VILLAIN PART II. It’s my turn!!!🥰 I sew for myself (to blog) so infrequently I think it’s been about 6 years😳!!! I tend to have lots of ambition to make myself SHINee handmades but I always prioritize myself last so it never gets done in time🥲. So I had decided on Azriella’s neon green villain plague doctor outfit, but I couldn’t help but be compelled to make the other villain outfit too! However I’m always pressed for time around Halloween, so I figured I would make only a few parts of the outfit and use other things from my closet for the rest!

Helium x Life on Mars

This is something I have been wanting to do for 7 years now. Wow. I can't believe it took that long to get around to making this outfit but now that it's done, not only was it worth the wait but, I sincerely couldn't imagine it any other way!

As she got older, she naturally gained new interests but Bowie and Man Man, and SHINee have always stayed at the forefront in her heart. She said she wanted to do Life on Mars for Easter and I told her how I was planning on doing a Helium (from Key's Bad Love album) x Life on Mars crossover. It was an obvious collaboration considering Key himself mentioned how this album was heavily influenced by his long-time admiration of David Bowie😱🤯This project is so important to me and to Sephira, as it’s that something I've been planning for almost a decade! I truly hope you enjoy hearing all about the process! HAPPY SHINee DAY!!!!

the rainbow dash dress!

Once upon a time, long, long ago (well, maybe it was this past June) a sweet little girl dreamed of the perfect birthday dress. As she slept, visions of her favorite thing popped into her head: horses. The horses played and galloped and whinnied and then something magical began to happen. Those horses began to transform into her favorite show about horses: My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic. When she awoke her mother asked her what she wanted her birthday, and the sweet little girl knew exactly what she wanted her dress to look like: "RAINBOW DASH!" she cried out! It was certain in her mind that she must have a dress that looked just like Rainbow Dash!
