How to Find the Right Bra for Your Dress – MichellePhan.com Awhile back, I received a message from a MichellePhan.com reader named Lisa asking if I could create a bra guide. I’m happy to say it’s finally here! With so many types of bras out there and even more dresses, it’s hard to know what style to pick. Just this summer, cutout dresses, sheer necklines, and backless maxis have been popping up all over the place. Now you can finally wear them without those pesky straps and hooks showing… Low Back/Backless Bras: Dresses and tops with low (or no) backs call for a clever bra design. Convertible Bras: Instead of buying a separate strapless, racerback, and halter bra, why not go for the ever-popular convertible design? T-Shirt Bras: T-shirt bras and other seamless types of bra are perfect for lightweight cotton and jersey fabric dresses. Plunge Bras: Every girl should own a plunge bra for date nights or formal events when you wear a low v-neck or wrap dress. Hopefully this guide will come in handy the next time you head to the mall. <3 Mish

5 Favorites: Home DIY Projects – MichellePhan.com It used to seem like people were either crafty or they weren’t, that people were artists or not. But these days anyone can pull off a DIY, even if they aren’t used to creating. I’m sure I’ve said it before, but home should be your sanctuary, your happy place. For me that means a bright, modern space, calming colors, and lots of expressive details. In honor of home sweet home, this week I’ve rounded up 5 DIY tutorials that would make any home the ultimate space. Be sure to let me know if you try any of them! 1. I love the ombré effect of these DIY candlesticks, not to mention the gorgeous teal color. 2. Accent walls are one of the easiest ways to dress up a bedroom without doing a full remodel, and you can even find ones that are suitable if for rentals. 3. Speaking of geometric, here’s another way to easily dress up a wall. 4. You’d never be able to tell, but these concrete planters are actually made from sprinkler guards found in the home improvement stores. 5. <3 Mish
A Field Journal: In the Lane Snow is Glistening Subscribe Subscribe via email Subscribe via RSS feed Follow on Blogger Email Me About Me Friday, December 25, 2009 In the Lane Snow is Glistening This morning, snow is glistening in a miniature Christmas village. They all have mica flake rooftops, vellum window panes, and acrylic painted siding with a fine dust of white glitter. Of course every glitter village needs a forest of bottlebrush trees. I also found a bottle brush wreath on sale for a few dollars and I couldn't resist. I hope you've enjoyed this little tour.

DIY Washi Tape Laptop Keyboard Look whose little old MacBook got a facelift this weekend! I spotted this idea from minifanfan on Making It Lovely last week and just had to give it my own spin. I purchased my Japanese washi tape from Le Box Boutique on Etsy. There are hundreds of washi tape sellers but I chose Le Box because they allow you to purchase tape by the foot rather than having to purchase the entire roll. They were very easy to interact with and I would definitely recommend them if you’re looking to purchase washi tape! I chose these ten patterns but only ended up using eight of them on my keyboard. I first thoroughly cleaned my keyboard with rubbing alcohol to remove any dirt or oil that might keep the tape from sticking. I originally wanted to do all the keys, including the small keys in the top row, but the tape seemed to have a harder time sticking to the small keys. This project was a bit tedious but simple – perfect for a few hours in front of the tv. What do you think? Tagged as: craft, diy, tutorial
