Totally inspired by a kid’s Fall fashion editorial {see more here: Little Punks! Cute Fall Looks for Kids it’s the last photo} who had faux feather mohawks adorning their heads, I got busy thinking about how I could replicate the look and how on earth I could get it to stand upright on my head …
Cinderella Costume DIY // Modern Day Style + Hair & Makeup

How to Make a Pretty DIY Bow Sweater with Open Back
Last week, or maybe it was the week before, and inspired by a pretty photo of the back of a sweater closed with a bow on Pinterest, I pulled out two sweaters from my closet that I never wear to makeover, transform and adorn, with pretty bows. The one you see here did indeed receive …
DIY Open Back Sweater // Give an Old Sweater a New Look
Well, I forgot to take a before shot of me wearing this sweater, but you can see in the photo below that it was a simple crew neck, and it was a big snug and uncomfortable, and though I’ve had it for ages, I’ve never worn it. But it’s vintage. And I usually have a …

Unfortunately it’s sold …
DIY Brass Birds // How To Make Large Animal Decorative Figurines
A few weeks ago I bought this metal 2 Piece Crane Décor Set for $45 at Joss & Main to sort of satiate my Large Animal Statues & Figurines obsession {because I just can’t justify spending hundreds on one} in my Home Office Sitting Area. When they arrived, however, in opposite colors of how they …

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 …
DIY Bejeweled Hair Combs // Pretty Brooches for your Hair
I fell in love with hair combs the other day after writing 18 Statement Hair Combs | Brooches for your Hair and was totally inspired to make a few. In all honesty, I had purchased a pack of plain hair combs about a year ago to do this DIY, but I just haven’t had the …

How to Replant, Repot, and Regrow Orchids
A few months ago I found these pretty raised square serving bowls and thought they’d make a perfect home to a few of my already regrowing orchids. I used to keep all my orchids in their original pots, planted in their original plastic casing and was a bit afraid that if I replanted them, they’d …

DIY Vinyl Wall Art for your Shower or Bath {fun for kids too!}
Years ago, after we watched “What the Bleep {do we know?}” for the first time, we were instantly taken by Water Crystals and Dr. Masaru Emoto‘s studies on how our thoughts and feelings affect our reality, and specifically, how they affect water. And since “WE” are made up of mostly water, that our thoughts and …
How To Make Your Own Glitter Nail Polish
It’s been all over the internet for ages, yes, girls making their own polishes, and even selling them on Etsy {how fun!} so I thought why not give it a try for myself. Really, it’s more of a response to the two tiny bottles of clear polish I got free with purchase as a Sephora …
