Inspiration: Chain Statement Ring

I have collected many photos over the internet for a while.
Sadly I can't keep track of where I find them, the photo below I
believe I found at Style Frizz a while back.
This ring can be easily accomplished with
different chains (with similar lengths) and two ring blanks.
You can purchase ring blanks on ebay for $2 for 10,
but remember to buy one with multiple loops to
attach the chains (as seen below).

D.I.Y: Anthropologie Inspired Necklace

It looks very romantic, yes?
Has that spring/summer look.
I love it and totally can imagine pairing it with a nude simple dress.
The tutorial was posted back in March by Flamingo Toes.
It's stunning and I hope you "necklace-hoarders" enjoy.
Good luck!

D.I.Y: Ear Cuffs

I'm assuming you have seen Style Hurricane's large selection of
ear cuffs that she sells.
If not... see below for her work..
I've been eyeing them and trying to find a way to create them myself.
Well why wouldn't I? Look at her work.. gorgeous.
You can buy them here.
 If you rather make your own? Visit this magical place.. here.
The tutorial is provided by Reading A Bad Romance 
and the results of her D.I.Y (below) were not too shabby. Pretty rad actually.

D.I.Y: Beach-Inspired Projects

Lately, I'm guessing since it is summertime, everyone has been pursuading me to join them at the beach.
Personally, I find the beach is a little irratating just because one factor.
The sand.
Mostly when it's windy, don't get me started.
However, the beach is one good place for relaxation.
Everything insipired by it seems to be whimsical, peaceful, airy and happy.
Enough with the jibber jabber, on with the D.I.Y's...

The picture above is of a cute, vividly colorful bracelet/anklet made of seed beads sewn onto a shoe lace.
The tutorial was cleverly created by Between The Lines.
I really love this tutorial for it's colors and it's low level of difficulty. Plus the materials for the
project is very easy to find, and it's also very cheap.

I think I have made it obvious that I'm in love with Studs and Pearls blog.
Well, what can I say? Other than she's a creative genius!
Enough with the compliments and flattery.
She recently posted this seashell earring tutorial.
But in my opinion, I think the earrings could look pretty awesome with an ombre effect.
Perhaps with the colors white and teal? Done with spray paint?
But it would be difficult- the seashells are puny.

The video above is a "Yacht Dress", which I believe can also be
a beach bathing suit cover up. It's a simple D.I.Y from a reconstruced t-shirt.

That's all for now!
Good luck!

D.I.Y: Sharpie Love.

So you think you can only use the bold markers for art?
Have you thought about using it on your clothes and accessories?

1. Studs and Pearls recently presented a geometric lace top tutorial.
It includes how to make the top and how, of course, she incorporated the use
of Sharpies into her clothing.
2. Here is faux-Chanel top from Luxenoir, who accomplished this
project with 3 simple tools: a white tee, a sharpie and a Chanel logo template.
3. I came upon these wonderful Sharpie heels found on Outsapop.
They truly are a statement piece to a girl's waredrobe.
  4. Finally, you also have the option of making your jewellery appear more antique or "vintage" by following this post by Glamourai.


Need more inspiration?
There is cute image of a unique little D.I.Y sweater was found on

Good luck guys!

D.I.Y:Waterfall Chain Necklace

Statement necklaces. Everyone loves them.
It adds a little more flavor to the outfit, it brings something special to the table.
I prefer things with chains, so here we are.. with a waterfall necklace tutorial.
However.. if you like, instead of dangling chains, you also
have the option of using feathers, ropesleather strips, etc.
Whatever that floats your boat. 
 This tutorial is from Youtuber "mad4beauty"

I really love how she pairs the necklace with an edgy leather jacket and a plain white tee.

Anyways, good luck !
