer onto the board and when that dries, paint the board with chalkboard paint

4. Wait at least 3 full days before you start writing!

Warning: Don't start painting it on your skin wondering if you can be a human chalkboard.

*Update* I got my frame from the Fairfax Flea Market this day. See me looking pretty determined to bring the frame back home with me?

Sorry I've been a lil MIA, and haven't been getting back with the comments since probably last week and thank you for still stopping by my blog despite the no updates....
School started on Monday and it's been really crazy for me as I am taking four studio classes(people normally take two studio classes and two liberal arts class) and among them, two end at 10pm and one class starts at 8:30am. I've been so tired every single day and I can't believe this week is ending already. At times like this (when I'm busy and tired) I just wish I was super duper rich and didn't have to work. ah.. just the thought of it is relieving my stress

Aimeeways my lovely & stylish readers, despite what hectic week u had, I hope u guys have a wonderful and relaxing weekend and don't forget to root for St. Pierre. lol

I'm more of a UFC fan than a super bowl fan. I don't even know who's playing on Sunday. haha

Let me Rodarte you

I was checking the oh-so-fabulous Rumi's site today and saw this sweater and was inspired to finish my DIY Rodarte sweater that I've started a week ago.

Happy Birthday to..

Emily Dickinson & I!!

Remember I went fabric shopping a couple weeks ago?
I meant to make this dress awhile back but never got the chance to since I've been so busy with school and work. I had a day off for my birthday so I decided to make my birthday dress that I've been putting off.
Since I have never made a dress before, it took me 5 hours making this dress.
I know it's not perfect, but it's close to what I wanted to be and I'm so proud of myself! teehee

Also, I got a Chanel 2.55 bag from my wonderful boyfriend. I can't believe I got this!! I thought I was going to faint the minute I opened the present.

Inspired by this dress:

Btw, so sorry for not getting back with the links.

I shall do them as soon as I am done with my finals!

Pinky Promise!!

Love, Aimee

Baby Tree

My lovely boyfriend's even lovelier mom got me a humidifier for an early Christmas/Birthday present and I am loving every bit of it! It's a little different from the one I had as a kid where the water/steam comes out and u could put your face and get your face wet but it does what it needs to do.
I clearly recommend it to those who have dry skin.

and.................

Look who got a Christmas Tree!
