NEW YEAR, NEW DECADE, NEW FASHION

Yes, it's been a while. I could give you a hundred excuses why I haven't posted as of recent, but I'll spare you and leave you with a quick New Year's picture and a promise to upload all of the new things I have made. (And yes, I have LOTS of new things to upload.)

CONSTRUCTION

Hey readers, great news- Rebekah Sierra is going re-vamp (no, not vampires). We're fixing up the site and we're going to add a few new bits and pieces such as Runway Watch! Yes, we will be spotting the runway for the viewers from now on and not just for ourselves.

Speaking of runways, did any of you see Prada's piggie tail line? In the Paris Spring 2010 Fashion Week line-up, Prada went full- out with the piggies- every model had 'em. Everything was crystal-esque with clear plastic purses and fax diamonds dripping from every model. So much fun, so much work to do.

The site may be down and out for a week or so, while I fix some link problems. I'm not exactly a tech wiz, so give me some time. Don't forget the other fashion sites out there, too!

Bali Fashion

I'm sorry for the missed post this weekend. This week (or actually just yesterday and today) I had four finals, the mile and timed swimming for p.e. Anyway, I've made enough excuses. I'm currently posting from Changi Airport, about to depart to Bali! I'm hoping that while I'm there I will have internet access, if not, I will post when I get back to Sinapore.

While in Bali, I hope to pick up some new and intresting things to add to the Rebekah Sierra Summer 2010 collection, while gathering 'beach inspiration' if you will. In other words, I will be relaxing on the beach, doodling new outfits and scanning the local markets for things to use soon. I will post my finds as soon as I get back!

Shirt: Complete

Yesterday morning I woke up and remembered that I had a birthday party to go to that afternoon. I rummaged through my closet, but came up with nothing worthy of wearing, so I grabbed that pink material I had been talking about and got to work. In just a couple of hours, I had a cute pink shirt that I knew noone else would be wearing. I paired the shirt with a white jacket (rolled up sleeves) and bottoms. I'd love to put the picture up right now, but I havn't had a chance to get my model to come over and model it yet. I'll inform you as soon as it is up.

Fun Fashion Fact:
Taylor Swift went as Chewbaka for Halloween one year as a kid.


Fashion Equasions:

Simple flats+ rhinestone & ribbon= cute shoes worth way less than they look

Cheap cluch+ diagonal pyramid studs= cute pricey- looking clutch

Old sundress+ three layer diagonal ruffle addition= easy but cute new look (don't fforget to pre-wash the material for the ruffles or the sunddress won't fit any more and it'll be like wearing a boa constictor instead of a fall- dance type thing)

Curvy = Empire waist

Halloween and Sea Green: October is Almost Here- Double Article

If you're looking for Trick - or - Treat inspirations, or the best nail color for you, you've stumbeled upon the right blog.

Special Double Article

Nails:
Weather you want the perfect nail color to match your outfit or you are trying to make your hands look smaller, there IS a nail polish out there for you.


Tips & Tricks:
- Mid to deep greens make your hands &/or feet look smaller
- A simple French Manicure is a good break from crazy colors
- If your nails are chipping a lot, either the climate, the length of your nails or both are affecting them. If your nails are too long, give them a quick trim. If it is because of the climate, add a clear coat and hope for the best.
- If you are painting your nails in a rush, dunk them in cool water to get them to dry faster
- If your colored nail polish isn't a good brand, then make sure to wear a clear coat over top
- Sea green is in right now for nails

Halloween:

I'm not sure about the USA right now, but in Singapore everyone grades Pre-K to Senior year trick - or - treats on Halloween. Everybody and their dog dress up as princesses, pirates and witches, but this year you can stant out. Here are some simple suggestions:

Costume Ideas:

-Taylor Swift: Curl your hair into ringlets, put on a dress and some boots and grab a mic 'cause your crowd's waiting!

-Twist on Twister: Take an old sheet and four old shirts the colors: red, blue, green, and yellow. Cut circles out of the shirts and sew them onto the sheet just like a twister mat. Then sew the "mat" down the back and add noodle straps - you're a walking game board!

- Rainbow: Grab six friends and dress up in all seven colors of the rainbow - wear matching t - shirts and shorts your color and go door - to - door as one big group.

- Checkerboard: Wear a checker-ed shirt with checker-ed skinny jeans, a checker-ed hat and checker-ed vans

- Marshmallow: Wear a white pillow case over your head and orange shorts - a marshmellow over a campfire!

- Kiwi: (I'm including this one because my friend - guy did this last year) Draw a kiwi on a white t - shirt and walk around yelling "I'm a kiwi and you just got pwnd!"

The costume ideas were all mine (except the kiwi - that was David's) - if somebody has thought of them before, then sorry!

Updates & Favorite Fashion: Oscar de la Renta, Marc Jacobs

First off, I realise that I posted just a few days ago, but I failed to mention at that time that I just got a new sewing machine last weekend. I'm currently working on a "bless" and if you go to my school, then you might get to see me wearing it the next free dress day. (Yes, my school has uniforms.) Oh, and for those of you who were wondering- I did wash the new fabric and it didn't fade or shrink, so I'm happy.

[A "bless" is something in between a blouse and a dress. The word "bless" is a portmanteau of blouse and dress, but is not to be confused with a baby dress. I want to copyright that word - my invention. I guess you could call the "bless" a neologism, but I'll make it a common word. Some day it will be known as something other than "to bestow good wishes" and it will say "coined by Rebekah Sierra".]

Anyway, now to favourite spring/ summer 2010 outfits & collections. I love the exotic colors Oscar de la Renta used in his new line. My favourite outfit is a beautiful bright orange dress he made. Marc Jacobs also has some very nice new things out. The websites are below for you to take a look.

I love the sideways pumps / sideways heels. Marc Jacobs made the original back in 2008, but they are now being made by many different companies and becoming more common. They are very inventive, original shoes & for those of you who hate them, step back because you're about to get hit by a wave of the future. Like I said two posts ago, designers are getting more adventurous and way more futurestic with thier clothing & accessories. See the hair-do's from the Marc Jacobs spring show?
