It seems that every time I enter a Zara store I see more and more patches. They’re so fun and whimsical, yet nothing I’d ever spend more than $$ on–plus, this is like the easiest DIY ever. I know I am always saying my DIYs are the easiest ever, but I guess that should readContinue reading DIY: Patched Denim Shirt
Spring Break 2016 in Borneo, Malaysia
Travel is definitely an integral part of the life Kevin and I have created over the last twenty years. Without being too cliche I have to admit that I feel blessed by this way of life that we lead. I think it’s safe to say that everyone’s interpretation of wealth is different, and I willContinue reading Spring Break 2016 in Borneo, Malaysia
DIY: Painting Scuffed Shoes
Isn’t it the worse when your favorite shoes get all scuffed up? That was the case with my favorite brown booties. They’re not made of real leather, so when I scuffed the front a bit too much, the faux material lifted off. Yet, I love the comfort and style of this boot and was notContinue reading DIY: Painting Scuffed Shoes
DIY Embellished Jean Jacket
I’ve been eyeing embellished jean jackets for a while now. Also, I have this bleached out jean jacket that doesn’t get much wear. (The bleach job was another DIY project from when I first started the London College of Style program. I bleached it out on the beach rocks of Couer d’Alene at my sister’sContinue reading DIY Embellished Jean Jacket
DIY Découpage Purse
Découpage is the craft of gluing cut outs onto another surface. When I saw this Découpage purse, I felt inspired to create something similar. The black purse I picked up from the 4th of July Spirit Lake Fair in the town park. The honest truth was I needed another black bag like I need aContinue reading DIY Découpage Purse
Off the Shoulder with No Shorts?!
Of course I brought my off the shoulder men’s shirt to wear as a cover up during last week’s beach to Thailand. And of course on the last day when I finally got around to taking some pics–basically right before we left–it started to pour! But, oh rain feels so good. (I love the rain.Continue reading Off the Shoulder with No Shorts?!
DIY: 3 Tee Shirt Hacks
I seem to be collecting tees a the same rate as collectible magnets from travel destinations. I really can’t seem to stop–especially now that my style is taking on a more casual state with the increase wear of tennies each day. Regardless, there is something I often do to the tee shirts I collect: IContinue reading DIY: 3 Tee Shirt Hacks
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
