Check out this great tutorial for how to sew your own leggings. To a rhubarb lover like me, this rhubarb milkshake recipe sounds wonderful. I grew up eating raw rhubarb, peeled with salt (only people in my family seem to eat it this way), but it’s just as good sweet as it is savory. Could […]
DIY Painted Shoes
Several months ago I saw the above pair of hot pink shoes, and I was disappointed when I realized that they were sold out. As the months went by I kept wishing that they were part of my wardrobe, so I decided to make my own. I gave an inexpensive pair of flats a makeover […]
DIY Idea: Refined Studs
Lately I’ve been seeing a softer, gentler stud, paired with bright candy colors for spring. For a refined look, you could add gold pyramid studs or smaller, rounded studs to a pastel-colored purse or pair of shoes. Combined with the Easter-egg colors, studs take on an unexpected elegance, don’t you think? 1. Valentino bag 2. […]

Jewelry Organization
Lately I’ve been trying to figure out how to organize my jewelry and accessories. Right now everything is packed away in various boxes, and I’d like to find a semi-temporary solution so I can access everything again. This is tough, because I have quite a collection (mostly vintage, thrifted, or handmade), but if I can’t […]
Terrarium
Nothing seems to sap my blogging mojo like moving, but I’m trying to get back into the habit by tackling some projects I’ve been meaning to try. Most of my craft supplies are in storage indefinitely, so I decided to make a tabletop terrarium because I had everything on hand except for the container, which […]
