Each October, I generally do a really big Halloween costume DIY complete with hair and makeup tutorials, but I really couldn’t decide what to do this year. Instead, I’ve been super crafty and creative with much smaller Halloween projects, which is pretty fun for a change. I found this glam embellished skull on Pinterest recently …
I’ve had these Alberta Ferretti ankle-strap-ribbon-wrap-bow-heels Pinned for ages so I’d remember to do this simple DIY that not only amps up any pumps you have, it’s also functional… it literally straps you into shoes that are either a little too big, slip when you walk, or are difficult to walk in because the heel …
Flipping through September Vogue, I spotted this fun dress by Akris and immediately thought it would make a fantastic necklace. I love the clean lines and I LOVE the way it looks with a strapless dress or top. Though it wold also look great with a simple white tank… and now I regret not thinking …
So years ago I bought a set of three vintage Whiting & Davis gold mesh bags on eBay and this was one of them. As a simple square pocket bag, basically, it’s been pretty useless and though I’ve used the other two time and again, this one sits in my closet collecting dust. And when …
Denim DIYs are among my favorite to work on and create. I mean, who doesn’t have a pair or two of old jeans in the back of their closet that they never wear anymore… let alone, a bunch of scraps and “legs” lying around after we cut them all into shorts for summer? Denim is …
I randomly spotted this fur neck scarf on Pinterest last week and immediately remembered the Faux Fur Collar Necklace I made a few years ago… and since I had the fur part already made, I had to see if I could slip a scarf through it and get the same affect. I think it’s actually …
Okay, who remembers the early 2000’s? Let’s just start there 🙂 If you were at least say, 15 years old at the time, you might remember these tops, which were merely a piece of fabric in the front and laced up the back. They’re borderline apron tops really… I had a few that were fitted …
I’ve had this simple black boatneck tee for probably over a decade, and I just don’t wear it, ever. But I never get rid of it either… I have a love/hate relationship with the way it fits/looks, and I think it has to do with the boat neck, which sort of enhances my already very …
I love a good bandana moment in my hair… it always reminds me of ’80s Madonna, and Desperately Seeking Susan and big messy hair and all things fun! But the bandana around the neck as a sort-of scarf-choker look popped up on fashion blogs and magazines last year and all I could think of was …
This is my favorite of the two videos I shot with MODE Media for Ace Paint Studio back in May, where I spent the day in LA filming with Sabrina Soto and S Squared Productions and had a blast. In this fun little segment, we turned a boring corner into a Fun Speakeasy Lounge with …
Fashion’s having an embroidery moment… actually, it kind of began a few years ago, but it’s just kind of hitting bigger now… Most probably with the return of all things ’70s, which is always super fun. I first felt it via Dolce & Gabbana’s 2014 RTW collection which inspired this faux Floral Embroidered Clutch, though …
Okay, these cute Swarvoski Denim DIY Projects are SCREAMING ’80s Summer to me, and I’m loving it. They remind me specifically of 1987-1988, when I think I was in the 7th or 8th grade, and wearing denim jackets with matching hair bows… matching earrings, belt, matching EVERYTHING. Not that I haven’t worn a denim jacket …
Okay Lovecats, I’ve had this idea to DIY a pretty ruffled wedding clutch bag AND to give it away to one lucky bride, FOR-LIKE-EVER, but had the hardest time finding the perfect little base clutch from which to work with. But finally, a few months ago, I found it… and it’s perfect. It’s pretty but …
As much as I love my iPhone 6 plus, it’s also quite huge, and finding a case for it that is not only pleasing to me, while also remaining on the slim side, is a bit difficult. I have this cute palm leaf case by Sonix but I hate the black sides, which show on …
Before I really decide to get rid of any item in my closet, I give it a once-over to see if it can magically become something new. I’m not a hoarder really, I just don’t like waste. In fact, the closet in the Reading Room is full of clothes that “have potential” to become something …
