diy twisted hair updo

Nasty Gal earrings, Roxy top

I've been trying to get more into the video making side of DIY projects because I find them more enjoyable to make. So, here I present to you a super simple DIY for the days when you want to do something different! I hope you enjoy~

heat wave

American Apparel dress (similar), StyleNanda sandals

Today was one of those crazy heat days which required a no mess outfit. The slight turtleneck didn't cause as much trouble as you'd think. Anyways, I'm back to sewing a bathing suit in this warm weather which might melt my brain a little bit...

the leather skirt

ASTR leather skirt, Target jean jacket, Leith tshirt, Prabal Gurung x Target heels, Michael Kors watch, Madewell sunglasses

And here we have my outfit from yesterday. I seem to have adapted back to the days of middle school when I wore my school sweatshirt around the waist. It's just too easy.

Ohhh Lulu Lingerie and Apparel

I recently got a serger and finally worked up the guts to un-box the beast. After opening the box and re-threading the machine myself, I became much less intimidated! I spent most of the day researching bathing suit sewing patterns which led me to the discovery of Ohhh Lulu Lingerie and Apparel. Ohh Lulu not only specializes in lingerie that you can purchase, creator Sarah Norwood has made some of her patterns available for purchase! The awesome part is that some of these patterns are capable of being used as bathing suit patterns. Be sure to check her etsy out and I'll be sure to share once I use one of the patterns.

the perfect swing dress

Pleaser heels, ASOS dress, DIY clutch, Michael Kors watch

Tada! Here are the outfit details for my most recent DIY video. This dress came in the mail just in time for the hot weather and to pair with my new clutch! 

how to make a custom printed purse

Hey peeps! I finally made another video DIY! Woohoo, spent all afternoon using After Effects to edit this one because I didn't shoot it with an iPad. I've been really wanted a palm tree printed clutch, and since I recently used iron-on transfers I thought I would give this one a shot. I'll be posting the outfit soon so watch out for that too! I ended up changing the audio because it was so loud (oops) so enjoy some Mozart.  Thanks for reading~

DIY summer shorts, Asos boots (similar ASOS pair), Urban Outfitters purse, H&M shirt

These silk shorts that I made awhile ago served me well today in the crazy heat...summer time is here! Do yourself a favor and make some light weight shorts~
