This week’s inspiration is none other than granny chic tapestry prints. Designers such as Rag & Bone and Dolce and Gabanna have both sent tapestry prints down the runway, while such patterns can be spotted in an array of street style photographs. As promised, I created a project that presents this granny-inspired style in an …

Stetson DIY: Leather Trim Denim Shirt
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 …
diy: Oversized Bow Skirt
Earlier today, I shared this week’s DIY inspiration – BIG bows! Oversized bows are a great way to make a girly statement to practically any outfit. Something I love to do is scope out awesome skirts or dresses at the thrift store and shorten them to a more wearable length. I snagged this particular skirt …
diy: Gilded Arm Cuff
Come summer time, I love dresses and tank tops just as much as the next girl. However, the fun opportunities for more jewelry make me love summer even more. Arm cuffs have always been a favorite of mine – I’ve made quite a few with stretchy string and metal beads. They add a funky, interesting …

DIY: Beaded Sunglasses
Embellished frames are absolutely everywhere this summer. A staple festival piece, for sure. That trend has the actual frames covered, but what about the rest of the accessory – in other words, the arms? To me, the arms of a pair of shades are almost like blank canvases…so much can be done! To …
DIY Daisy Chain Necklace
This week’s inspiration is all about beads…lots of them! Yesterday, I shared some inspirational photos involving intricate beaded pieces. Of course, the projects here at s&p will be much more practical in terms of tutorials, but I couldn’t help but fall in love with the gorgeous beaded accessories. Today, I’m starting off the bead …
diy: Blanket Print Clutch
Earlier in the week, I posted the Blanket Denim Jacket – an easy way to incorporate the long time blanket pattern trend that has been going on for quite some time. Because I had so much fabric leftover, I thought I’d whip up an over sized rectangle clutch and share it on s&p. I love …
DIY: Blanket Denim Jacket
While summer is well on its way, I’ve always found that denim jackets are the perfect all year round staple. I often wear layers in the fall and winter, but in the spring and summer – they’re ideal for those chilly nights. For this project, I took a little inspiration from the blanket print trend …
