I bought a few of these copper plumbing elbows at the hardware store way back when I made my DIY gold hinge bracelet with a necklace in mind. It wasn’t until the other day as I was rummaging through my gift wrap, looking for something to wrap my cousin’s baby shower { gift } in …
image source: Tommy TonJust because it’s almost Fall, doesn’t mean we have to hide our tootsies away just yet! It’s been over 100 in these parts for weeks now and I’m betting it will be warm enough for open toes until Halloween. This DIY is just too easy for words and there are two ways …
When I saw these Brian Atwood Flower Sandals {on sale in white for $860} I fell head over heels and then immediately thought about my DIY Flower Hair Clips I made specifically as decorations for my Christmas tree last year. I couldn’t resist whipping up my own pair because it was just too easy! Even …
I can’t tell you how long I’ve been wanting to make myself a leather peplum belt. I think it’s been since the beginning of the year… and I finally have the time to get creative with some new DIYs, so I whipped one up the other day in about 30 minutes. I had plans for …
I originally created this fun gold chain and hinge bracelet for SHIFT on BuzzFeed last week wherein I dueled with Geneva from A Pair and a Spare {one of my favorite fellow DIYers}. We weren’t told who we were matched up against but really, it’s more fun and creative than competition. Our only rule was …
Other jewels: Guy & Eva Joyce & Josephine bauble bracelets + various silver bangles. Vintage turquoise ring & wedding rings I was asked to participate in a DIY for an upcoming feature on BuzzFeed.com‘s sister site, “SHIFT” and with some specifications, I headed to the hardware store to challenge my eye for all things crafty …
A simple and fun way to add a little drama to your bare feet… however, I love the barefoot sandal even more when worn with a pair of classic pumps! Simply wrapped around my foot and ankle, I can wear any shoes {even ballet flats} and give them an entirely new look at relatively no …
seen with Kooba “Sabrina” bag, Guy & Eva necklace, Forever 21 Sunglasses and Rich & Skinny jeans ~ via flickr I have been DYING to make a cute peplum t-shirt for a few months now but just haven’t had a chance to. When I have an idea, if I don’t do it right away, it …
I can spend hours, it seems, on the Hermès website… not at their shopping site per se, but they have this travel the world of Hermès section with tons of pretty little short films, fun doodles, and dreamy imagery that is their mood board of sorts. Once a month or so, I peek around it …
I was inspired by this photo of a neon pink and yellow soled shoe I “pinned” a few weeks ago but because it was uploaded without a URL, I hadn’t a clue who it was by or where I could buy it. After a bit of research, I think it was originally available at Topshop …
I found these large vintage rhinestone earrings on Ebay for under $5, but I’m 100% sure my local thrift shops have a nice little collection and yours would too. I bet you could also find some in your Grandma’s jewelry box, if she’ll part with them! Since they’re clip-ons, and clip-ons never seem to say …
I’m always worried now when I have an idea for a DIY that one of the other DIY bloggers has already done it. Sadly I don’t have time any more to look at too many blogs so please know that if someone else has done this, it’s by complete coincidence that I have too. I …
I love the way my iPhone looks without a case… I’m sure we all do. However, we know it’s completely impractical to carry an iPhone without a case save we drop it and break it and never forgive ourselves. I found this clear rubber case recently {at a kiosk at the mall for $20} and …
It’s not that I don’t love these Amrita Singh Napeague Earrings which I found on GILT a few months ago {and wore here} but I realized recently that I have quite a few pairs of turquoise earrings, so I thought I’d DIY them into something new. Though I just noticed, when looking for the link …
Flipping through the October 2011 InStyle Magazine, I came across Lauren Hutton’s picks and found this delicate pearl necklace from Calypso Sea and loved the contrast of the raw leather with the pretty pearls. I went to my local bead shop to find some really great pearls but they were closed so I used the …
