While summer is well on its way, I’ve always found that denim jackets are the perfect all year round staple. I often wear layers in the fall and winter, but in the spring and summer – they’re ideal for those chilly nights. For this project, I took a little inspiration from the blanket print trend …
I am SO excited to share this project, because it’s inspired by something out of the ordinary (at least, in the world of fashion). A couple months ago, I saw a photo of cookies decorated with gorgeous icing flowers. They looked delicate, and had vintage chic vibe to them. After doing a little research, I …
This necklace was inspired by a Tarina Tarantino piece I recently spotted on Instagram. It reminded me of these rose embellishments that are at Michael’s in the scrapbooking section. I chose red for this project – just in time for Valentine’s Day – but also made some “darker” versions in black and gray. Weatherstaff Floral …
As of last autumn, the hardware store has become a new source of inspiration for me. I have quite a few projects lined up using odds and ends found at the hardware store, all of which are still fashion/home decor related. I’m excited to share them! Past hardware store related projects included the Wood Coaster …
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!

There’s a really good chance you’ve seen the amazing studded trench coats from Burberry’s Spring 2011 line. I think it goes without saying they’re pretty awesome: Burberry.com, SS11 Runway Collection Left to right: $7,295 $5,795 $12,995 Even if I had that pocket change laying around, I don’t think I could ever bring myself to drop …
This project was inspired by two things: this pair of earmuffs I found on BrownsFashion.com a few months ago, and having really cold ears during New York’s chilly winters. I can’t remember the exact cost of the inspiration piece, but it was definitely pricey -a couple hundred US dollars, if not more. This version will cost …
I found these ballet flats on shopzoeonline.com by Lanvin – the chains wrap around the ankles, adding a little bit of edge to the usual ballet flat. They were cute…and $725….and most definitely DIY-able. My own version is much more toned down in terms of the chain thicknesses, mainly because I preferred a subtle, …
This project is (somewhat) inspired by the Harrison Ring by Dannijo, which is available at ShopZoeOnline.com for $155. I decided to make my own DIY statement ring with the same general concept as the $150+ original, using sew-on faceted gems. I say “general” because the concept of my version would have been more similar to the original …
The latest jewelry trends seem to consist of mixed media: fabric or ribbon weaved in and out of chains of all different colors and thicknesses. I loved this braided chain bracelet by Aurélie Bidermann; strands of thread at incorporated into a curb chain, so that the chain is essentially the third strand of the braid. …
