While browsing Anthropologie, I came across this bracelet ($28). I happened to have all of the supplies except the bangle, which I picked up at Michael’s for $4. Even if you bought all of the supplies, your total would probably be barely half of Anthro’s version. There are endless color possibilities when it comes to …

diy: Spiked Crystal Ring
By now, most of you already know that I love anything that mixes edgy with feminine. So it’s no surprise that I couldn’t help but make a ring inspired by a Tarina Tarantino piece, which can be found here. Priced at $176, it’s the perfect combination of spikes and crystals. I’m loving this combination…so …
DIY: Lanyard Double Chain Bracelet
This project brings back memories, in more than one way. 1) I loved lanyard when I was a kid, and I clearly remember making sooo many keychains and bracelets. 2) This DIY reminds me of S&P’s first ever project, the Braided Chain Bracelet, from last summer. And 3) My entire bedding set during my Freshman year of college …
diy: Painted Seashell Earrings
Nothing says summer like seashells, especially in a bright shade of coral. These earrings are handmade versions of the “SHREVE,CRUMP & LOW Estate Collection Coral Shell Clip Earrings“, found on 1stdibs.com. Super cute, but also $4,250. Obviously the 14K gold might have something to do with it, but I could personally care less …
diy: Stacked Barrette Necklace
I know I’ve been going kind of crazy with the in depth sewing projects lately…so here’s a simple, easy necklace. While running errands yesterday, I stopped by Dollar Tree to grab some packaging tape, & spotted this pack of 3 barrettes (for $1). I instantly thought of a mod, retro inspired statement necklace – …

This totally reminds me of spring and warm weather and sunshine… all of which I would love right now. It was inspired by this Lanvin Ribbon & Pearl Drop necklace, on the right. It’s also $450 at Nordstrom.com. I instantly thought of the fake flowers I used in a fascinator and birdcage veil for my friend’s …
DIY: Ribbon-Wrapped Paperclip Necklace (Anthropologie Inspired)
Just wanted to share my version of Anthropologie’s $168 Acrobatics Necklace. Instead of using vinyl, I used silk ribbon, and opted out from adding the extra paperclips for “fringe” effect around the necklace. HOW I DID IT: I wrapped silk ribbon around jumbo paper clips, and secured them with hot glue. Using small jump rings, …

DIY: Pin Cluster Ring
If you’re into band merch or anything in the DIY world, you probably have a few buttons/pins laying around. I whipped up a few rings using pins and items that you most likely have – clear nailpolish and some beads. Essentially, the clear nailpolish sort of acts like clear craft resin, which is often used …

For this designer inspired DIY, I opted to use some pretty, floral tooled pleather I’ve had for quite some time – along with some wood shank buttons – for a more natural, bohemian look. Of course, you can use any kind of pleather/leather you’d like! Carly Cuff by Julie K. HandbagsCoutureCandy.com$62 Supplies:– Leather/pleather of your …
DIY: Cord and Chain Double Wrap Bracelet (CC Skye Inspired)
The Braided Chain Bracelet tutorial that I posted back in August was so well loved, that I decided to do yet another bracelet tutorial. This one doesn’t involve braiding, but it uses the same concept of incorporating some sort of thread/cord into chain. (By the way – Check out S&P’s Facebook fan page for an …
