Nothing makes me geek out more than totally transforming old clothes. (Or any item, really.) Extra points for turning it into a trendy piece that would cost 5 times more in stores! Take this off-the-shoulder project, for example. It was made with a Men’s denim button down, thanks to fusible webbing tape and elastic. Yes, that means it’s …
I’m that girl when it comes to shopping. It takes everything within me to internalize my ramblings about making your own stuff — especially jewelry. Of course, I get that DIY isn’t for everyone… but that’s why tutorials exist, right? For this DIY, I was inspired by the millions of chokers out there & re-purposed an old bandanna. It’s no-sew & ridiculously cheap. Win. …
Well, I may be no Blake Lively, but my handmade shirt is pretty darn close! I recently took on this Triangle Gem T-shirt project for Brit + Co and I have to say — it’s the perfect way to keep yourself busy. Am I little crazy for taking this on? Yes, probably. I hope I’m not …
Anyone notice how black and white grid prints have been everywhere lately? From Old Navy to Vince, this basic print has been making quite the impact. I’m a sucker for black and white, so naturally I back this trend 100%. What’s awesome is because it’s so basic, it technically won’t ever go out of style; …
If you’re anything like me, you own quite the collection of fabric scraps and remnants. And if you’re really like me, you like to put them to good use. So, for this week’s project, I put a spin on a pair of well-loved, black denim jeans with a few plaid flannel scraps. My finished project cost next …
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 …
Autumn is right around the corner, so I thought I’d wrap up August with one last summer project. This DIY involves a dress that I found at the thrift store for just 4 bucks. With the same method, you can use pretty much any button down dress, making the possibilities practically endless. It also …
American readers – are you ready for the 4th of July? I know I am! Make a patriotic tee with my Fabric Scrap Flag Top DIY over at eHow Style. I used a super comfy men’s shirt, scrap denim and a red bandanna to make an eye-catching number. All you need is an iron, a …
Photo Credits: Polyvore.com, TheOutnet.com From Isabel Marant to Michael Kors (left and right, respectively) – patchwork jeans have been spotted everywhere lately. I love the offbeat, artsy vibe to them, along with the different ways one can style a pair depending on their personal taste and preference. One of my latest projects …
This week’s DIY inspiration is all about pleats! On skirts, of course. Now that summer is wrapping up and autumn is well on it’s way, I figured one last skirt project was more than necessary. As usual, this DIY looks a little more complicated than it actually is. It’s a no sew project, unless you …
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 …
