- KELLY | ANIMAL CROSSING PATTERN 2



I really love this dress from Marchesa's fall 2012 colleciton. It's so dramatic but not over the top, and I think it looks adorable as an Animal Crossing pattern. 
I'll definitely be recreating this one for New Leaf once the game comes out, so check back for it soon!

HIGH FASHION ANIMAL CROSSING PATTERN 2 - MARCHESA FALL 2012

This is a pro design pattern for City Folk because it includes a sleeve design, but you could use just the front/back pattern to make a design for Wild World or Population Growing. 
For City Folk I used palette 10/16. 
For Wild World I would recommend palette 6/16.
For Population Growing I would recommend palette 6/16.

- PIPING TECHNIQUE | BUTTERCREAM ROSES



Here's a simple piping technique that looks just like rose! All you need is a 1M piping tip, a plastic piping bag, and some buttercream icing. Just start in the middle and pipe on this icing in a spiral motion until you reach the edges of your cupcake. We used a raspberry buttercream and piped our rose ontop of a vegan chocolate cupcake with a raspberry compote filling.


We hope you make beautiful desserts with your new piping technique!

- KELLY | ANIMAL CROSSING PATTERN 1


I am completely obsessed with the Animal Crossing franchise. I think I've been playing Animal Crossing games every day for the last 6 or 7 years. I play every night before I go to bed and check on my town, make sure my favorite neighbors aren't moving, and check what's for sale at Nookingtons and Able Sisters. 
Over the years I've gotten bored with the clothing choices in the game, so I've decided to start creating my own custom Animal Crossing clothing designs inspired by real life fashion!

[These patterns are for City Folk, Wild World and Population growing - to hold us all over until New Leaf. After June 9th I'll start creating patterns for New Leaf <3]

HIGH FASHION ANIMAL CROSSING PATTERN #1 - BALMAIN FALL 2012

This is a pro design pattern for City Folk because it includes a sleeve design, but you could use just the front/back pattern to make a design for Wild World or even Population Growing. 
For City Folk I used palette 2/16. 
For Wild World I would recommend palette 11/16.
For Population Growing I would recommend palette 11/16.
I hope there are some geeky girls out there who will like this look as much as I do!
Let me know what you think!

- OUR VERY 1ST POST

WELCOME TO -THE 3 OF US!

We are 3 friends from Long Island, New York. We're all creative people who wanted a great way to share what we love with the world, so after many meetings eating frozen yogurt, we decided to make a blog!

- A l e x a  graduated from Muhlenberg College with a major in Psychology, and a minor in Women's Studies.
Experimenting with makeup and shopping have been long time hobbies for Alexa. She also spends a lot of free time reading murder mysteries, dystopian novels... and Harry Potter.
She plans on going to graduate school to study forensic psychology in the near future. Until then, Alexa plans to post hauls and reviews on makeup, skin care, books, and anything else she is trying out and loving at the moment.

- K e l l y  graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design, majoring in Apparel Design. She's a super nerdy fashion designer who plays video games every day and confesses that she once had a dangerous addiction to World of Warcraft. Right now Kelly is working on her first collection for her own line of ready-to-wear apparel inspired by the video games she has played throughout her life. Kelly speaks for the gamers and artists and plans to share her experience with starting her own line, post sewing tutorials, video game reviews, in-game fashion advice, Animal Crossing clothing patterns, and anything else she finds awesome or inspiring.

- N i c o l e  graduated from Iona College and majored in Mass Communication. She is currently pursuing a career in acting - including appearances on multiple  television shows. Nicole is a makeup addict. She hears about products, buys & tries them, then wants to tell people how she truly feels about them. She thinks beauty product bashing should be the only “bashing” allowed  because its not done out of evilness or jealousy, its helping your fellow “sistas” out on whats going to enhance their look. Yes, we are all different, but why not share the love by talking about what mascara is overrated or what foundation really makes you look like an eggshell. After years of makeup wearing, knowledge sharing, and product bragging, Nicole hopes her insight can work in your favor.

This blog is our way of sharing our knowledge, inspiration, and stories with the world. Sometimes we will make posts together if we all really love something, and sometimes we'll post separately, embracing our differences. We all bring something different to the table, and that's why we think our blog is special.

Thanks for visiting!

love,
