A quick peek into my latest project in process. No worries! It may be a wack pile of fabric now, but I promise it will look pretty good when its done, or at least that I will think so (th...
Heres the paneled sweater project I promised in my last post. I feel like Im always spewing some variant of "Omg guys, this project could not be simpler!!!" but really, its true. These ...

Hey friends, how DIYable are these THU THU shorts? (Check out the description - perhaps "tribal" is backed by something of substance here?) I sure would love to happen upon a...
If youve taken a look at some of my projects (and if you have, thank you!), you know Im big on reviving old garments. I made this cowl scarf from a thrifted knit skirt that just didnt fit, simp...
Im trying to fun-ify my wardrobe without getting sloppy, spendy, or hooched-out, so Im turning more and more to color and prints. Notwithstanding the fact that the bustier below could have no f...
I dont recall how I ended up looking at vintage lipstick caddies on etsy. Not sure about you, but the idea of little lipstick caddies seems incredibly quaint to me - but maybe thats because I o...
Since my last real closet purge and move to Spain, I havent gotten much use out of a favorite thrifted skirt, a glimpse of which appears here. Classic as they may be, Im no longer sure that pen...
I travel a lot. For me, its a blessing in every way you can fathom. I do wish I could say that Ive mastered the art of packing for my adventures, but Im something of a mess every time. &n...
On a recent thrifting run, I spotted this fitted, metallic gold/black crewneck top, which is so not me:Though Im pretty sure that many fashion bloggers would make it look fly, this particular piece w...

When I really like an idea, I work it to death. One of the first projects I posted on this blog was a linen tee to which I’d added a curved hemline and a bit of pocket adornment. Now that’s it’s cold...
You know that thrifted leather skirt that I raved about the last post? It is undergoing reincarnation as we speak. And it gets to live on not as a single garment, but as a component of se...
This short and sweet post over at OutsaPop Trashion was a good kick in the pants for me. DIY has lately become widely seen as a “movement” and a serious form of fun and self-expression, and tha...
