DIY-spiration: Tassel Necklace by Citrine by the Stones

Grab a few handfuls of neutral colored embroidery floss, some wide-link chain, some beachy/bohemian shell/coin beads, metal caps and a pair of scissors. Spend a half an hour or so, and you’ll have this beauty. (Or you could spend $375 at ShopBop – which I can’t say I’m against, but you could have this Halston dress instead!) Thank me later.

DIY-spiration from Ether-Ore

I stumbled upon this site today via Daily Candy and am now dying to make (or attempt to make) pretty much everything on the site. This one’s my favorite. I’ve got a pile of pyrite beads sitting at home, just waiting to be DIY’d into a bracelet like this… (and maybe a necklace to match.) Faux suede cord + gold nugget beads = easy peasy.

DIY-spiration from Venessa Arizaga

Just stumbled upon this necklace from Venessa Arizaga and think it would be pretty easy & fun to make… It sells for $360 on net-a-porter, but I’d estimate the materials from a craft store ringing in at about $15-20.

A Little Weekend DIY…

I was craving cobalt blue, and wanting something color-blocked. Killed two birds with one stone this weekend by following this fabulous DIY.

M is for Miracle.

Two months ago, 3 Lab sent me a jar of their amazing M Cream to test out. I jumped at the opportunity to try it, as it promised to revive stressed skin, and my skin was way stressed.
