DIY Studded Outline Sweatshirt

With a little inspiration from a $795 Isabel Marant sweatshirt, I recently whipped up this studded top with some iron on studs. It’s simple, but a great way to dress up a fairly plain sweatshirt. It’s also a great beginner DIY! Not to mention, if you’re looking for an intro on how to apply iron …

DIY: Glitter Ombre Dress

My original intention was to share this project last week (see: Sparkle & Fade) but like many creative tasks, it’s not unlikely to run into a bump or two. I would rather take my time and do something right – instead of rushing it – so I decided to wait until the beginning of the …

DIY: Stenciled Leather Jacket

A few months ago, I was wandering around Williamsburg with my good friend Abby. We stopped by Buffalo Exchange and I scored a Club Monaco leather jacket (and she found practically new Banana Republic jeans!).

This week’s DIY inspiration is all about pleats! On skirts, of course. Now that summer is wrapping up and autumn is well on it’s way, I figured one last skirt project was more than necessary.  As usual, this DIY looks a little more complicated than it actually is.

Stetson DIY: Leather Trim Denim Shirt

A couple weeks ago, I stopped by the Stetson showroom on 38th in NYC. I absolutely loved how much vintage Stetson pieces were used as a decor, and in the archives. Everything from notes from past meetings to preserved hats to matchbooks. Thanks to the rad Daryl at Stetson, I was able to create a …

Earlier today, I shared this week’s DIY inspiration – BIG bows! Oversized bows are a great way to make a girly statement to practically any outfit.  Something I love to do is scope out awesome skirts or dresses at the thrift store and shorten them to a more wearable length.
