Okay, so maybe I am the only one with an eccentric enough sense of style to love the pom pom sandals that have been cropping up.  The are happy, fun, and look so fresh for the season.  The problem?  No way am I going to spend $100+ on them.  My solution?  A DIY project of course!

What you need

Lace up Sandals (I got mine on Amazon for less than $15)
Hot Glue Gun (with glue)
Pom PomsOptional: Pom pom ribbon and scissors

**Warning** I know this may come as a shock to some, but hot glue is…hot!  Take care not to burn yourself, which like likely eventually happen anyway.  I like hi-temp because it gives me longer to work, but if you have sensitive skin, get yourself a low temp clue gun.

1) put on your sandals to get a rough idea of where you want pom poms and what you want them to look like.

2) Start glueing!  Remember to be careful with the hot glue, and hold the pom poms in place for a couple of seconds before releasing.

3) let your sandals cool, and start wearing!  Remember hot glue isn’t a permanent thing, so keep your extra pom poms around in case you wear them enough to need a repair!

One of my favorite trends as the weather gets colder is the blanket cape.  Its an oh so cozy way to stay stylish as move forward into fall.  Want to explore this fun trend at a more budget friendly version than the ASOS? Try a DIY version!

 

Materials:
A polar fleece throw blanket, preferably in a fun print!
Scissors
Yarn, the same color as the stitching around the blanket
Yarn needle

1) Start by folding your blanket in half, then in half again. You should now have a square-ish shape a quarter of the original blanket size.

2) Next cut all the way down one of the folds. This will give you a cut in the blanket, centered on one side, and all the way to the middle.20130320-075411.jpg

3) Blanket stitch along your cut. Don’t know how to blanket stitch? Check out this YouTube video!  Note that you are not sewing two pieces together, you are just finishing the free edge.

4) Done! Awesome cozy blanket cape! 🙂

DIY Fashion Trends: Make Your Own Matching Separates

DIY Fashion Trends: Make Your Own Matching Separates @ StylishTwo.com

Thanks mostly Taylor Swift, this trend has been building momentum for a while now.  While matching separates can look like something you wore in kindergarten, when done right they can also be pretty amazing! Personally, my favorite is a wild print, with a cropped top and a high waisted skirt.  Can’t find the perfect one? Or maybe you just want to play with the trend without breaking the budget?  Consider making one with these simple steps!  I use a sewing machine, but you can use a needle and thread if you don’t have one!  Personally though, I think all good fashion forward women should own and know how to use a sewing machine, it makes projects like this so much easier!

What you Need
A Dress to modify, look for something with stretch, such as jersey material.  Shop for closet, or try a thrift store for an inexpensive option
1″ elastic
Marking Pen
Pins
Needle & Thread or Sewing Machine

Instructions

1. Try on your dress, and mark it where you want the bottom of your shirt.  Remember, cropped tops are perfect for a higher waisted skirt!

2. Mark across the width of your dress, making shirt the sides and middle are the same distance from the bottom.  Then cut so now you have a separate top and bottom.

3. Time for darts!  These are little sewn triangle shaped areas that make the fabric match the curve of your body.  The back of the skirt should have two darts.  Then make two more on the back and front of the top.

4. Sew your darts!  Not sure how?  Check out this website!

5. Cut two strips of the 1″ elastic.  One the size of your rib cage or waist where your top ends, and one the legnth of your waist or hips where you want your skirt to rest.  Sew in place using a zig zag stitch (this allows for stretch!)
