When I was asked to share a project that was geared towards geeks and dudes, I immediately started contemplating the many interesting ways I could incorporate code into something. Let’s get started! Materials: 1 yard medium weight, smooth fabric (Keep color in mind, as you’ll be printing on it with black ink.)Freezer paperAn old tie disassembled carefully to use as pattern.

DIY Transparent Clutch Phil Oh spotted this elegant Charlotte Olympia Pandora clutch during Paris Fashion Week and we spotted a DIY. Prada, Chanel & Fendi seem to be seeing clearly too because let’s face it, nothing says “I ain’t got shit to hide” like a transparent clutch. You’ll start by drilling a hole at the top of the plastic box. Use a drill bit that is one size larger than the diameter of the bolt on the knob, otherwise the plastic might crack. Open the lid and slowly drill a hole in the center of the box with very light pressure. Push the knob through the hole of the box and replace the washer and nut. Voila!

High Functioning Coat Hooks - StumbleUpon Back in Los Angeles, any old coat rack or a few hooks by the door would do. Most of us would just toss a jacket in the back of the car in the winter months. But here in Vermont we need a little more. Many of the vernacular farm houses I visit have at least a half dozen hooks per person lined up in their mud rooms. Materials, for each hanger you'll need: One cleaned or refinished paint can. 2 screws long enough to reach into wall studs. Tools: Long handled screwdriver or screw gun with sufficient extensions to reach bottom of can. Step one: With the handle in a horizontal position, layout and make 2 small mounting holes at the top and bottom of the can within an inch or less of the edge. Step two: locate and mark stud position on wall for upper screw position. Step three: Screw through the upper hole of the can into the wall stud but not quite snug to the wall. Step four: Straighten the can and screw through the lower hole of the can into the wall stud snug to the wall.
this or that - thebeautydepartment.com Post + Photography by Amy Nadine, Graphic Design by Eunice Chun Have you ever wondered if there’s truly a difference when you wear matte or shimmer shadows? A lot of us have strong opinions as to which one we prefer, so I decided to do a little case study with these constants: Same eyeSame 4 shadesSame application The matte shadows are from my all-time favorite Stila’s In The Know Palette. So now that you can see both finishes in a way that you can really compare them, what do you think? It’s funny, when I work on the majority of my clients, I extend a wash of color from all over the lid out to the end of the brow and up to include the crease. <a href=" APPLYING ONLY ONE COLOR EYESHADOW, I PREFER TO…</a> For inquiring minds, the eye shadow I used above is Buxom Stay There Eyeshadow in Pug! photos: kohls, shoemint, zara; post by amy nadine; graphic design by eunice chun Summer is our favorite season to be carefree and have a little fun!
Faux Fur Peter Pan Collar Tutorial (with free pattern!) Inspired by vintage accessories, we came up with this cute Peter Pan collar. The pom poms are a favorite around here and add a fun touch. Not only is this a cute project, but it comes together quickly. You can easily use leftover fabric from the faux fur coat collar, as we did. In that tutorial, we drafted a custom collar to match a coat. In this one, we’re giving you a free pattern, making it a much faster project. Because this collar is tied on over a blouse, sweater, or jacket, it’s quite adjustable and would make an adorable gift. Download the pattern here or click the link at the bottom of this post.
