DIY take 3.

One of my favorite things to do is find things lying around the house and turning them into something wearable again! This fall one of the big trends are DENIM SHIRTS / JACKETS. So i thought how could i revamp this into something I could wear casually and on a night out... here it is!

WHAT YOU NEED:

1. Denim shirt similar styles HERE

2. Scissors

3. Needle & Thread or Sewing machine (I sew by hand)

4. Spikes/Studs -optional to add your own twist

5. Ruler & Marker

1. Take your denim shirt and turn it inside out. (inside should be darker)

2. Take a marker and ruler and align it to how large you want the hole to be. I did mine right above the second button just to be safe (eek!)

3. Carefully take your scissor and cut along the line and try to be as neat as possible to avoid fringes !

4. Repeat steps on both sides and make sure each line is even to the other! Finally turn shirt right side out and it should look something like this! I personally haven't had the chance to sew in the seams so it there is a clean line, but you can easily fold over the line you cut on and sew to make it look like you bought the shirt with natural cut outs!

Pair this beauty with some leggings and fall booties 

OR

Tuck it into a maxi skirt ( I used a maxi dressed turned into skirt ) like this!

LOVE this look!

Burgundy Lips, Neon accents : 

Birthday fun + easy DIY accessory!

So a couple of weeks ago it was one of my best friends Meera's birthday and we all decided to surprise her with a party in Hoboken! We went to this lounge called Teak on the Hudson. This place was beautiful and the dj was awesome! Anyways... for the life of me I could not figure out what to wear but then thought you can never go wrong with leather pants and a tank right? So I finally decided on.. 

Pic is a little blurry (sorry!)

I paired an old pair of leather leggings from FOREVER21 (similar HERE) and an old target white tank. Accessorized this with my absolute favorite ZARA heels (similar but different color & newer season HERE), neon clutch (gifted) from KOHLS and my DIY revamp chrome necklace!

DIY FUN!

Hey guys! Its been a long long time since I've had a chance to post on here, actually its because I lost my password ahh! Too many social media accounts these days, super easy to lose usernames & passwords. Anyways I've been doing A LOT of DIY projects this summer & wanted to share all these super easy ideas! 

A lot has been inspired through recent NY fashion week, and random things I found around the house, hope you guys enjoy! I will be posting a new DIY hopefully every day this week! :]

Inspiration : Over the past couple of years I've noticed a lot of celebs rocking the Alexander McQueen Box Clutches. They are brilliantly gorgeous, with their unique charms and unforgettable shape. These box clutches are an easy way to add style to an either casual or dressy outfit.

My Creation : So this was a super easy creation I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner!

WHAT YOU NEED:

1. Old eyeglass case; size and color of your choice. (I prefer something that will at least hold my cellphone)

2. A set of jewelry pliers

3. Ring blanks similar to these.

4. E6000 glue

Make sure: Before gluing on these rings to adjust them to your own ring size !!

These were super easy to make, you could even add embellishments like skulls or old chain pendents like this awesome door knocker clutch!

Hope you guys have fun making your own! & Happy Friday!
