DIY FRINGE LEATHER SKIRT. 3rd March 2014 I recently picked up a leather skirt in my local (and most favourite) thrift store for a just couple of dollars. However, it was an incredibly awkward just below the knee length and I knew straight away I wanted to cut it into a mini – I mean, who doesn’t love a staple leather mini? Rather than just doing the old chop straight away, I decided to experiment with one of my favourite trends of the season – leather fringing. Seen all over the runways from Celine, to Valentino, to Altuzarra, to Gucci - fringing is clearly the jam this season. In an ode to what is soon to come (or has done so already – seemingly prematurely – according to net-a-porter), I decided to do a little in-between Before & After project by trimming this skirt into a little fringed number, as a super fun stepping stone between midi and mini.

What I love about this fringed project is that it’s so, so (soooo) easy. Pin It This was the inspiration, a little bit of Vally and and little bit of Gucci. Pin It 1. DIY LACE PENCIL SKIRT. 16th June 2014 I recently got my hands on some pink lace fabric and knew immediately what Burberry inspired item I would be slapping together on my sewing machine (and you probably knew too – after this admission). And what could be more appropriate for summer than a lace pencil skirt, made in an ultra feminine hue of pastel pink?
