February 8, 2013

When my favorite cousin mentioned that she was cutting her hand-me-down mink coat into a vest, of course I asked for the scraps. Inspired by my DIY Christmas gifts, I decided a fur snood would be perfect. Although very easy to create, the documentation process was hell. I got a few decent pics but they didn’t [...]

So yeah.  I took some time off.  It felt great spending time with family and friends, enjoying life and catching up on some much needed sleep.  It’s a new year and you’re probably hoping to hear some resolutions, but… I don’t make resolutions.  The idea of proclaiming a lot and accomplishing little gives me anxiety.

So…two weeks before Christmas I figured I should get started on gift making. Shopping was out of the question for me this year, so I had to make it work. My hoarder like tendencies actually came in handy this year. I ended up having most of the materials in my stash, which meant I cut [...]

Somehow I managed to put this look together without realizing I was serving all types of Boho.  With the DIY turban on my forehead, slouchy vest, and satchel, I’m ready for Woodstock of ’69. Let’s talk about these fringe ankle booties I scored courtesy of JustFab during fashion week.  They are super comfortable, which is my top [...]

So I wanted to wear some shorts the other day.  I know…I hate shorts.  Mainly because my “thigh-knees.”  A “thigh-knee” is very reminicent of a cankle.  There is little to no distinction between my thighs and knees.  Nope.  None.  Trust me, it’s ok to laugh at this.  It’s quite funny.  I figured an over-the-knee sock would cut the mustard.  So I [...]

So I just got word that my favorite discount fabric store is closing its doors forever. This is a sad, sad day in my world. In order to prepare for the major sale that’s about to go down, I decided to make room by clearing out some old fabrics. Then I remembered that I owe one of my besties a turban from months ago, so [...]

This somewhat easy DIY took forever. Mainly because I’ve been lazy. And although I’ve been dying for a turquoise piece, I still managed to sleep on this project for months. Yes, I have become that girl. I’ll have an idea for a project, go buy all of the materials impulsively, and then all of a sudden [...]

I had a few requests for the Arm Candy DIY bracelet from a while ago and I finally got around to making a few more. After I get a few random, “where did you get that” from strangers, I guess it’s time to add the item to the store.   Find it here! And don’t [...]

The chain that I’ve been using to make camera straps is perfect for a ton of other projects.  So I tried my hand at a bracelet. Of course at first I tried to use some fancy technique that I learned in my jewelry making class. No ma’am. So I scratched that idea for a simpler [...]

Here’s a secret. Until this skirt, I didn’t own anything floral. I’ve always been a little scared of the print actually. A cute floral today, is totally old lady-ish tomorrow. When I found this ugly dress in the thrift store, I figured it was now or never. This DIY was super easy, check it out here in case you [...]
