D.I.Y: Temporary Hair Dye

I wish I could be blonde so badly.
So I could dye my hair crazy colors very easily.
Luckily for all you blonde-haired beauties, you can dye your
hair a different color everyday!
Pull Teeth provides us with a very interesting hair dye tutorial 
by using Crayola Tropical washable markers!
The link, in fact, also includes a video that is easy to follow.
Also GOOD LUCK!

D.I.Y: Galaxy-Print

It's so "hipster".
Lately alot of people have been taking interest in the
design of nebulas and galaxies.
The color and stars it's something mysterious and mystical about it.
So here is how you can incorporate galaxies into your clothes.

I tested out this tutorial myself.
And it turned out wonderful, I got many positive feedback on them..
I'll post a picture of my version when I find the photos haha.
Well here... Goth Reform School provided us a cosmic shoe tutorial.
It's super easy and doesn't take up much time (also, again. it's super cheap).
Still going along with the galaxy theme...
this is a video tutorial by Youtuber Look Under Here, she created a
bandeau tutorial!!!


Yeah.. I'm sorry. I have nothing really left to say.
Long week. Haha
Well. GOOD LUCK!

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 !

D.I.Y: Detailed Collars

I love, adore, obsessed with detailed collars.
It's something you don't see much around, mostly on girls.
SO.. here are some ways to spruce up your white collar shirts people!

The M&J Trimming's blog provided a tutorial for a dotted collar blouse.
(I would totally match this shirt up with some high waist black pants.. but that's just me)
It's done in four easy steps with very little materials need.

Below is a video tutorial of that Miu Miu collar from Fashion Citizen on Youtube.

And finally.. Alexa Chung and her cute studded collar.
The instructions for the studded collar seem pretty easy, just add studs.

Well anyways, good luck guys!

D.I.Y: Jersey Scarf into a Skirt

It's old, yes. But it's a good video.
The video displays an alternate way of wearing your simple jersey scarf, but it's not going to be worn around your neck...
(from AfterDRK )

D.I.Y: Balmain-Inspired Jean Shorts

So I found this cute tutorial on Youtube on these chain shorts.
It was inspired by, of course, Balmain.

I'm guessing these shorts, in the image below, were the one this Youtuber saw
(her account goes by the name "mad4beauty")

Her take on the pair of shorts is a bit more subtle, and also includes chains from an old necklace.
Sorry that the video is a bit long, 11 minutes.


Haha, I also don't know how you would wash these shorts.
Anyways..Enjoy!! And good luck!

D.I.Y: Balmain-Inspired Tank

See that tank top?

Oh man, I love it. So rebellious and edgy. 
I wish I could totally afford it, but no, sadly I cannot.
So here is Boat People's take on it..

All you need- Acrylic paints, a bit of cardboard, paint brushes, a tank top, scissors, a pen/pencil

(maybe some bleach, laundry machine and maybe a candle.)

It's a great tutorial, hope you enjoy!
P.S. "Boat People" also has a boutique, it sells some pretty rad vintage clothing.

Lolita Book Purse

Have you seen the Lolita Book Purse? Natalie Portman was seen carrying it, very cute and interesting.
(Also, it makes you look smart. haha)


There is, indeed, a video tutorial on a book purse but the outcome of his project disapointed me greatly. If you are interested in watching it, here's the link on Youtube.

I currently cannot find a great tutorial yet, but I suggest to cut out 2 trangular shaped pieces of fabric, like in the video above, for the sides of the purse when it opens. But instead of cuting out all the pages of a book shown in the video, hollow the book out instead, which can be done according to this tutorial. Finally, to attach all the pieces together like Natalie Portman's, I suggest fabric glueYou can also place more fabric to cover the inside of the book, like the Moby Dick novel above.

NOTE: This is not really a tutorial, just my suggestions on how to create the purse. I will re-post if I find a better tutorial for this project,
