Eiffel Tower.. You and me could write a bad romance.

The Eiffel Tower (French: La Tour Eiffel, [tuʁ ɛfɛl], nickname La dame de fer, the iron lady) is a puddle iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris. Built in 1889, it has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest building in Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair.

The tower stands 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building. During its construction, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to assume the title of the tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years, until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930. However, due to the addition, in 1957, of the antenna atop the Eiffel Tower, it is now taller than the Chrysler Building. Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure in France, after the Millau Viaduct.

The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be purchased to ascend, by stairs or lift, to the first and second levels. The walk from ground level to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the first to the second level. The third and highest level is accessible only by elevator. Both the first and second levels feature restaurants.

The tower has become the most prominent symbol of both Paris and France, often in the establishing shot of films set in the city.

Once the tallest structure in the world, the Eiffel Tower is probably Europe's best known landmark and Paris's most famous symbol.

You couldn't possibly visit Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower.

I couldn't agree more.

Madeline being one of my favorite cartoons as a kid, even then, I've always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffel Tower.

And since I can't go there yet.. This little one will have to do in the meantime. :)

I've always loved puzzles. :)

 Ta dah!!! :D

 My very own Eiffel Tower inside my little room. :)

My adopted pig staring at the little Tower. :)

 Like I always say, listen to music every time you work. 

And when I was making that tower, Lady Gaga was on shuffle. :)

Fashion Production Final Project

I'm finally done with school! Again. Hehe :)
For those who don't know, I finished Banking & Finance last year.

And then last September, I finished Fashion Design. Whew! 

Hmmmm.. What should I study now? Haha :D

Anyway, I'll share with you my final project in FashProd.

We were tasked to create a collection & present a final garment.

We didn't have to make the garment on our own, but I wanted to practice my sewing & pattern-making skills :)

For my collection, this was my mood board :)

As you can see, the colors for my collection are those above.

Honey, Hyacinth, Ink, Sandstone, & Tiffany Blue.

And it is inspired by pipes, stones & rocks. :)

I'm not good at illustration. Good thing, we can use photos downloaded from the internet! Haha :D

Oh and for the collection, the minimum garment required is 1. Hihi. :)

Cause the point of the project is for us to show that we have actually learned everything there is to know about production. Like doing the costings, the spec sheets, and many more! :D

Here are my costings. I won't show the spec sheets and others anymore. Hehe.  I have just three garments for my collection, by the way. :)

And for my actual garment, I made this! :D

Yup! I made that skirt! Hihi. Starting from the pattern, to cutting & sewing, & finally embellishing. :)

I haven't worn it yet cause it will make my hips look wider than they already are. Haha.

I'll wear it soon (I'm practicing proper diet already).
Maybe next week. Or maybe next year. Haha :D

Goodnightee, everyone! :)

Tiffany Keys

I want one. ^_^

Can't afford one. :(

I'll make one!!! :D

First, prepare your materials.

Felt, cutter, pencil

 Draw desired shape.

 Cut.

 Get other materials..

Thread, needle, beads

 Sew away! :D

 Ta dah!!! My very own Key Necklace ^_^

 

This morning, guess whose photo was picked for the 9pmHabit?

 My bestfriend! Hihi. Congratulations, Bezy ♡♡♡

 

Later, this is the theme...

Guess what photo I'll enter ;)

Tomorrow, I'll Be Cute

Or at least my outfit will be. Haha :D

I've lost the desire to dress up. You'll usually see me in a simple attire.

On usual days, just a shirt & jeans/skirt/shorts.

On church days, a dress or blouse & skirt.

When I go out, see usual days.

At home, the comfiest clothes ever. Loose shirts & pajamas. Haha :D

And I'm loving neutral colors now. I love wearing black/gray/white/nude.

But tomorrow is different. I want to dress up!!!

Still, my outfit is simple though. I'll just load up on accessories.

And I'll wear a Yellow sweater!!! :D

YELLOW! As in sunny Yellow. Haha :D

Dark wash jeans, Yellow sweater, Purple Bag & Headband, Black belt

 My mom gave me that sweater recently. I blogged about it! Read about it HERE. :)

Blue necklace & watch

 I love cute watches. And when I saw that one, I can't leave it there!!!

Haha. That's how I buy stuff. I wait for that gravitational pull or spark. Funny but true! I don't buy anything if I didn't feel a spark from it. :)

Cocktail ring

 I don't wear rings. I don't like wearing them cause when you shake someone's hand, it hurts when you're wearing rings. But I love the color of this one! :)

 

I love bracelets. And this one is actually my favorite. One time my mom went out and when she got home, she gave this to me. Nobody really knows how to pamper like a mom. :)

 Look at my phone's cover!!! I made that! :D

Maybe I'll blog about it this week :)

So those stuff are all on my table. That's why I'm typing on my bed right now.. Beside my adorable little baby! :) Look how cute he is, all curled up in my comforter. ^_^

 And this is my laptop, not on his usual place. Haha.

Everyone, meet Jack! :) He's from my brother. :)

He's been to more places than me. Lucky Jack. Haha :D

And I suddenly remembered I have Yellow earrings. Haha.

But they're still with my mom, she got them for me last week. I left them in their room, I'll get them from her tomorrow.

And so that I won't forget, I wrote this note:

Haha. I am such a dork. Haha. :D

Goodnight, everyone! Let's all be cute tomorrow! :D

I Can Serve

My day started at 3am & will end after this post. Haha. :D

 This afternoon I got these..

This is a nice movie. Watch it now. Or maybe later. :D

 

Have you watched its trailer yet? :)

And then I got some stuff from the I Can Serve Foundation :)

 And last, these cute earrings. I wanna learn how to make them!

I'll try next time :)

And now I shall sleep. I gotta wake up early tomorrow and go the market again. Hihi :)

It's been a good Saturday.. A happy Saturday :)

Happiness doesn't come from material things.

It is FREE & it comes from the heart ♡

Have a happy heart & goodnight, everyone! ♡
