DIY Bleach Tie Dye Last summer, we were obsessed with shibori indigo tie dying. No, really . . . we just about dyed anything white in sight. So when Free People asked us to include a DIY in their guest blogger series, we knew a new tie dye project was absolutely in order. And as the weather is beginning to warm up, what better time than now to start experimenting with reverse tie dye using bleach! Black tees and tops: watch out! To make a grid-like pattern, fold the shirt like an accordion and bind it between two pieces of wood or other flat shaped objects. Before you start bleaching, make sure you are wearing gloves and working outdoors or in a well ventilated area.

Ruffle Flower Scarf I took a couple of my favorite projects and combined them into something for me. After all that creating over Christmas for other people, it was fun to make something for myself. Not that I don't enjoy creating for others, of course. I'm sure you know what I mean. I sewed two long strips of white knit fabric together, one on top of the other, using the method from my tiered ruffle skirt tutorial. The flowers are made the same way as the ones from the ruffle flower leggings. Here I am wearing it. I'm debating whether I should make one with bright colors. Check out this post I did for some visuals of how to get the basic scarf.

10 of the Best Drug Store Beauty Buys | MintLife Blog | Personal Finance News & Advice - StumbleUpon I have an apology to make: I used to be one of those girls behind the makeup counter of a big, fancy department store selling you over-priced beauty products. While I won’t say which brand I worked for, I can tell you that my uniform consisted of all black and way too much makeup. Hey, it was the 90’s, after all. Well, I’m here to make amends. Because, you see, not all department store makeup is better than the drug store version. In fact, a lot of drug store makeup is way better than the junk being sold in the department stores. The beauty industry is full of people pushing products that they don’t stand behind 100%. Also, celebrities rarely endorse products because, like the rest of us, they aren’t always picture perfect and no cosmetic company wants to be represented by someone who actually looks like the rest of us common folk. So, to make up for the error in my ways, I am sharing ten of my all-time favorite drug store beauty buys with you. L’Oréal Volumnious Mascara in Carbon Black
MODELOS Sin embargo, la realidad de este trabajo no es siempre como nos la presentan. Los sueldos millonarios, el lujo, las fiestas y los grandes viajes están sólo al alcance de un grupo muy reducido de supermodelos (conocidas popularmente como las top models), mientras el resto realiza un trabajo duro, mucho más anónimo y durante un periodo de tiempo más bien corto, ya que el mundo de la imagen "quema" muy rápidamente los rostros que presenta y siempre está ávido de caras nuevas. Naomí Campbell es una de las modelos internacionales que mejor encarna el sueño de la vida de lujo y excesos de las modelos. Es la estrella indiscutible de todos aquellos desfiles en los que participa, la niña mimada de las agencias y los diseñadores y no falta a ninguna fiesta nocturna que se precie. Sin embargo, su vida privada dista mucho de ser el cuento utópico de la muchachita descubierta por casualidad que llega hasta lo más alto y consigue una vida de lujo, fiesta y despreocupación.
Los 8 documentales sobre moda que no te puedes perder | Becaria de la Moda* Desde que La 2 emitió el documental de Vogue y su September Issue con Sienna Miller había querido hacer un post recopilando algunos de los mejores documentales sobre la industria de la moda. Y aunque en este post no están todos los que son, sí son todos los que están. El primero de todos es Unzipped (1995), el que se podríamos decir comenzó el idilio entre la industria de la moda y los documentales. Por primera vez un documental mostró el detrás de cámaras del mundo de la moda, y gracias a esto se ha convertido en una película de culto en el mundillo. En el film se muestra al diseñador con planeando su colección de otoño-invierno 1994 y en él le acompañan algunos pesos pesados de la industria como Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford o Kate Moss. Once años después de Unzipped, su director Douglas Keeve regresó a la pantalla grande con otro documental, Seamless (2005). Sé que me he dejado muchos y muy buenos documentales, espero hacer pronto una segunda parte.
