patty took these photos for me last week before the temperatures rose through the roof here in Vancouver. also before I went for a bike ride and fell on my butt (EPIC FAIL LOL). now I have this massive bruise on my knee and my whole body is sore. i’m still loving the sunny weather and can’t wait to go bike riding again! in the meantime i will be heading to the beach to work on a tan weeeeee!

So I stumbled upon this brilliant tutorial to turn an oversized t-shirt into a summer dress. Watch it here: DIY How to Make an Easy Shirt Dress. Isn’t it the most awesome idea? Turning an unwanted t-shirt into something that is wearable is like giving a new life to an old item. The best thing is that you don’t even have to sew! This is one of the reasons I love being part of the blogosphere, to gain inspirations from some very chic ladies. Weeee! So with this outfit, I’m using my brother’s old Levi’s t-shirt. If you don’t have a brother, raid your boyfriend’s closet instead =P

Ta-Da! Are you going to experiment with this dress? Or do you have your own DIY projects? If you do, upload a picture on What Annie Wears’ Facebook page. Show everyone how you rock this dress or share your own creations!

Dancing to: Geographer and the Weepies. and guess what? i’m listening to Leehom as well! a lot of you might not know him, but he’s huge in Taiwan!
Watching: the Wimbledon Championships. A lot of youtube videos. Nigahiga is my favourite atm, so funny!
Reading: I can’t seem to finish reading a book these days. what i do is i pick books up off the floor, read for 2 minutes and then toss them across the room.
Bizarrely passionate about: Nail polish and learning self defense.
Celebrity crush: Lu Yen-hsun, the Taiwanese tennis play that defeated Andy Roddick. I’m pretty sure I saw him play at Wimbledon 2 years ago. wait, he counts as a celebrity right?
