I fell in love with Oscar de la Renta’s Rose Necklace when I saw it on video from their Spring/Summer 2013 collection runway show last year (which is now available for sale). In addition, after seeing J.Crew’s Beaded Rose Necklace in their current Spring/Summer season, I just couldn’t resist but to try a version of my own.
Thought I’d inspire you on a weekend DIY project that is fun and edgy. I was shopping on SSENSE and came across this Alexander McQueen Dusty Rose and Gold Tassel Key Ring. I have a tiny obsession with skulls and also had a few left over from other past projects (see skull and studded shirt). So I thought I’d take a stab at re-creating my own. I am no Alexander McQueen of course and my version is certainly not made of gold, but I really liked the way it turned out and have attached in to my studded purse since.
I originally created this DIY Heart Stamped Ombre Shirt for Fashion Parkway. However, soon after this project went live. Fashion Parkway shut down, therefore, it’s unfortunate that I don’t have the original tutorial. The steps of this project is super easy, I’ve outlined it for you here. I hope they make sense even without the step by step photos!
Although I’m not a huge fan of early February, primarily due to the yucky weather, but I do have to say, one thing I love about this time of the year is the new introduction of Spring Collections everywhere. In a recent post, I picked out some of my favorite picks from J.Crew. A quick visit to the mall this weekend also got me loving H&M’s affordable Spring looks.
Another DIY project inspired by one of my favourites – Anthropologie (see my last Anthro inspired DIY Heart Print Jean project). I saw this Sparkling Strands Wrap Watch and I had to try it myself! I also liked the fact that I was able to refashion my old watch that I haven’t worn in years, a great way to update one you already have tucked away.
If you’re looking to get crafty today but don’t want to spend a ton of time on a DIY project, why not try this Express DIY project? This project takes less then 10 minutes to do and require very little instructions!
Thought I’d start the weekend off with this “What to Wear With” post around my most favourited DIY project of the year – DIY Heart Print Jean. Thanks so much for all of your comments on that project and I’m so glad to hear that some of you tried it out on your own and also some of the suggestions you’ve sent over. I’ve put together a few inspirations for your when sporting your on DIY Heart Print Jean – perhaps on date night this weekend? Or on an upcoming Valentine’s Day event? Either way, I hope you enjoy!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I had an uneventful one, but did manage to go on a mini shopping spree at J.Crew (I picked up 7 items at 60% off!). I want to thank everyone for their wonderful comments on my last DIY project – heart print jeans. Everyone loved them and many great opportunities came out of it. I hope to bring you more great DIY project this year, so please continue to check back.
Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I thought I’d start the week off with this cute DIY to add to your closet. I stopped into Anthropolgie a few weeks ago and saw this pair of super cute heart printed jeans by AG Stevie. So I decided to try it myself. I am extremely happy with the results and they looked even better on!
Want to refresh your winter wardrobe without breaking your piggy bank? Why not take some of your existing coats and give it a new look instead? I’ve accumulated so many coats over the last few years, unless they’re classic, timeless pieces, I’m going to work on refashioning a few pieces.
