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 …
How-to Make a DIY Denim Wine Bag with Flowers
Denim DIYs are among my favorite to work on and create. I mean, who doesn’t have a pair or two of old jeans in the back of their closet that they never wear anymore… let alone, a bunch of scraps and “legs” lying around after we cut them all into shorts for summer? Denim is …
Refashion DIY // Open Back Lace Up Top
Okay, who remembers the early 2000’s? Let’s just start there 🙂 If you were at least say, 15 years old at the time, you might remember these tops, which were merely a piece of fabric in the front and laced up the back. They’re borderline apron tops really… I had a few that were fitted …
2 Cute Retro DIY Denim Ideas by Swarovski
Okay, these cute Swarvoski Denim DIY Projects are SCREAMING ’80s Summer to me, and I’m loving it. They remind me specifically of 1987-1988, when I think I was in the 7th or 8th grade, and wearing denim jackets with matching hair bows… matching earrings, belt, matching EVERYTHING. Not that I haven’t worn a denim jacket …
DIY // Make Your Own Romantic Ruffled Wedding Clutch Bag
Okay Lovecats, I’ve had this idea to DIY a pretty ruffled wedding clutch bag AND to give it away to one lucky bride, FOR-LIKE-EVER, but had the hardest time finding the perfect little base clutch from which to work with. But finally, a few months ago, I found it… and it’s perfect. It’s pretty but …
DIY Disco Glitter iPhone Case
As much as I love my iPhone 6 plus, it’s also quite huge, and finding a case for it that is not only pleasing to me, while also remaining on the slim side, is a bit difficult. I have this cute palm leaf case by Sonix but I hate the black sides, which show on …

Just a quick little post to share this DIY Gold Hair Pins feature in noveaux magazine‘s winter issue… How gorgeous is this cover?!? And onto this little feature, which of course, I can’t read, but I’m guessing -and well, hoping, lol- it says something similar to the instructions on my DIY tutorial. Find more at …
Gorgeous & Minimal Fresh Holiday Wreath DIY
It may be a little late for Christmas and Holiday crafts, but this minimal wreath tutorial was so pretty and so simple, I just had to share, even if I don’t use it until next year – at least I have my own reference. I found it originally via Bazaar.com: How to Make a Modern …
DIY Faux Fur & Feathers Bag Charm POM!
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 …

DIY Gift Idea // Minimalist Framed Floating Leaves & Flowers
I can’t imagine this is the first time I’ve seen something like this, but it feels new somehow with the bright green leaves and florals floating between glass suspended in beautiful frames. I love the blank space in between that will allow your wall to show through and would look gorgeous alone, in a group …
DIY Open Side Slit Sweatshirt
I have this sweatshirt in both black and in white and for some reason, I never wear the black one. I’ve worn the white one a handful of times, but I’m never happy with the way this one looks. Maybe it just feels too boxy and because it’s black it morphs into one lump while …
