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 …
I feel like I’ve DIY’d far too many chokers lately, but this one is just so fun I couldn’t help it. The tassel trim was from my DIY Tassel Curtains {originally in my old office/dressing room and NOW in my Reading Room} and this small pieces was all I had left, so I had to …
Next up in my DIY Hacks: 2015 Fall Fashion Trends series Victorian Accents ~ Easy DIY Lace Choker. This is a SUPER SIMPLE DIY, as many chokers are, but packs a big punch based mostly on the clasp, technically called a Traditional Chinese qipao clothing button, which finishes it with a pretty elegance. The thick …
We normally see “O-Ring” necklaces attached to leather or faux leather and in the form of a choker with rivets holding the ring and the leather together. You can see me wearing a vintage version in this outfit post and this one as well. And while I love a great O-ring choker, an O-ring chain …
Flipping through the Fall 2015 Runway “most wearable” fashion trends this month had me thinking I could easily DIY almost all of them… so I thought I’d create a little series of DIY Hacks based on the Fall Fashion Trends seen at all the major fashion mags as of late… and since this one was …
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 …
Flipping through this month’s Marie Claire magazine, I spotted this fabulously asymmetrical blue bulky beaded necklace {pg. 112} and was immediately inspired to make one of my own. These dripping beaded statement necklaces called Diorganic Leafy Waterfalls were shown on the Dior Spring/Summer 2014 Runway, but it wasn’t until I saw one lying flat in …
I’ve been dreaming of doing this simple DIY for weeks now… I’m not sure why it took me so long, but yesterday I finally whipped it up and I’m in love. Wear it to top off a simple sweater & boom! it’s unique! Wear it against bare skin and even layer it over other necklaces …
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 …
Sometimes a simple and delicate necklace is all I’m looking for and while quite similar to my DIY rose gold charm bracelets, the simple curved line of this one has a little more edge to it. Worn short or long, together or alone, or even layered with a few other chains, I think these simple …
I know it seems like everyone has already done some sort of collar DIY {and I’ve done a few collar DIYs as well as an embellished collar diy myself} however, I kind of wanted a leather collar necklace and didn’t want to buy one. So obviously, I decided to DIY my own and document it …

While there were so SO many fantastic suggestions & submissions, given my time restriction this week, I admittedly chose this dainty doily necklace for my first Reader Request Maeg-it Yourself because it seemed the easiest & quickest to recreate. It turned out so cute I may have to make one for myself too! Find the …
I love this pretty chain, fabric, and pearl Lanvin Necklace but for $595 I thought I could definitely make my own! It comes in a few really pretty colors but I had a similar fabric in this nude-y fleshy tone that worked perfectly so I went with it. It’s not terribly difficult, but you will …
