Neon Hearts

October 10, 2012 / 1 Comment

Happy Hump Day! It’s been an odd day but in a good way, I’m enjoying some tea right now and watching Youtube videos. I’ve been sucked into the UK X-Factor and really think the talent is out the roof. Probably more excited about it than the US X-Factor… it’s a little slower and I haven’t seen someone that really jumps out at me yet. I’ll wait and see of course. I sure love Simon and the addition of Britney and Demi is interesting, better than expected actually.

Anyways, it was a tad chilly today so I took out this comfy sweater, I bought it few weeks ago and just loved the pink heart, paired with the polka dot pants from Target. Can’t go wrong with that!

Quick snapshot from yesterday. The most comfortable shirt ever and warm enough for barely 70s weather. I think that’s a win/win situation.

Fall Fitted

While it’s still 80 degrees out today, I’m really excited about my new jacket. The cool pattern was what originally caught my attention, it also fit great. I think the fleece material is pretty cozy and I can’t wait to wear it come October and November. Stylish, cheap and comfy! ;)

Geometric

Today has been less than ideal but I’m going to make the best out of my night trying to relax. Today has also been very hot, Summer still lingers and I’m looking forward to lower temperatures this weekend for RCF.

I bought this fun geometric top over the weekend at Kmart. They have some really nice pieces this season, almost competing with Target if that’s even possible!

I’ve been so busy at work and not feeling up to anything at all, blogging and crafting wise. I came up with a few new ideas that I’m dying to try out and prototype so hopefully you’ll see those soon! Happy Tuesday :)

DIY: Leopard heart t-shirt

August 22, 2012 / Leave a comment?

Materials: plain t-shirt ($3.99), leopard square (or any other print) ($.99), pins, needle & thread, scissors, paper or cardboard for a template

Fold your paper in half and draw a half heart, cut around the line you drew – this will create a perfect heart shape. Note: make sure your paper and fabric are big enough for each other and also big enough for your t-shirt.

Pin the template to your fabric and cut around the shape.

Next, pin your fabric heart to your t-shirt – measure or eyeball it in the middle or where you like it best. Then sew! I opted to hand stitching my heart on, it would have been too much hassle with a machine, but feel free to use what you’re comfortable with.

And wear!

Maxi skirt surgery

July 31, 2012 / Leave a comment?

I thrifted this extra-extra-large leopard/animal print skirt maybe a year ago, I could wear it since it had a tie-string but all that extra fabric really weighted it down.

So finally I got my sewing cap on and cut off a huge chunk (practically in the middle) and made one simple stitch to patch it back up.

No tie-string necessary…

Originally, this was supposed to be a high-low skirt, but I don’t think I’ll be able to make another cut in it. I like it as is – boho chic goodness :)

DIY: Boho Sandals

June 06, 2012 / 1 Comment

Materials needed: pair of sandals, scissors, needle & thread, ball fringe trim ($3.99/spool), gold ball chain

For this project I used an old pair of Forever 21 sandals. I like the gladiator look but on warmer days it felt like wearing full shoes. Before putting on my boho touches, I cut off a few leather pieces to open up the foot area.

Before & after, looks much better!

The whole process took about an hour and a half. Each piece of trim and chain was sewn on by hand with a regular needle and thread. I matched the red for my trim and used as close of a brown to the leather as I had.

Looking at the final product, you cannot see where the chain connects to the straps

Magic!

Overall I’m very pleased with the final product – my fingers hurt to prove it! This project may take a little bit more patience but it’s so worth it, you can get the same expensive look of those fancy brand sandals but on the cheaps! Have fun with it :)

Side note: I may add some jingle bells to the zippers just for kicks.

DIY: Lace Trim Shorts

May 30, 2012 / 2 Comments

Happy Wednesday! After a long hiatus, I’m back hoping to share some fun projects with you in the next few weeks :) Follow along with the super simple tutorial below!

Materials needed: shorts, lace trim, scissors, needle and thread

For this DIY I used a pair of cut-off jeans, started by measuring the trim around the width of the leg. Add little extra length for the trim just in case, you can always overlap the lace.
