Fashionable Projects

Only those who risk going too far

can possibly find out how far

one can go.

This year has been whizzing by, and I'm finding it hard to believe it is already June. Worse, stores are starting to get in Christmas stuff... gulp. 2010 can't be half over already! I still have things I want to do! However, I am excited for summer and am hoping that the second half of the year will be better than the first.

Since June 1st is a good time to check in on your resolutions and maybe make new ones, I thought it might be nice to highlight some cool projects other bloggers have been working on. Doing something for 21 days makes it a habit, so Melissa of 21 Days 21 Dresses decided to make a dress a day and came up with some pretty cool looks. A couple of my favorite dresses are the chocolate-n-bubblegum and the half-past neptune. Another cool blog I stumbled upon is The Seventeen Magazine Project, where Jamie, a senior, is living her last month in high school according to the June/July issue of Seventeen. I love this idea because it makes you examine the message behind all those glossy pictures. Read her post, Your hair is (probably) ugly, and never view magazines the same way again. For those who loved the new Alice in Wonderland, Vera, from Through the Looking Glass, is recreating Alice's blue party dress. The detail is amazing - look at this embroidery!
