How to make a Top Hat? or how I got to finish my Slash look?

29 Jul

Today I woke up, had breakfast, argued with my code, showered and made my way to Arely’s. It’s been a while since I went to her house, so I was excited.

The plan for the day was to work on the Slash top hat that I need to finish my Slash outfit for the photo shoot I’m doing on my birthday. Arely has always been the master of manual crafts so I knew that she was the perfect person to help me make my top hat. I got to Arely’s and we went to her room, talked and fooled around a bit and then started working.

Does it fit? Yes, it does!!!

Yup, I think we have a winner.

No tutorial on how to make a hat because I suck at explaining things. Still, this is the raw form of the hat. It is made out of cardboard that Arely had lying around. Then she covered everything in newspaper and glue. I just cut newspaper strips for it. I’m totally hopeless at doing anything handmade. Codes are great but crafts… no thank you.

Newspaper covered hat!

This was done to give it strength and a better shape. Arely got her fingers soaked in glue and I cut way too much paper while we gossiped. Gossip is always good, specially when it’s about your old high school friends.

Drying the hat n_n.

Then we left her house (hat in tow) to buy some spray paint and ribbons to paint it. We took my car and went to the paint store, then to the fabric store. Rosma was supposed to meet us at Arely’s but she got there, then left and disappeared until 5 when she came back to Arely’s. Meanwhile we spray painted the hat and dried it again.

Painted hat.

After that we put on pink ribbon on it, it looked really cute, but not very Slash-like.

Oh, so cute n_n.

The we got some studs and proceeded to put on black ribbon instead of pink ribbon, then we glued the studs on and it was done. Here’s the final product:

It looks good doesn’t it?

This picture just cracks me up!

Once the hat was done, we had a meal, and the played Lips and Scene it! in the XBOX 360°. I had a lot of fun but had to leave early because my mum needed my car :( .

Julie.

Fashion Inspiration: Slash

25 Jul

My friends have always told me that I look like Slash. Well, that I could be Slash, because of the curls you know? It was more evident when my hair was longer, but I can still rock some Slash-like curls when they get crazy enough. There was also a talk about me officiating a wedding in a Slash costume (because I can’t rock an Elvis one, after all Elvis wasn’t THAT curly).

So, what would I wear if I wanted to channel Slash?

I don’t really like necklaces so I didn’t include one n_n.

I’m totally thinking of doing something like this for the photo shoot. I have little over one week left to think about it. I think it’ll be a nice contrast to the more vintage outfit I’m going to wear for the first part of the shoot. I’m missing the hat, the leggings and the tank top (meaning the whole outfit :P ). I need to go shopping with my sister, she can get me those things.

Kisses,

Julie.

This is what I wore to run errands with my sister.

  • Hurley lyrics t-shirt
  • Lefties jeans
  • Salamandra checkered flats
  • Filipo Catarzi hat/fedora/thing for my head

She injured one of her thumbs at a club and now I have to drive her everywhere. We went to run errands and then we went to Las Aguas de la Zona Azul to get some flavored water. Hers was strawberry flavor and mine was tamarind. They were soooo good! It’s been AGES since I’ve had one of those n_n.

I had fun with the hat, everyone turned to look at me and my sister liked my ensemble a lot.

Yes, I have a Mao Zedong pillow n_n.

Kisses,

Julie.

On my Playlist

Good Girls Go Bad – Cobra Starship ft. Leighton Meester

Summerboy – Lady Gaga

Starlight – Muse

As Long as You Love Me – Backstreet Boys

These are just a few song that I’ve been listening to lately. My favourite for the summer is Lady Gaga’s Summerboy. I don’t know why, but that song puts me in a very god mood.

What songs are you listening to? (Tip: leave the address for the videos in YouTube and I’ll embed the video in the comment.)

Kisses,
