I love mixing and matching fabrics in a piece of clothing. I’ve always wanted a denim jacket with leather sleeves, and I recently realized I have all of the things I needed to make one. This wasn’t originally going to be DIY for s&p, but I figured I’d share the process if you’d like …
One thrifted turtleneck knit sweater = arm warmers, headband, leg warmers and a circle scarf! Supplies: – Turtleneck knit sweater. I purchased mine at Goodwill for just $2.99. – Scissors – Matching thread – Needle or sewing machine – Sewing pins Arm Warmers: For the arm warmers, I cut off the ribbed …
I call these “faux turban” headbands because they aren’t wrap around headbands made of only fabric. They can also pass for a head scarf tied around your head (because of the middle knot). In reality, they’re just conventional headbands wrapped in fabric, with a knot carefully placed. I made these because no matter how much …
Recently, I turned an old sweater and thrifted pants into this tank top and high waisted shorts. Hopefully it will give you a little inspiration for your next thrifting trip (or maybe even a run down of your own closet). This is also technically a 2-in-1 project, so you guys are in luck!

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 …

I love simple things that manage to make a statement. Two color jeans are the perfect example – plus, they’re so easy to make. It’s also a great way to bring a little life to an old pair of jeans (because you know almost all of us have at least one pair we don’t …
Surprise! I decided to start up a new feature of DIY manicures. I’ve noticed that when my nails make a little cameo in pictures, there’s always a few comments & questions on them. As with my fashion projects, they’ll range in complexity and time. I think it’ll be a fun way to mix things …
If you’ve been reading s&p for a while, you know that I love using unconventional, unexpected materials. Maybe not necessarily weird (well, sometimes…rubber snakes, anyone?) but the more random, the better. This one brings in a popular item from the beauty world – Sally Hansen Salon Nail Effects.

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 …
I have to admit – I’m typically not a glitter kind of girl. But as of a few days ago, that might have changed…or least when it comes to ultra fine glitter. I’ve always thought it’s pretty, especially when I’m looking at entire spectrum of colors. My heart totally skips a beat whenever I …
