1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Lately several black-and-white geometric prints have caught my eye, so I decided to make a simple clutch version of my own. For this project I actually used my own tutorial, the one for the leather foldover clutch. I modified it by using duck canvas, instead of leather, and cutting out […]
Sunday Street Style
Styling tips from this week: A distressed jean jacket with holes in just the right places can look great. Florals with dark backgrounds and lace skirts can look really hip. A little bit of faux fur at the neck dresses up any look. Beanies are a great way to keep warm and look cute. Try […]

Tutorial: Rope and Wrapped-Thread Necklace
A while ago I made a rope necklace, but this one is quite different and is inspired by a new crop of designer necklaces, which have kind of a techno-tribal feel. Despite the lengthy instructions, these are pretty easy to make yourself, and the best part is that you make them in whatever colors you […]

Outfit Post: Bad Kitty
Recently I’ve come to appreciate the bad-hair-day-hiding capabilities of hats. The top of my hair could be all frizzy and messy, with roots that need some work, but you’d never know thanks to my hat.
