Alexander McQueen Fall 2010 – 2011 Shoes. The ornate nature of these Alexander McQueen Fall 2010 – 2011 shoes has me speechless.
The Object Fetish by SHOWstudio: Alexander McQueen Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 Shoes video blew me away but I didn’t realize how extensive the ornate shoe collection was. I’d love to see these up close. I’m so curious about the materials used. The heels look like they are made of plastic. I can’t believe they would be some kind of metal, seems that would be too heavy. Images: tooklookbook.com.

Today, we will be making a DIY circular skrit. But with lining. I know I already made a tutorial on sewing a circular skirt but this will come with actual fabrics and sewing.

Maison des Rêveries: vertebrae hoodie (DIY) One of my favorite things to throw on under a leather vest or jacket is a hoodie - perfect for those days when it's a little chilly out but not cold enough for a coat, or you just want to be a little incognito under your hood.
I decided to amp up my go-to AA hoodie with some studs and chains and after seeing the finished result, I've decided it's totally taken on a personality, like the former's bad-ass long lost twin. Plus, giving new life to old basics is really good for my shopping detox. Here's how I did it: What you'll need: Grey thread, Needle, Pliers, Scissors, 1/2" cone studs, silver chain, ruler, white chalk pencil or tailor's chalk.

I still love the orange buttons for this jacket, but the closure just needed to be slightly more dramatic than plain ol' buttons. I shared before that the pattern was from the Etsy shop Heidi and Finn and boy, was it a good pattern. First, let me share Junebug's Jacket. The closure is supposed to be a big fabric bow, but Junebug is not the biggest fan of big bulky pieces on her clothing so I adapted to suit her pickiness.
Love it, right? You probably want to make one too, huh? 2. Yay for giveaways! P.S. Atelier Versace Fall 2010 Lookbook. Jolis Paons. ” For my Creative Processes class I designed and made this paper dress purely out of phonebook paper!
