DIY Wednesdays


Rember that pink scarfy I wore last friday? Well I made that! I was so inspired by the collar style/ muffler scarves seen in all the korean fashion websites.




It was really simple, all I did was take a square piece of fabric fold it in half and sewed it together like a pillow-leaving neck holes. I'm sure i didn't do it exactly like this but if you want to make one this is all you need to do. Especially if you use a knit/jersey type fabric you don't have to finish the ends.

Here's the finished product

As you all can all see, my hair is very very curly! I decided to give the straightening a break for a while. I would brush my hair a it would just break and fall out. It was so unsettling! So I decided to wear it curly. People always tell me to always wear it this way, but I get bored and I can't do all the cute hair styles seen in the magazines

I want to try some things out with the curly hair, and I'll post my trails and tribs on here. I will also rock my faux bob because it's not so hard on my strands. But I really need to be nice to my hair. Does anyone have any cute curly style besides just wearing it down? The girl below has the right idea i guess...


ON ANOTHER NOTE

Is anyone else antsy for spring?? I know I am. So is poupee (and she's curly now too :D)




When I was looking through the Feb issues of Nonno, it just made me wish so hard that it was spring! (I can't wait to break out my nautical nonsense, oh why oh why did I let my mom talk me out of buying this shirt at uniqlo when I was in NY its everywhere and i want it so bad! I don't want to buy it from F21, uniqlo is better quality.)When I wake up the sun is out and I step outside and it's so cold >_<. Sometimes its too cold to be cute. Any one have the problem. I give kudos to girls who dress bangin EVERYDAY but somedays its sooo cold you just have to bundle up!!! I really want to get some cute outerwear that I can just throw on to be cute but to be easy! I really liked the letter on yesstyle for dear nikki, (even if the letter was just a bit ignorant) she usually has pretty solid advice, and she was right about investing in easy pieces to dress up. I am DYING for a baseball jacket, especially this one
sad cuz I'm broke-o


anyway, I am a bit tired, short post today guys. I think I'm going to call it a night, maybe a little pilates first.

Later

DIY Wednesdays


Hey guys, I'm starting a new format with a new year! I'm going to start having reviews, tips, and brodcasting things I've made! I got such great feedback on my Spa Sundays, that I've made some other one's too, like today which is DIY Wednesday! (even if there are 30mins left in the day for Chicago, better write fast!!)

So, I'm not sure if you guy's knew but I'm very much a crafter. Last week, whilst nuserying a new found cavity (my first ever!!! ;_;) and a visit from the dentist I decided to watch some crappy TV and finally distress some shortie shorts! I know Sara Mari and Jen already done so, but I was so inspired I HAD to try it myself!

So here's what I started with (sorry with the crappy foto >_<)
mega man say's "hello ladies!"
Panda won it for me in a crane game machine.


The shorts are altered are the one's on the far right (lightest blue) And they were all (you'll never guess) $2!!!! A store nearby was going out of business, they we're normally $60! YAHOO! I love the rainbow stiching in the black one's.

Anyways, here's the after



I just used a box cutter and an old teenvogue. I know they are not super distressed, but they are already short shorts, I didn't wanna look like a ho- fo sho! Plus to add that extra fringe I cut off the hem with makes a cute headband!

just crusin in panda's car,
by the way I'm wearing geo's magic circle lens just in case you were curious!


I'm going to leave the black one's alone, they are cute as is. But as for the dark demin I want to do this!

I wonder if I can make the fur part detachable so I can rock them in the summer without the fur...




Lastly I just want to say...
I'M ON TEAM COCO...seriously leno....SRSLY?! If they get rid of "the office" there is absolutely no point on watching NBC at all! NO POINT (I know this is old news butat least we finally stopped talking about tiger woods)
Anywhoooo....

Keep it crafty ya'll, keep it late night.

so have you crafted anything recently?
