Wearing Hearts

Awhile ago, I fell in love with this dress I found on ModCloth whilst looking for something to wear to my cousins' wedding. I'm sad to say that I was not able to purchase it at the time, but that didn't mean I stopped looking at it every day leading up to the wedding.

Now, I have actually purchased a dress from them before. This was my first online dress purchase. To put it simply I was worried about how well it would fit. I've gone dress shopping before. That was an experience that kinda left me none to happy with dresses at the end. I would try one after the other. They were beautiful, and my size, or so I thought. I was able to zip them up past my waist and hips. The issue was with my chest. I'm not too big in that area, a B cup. If I sized up the chest area was too big for me. I couldn't find a dress that fit perfectly, so I left without having purchased anything. This was years ago, and from then on I cringed around dresses. I took a chance however when I saw this stunning dress on their site, Ryu Ivory Rose Dress. I loved it at first sight. I wanted nothing else but to wear that dress. Sadly at the time it was out of stock. Luckily for me, a week before the party I was planning to wear it for, it was available again. I ordered it right away.

I worried if it would arrive on time, didn't have to though because it got in on time. (Yeah, I tend to worry a lot.) Well, the moment of truth had arrived. I tried the dress on, hoping with all my might that I wouldn't have to return this beautiful dress. And it fit! I was so relieved. It wasn't too tight around my chest area, and I love the material, it was so light, and delicate looking. It was a bit see through if I had anything dark underneath, but I found a slip to go under it to help. Even with that it still didn't feel tight. I was so happy that day, and the day of the party. I received so many compliments, as did the dress.

So, when it came time to look for a dress again, I went to ModCloth. Found the Heart Over Heels Dress, and bam!  Instant love again. Here's how I would style it. (You can see how much I love hearts.) This would also be perfect to wear for Valentine's Day.

V-day Plans & Art

With Valentine's day fast approaching I'm reminded of not just my single status, but also that there is currently tons and tons of chocolate available in every store. And that it's going on discount after the 14th. Seriously, for a chocoholic like me this time of year is heaven. Of course, I'm going to buy it for myself, instead of receiving it from a guy, but that doesn't bother me too much. Yeah it would be great to be dating someone. And for someone who's never even been on a date, EVER in my 23 years of life, it would be really, really nice. However, it doesn't get me down too much because it just means that the right guy just hasn't crossed my path yet. Also, just because I'm single, doesn't mean I can't enjoy the decorations, and gifts that spring up around this time. I don't get bitter about it, and boycott V-day, I simply feel saddened that I can't always buy a lot of the cute stuff that are in stores right now. I mean who doesn't want a cute stuffed bear with hearts all over it. (I'm picturing the one from Build-a-Bear Workshop.)

So my sister and I have decide to celebrate in our own way as two single young ladies. We're going to get some Italian food, ice cream, bake up some brownies, and cookies, then sit back and watch some romantic movies. Maybe even some horror if I can convince her to watch some. Just because we're single doesn't mean we can't have some fun too on that day. What are your plans this Valentine's Day?

Here's a little something I made this morning.

Take 2

A new year, a hopefully, better year...So this is take two with the whole blogging thing. Blogging newbie!

Anyways, just a quick intro so you all know me a bit better. My name is Heide. With an 'E' at the end, NOT an 'I'. Can't tell you how many times people misspell it even after I've spelled it out correctly for them. I'm 23 years old. I'm an artist. I play with both traditional, and digital media. It's so much fun trying out different mediums, and styles. So I'll be posting all sorts of different pieces on here. I love dogs. Like a lot. But I would love to own a kitten. Hopefully soon.

I'm a simple girl who loves her comforts. Into fashion, so don't let my appearance fool ya. I dress in t-shirts a lot, and baggy shorts, but when I dress up. I DRESS UP. It's the same with makeup. Just recently getting into applying it. I've never not had an interest in makeup, it's just I usually feel awkward, and embarrassed (don't ask me why) about putting it on and thus, barely touch it. I love lipsticks, and eyeliner though. I swear I would spend a lot on just those two items, and boots. I'm into boots, despite not even owning a pair. And biker jackets. Love them!

Also, this year I'm hopping to get my business started. Selling art prints in my shop, and also selling at art conventions.

Well, that's about it. You'll discover more about me along the way.
