My original intention was to share this project last week (see: Sparkle & Fade) but like many creative tasks, it’s not unlikely to run into a bump or two. I would rather take my time and do something right – instead of rushing it – so I decided to wait until the beginning of the …
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 …
Equal parts edgy and sweet, I’m head over heels in love with this week’s DIY! The pearl flat backs – which I found in the Scrapbook section of Michael’s – add a feminine touch to this maroon Men’s beanie I picked up at Target. Inspired by the classic vibe of pearl details, I knew I …

Now that it’s officially fall, it’s time for some flannel projects! This one was inspired by a shirt I spotted on Free People’s website; I happened to have everything I needed to recreate it, so of course I went right to it. This is a great project for those of you learning how to sew, too. …
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 …
The most recent DIY inspiration post featured embellished backpacks – perfect for toting around your belongings when you’re traveling, at a festival or heading to work.
