Because Everyone Is Doing It

Because school is starting soon, I wanted to brainstorm on making everyday outfits a little bit out of the ordinary. First, Balenciaga Spring 2011. Now, Zara Winter Lookbook 2011. HonestlyWTF is my hero.

Hairy Situations

These back-to-school hairstyles keep me from cutting my hair. I wish my hair would grow out faster!

Why Retail When You Can DIY?

DIYs can be intimidating. So, today I'm listing the DIY projects I tried and recommended. Trust me, its foolproof!

Leather Wrap-Arounds

Advice: To me, longer wrapping of the thread at the ends looks more put together

Braided Hexnuts

Advice: Neon nylon thread from Home Depot can be used if want some more omph!

See-Thru Clutch

Advice: If no power tools in sight, can try renting it from Home Depot. If you are super nice, maybe the worker at Home Depot will let you do your projects on sight so you don't have to rent it.

Coffee Filter Flowers

Advice: Instead of using straws, try pens! 

Cardboard Deer Heads

Advice: Can use different colored/patterned cardboard for a different feel.

Sunjar

Advice: Use masking tape to create a design before frosting the jar. It'll leave a cool design!

Thirsty Thursdays?

Southern Living debuts an "Awesome Alternative" to a mimosa. Refinery 29 introduces the "Whiskey Smash" created by Claire Thomas of The Kitchy Kitchen. I'm preparing the mind, body and liver for a girl's day out at a nearby winery.
