What Size Am I? Chic on the Cheap: Vintage Fork Napkin Rings With all the travel and holiday talk around here, a diy project has been long overdue. It’s a simple but good one because its relatively easy and (if you have the tools) cheap. Thankfully, I had the husband's brute strength to take care of all the hard bits. More than a year ago, I picked up a little collection of vintage spoons and forks for a few bucks at a junks store. My plan was to make one of those cutlery chandeliers but that never quite worked out. Materials needed: Old forks, metal stamp set, (I have this one but it doesn't seem to be sold anymore so I imagine this one would also work.), vice, small section of galvanized pipe, vice grips, rubber mallet, sharpie marker, nail polish remover. I should mention at this point that the cutlery I was using was quite heavy so it made this project more difficult than it had to be. It took some trial and error before we figured out the best way to get this accomplished. As you can see in the photos, this is a three handed job.

2010 January | New Dress A Day - Part 3 So, let’s be honest…jet lag pretty much affects me all the time whether or not a plane is actually involved. This time it’s legit, though. I’m completely winded from my little trip and needed something easy and quick for today. That’s when I went to this puppy… Day 61 - Before A basic long-sleeved, collared, button down sweater is what I went with for today. First I said, off with its’ sleeves! Off with their sleeves!! Then I remembered that I had this awesome crest patch in my kit o’patches (yes, I have a kit that houses some patches…I even shock myself sometimes) that I got years and years ago downtown in the garment district. Patch Adams! Now it was hitting the 70s today…I know, ridiculous as I had spent the week in lovely cold temps with a scattered tornado watch here and there, but when in Rome, right? Day 61 - After Five minutes, a few snips and a safety pin totally gave me a fab Thursday ensemble.

Olivine's Charm School My Daily Style I do love grey tees, printed jeans and ethnic bags. Here you have a look with all of them! This soft and light tee from Free People is amazing. Sometimes it’s worth spending a little bit more for better-quality products. Do you like my Tuesday look? …Que me gustan las camisetas grises, los jeans estampados y los bolsos étnicos es un hecho. La camiseta de Free People es de esas con buena caída. It seems that, finally, spring is here and I couldn’t be happier! Esta vez lo combiné con un pañuelo-corbatín de hace la tira de años, los botines que ya conocéis y un bolso que también es un viejo conocido y que últimamente llevo más a gusto tras haberle cambiado el asa. Today’s post is dedicated to Anja Rubik’s, one of my favourite models as I love her casual boho style. Let’s do some online shopping today! Last look of the week. I bought this dress at the end of last year and it’s now perfect for my first pregnancy months. Hello! Click to see more →

inside am-lul's closet Easily Dunn So I got this shirt in the 6th grade. And I keep on keeping it because I like the stripes or something…and maybe the colors. But I can’t wear it because a) it’s too short and b) it’s too thick to layer with anything. And in the middle of last week’s closet-purging, in a blinding stroke of genius, I decided to make it a cardigan. But the fastest, kind of laziest way possible. use a ruler and cut a line down the center of the front of the shirt. ok. you’re almost done. hem the edges with your hem tape, using the instructions that came with it. pick a button. then sew it on one of the sides where a normal button should theoretically go. it’s just for show so it looks like a legit cardigan. you’re not going to dilly-dally with making a button hole or anything because that’s just out of the realm of my patience. I know you probably found this on pinterest or some craft blog somewhere…or something to that effect.

A Beautiful Mess: OUTFITS Hey guys, guess what? It's time for another round of Fashion Mixology! If you haven't read our mixology posts before, the concept is this: We take 8 pieces of clothing and make 8 different looks with those pieces. Shoes and accessories don't count. The goal of this feature is to inspire confidence and ideas to stretch your wardrobe farther! It can be easy to wear items the same way every time, so we try to find ways to spice up our wardrobe. Look One/ This time of year I love finding ways to add a shirt or thin jacket to an outfit. Look Three/ I love love this cute trench style dress. Look Five/ Try tying a small knot in your front shirt tails. Look Seven/ This is how I plan to transition my trench dress and mint jeans into the upcoming autumn season.

Supongo que debe ser por el lugar, el mediterráneo y sus colores predominantes: el azul y los colores tierra. El toque de frescura del look se lo da sin duda el blanco de la blusa y los topitos de los tejanos. (Inciso)Ayer pasé una de las mejores noches de mi vida cómo no al lado de la galleta más loca de la galaxia, Aretha. (Hubo un momento de locura máxima cuando pusieron Summer Nights y a continuación Girl's, solo os diré que aun no siento las piernas...)pd. creo que un día haré un post sobre las nochazas que paso en la Sala Apolo, tengo fotos memorables ahí dentro En estas dos próximas semanas me veré obligada a abandonar el blog: el deber estudiantil me llama.
