DIY: Denim Skirt

Sabrina Meijer of after DRK made this killer denim skirt out of a jacket! I love how she kept the collar folded down, its a whole new shape and I'm pretty sure I'm diggin it.

DIY: Update your Denim

I am sure all of us girls own at least three to five different types of jean shorts. Maybe it's your go to piece for your summer wardrobe, or maybe you decide you don't like them after a day of wearing them (it just happens sometimes), and have to buy a different pair. Before you move on to the next one, try studding them, bleaching them, or sewing on some fun fabric. These ideas can be applied to all variations of denim apparel!

Here are some examples:

DIY: Nail Stickers

Loved this DIY nail art idea. If I try it out I will definitely make a post! If anyone else decides to try it, I would love to see your version.

Its hard to say that denim is an upcoming/current trend for 2012, because lets face it, since when is a great fitting pair of jeans not okay. But I'm not just talking about a pair of skinny jeans, I mean denim of all shapes and sizes. Skirts, bags, jackets, vests you name it. And don't stop there cut it up, put some studs on one side and maybe some embroidery! Go find your first jean jacket, rearrange the pieces, and you have a new, current piece. Some examples:

DIY Potential

I love these crystal necklaces, I can totally see a DIY happening here.  Just buy a crystal and some leather, glue it on and boom. I'll let you know if I go for this one :)

Flower Ears

I did not want to post this at a DIY because it has not been completed yet. However I do plan on making my own version of these to wear at Coachella [because at any other venue they would just look ridiculous].  I think they are a nice break from the flower child head ropes don't you think?

DIY Gold Necklace

With inspiration from my last post, this is what I have come up with. Doesn't achieve the big statement I had hoped for but not bad for a free necklace, right?

Potential DIY

I see a DIY in my future do you? Using old necklace chains and gathering them into one big chunky statement piece? May have to try it out...

From Old to New

This was one of my first purses I used to use for sweet sixteens and such.  I decided it was time for a re-vamping.

There! Perfect party bag to use for a night of dancing.  

What do you think?
