I can not wait to wear this in Arizona, it is my best fitting bathing suit top I've ever owned! ***Update 4/23/12*** People keep wondering if this bathing suit top is actually "swimmable". This is by far my most worn swim suit top...it's been to the ocean in Mexico, swimming in the local lake, relaxing in countless hot tubs, swimming in chlorine filled pools in Arizona and much more, and it's still holding up perfectly!

Faux Fur Boot Cuff DIY | Tasha Delrae This season we have seen (faux) fur and shearling everywhere, which definitely excites me, but I didn't actually want to go out and buy some of these fur items knowing that trends don't stay forever (although I wish the fur trend would!!). This DIY project shows you have to make your own removable faux fur/shearling boot cuffs that can be made to fit a variety of your boots. The best thing about this DIY is how SUPER easy it is!! Materials and Supplies Needed -Faux Fur/Shearling approximately .3 meters or 12" of fabric (not the stuff in the trim section) -Hooks & Eyes that match/blend in with the fur -Hand Sewing Needle -Thread to match -Tailors Chalk -Paper -Pencil -Ruler -Scissors Instructions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. (This is how it should look) 7. 8. 9. 10. All done!! On the tall boots. On the ankle boots with the straps hidden On the ankle boots with the straps out And here is the inspiration for this project.

Glitter Under-Heel DIY | Tasha Delrae I've been wanting to try this project for quite awhile now, and finally found the time. I always love glitter, and I love the idea of a funky sole on a shoe because it's so unexpected, but totally not too "in your face". This project is a mixture of this glittered pumps DIY and this louboutins DIY....I call it mixing the best of both worlds!! Materials and Supplies Needed: -Mod Podge (I used the outdoor stuff) -Paint Brush -Glitter -Sandpaper (corse) -Paper Towel -Paint to match glitter (optional) -Pair of High Heels (preferable with a flat underheel) Instructions 1. 2. 3. The reason that I did it this way instead of painting the whole sole first and then applying the mod podge and glitter is because the mod podge will adhere better to the sole without an extra layer between it. 4. 5. Another idea would be to glitter the whole heel and platform like these ASOS shoes below. Go here for a better picture of these shoes. Let me know if you try this!!

Update A Sweater With Hand Stitching A lot of us have basics in our closet that do their jobs, but aren’t particularly interesting to wear. When London Times Fashion came to us for ideas about how to enjoy the new year by updating your wardrobe I knew this would be a great fit. It’s so easy to dress up boring looks with very little investment! This post is graciously sponsored by London Times Fashion. Version 1: Contrast Stitching Supplies: - boring clothes – sweaters are my favorite to modify - embroidery floss - embroidery needle - scissors You can see how boring (but cozy) this sweater is! I used embroidery floss for a few reasons. Embroidery floss is made of 6 strands, and it’s meant to be divided. The stitch used is called back stitch. Thread the needle and tie an overhand knot near the end. Stitch up through the sweater, try to go between threads instead of through them. Stitch in the opposite direction of where you want to go. Pull the needle through, pulling the stitch up so it’s neat, but don’t over-tighten it.
