Here’s a true story: I like embellishing things that typically aren’t embellished. Notebooks, jackets, coffee mugs… you name it. Making “jewelry” for autumn boots is one of them. These chain boot harnesses require basic jewelry-making skills, and can be easily removed or replaced. See how I made them, below! Supplies: – 3-in-1 Jewelry Pliers – …

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 …
Recently, I dressed up a pair of plain boots with materials that I already had on hand… jersey fabric, random chains, and pendants! I love the creative vibe this project gives off.
