Fashionary (@fashionarybook)
I have been a wee bit self-absorbed and sidetracked the past few days… but with all of the FW web coverage, I’m sure you’ve been sufficiently bombarded with the latest trends. It’s always an odd time of year to write about fashion because, on the one hand, it’s fashion week. NY, London, South Africa… everywhere....
Resolve and Accept
I don't usually make New Year's resolutions, but 'tis that time of year again . . .
It’s a Wrap (Cont.)
Konfetti/ Decor8/Simple + Pretty/ Lady and the Blog And the sporadic posting continues… as I attempt to organize my life, check out these awesome gift-wrapping ideas… Once Comcast (evil, evil, bad connection Comcast) and I work out our connection speed difficulties, I should be back and posting soon. Hope you are finding peace in the...
It’s a Wrap (With Extra Cheese)
I haven’t done the whole gift guide thing… one, because though I wish I did, I haven’t had the time… and also because just about every other website out there has one… what they don’t have (except design-milk, where I discovered this) is awesome hamburger wrapping paper!! What a cool idea. From Gift Couture.
Gettin’ Twiggy With It (Buy + DIY)
I am a big fan of unique silver bracelets… One of my favorites is a hand-made intertwining-vine bracelet I found at a vintage jewelry store. It’s breathtaking! It would look perfect with the crop of twig-inspired bangles that have been popping up at little shops on Etsy and in little boutiques on Charles Street and...
DIY: T-Shirt Scarf
For those of you with sewing abilities… behold: The DIY T-shirt scarf. Alas, I am not stellar with a sewing machine (hence my thwarted dreams of becoming a fashion-designer). This is a gorgeous scarf though. I totally want one. Any volunteers? Found on Pinterest and via Put Up Your Dukes.
DIY: Dress For Less
Confession: I haven’t actually tried this, but Marina (of Colour Heels Diary) and model Irina Zvidrina make turning this men’s shirt into an adorable dress look like a snap. Or button, as it were. I know I have been kind of flighty with the posts lately– alas, busy autumn! Anyway, this week I’ll announce the...
Luv AJ + Another Amazing DIY
I honestly can’t believe it’s already September… but all the signs are there: Cooler mornings, darker evenings, Fashion Week invites (which are seriously the only good thing about this time of year, in my opinion). I had such an amazing summer I really don’t want to let it go. Here’s to hoping that fall...
Weekend DIY
Honestly… WTF is one of my favorite blogs… I LOVE this wrap bracelet DIY tutorial. A fun, relaxing weekend project that you can wear to work on Monday!
DIY: cassette tape wallet
A cassette tape wallet…. why? Because when I asked an intern to copy a cassette tape for me the other day (yes, we still use cassette tapes at my job…. long, sad, un-environmentally friendly story….) he came back from the dual tape deck machine completely defeated…. “Uh… I don’t know how to work it… and,...
Cute Mini-Polaroid’s
I love curbly‘s mini Polaroid magnets… but think they’d be even cooler on a necklace! She used the DIY Pantone chip magnet tutorial from how about orange and tweaked it a bit… If only I had the time…
