Last year for Delilah’s birthday, I got these adorable pewter lace up oxford style kids shoes for her and unfortunately she wasn’t a fan and rarely chose to wear them. I didn’t take it personally though, she has a fondness for all things pink and purple at the moment and I know she’ll grow into …
I LOVE this project from Holly at In the Fun Lane for so many reasons but mostly because these large matchboxes that are so handy to have around are also so ugly to look at! And since they last forever, you have to look at the ugly box for the longest time {oh oh oh, …
When I saw these Brian Atwood Flower Sandals {on sale in white for $860} I fell head over heels and then immediately thought about my DIY Flower Hair Clips I made specifically as decorations for my Christmas tree last year. I couldn’t resist whipping up my own pair because it was just too easy! Even …
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 can’t tell you how long I’ve been wanting to make myself a leather peplum belt. I think it’s been since the beginning of the year… and I finally have the time to get creative with some new DIYs, so I whipped one up the other day in about 30 minutes. I had plans for …
On a hunt for some chunky curb chain to use for another DIY project I had in mind, I found and bought this very thin copper chain of the same shape but very tiny in size. While it’s not right for the original project I had in mind, I think it’s lovely all the same …
I originally created this fun gold chain and hinge bracelet for SHIFT on BuzzFeed last week wherein I dueled with Geneva from A Pair and a Spare {one of my favorite fellow DIYers}. We weren’t told who we were matched up against but really, it’s more fun and creative than competition. Our only rule was …
Other jewels: Guy & Eva Joyce & Josephine bauble bracelets + various silver bangles. Vintage turquoise ring & wedding rings I was asked to participate in a DIY for an upcoming feature on BuzzFeed.com‘s sister site, “SHIFT” and with some specifications, I headed to the hardware store to challenge my eye for all things crafty …
A simple and fun way to add a little drama to your bare feet… however, I love the barefoot sandal even more when worn with a pair of classic pumps! Simply wrapped around my foot and ankle, I can wear any shoes {even ballet flats} and give them an entirely new look at relatively no …
Just thought a fun little gathering would be all the more festive with customized dip dyed chopsticks! Especially because, it’s relatively free! But shhhh… don’t tell Ralph’s that I snatched a handful of “free with Sushi purchase” chopsticks! I was hoping the Chinese food delivery the night before would come stocked with chopsticks but they …
An easy way to update a simple wallet, clutch or small leather good… or simply to add your own personality and individuality to it. It’s easy and quick and the design is only dependent upon your imagination! What You’ll Need… * Leather or faux leather wallet {Mine is a Christopher Kon Double Zip Wallet in …
These are one of two pairs of ballet flats in my closet… the other pair are actual ballet slippers. It’s not that I don’t like them, I do, but I have the hardest time finding a pair that not only fit my feet correctly, but that stay on and that I can actually walk in. …
Years ago I used to make little lingerie/pajama sets of tanks and underwear with ruffles – you can see some of them here, along with a DIY for the ruffle boy shorts & bikinis… but I always used ribbed wife-beater style tank tops rather than spaghetti strap tanks. I’ve had this pretty vintage lace trim …
I love a great t-shirt DIY and this one is extremely simple! As shown above, you can wear it two different ways… the first is simply sliced {and reminds me of one of my favorite artists, Lucio Fontana} and the second style, by creating pseudo-bows out of each sliced section. You can choose to wear …
seen with Kooba “Sabrina” bag, Guy & Eva necklace, Forever 21 Sunglasses and Rich & Skinny jeans ~ via flickr I have been DYING to make a cute peplum t-shirt for a few months now but just haven’t had a chance to. When I have an idea, if I don’t do it right away, it …
