On Trend; Celine inspired plaid

Happy Friday!

Don't you sometimes just want to pluck the clothes of the runway? Okay back to reality... since I cannot get my hands on actual Celine products, I might as well make my own trendy check piece, here's how....

 1. Find yourself a fun checkered fabric, grab a tee and pin the outline + 2 extra centimeters. (make sure the fabric is backwards)

2. Cut along pins, then fold the shirt and the fabric double, and cut an even neckline.

3. Sew along the pins and the shoulders, turn fabric inside out and a new shirt is born.

4. Final touch, hem the bottom of the shirt, the sleeves and neckline. I like to use "biaisband", it makes it even easier! I used a suede biaisband for extra detail.

 Et Voila! Your DIY Celine RTW Fall13 Shirt

Fall in Amsterdam, from the canal

Greetings from Amsterdam! 

Last week we were super lucky with the amazing summer in fall type of day. We rented a boat and enjoyed the view from the water all afternoon. Amsterdam is an awesome city with different cute areas and amazing architecture which you can enjoy to the fullest with a view from the canals.

On trend; Plaid shirt (picked from le boifrengs closet)

Grunge Chic

I'm loving a good plaid shirt lately, you can often find a good plaid shirt in men's departments (that's where I scored this one). 

After wearing this plaid for the past few years, I decided it was time to change things up so I cut it into a cropped plaid and be-studded the shoulders. An easy 10 minute DIY anybody could try!
