Do I Spot a DIY coming???

Spotted: A snood. I think this can be a potentially easy DIY. Think: cut old sweater, or even buying from a fabric store? I certainly do think so!

French Connection Snood

Another snood I've seen that's cute is the Irregular Choice sequin snood. Get it while it's on sale, here!

What I Want is What I Need

Stumbled across this cute bracelet on Fashionlista.

It's a combo of glitz and casual with the rope and cubic zirconia. Just my kind of thing! I like glamorous things, but not always showy and flashy. And then I like to be casual most times, so this is right in my lane.

Sad thing is: it's no longer on ASOS' site : ( It'd be great to find it though.

Accessorize

I am loving this Lee Angel 'Dipped in Pink' necklace!

I just LOVE the vibrant pink!

DIY style: I'm gonna see if I can find a similar necklace, and spray paint the bottom half. P.S. I made this style.

Wanna try it? Rent it on Rent the Runway!

Accessorize

As you know, tumblr has become an obsession. [BUT I can refrain! I hadn't "trolled" for like two days, till today!] But, I'm back! with a post :)

Chloe Billie tote. Damage: 1945$ on sale at Net-a-porter.

Now, I like this bag because it is versatile. I'm thinking this will go great with a casual 'fit, eg. loose tee, and cargo skinnies most likely i nmy fave color of olive. And I'm imagining it as a work bag as well, for those of us that like to take our style to work! Eg. nice khaki pantsuit, while toting your purse must-haves. It looks like it may even fit a 13" Macbook?

This bag, I thee like

Found a really cute on Lulu's. It's got some leopard goin' on, and it looks like it's a good size!

Get it here.

DIY. English Feather Headpiece

So I got a couple glimpses of the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, and boy can you say that those English women sure do love their hats/headpieces!

Never had I seen so many head gear in my life! Ok well, scratch that, I am African, and I have been to more than a couple African weddings where head gear is limitless and outrageous at times.

But one of faves bloggers, Erica at P.S. I Made This, has a new post up! This time she made a feather headpiece, just in time for the Royal Wedding! Check it out below!

DIY. Disco Earrings

Here's another great D.I.Y. project from P.S. I Made This via my daily Who What Wear emails.

Disco earrings inspired by those on the Chanel S/S 2011 runway.

You can easily purchase some already-been-made earrings with preices ranging up to over 1,000$ ! But why not get crafty and spare some change to make some of your own, and with your own style!

View instructions here. And have fun!

Harness that Shoe, Baby

I spotted on Highsnobette the (IN)Decorous Taste Crystal Spike Shoe Harnesses are now available.

Fashion Files: Scarf Do's

so iCame across this video on some different ways to wear a scarf! im sure ppl already know these, but just in case you've forgotten or don't know how to do it...

iFind myself always wearing my scarfs in 'The Loop' iFeel like it keeps my neck 'warmer' o.O

Classic. Timeless.

so iThink i've made it somewhat clear that iAm not the richest chick out there. and on top that, no, iDont have any designer stuff in my closet.

BUT iDo know what high end goods serve for: Quality. if not quality, it probly just serves a purpose of being expensive, w some designers name on it, or just lookin good. and iTell ya, not everything the top designers put out looks good.

iStumbled across a couple, idk, tips online on buying Quality handbags, so iDecided to do a lil post on that.

1. Speedy bag. this Louis Vuitton bag is just classic and timeless. perfect. it can be used for anything from traveling to daily use. its durable, and goes w just about everything from jeans to dresses. plus it comes in like 4 different sizes to suit your needs. iNeed to invest in one! ;)

[Speedy 35]

2. Birkin bag. this Hermes is design, what some celebs were rockin a couple yrs back, is what iWld also describe and classic and timeless. not only can you wear it casually, but look, you can use it for work! if you wanna get it, it'll def do more damage than the speedy bag, i've seen prices from just under 1k to $2750 to a lil over 15k! yikes! [the Kelly bag is similar to the Birkin]

3. The Chanel 2.55. you cant say this isnt a classic. plus its been revamp'd since its making, plus its a collectible!

4. Stam. this Marc Jacobs, even tho it takes a liking to Chanel's signature quilting and chain, is another classic in its own.

5. Cherche Midi by Balenciaga.

6. Sukey Tote by Gucci. another logo bag, that comes in different colors and material. very roomy.

7. Jenna Watersnake. I've been tryna get my hands on a Beirn bag for about a yr or so... they come in several colors, and sizes. iThink its safe to say that this is a new classic.

this probly wont be all the classic bags out there. but that'll have to do for now.

which bags do you think im forgetting?

Creepy

iThink Dominic Jones went too far with this one.... this is just scary. why wld anyone want to wear [live?] snails???
