Long time no post 🫣

Don’t worry I’m still making stuff! Like this here dress made by me from vintage sheets and lace, and I also crocheted my largest project this summer!! Both are not for sale- I made them for me :-)

To be honest, I haven’t posted on here in a long time because it began to feel like a chore. About a year ago I started a full time job that turned out to be incredibly draining and exhausting in every way and for a few months I was barely creating things. I still did projects here and there and did 2 fashion shows during that time (!!!) but again; it all felt like another job, something I HAD to do. The last thing I wanted was to have that kind of attitudes and feelings about something that I began out of pure creativity and freedom. I had to take a break for a while and simply find the joy in creating and making and wearing, etc.

This all may sound very dramatic and personal and I appreciate you reading this far, but honestly!! It’s taken a lot more time than I thought it would to heal this feeling. I’m also just a young person going through life changes and constantly changing my mind about what I want to do, and there’s so much pressure about careers and life milestones etc. people around my age face, but I think that right now is the perfect time for me to try things; lean from them, and try again. And try something new! And maybe suck at it but also what if I don’t! And you’ll never know unless you do! So that’s what I’m doing and vibing with recently and I hope you can vibe with it too ❣️

Daydream is not going anywhere, it’s always been a part of me and right now I’m going to keep on learning about my own creative process and what it means to reclaim that space for me only. I’m in my creatively selfish era and it feels good! Excited to see what I come up with. Thanks for being here too :-)💗

Been a min since I’ve posted on here but don’t worry I’m still making things ✨ like this dress!!!!🥵

This was the first time I’ve really ever tried to make something like this and I think it turned out amazing. I used a set of vintage curtains to make this dress and drafted my own pattern too. Super pleased with how it turned out and wanted to share with you all here, might make some like it to have for sale someday …🫣

You guys asked and I finally delivered…. Towel shorts💃🏽

I’m really proud of these and they’re so damn comfortable too! I’ll have a couple pairs available this weekend but if you realllyyyy want a pair and can’t make it to any markets, shoot me a DM 😉

$50 each✨

Vintage 70s halters- made by me using vintage fabric and a vintage pattern, so I guess they can technically qualify as true vintage?🤔😉✨

These are a bit time consuming for me to make and I don’t have a ton of the same fabric to make repeats, so these are most likely always going to be 1 of 1! And I probably won’t offer them frequently! So get them while you can, yellow is a medium and blue is a tad smaller. Both adjustable and can comfortably fit a B/C cup size.

$50 each DM to claim, I can ship for a few extra $ as well💫

Just added a bunch of suits for sale in the stories, including lots of plus size Maxine of Hollywood suits😍

Two new pillowcases-turned-tote bags I’ve made this past week💫

1971 Peanuts bag features the same print on both sides. One of the gang :)💗 $50

1976* Rare McDonald’s scene with different characters on each side! This one is super cool because although from what I’ve found online, it appears to be from ‘76 but it’s missing some key characters- like Grimace, who was introduced in 1971- so it might be earlier due to that? Not completely sure but very cool nonetheless! $65

I’ll be at on Saturday and on Sunday come shop some new to you swimsuits, accessories, and of course groovy vintage all while celebrating pride weekend!🏳️‍🌈💗
