DIY Chaaaains

Inspiration - salvation. It comes to me in many forms. When relatively new designers take something and push it only one small step farther than something classic but charge massive money for it, I just have to go DIY loco. Example at hand being these sick shoe chains and Indian princess style headbands. Possibly inspired by the recent Givenchy chain necklace craze, and priced at around $200; I think they're pretty much all DIYable with a good pair of pliers and some old necklaces/bracelets.

I just finished my dressssss.








I found directions to making fabric flowers in this really great book I've had forever but never used.

Three or four wonderful things:

1) I've finally finnished a project that took way more time than it needed. Tulle collar cardigan!







2) School is starting for me in exactly one week. Every year before school starts I do something different to my hair. I haven't had a haircut all summer, I just kind of let my full fringe grow out and moved it to the side. My hair was recently dyed pretty dark, but then I decided I wanted to go closer to my natural color and much, much lighter. So I tried many hot oil treatments to try to get the dark hair dye out, which surprisingly worked. But then, while watching an episode of Shear Genius (disgusting blonde over processed hair that literally was falling out!) I had a mini revolution and decided I will probably never go blonde. Plus i cannot STAND to see dark roots, I've put people down for their gross looking roots and I certainly do not want to be a hypocrite. So, this friday I have an appointment to dye my hair a medium brown, and to get a Leigh Lezark-esque hair cut.



3) Project runway tonight!

4) Auuux Champs elysees!



It's what I'm listening to... hahaha

Skirt

Some photos of the skirt I made. Included: front, front details, back details.







I might try to post some photos of on-the-runway feather action. If I decide to go through the trouble of finding them.
