I thought the easiest way to get a similar look was with stretchy sequined trim, though I only had gold to work with. So I got busy… you may have …
I am LOVING everything Dolce & Gabbana is doing right now. Their gold crowns parading down the runways as if belonging to royalty, beaded lace dresses and shoes, HUGE gilded & bejeweled cross earrings, and looks complete with deep red lips and sultry cat eyes. It’s all so regal with a hint of Medieval and …
I know, I know, everyone and their mother has done a DIY cat ears project and tutorial, but none like this {maybe?} lol. I searched for a leather pair a little bit like this cat ear headband by Fleet Ilya {$518} but less like Bat Girl or Cat Woman {though they would work for those …
My birthday came and went this year without much fuss, which is mostly how I like it. I’m 37, there’s no need for fanfare. Though I do suspect in a few years time, a combined 40th bash will be necessary since the husband and I are the same age. But until then and probably after, …
A month or so ago I asked you guys to help me choose a mirror for my vanity area in my new office/workspace. While I really loved all of the mirrors, I went with the Ablenay Mirror from Lamps Plus because I thought it would really work well with my Italian lamps, as well as …
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.

Tommy Ton ~ Style.com In the 90’s we all wore short single strands of seed bead necklaces with our school uniforms, particularly in Rasta colors or multi-colored hues, but I recall having a black and white one as well. When you wear a uniform to school, you tend to try to accessorize in ways that …

I love a great nautical tabletop and rope napkin rings are so easy and inexpensive to make, you’d almost be a fool to buy them 😉 From rustic to nautical, Thanksgiving to the 4th of July, rope napkin rings work with nearly any color scheme or theme. I love them and use them year-round! Tip: …
When we moved into our house in January I knew I would finally get my grandma’s antique desk that I have loved and cherished since I was a kid. Originally an antique, in the late 60’s/early 70’s, my grandpa painted it this olive green with gold leaf accents as well as hand painted the little …
The littlest member of our family, my niece Delilah George, finally fits into the ruffled jersey onesie I made for her last September, just in time for Summer …and she couldn’t look cuter in it! I made the ruffles much like my petal pouf shoulder diy but used an old soft peach t-shirt instead of …
I had a thought for a leather DIY project the other day and since I recycled the rest of my leather skirt to make my DIY over-the-knee boot spats, I headed to a little local leather shop in North Hollywood called Tandy Leather Factory. They have quite a large selection of leather for such a …
