Back, with some news!

Hey guys! It's been a really long time. School's got me wrapped up in all sorts of business, and I just haven't found the time to blog.
Many apologies!
BUT

Something to look forward to: I just ordered some makeup from Innocent+Twisted Alchemy, an indie brand with incredible shades! I'll def. be doing a swatch test and review when I receive them c:

Until then, kisses!

DIY STRIPEY JEANS

Hey guys! Sorry for not regularly posting! I've been meaning to, but school has basically killed me Dx
I found some time though, to do a little tutorial!
So I've been seeing a bunch of cool jeans online and stuff, like these:

So I've been seeing stripey jeans all over the place! And then I was like. . .Well why can't I do this myself???
And so I did! And after 3 trys, it finally worked! Here is TanzyxT's DIY Tutorial to Stripey Jeans!

Teen Vogue Trends

So when I was at the Atlanta airport, I picked up a Teen Vogue to flip through on the airplane because I get bored and I didn't want to do my required reading. I found it very interesting actually, because a few of my top trends (that I listed here) were actually on a list of their trends.
So I think for this post I'll actually do a mini-review on what I like about Teen Vogue Magazine, what I don't and various other things.
Alrighty so I picked up the newest edition, September 2012.
What I always don't really like about Teen Vogue is kinda a thing I like too. There's always so many high-end designer adds, and even what they use in their photo spreads and things like that are all designer items. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but for budget fashionistas like me. . .Its kinda sad when I fall in love with something, and in now way would I even consider shelling out the cash for it. On the other hand, it is nice to see what the designers are putting out, and even to try to predict future trends and DIY projects. To be honest it really depends on who you are and what you like. If you want to see more budget-friendly pieces, I'd definitely suggest Seventeen Magazine! They sometimes have coupons too c:

So back to Teen Vogue- A few things I really liked in particular was mixing prints. At first, I know it sounds really weird and that it wouldn't look to good, but just a few pictures got me hooked. Its got a very cool, retro vibe coming off and I'm definitely pumped to try this out.

The second trend(s) that I really enjoyed was in the spread titled, "Great Expectations". Described as "All aboard. Fall's eclectic mix of chunky knits, rich brocades, and offbeat accessories is right on track." 

Take a look and see what you think!

Its just so quirky and fun! And for me, I've always loved sweaters of all kinda so I think sometime down the line, I'll try knitting my own of these! 

Thats it for now, guys! Hope you've enjoyed it c:

Kisses!

Back from Hiatus and info on SCAD!

Hey guys, I'm back!
This is basically going to be a write up on my experience at SCAD's Summer Seminar program for high schoolers c:
For those who don't know, SCAD, the Savannah College of Art and Design is one of the top art schools in the county. Originally located in Savannah, GA they have now opened up campuses in Hong Kong, Lacoste,  and now in Atlanta, GA.
I went to a program called "SCAD Summer Seminars" which basically is a week-long camp for students in high school, who are interested in learning more about the arts and SCAD. You choose 2 different classes to take throughout the week in different art-subjects (i.e painting, illustration, photography etc.) I took 2 fashion classes, Fashion Illustration and Fashion:Textiles for Garments or something like that. LET ME TELL YOU. I learned sooooooooooo much. It was a great program and I'd definitely recommend it to ANYONE.
You can learn more about SCAD and the Summer Seminars here

Also, my room mate was the absolute best. She's so cute and adorable and so nice c:
She has a fashion blog too! She post a lot of cool stuff so check it out eh?
Fabric and Old Lace 

So I'm pretty tired and stuff so I think I'm going to go and pass out xD
Kisses!

Hiatus for a week!

So I know I just started this, but I just realized that I'm going to Atlanta tomorrow for a seminar program at the Savannah College of Art and Design! So no update this week >~<
I'm actually taking some classes in fashion, so hopefully I'll have a lot to share when I get back!
Stay tuned! There a lot of cool stuff that's coming your way soon c:

Tanzy's Top Trends for the Fall~

I figured my first post ought to be about what trends and stuff that I'm really looking forward too~ This may/may not reflect what other people/society thinks and that's alright, because this is my personal opinion alright? So without further ado, here are Tanzy's Top 13 Trends!! Listed in no particular order c:

And guys I'm super duper sorry about the layout- I'm still trying to figure out Blogger. Please bear with me!! Dx

Hello and Welcome!!

Hiya! My name is Tanzy~
I dress in lolita a lot, a fashion style from Japan. I adore everything cute. I love cute things. And cats.
Although I love cute things, my everyday fashion style dabbles in between "girly", "grunge/alt", "hipster", and even "lazy high school student" (Yes, I have my days.)
I'm working on getting my own style down- Tanzy style as I like to put it.
Lolita and Cosplay will be a large part of this blog- That's basically my "stuff"

Why tanzyXt?
Welp. My nickname is Tanzy/Tanzi, and the X part is meant to be read as "and". So essentially, my blog is "Tanzy and T" Whatever t is, is up to you! There are a few words I had in mind while making that up, but the nice thing is that it's simple, and creative (at least I'd like to think so)
T Adjectives~~
~Terrible
~Twinkle
~Trend
TBH Trend was the one that got me hooked on the name, even though it sounds pretty lame. I like it okay? :I

Stuff to expect from this blog:
~Reviews
~Outfit Snaps (In and out of Lolita)
~Tutorials
~WIP's of Cosplays
~Shopping hauls (Online/In store)
~Opinions on upcoming trends/styles
And maybe even more I haven't thought of yet!
Ideally, I'd like to post at least once a week, maybe more.

Thanks for reading!
