Long-time readers and followers know that I adore unconventional, off-beat ideas. This project is no exception! With Easter (already) less than a month away, the egg tutorials have been rolling out left and right. I actually thought of this last year, but too late into spring — so this year, I’m sharing this well in advance. Even …

Metallic Pressed Flower Phone Case DIY
Happy Earth Day! I’ve been thinking about making this project for quite some time, but it’s only appropriate that I share it on April 22. Using hand pressed flowers from an Etsy seller, decoupage, and spray paint, I created a spring-time inspired, artsy phone case. Keep in mind that it’s practically inevitable that the spray …
DIY: Watercolor Hi Tops
When it comes to watercolor paints, I’ve always loved the way the colors blend and bleed together. So, why not transfer the look into a project? And since there’s nothing as classic as a pair of white Chucks, I decided to apply that idea on a brand new pair. I used 3 colors of RIT …
diy: Ombre Dyed Shoelaces
This quick DIY was created in conjunction of the next s&p project, Watercolor Hi Tops. Instead of leaving the shoelaces plain jane white, I thought it would be fun to bring in some color (just in time for spring!)

I’ll have an item, and create something to specifically style with …
DIY: Floral Jeans
Now that spring has officially rolled around, my love for florals is in it’s prime! I’ve been experimenting with stencils quite often lately, so I couldn’t help but make a flower printed garment for the season. The great part of this project is that you can use any stencil you’d like (leaves? daisies? filigree?) …
DIY: Painted Floral Purse
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 …
diy: Watercolor Petal Necklace (Lanvin Inspired)
This totally reminds me of spring and warm weather and sunshine… all of which I would love right now. It was inspired by this Lanvin Ribbon & Pearl Drop necklace, on the right. It’s also $450 at Nordstrom.com. I instantly thought of the fake flowers I used in a fascinator and birdcage veil for my friend’s …
