A few days ago I hinted that I may have DIY’d a pair of super fun – SUPER BLING sunglasses inspired by the great Kerin Rose Gold, designer of the SUPER FABULOUSLY embellished sunglasses brand, a-morir…But I didn’t just DIY one pair… I MADE FOUR PAIRS!I couldn’t stop, it was too much fun! I only …
I was initially inspired by a a pearl ribbon choker necklace Kristen Bell was wearing in one of her Instagram stories and once I made it realized it could really be so many more things! I love DIYs like that and have made a few, but this one is feminine and pretty and I just …
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 …
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 …
Bling Keychains and Pom Bag Charms are EVERYWHERE right now, and they are A-DOR-A-BLE… but ultimately wildly expensive! I’m guessing it’s because many of them are made with real fur {yikes!} but I think the trend actually originated with Fendi and Lagerfeld and took a few years to catch on. That said, I’m seeing them …
I used to make these boho braided leather chokers for the leather designer I worked with years and years ago and sell them via all the hot boutiques in Hollywood in the ’90s. It was one of my favorite designs and wore mine religiously at the time. In fact, I think I randomly gave one …
Because I use my iPhone for a camera most of all, I ALWAYS want it handy. And I mean, like in my hand at all times. But of course, that’s impossible. Even just having to pull it in and out of a handbag or pocket is not fast enough for me sometimes to capture the …
Well, I thought I was totally original when I came up with this idea late last night {not in that it was a “bow belt” obviously}, but today, in searching for the materials, I found a similar bow belt project using the same studded ribbon. However, mine is still different enough and you don’t need …
I actually really love this. I love it because it’s not only ridiculously easy to make, but it’s pretty, versatile, and you can wear it alone as a bracelet, as shown here, or poking out from sleeves of a sweater {if you make two}, or even layered over the cuffs of a silk blouse. I …
A few months ago, I think it was early Summer actually, I was flipping through a magazine and spotted heeled boots with black flowers all over them and fell in love. I initially wanted to DIY them to wear with my heeled boots but I actually like them better now with these shorty Caraby boots …
After seeing these AMAZING bedazzled fingers created by Max Kibardin for the Ralph Rucci RTW Spring 2014 runway collection, I just had to recreate them. 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 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 …
This genius idea {which I am in no way claiming to have originated but merely stumbled upon a youtube video of it a few months ago} is yet another way to make your scarves work for you. Light scarves, as we all know, are the perfect transitional accessory from Summer to Fall. They warm us …
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 …
