So I’m still rockin’ the iPhone 5s and a few months ago {or more} I bought this clear phone case with an hilariously gaudy rhinestone peacock stuck on the back of it because it was the only case {in my local vicinity} that was clear and I thought I’d ultimately rip off the rhinestones and …
A few months ago I saw this cute lace accented flare dress that reminded me of a cheerleading skirt and thought I’d DIY it up with a stretch jersey dress… and then when I finally got around to doing it I didn’t have a dress that would work for the look so I found a …
I pinned this pretty beaded headband crown nearly a year ago and finally just the other day I got around to making it. My version is a tad different… first, my beads are a bit smaller, and second, mine has only two rows across the top instead of three and THIRD, my loops aren’t as …
I fell in love and pinned these cute sweet heart ankled jeans a year ago and it just occurred to me now to do a quick DIY for them, which I’m sure has already been done because it’s super simple, but I wanted a pair and I thought you might too. Because my jeans were …
After I made my DIY Glam Feather Canopy for our master bedroom, my cousin Kelley texted me asking about making one that was a little more affordable and kid-friendly for her daughter, Avery, my Goddaughter, who is nine years old now. I immediately thought of feather boas, since you can get them at your local …
Last year when I worked for Babble, they asked if I was interested in creating beauty looks for Halloween based on any of the Disney Princesses. OF COURSE, I was, because, how fun! And since I used to write for both beauty and style, and love a good DIY, I was able to leverage a …
* by guest contributor Michele Watson * check out her blog: No Model Lady I ADORE this simple but bold art project DIY Constellations by Michele. I didn’t even know you could buy pre-stretched black canvases! How cool is that? I think these would look fabulous and really POP on a gallery art wall mixed …
I saw this adorably cute cut-out sleeve and collar/pearl t-shirt on a model on Adam Selman‘s Instagram feed and fell instantly in love… and obviously, my next thought was, I CAN DIY THAT… and so I did. I have no idea who makes it or who the designer is, so if anyone knows, do tell …
Brass sea urchins, sometimes referred to as starbursts, are standard in many Mid-Century Modern design & sculptural art pieces. From lamps to mirrors to simple home decor accents and mostly wall art, made famous by Curtis Jere (and Jerry Fels) a.k.a. C. Jere, these exciting designs are iconic of the 1960s decor. For so long, …
Back in the ’90s wearing men’s button down shirts with cut off jean shorts and over a bikini as a cover up was what we lived in during the summer. If we were heading to the beach or just hanging out in a backyard pool swimming and tanning all afternoon after school, we’d inevitably be …
A few months ago I stumbled upon a loose, oversized open back sweater with bows tied down the back and promptly put it on DIY to-do list… I saved it on my desktop for months but of course I can’t find the photo anywhere now and wonder why I didn’t add it to my DIY …
The other day after finishing up a sweater DIY I wanted a pretty hanger in which to display it on for the photo and quickly whipped this up in about five minutes. I’m sure it’s been done before, since it’s just so simple, but it was pretty enough to share and actually made a nice …
With an influx of styles reminiscent of the ’70s, ’90s, as well as a return of the bohemian flair in all things decor, rocks, crystals, and gemstones are rather trendy at the moment. But they’re also really expensive. If you want the look for decor purposes and not so much for the healing quality of …
I don’t know about you, but Mother’s Day completely snuck up on me this year! I can’t believe it’s this weekend! I think maybe if I was a mom myself, I’d be more aware of it, but alas, I am only a mama to puppies… which is good enough for me! But in case you …
When I was about 19 years old, about one hundred years ago, I bought this vintage red silk duvet cover beautifully embroidered with flowers and birds from a friend who was an antique dealer for about $100. He said he was giving me a deal because this particular duvet cover once belonged to Billy Idol. …
