My love for plants has always been strong. But for whatever reason, it’s been in full force during these last few months. Like, growing-radishes-and-chamomile-in-my-small-apartment kind of full force. This means 9873284 more botanical DIY projects are on the way, obviously! So, for this week’s craft tutorial, I whipped up a little air plant holder with air drying …
Sushi: You either love it or you hate it. Seafood isn’t for everyone, so I totally get it. I happen to love it, so I’m always down for sushi-inspired recipes. I mean, one of the best things about living in SF was the sushiritos… seriously. Like the rest of the foodie world, I’m also a huge fan …
It’s no secret that I love a good designer hack. Extra points for when it costs next to nothing. Either way, it’ll almost always set you back a fraction of the price. You’ll also get a dose of inspiration that you wouldn’t have had otherwise. This is exactly why I’m obsessed with DIY. A while …
Anklets are so underrated. There, I said it. Maybe I’m biased because I’ve always loved the double-anklet look. Exhibit A: DIY Rhinestone Anklet Set. Exhibit B: Sequin Ankle Straps. I’ve always felt like they’re the underdogs of jewelry pieces. It seems like necklaces and earrings always steal the spotlight. Granted, anklets can go unnoticed if …
When Wild Amor launched in 2010 as Studs & Pearls, my main focus was designer-inspired DIY projects. Most of the tutorials were based off of high-end items, but basically anything store-bought was fair game. It was the peak of the DIY blog movement, and designer hacks were all the rage! These days, I’ve broadened the …
For someone who doesn’t drink a lot of alcohol, I really like boozy dessert recipes. It has a lot to do with the creativity aspect. Sure, cocktails are fun and delicious… but wine ice pops? Guinness beer cupcakes? Whiskey coffee frosting? Yes, please. I’ve made all of these concoctions several times, and the love never fades. …
From coconut cinnamon bun smoothies to pumpkin sunbutter chocolate cups, healthy sweets are kind of my obsession. I also love how you can control the flavor and sweetness – something that I appreciate about homemade food in general. So, when matcha LOVE asked me to whip something up with their culinary matcha, you know I …
The spring vibes are real, people. After my first winter back in New York from California, I’ve been impatiently waiting for warmer weather. Granted, I’m one big sneeze-ball during this season… but something’s gotta give. All the delish spring treats will be worth it! Exhibit A: these charming bird’s nest cookies. I’ve seen these around …
Guys, it is officially spring. Finally, finally, FINALLY. I’m way too excited to start using more natural materials in my projects. (I’m also stoked to not be an ice cube, but that’s another story.) And while I’m all about greenery like moss and dried flowers, I have a soft spot for feathers. … Oh, and …
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 …
What would the crafting world be without safety pins? I know I’d be pretty lost without them. They’ve saved the day when I’ve tried (over and over again) to get the perfect fit on a piece of DIY clothing. You know how it goes. So when I spotted a $168 Free People star studded pullover, …
