Quest to make New Girl's Jess's clothing

I have joined Rosy on the quest to make Jess's clothes from New Girl over at http://sewingadicta.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/new-girl-strikes-again.html#comment-form. The adventure has begun by making the green dress (as shown above) first, there is no sign up or anything, you can join when you want and make what you like. 

A Bad Addiction (I can't help it)

Some of us obsessions/addictions to all sorts of things, I'm pretty sure everyone does. Just like my obsession with buying endless numbers of dresses and shoes at a consistent rate (that being every time we go shopping), my new addiction is buying sewing patterns. I recently found some really great stores at ArtFire; Sewinghappyplace (http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/sewinghappyplace) and TodaysTreasure (http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/TodaysTreasure), I couldn't limit myself to buying just one instead I bought 6 vintage patterns (and I don't think I'm finished). Here they are, I couldn't decide which one to buy, so I bought them all:

Vintage 60s Straight Flared Dress Pattern Size 12 Simplicity 5036

Dress Slip Overdress Pattern McCalls 8992 Size 12 Vintage 1960s

Misses Shirtwaist Dress Pattern Size 14.5 Mail Order 4627

Today I'm 17 on the 17th!

I feel so much older not in the sense of feeling older but the number makes me seem older, sixteen used to feel like a middle number to me. Unfortunate for me I had to study all day because tomorrow I have a modern History exam... :( Last year I had an amazing birthday, I had a party with many friends and (presents!). It was the greatest party I had yet! But on the bright side of the things I share this special day 17/9 with my dad.

Here is a preview of tonight (with a funny story):

Silver locket bracelet that I specifically asked for! :) I absolutely love it!

My Dress! from my mum, largely inspired by Zooey Deschanel, when I saw it, there was no going back. I had to have it :)

Front (The collar is my favourite)

Back

Matching pair of shoes which I bought at Big W for only $5.00 from $29.98 :O

Breakfast at Tiffy's

Vintage fashion is back in, it's jumped back to the fifties, which in fact had a beautiful range of style. An example can be taken from Rayban Sunnies inspired by Audrey Hepburn breakfast at Tiffany's. 

You may say that many famous people have been wearing vintage styled fashion, is was very neat and tidy, being high-necked, long in length and the hairstyle always being buns. Take Zooey Deschanel for instance
