For the past few years, I’ve been storing my tea bags in a large tin container covered in vintage floral fabric. The fabric was fun, but at the rate that I drink tea, it was never completely full. I just felt like the tin was bulky and taking up too much space. Yesterday, I came …
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 …
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 …
Here’s a guest post from the wonderful Lana over at Lana Red Studio! We met at a Ted Baker Summer 2013 Preview event back in the Spring. She was interning in New York for a few months, but is actually from Amsterdam. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to catch up again before she went back home, …
Now that the holiday season is into full swing, I’m sure many of you are feeling the festive craziness just as much as I am! (“holidaze”, as I like to call this particular season). I tried to be good this year and start my gift making in early October, but I quickly learned I should …
Here’s a little side project that I whipped up yesterday while I snowed in! A tiny terrarium that can fit in the palm of my hand. The glass portion is actually an upside down candle holder. A great, inexpensive alternative to most glass containers (especially those specifically made for terrariums). I cut out a green …
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!). I have yet to start using it, mainly because I felt like it could use that extra something. I decided …

I’ve always found it so interesting how past projects can inspire future tutorials. It’s even more intriguing when the latter project is completely different! This DIY – made with PVC tubing from Home Depot – was actually inspired by the Vinyl Tube Bracelets from almost exactly a year ago. With just a little fabric and …
Earlier in the week, I shared this week’s DIY inspiration: coin charms. As I stated in the original post, I adore the cultural, bohemian vibe of coin charms. This project is actually a play off of a past studs & pearls project, the Faux Braided Bangle Bracelet. Creating a similar tutorial actually wasn’t the initial …
Well, it’s that time of the year again. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m already on my gift making grind! I’ve finally learned the importance of making your cards and gifts as EARLY as possible – because, before you know it, it’s December and we’re all scrambling around like no other. I know …
