diy: Stamped Geometric Jeans

I’ve been trying to figure out a way to spice up a pair of black jeans for a while, and I finally figured it out. The best part about this project is that you create your own stamp with thick cardboard, making it really inexpensive. I went with my classic fave of gold + black, …

diy: Mixed Fabric Denim Vest

Initially, I was going to do this little project on the side, but decided to photograph the steps for s&p anyway. It’s a fun alternative to the usual band shirt vest! For my version I used some floral fabric from a thrifted shirt to make it a little more feminine. See how I made it …

DIY: Lanyard Stitched Clutch

  This was one of those projects that I started without any real direction or idea as to what I was about to do. I’m actually really happy with the outcome, considering I kind of just winged it…but those are always the best kind of projects 😉 Alexander McQueen Ivory/Black Clutch, $1,850 Photo Credit: Polyvore/Matchesfashion.com …
