  By now, most of you already know that I love anything that mixes edgy with feminine. So it’s no surprise that I couldn’t help but make a ring inspired by a Tarina Tarantino piece, which can be found here. Priced at $176, it’s the perfect combination of spikes and crystals. I’m loving this combination…so …

diy: Half & Half Jeans

  I love simple things that manage to make a statement. Two color jeans are the perfect example – plus, they’re so easy to make. It’s also a great way to bring a little life to an old pair of jeans (because you know almost all of us have at least one pair we don’t …

diy: Python Print Sunglasses

If you’ve been reading s&p for a while, you know that I love using unconventional, unexpected materials. Maybe not necessarily weird (well, sometimes…rubber snakes, anyone?) but the more random, the better. This one brings in a popular item from the beauty world – Sally Hansen Salon Nail Effects.   Photo Credit: SallyHansen.com   I’ve seen …

DIY: Lanyard Double Chain Bracelet

This project brings back memories, in more than one way. 1) I loved lanyard when I was a kid, and I clearly remember making sooo many keychains and bracelets. 2) This DIY reminds me of S&P’s first ever project, the Braided Chain Bracelet, from last summer. And 3) My entire bedding set during my Freshman year of college …

diy: Placemat Envelope Clutch

  You know you DIY too much when you look at a placemat and think of accessories…not food, tables or eating. I visited my cousins in Canada a few weeks ago and found a burgundy, pyramid-stud-looking place mat at the dollar store. It was only a $1.25 CND, and the USD conversions aren’t that far …

sharpie diy: Geometric Lace Top

I think you’d agree that Sharpie markers are a staple in every home (and office, and classroom, and studio)…well, I’m beginning to think their new fabric markers – Stained by Sharpie – should be a staple in every DIY’ers supply stash. I had an opportunity to try out these markers, and have created a few projects to share …

    Nothing says summer like seashells, especially in a bright shade of coral. These earrings are handmade versions of the “SHREVE,CRUMP & LOW Estate Collection Coral Shell Clip Earrings“, found on 1stdibs.com. Super cute, but also $4,250. Obviously the 14K gold might have something to do with it, but I could personally care less …

diy: Side Lace Sweatshirt

  I realize it’s July…but you know those chilly summer nights like to sneak up on us once in a while. I’ve had this navy blue Hanes sweatshirt for a while, so I thought it’d be perfect to make a semi-casual cover up for those nights. I also had some lace leftover from the Ombre …

diy: Stacked Barrette Necklace

  I know I’ve been going kind of crazy with the in depth sewing projects lately…so here’s a simple, easy necklace. While running errands yesterday, I stopped by Dollar Tree to grab some packaging tape, & spotted this pack of 3 barrettes (for $1). I instantly thought of a mod, retro inspired statement necklace – …

DIY: Ombre Lace Shirt

  Ombre. Lace. Flowy.   Summer, anyone?   I’m stating right here from the get go that this project is an adaptation of Mackenzie’s Lace Shirt DIY, over at Strokes of Serendipity. I have recreated this project with her permission! This shirt is more or less what Mackenzie made — I just used a different type of lace and dyed it. I’ve …
