THRIFT FLIP (featuring *authentic* boyfriend jeans, a victorian dress, and more)

Hello Lovelies! I thought it was about time to do a thrift flip tutorial, so today I'll be transforming a Victorian reproduction dress, a very purple coat, and a pair of my boyfriend's old jeans (hence the *authentic* boyfriend jeans). I'm still a bit new at making tutorials, so I totally understand if something is confusing. If you have any questions feel free to dm me or leave them down below. I know I went mia for a bit, but senior year and college just got really stressful.... However,...

*aesthetic* $100 Yesstyle Try-on Haul (Shoes, Clothing, Jewelry, and More)

All the products and prices are listed in the Youtube description.... Hey lovelies!

Overall,...

A Goodbye to Blogging... Sort of

Hey guys, remember when I said I'd be relaunching my blog... Well, whoops. I intended to transition this blog into one focused on fashion and beauty, but as I wrote my first few planned posts, I found that my desire to talk about these topics via a video format wouldn't fade. I knew I wanted to create a Youtube channel even before I announced the relaunch of Quartzfeather, but I was reluctant to do so because I didn't have access to the "right equipment". However, while writing that first...

Turning Over a New Leaf

Heh, it's been quite a while... again.... I'm sure y'all have questions considering all the changes, and luckily, I have answers. First off, where did all the pink go??? #ff8b8b (the specific salmonish shade of pink that graced Quartzfeather in it's yesteryears) is an old friend of mine, and I'm sad to see it go, but I'm changing up the focus of the blog a bit (more on this later) which calls for a new look, so I went for a more sophisticated (in my opinion) berry red! (if you have any...
