They’re calling it Whimsymaxxing. . . Gemmaxxing. . . McBlinging! Whatever the term is this week, we know it as bedazzling. Tacky, junky, cheesy, excessive bedazzling is back. And I am here for it! Because rhinestones aren’t really the trend. Maximalism is. AND. I. MISS. IT! So I had a little fun over …
Happy Monday Lovecats! I was just getting ready to prepare a Monday Motivation post when I randomly ended up on Pinterest and spotted this lace and chain finger glove and swiftly added it to my DIYs category… when I clicked on it, though, to see the source, thinking it would be handmade from Etsy or …
I must admit, of all the DIYs I’ve done in my life, jewelry and beading has never really been high on my list. The only reason really is that I didn’t know how to do it. I never really learned or taught myself to DIY clasps and closures and so I avoided the whole category …
I’ve always wanted eyeglasses. My mom has worn glasses since I can remember and my brother needed them at the age of five, so my whole tribe wore glasses but me. Though I was grateful for my good vision, I felt left out. And then as I grew up, I wanted glasses to wear as …
I’ve had this link on my desktop for ages… and it seems like every other day I open it to gaze at these pretty leather flower brooches from Etsy shop LeasStudio. I love the colors, the textures, the wilted feel, everything about them and though I’m sure I could DIY one of my own, I’d …

I’m so excited to be DIYing again! Though I’ve done a few here and there, it feels like it’s been SO LONG since I’ve had time to be open for new inspiration and creativity AND THEN have time to make it too. So fun! I love a good accessory that works for so many different …
Tropical prints are a huge trend this Summer, but I’m loving these photographic digital prints vs the illustrated version we’ve seen for years. Not only do they SCREAM Summer, and are perfect for your essentials, they’re a great way to ease into a print you may not be ready to adorn your entire body with …
It’s finally getting warm enough to peel off my layers of sweaters and thermals and coats and socks and show some skin for the end of Spring and this coming SUMMER, YAY! So I’ve been stocking up on cute stuff {and dusting off some old stuff too} that I’m just dying to wear now that …
I’m driving down to LA tomorrow for another little filming session with Tide & BlogHer, and while I have a million and one other things to do, I’m pulling red carpet looks from my closet to translate into wearable Spring style. Here are a few closeup shots of my {messy} closet {at the moment} and …
I recently {and finally!} started the Downton Abbey series… and not 2 episodes in, I was itching to DIY a fabulous choker inspired by their attire. For this particular look though, I was inspired more by the high necklines of many of their dresses rather than a necklace specifically. But I’ve already got ideas for …
Collars & neck accessories are on trend right now… actually, they have been for quite some time and I just love the extra detail they add to a shirt or outfit. So fun for Fall. In 2008 I made a little black lace collar {seen below on the red shirt} and listed it for sale …
I wouldn’t go so far as to say the Pageboy Cap has made a full comeback just yet but I do see this fun little guy creeping back into trend-ville in the near future. And I for one, am excited. One of my favorite hats is a black canvas/cotton pageboy cap {above} which I found …

French Pouf Accessory : Pin, Belt, Hair from Ban.do Okay, to be honest, this wasn’t exactly a reader request MIY but when Holly {who is planning her wedding} posted about it here, I was very inspired to make it for her as a little wedding gift. But since I couldn’t find the exact peachy-nude chiffon …
