Back when we were living in Venezuela, there was an easy weekend trip we would often take. We’d pick up cheap flights to Margarita Island, and then we’d stay at the windsurfing beach seven minutes away from the airport. Ultimately we found the cutest little posada, and each time we went the pancakes were ordered–habitually.Continue reading Recipe: Venezuelan Pancakes
DIY Tassel Bag–What Not to Do!
Pic via my Instagram feed @krembdelakremb This tassel bag was not easy. I’ve come to the conclusion I like easy DIY projects. Don’t get me wrong: I’m very pleased with how this tassel bag turned out, but I could have made my life a lot easier if I would have just punctured the leather. WithContinue reading DIY Tassel Bag–What Not to Do!
The Fab 40s in Menswear
This month The Fab 40s bring you their interpretation of menswear. When I saw Geneva’s, from A Pair and a Spare, DIY for an off-the-shoulder dress/top made out of a men’s shirt, I felt a thrill of excitement. Now, I do not have a sewing machine in Hong Kong (I’d like that to changw!), soContinue reading The Fab 40s in Menswear
DIY Tassel Heels
1. Gather the supplies: For this DIY Tassel Heels project, I need to find this simple style of sandal where the back heel buckle slips out of the holder. I found a pair of Steve Madden sandals on sale at TJ Maxx that were perfect. At my local craft store, Joann’s, I picked up someContinue reading DIY Tassel Heels
Ostrich Feather Bag Styled
I was a busy DIYer this summer, but by far my most coveted creation was this ostrich feather bag! I just love it. For this outfit post, I had some serious fun styling the bag. The lake was moody, so I went for one of my favorite color combos: blue and black. Granted, I didn’tContinue reading Ostrich Feather Bag Styled
DIY Trimmed Boots
I’ve had this pair of boots that season after season weren’t getting worn. If I wanted a cowboy look, I’d always wear my mom’s cowboy boots. (I’ve only posted these boots one for a Fab 40s collab.) Then, after success with my fringe sandals and my trimmed mini skirt, I thought to myself: maybe theseContinue reading DIY Trimmed Boots
DIY: Doily Bowls
For some reason I’ve been wanting to make these little doily bowls for a while. It’s quite silly how easy these little bowls are to make. I’m mean, it’s probably the simplest DIY project out there. And now, I have four new cute bowls about the house to fill with those random left items thatContinue reading DIY: Doily Bowls
Recipe: Grandma Soogie’s Cucumber and Walla Walla Sweets
In Washington State there’s an onion that grows in Walla Walla that can actually be eaten as an apple. It’s a sweet onion that is bursting with flavors. While I personally have never eaten a Walla Walla Sweet like an apple, I know people who do, and they love them. My family also loves thisContinue reading Recipe: Grandma Soogie’s Cucumber and Walla Walla Sweets
DIY: Add Pom Poms
Have something too short? Just add pom poms! I’ve had this really cute Guatemalan fabric skirt since last summer. It has almost been perfect except for the length. While I usually don’t mind wearing a short hem, for some reason this skirt has always made me self-conscious. I haven’t been willing nor ready to giveContinue reading DIY: Add Pom Poms
DIY Ostrich Feather Bag
I finally realized it’d have to be a DIY Ostrich bag. If there’s one thing you might be realizing about me, it’s that I’m very persistent. And, if it has to do with getting a stylistic idea in my closet, I’m doubly persistent. This has been the case with Shana’s, of The Mom Edit, awesomeContinue reading DIY Ostrich Feather Bag
DIY Fringe Sandals
I had been on the lookout for some fringe sandals, but I could never find the perfect combo of fringe + sandal. It was at this point that I took matters in to my own hands! I knew fringe sandals would be the easiest of easies to make, so when I found the perfect pairContinue reading DIY Fringe Sandals
Recipe: Kevin’s Carrot Cake
Is there a cake in your family that always gets requested? For us it’s Kevin’s Carrot Cake (which isn’t even his!). Everyone, including non family members, seems to request this delicious cake. Maybe Kevin adds a secret ingredient–like love or care? I’m not sure because he has always simply used the Better Homes and GardenContinue reading Recipe: Kevin’s Carrot Cake
