Words can’t express how stoked I am for the autumn season. It’s my favorite time of the year; not just because of the pumpkin coffee and apple picking, but I love being able to layer and feel so much more comfortable during the day. This Lace Trim Plaid Top DIY combines fall and summer elements …

DIY: Off-the-Shoulder Top (from a long sleeve shirt)
I know, I know…New York just had a snow storm, and I’m over here making summer tops. Something tells me that I’m ready for the cold weather to be done. I still have a couple winter DIY’s brewing for the next few months – but when I thought of this idea, I was too excited …
DIY: Chevron Studded Jacket
It’s kind of funny how some projects work out. The alternating dome and pyramid studs on this jacket wasn’t my original plan — but I’m so glad it became a plan. I actually didn’t have enough of either style to make 5 rows on both sleeves. But then I thought, why not combine the two? I think …
DIY Studded Outline Sweatshirt
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 …
DIY: Stenciled Leather Jacket
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 …
DIY: Shoulder Panel Denim Vest
This week’s inspiration is none other than granny chic tapestry prints. Designers such as Rag & Bone and Dolce and Gabanna have both sent tapestry prints down the runway, while such patterns can be spotted in an array of street style photographs. As promised, I created a project that presents this granny-inspired style in an …

Supplies:– White tank top (this obviously tie dyed before this picture was taken!)– Fabric dye (& rubber bands)– Iron-on letters (c/o My Next Style)– Scrap of t-shirt jersey …
Stetson DIY: Leather Trim Denim Shirt
A couple weeks ago, I stopped by the Stetson showroom on 38th in NYC. I absolutely loved how much vintage Stetson pieces were used as a decor, and in the archives. Everything from notes from past meetings to preserved hats to matchbooks. Thanks to the rad Daryl at Stetson, I was able to create a …
DIY: Dip-Dyed Flannel Shirt
Quick, easy, and can be done in an afternoon. I used a thrifted mens’ flannel (by Gap and purchased from Goodwill for a few bucks) and teal dye. Of course, you can use any color you’d like. This would work better with a plaid shirt that has white incorporated into the print, in order to …
DIY: Sweater Sleeve Denim Jacket
Some time ago I came across a $65 jacket on Urban Outfitters’ website. The jacket, made of a denim vest with sweater sleeves, is currently sold out. I added it to my “to do” list and kept a mental note to keep an eye for the perfect supplies. Last month, I found an Aeropostale denim …
