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. It’s a no sew project, unless you …
With summer well on it’s way, I thought of rounding up some of my favorite summer DIY’s from the past few years. Here are 9 of my top picks! Lace Aviators, inspired by a $295 Valentino pair. Made with nail decals! Ombre Lace Shirt…because you can never go wrong with dyed lace. This is …

Nothing makes me geek out more than totally transforming old clothes. (Or any item, really.) Extra points for turning it into a trendy piece that would cost 5 times more in stores! Take this off-the-shoulder project, for example. It was made with a Men’s denim button down, thanks to fusible webbing tape and elastic. Yes, that means it’s …

I’m that girl when it comes to shopping. It takes everything within me to internalize my ramblings about making your own stuff — especially jewelry. Of course, I get that DIY isn’t for everyone… but that’s why tutorials exist, right? For this DIY, I was inspired by the millions of chokers out there & re-purposed an old bandanna. It’s no-sew & ridiculously cheap. Win. …
Music festival season is in full force, doubling as prime time to get making and crafting. I’ve been an avid show goer for many, many years; tiny shows in dive bars and basements are some of my favorite things. Yet, I can’t deny the awesomeness of a day-long (or weekend-long) event all about the tunes. …
When you dabble in different types of projects, it’s easy to build up quite the supply stash. I know you feel me on this one.
