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 …
diy: Python Print Sunglasses
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. Photo Credit: SallyHansen.com I’ve seen …
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: Galaxy Handbag (and heels!)
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 …
diy: Placemat Envelope Clutch
You know you DIY too much when you look at a placemat and think of accessories…not food, tables or eating. I visited my cousins in Canada a few weeks ago and found a burgundy, pyramid-stud-looking place mat at the dollar store. It was only a $1.25 CND, and the USD conversions aren’t that far …
bella diy: Studded Shoulder Top
I love love love basics. Maybe it’s because they’re so easy to customize, or maybe because I know they’ll match with everything. Either way, I like my basics to be well made and comfy. If you’re the same way, check out Bella – I love the aesthetics of this brand. Their clothing is simple but …
diy: Tye Dyed Lace Strap Tunic
First off: This can either be a tunic or top, depending on the size and fit of the tank top you used. I decided on a Men’s shirt that I’ve had for a few years, so it fit like a tunic on me. You can use an oversized or true-to-size tank top…whatever you’d like! …
feature: Glitter Magazine, out now!
(Thanks, Sarah!) “Glitter Magazine is a National Teen Magazine featuring fashion, beauty and entertainment news for girls 13-17″ The next time you’re at Barnes & Noble, take a look at the latest issue of Glitter Magazine! I have an interview and a DIY feature. I was going to wait until I get the magazine to …
sharpie diy: Geometric Lace Top
I think you’d agree that Sharpie markers are a staple in every home (and office, and classroom, and studio)…well, I’m beginning to think their new fabric markers – Stained by Sharpie – should be a staple in every DIY’ers supply stash. I had an opportunity to try out these markers, and have created a few projects to share …
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: Side Lace Sweatshirt
I realize it’s July…but you know those chilly summer nights like to sneak up on us once in a while. I’ve had this navy blue Hanes sweatshirt for a while, so I thought it’d be perfect to make a semi-casual cover up for those nights. I also had some lace leftover from the Ombre …
