$1660? No Thanks.... $30? Yes, Please!

We are LOVING the Isabel Marant Spring '10 RTW Collection. We've had our eyes on these boots since Fashion Week a while back, and now we finally did a DIY! The new DIY Isabel Boot can be made from anywhere between $20 and $30 depending on your personal taste. Isabel Marant used less chain than we did, so you can easily adapt to your liking. Enjoy :)
Stud Your Chucks

Looking through the NYDS DIY guides I found this great idea to make your sneakers fierce. In the guide we used H&M sneakers but any kind will work and then you will have your own one of a kind sneaker! You can get the studs here.
Sparkle Love Skirt

So, immediately after viewing Moschino's Spring 2010 RTW Collection (Images shown: Style.com) we HAD to get crafting. The black and white hearts were just to D.I.Y. for! Check out the "Sparkle Love" skirt in the How To Guides to see what we came up with and how.
D.I.Y. Lanvin

We are LOVING the Chainklet right now. First things first, it took about 20 minutes to create. We simply cut a bunch of chains in similar lengths, sewed them to some ribbon and tied a bow! These serve as necklaces, bracelets and Anklets! We were def inspired by Lanvin Spring 2010 Collection, where every look sported some sort of chain or strap around the ankles. Try it! Sooo funky fresh.

Spring Preview: 1940s Glamour

noticed that 1940s styles are coming back: oxford shoes, fitted pencil skirts
paired with a pretty blouse, structured bags and costume jewelry. When pulled
altogether, the look is so glamorous! Time to raid the vintage stores!
