2-ways to up-do a white shirt

I love, love, love "the button down" it is such a versatile piece and everybody should have one. May it be any color or just plain white. Check your boyfriend, dad or brothers closet and you must find one... if not get a great sheer button-down (Zara and Mango have great ones this season).

What I did to simply style it up is;

1. Get 1 meter of (velvet) ribbon or lace (at any fabric or craft store)

2. Simply tie it either in a bow (shirt buttoned all the way up)

3. Or go for a more laid back vibe with one button undone and a simple "tie" style.

What do you think?

DIY - Studded Top

An easy way to up-do any top that you have had in your closet already. Get yourself some (preferably colored) studs for that extra pop. then simply take 5 minutes of your time to measure out where to place them and then stick them on. Do not forget to place an old news paper in between to prevent both sides of the top to stick together.

 Volia! an easy way to up-do your top!

Quick outfit post before a family visit, this must have been one of the hottest days yet!

Inspired by Valentino, Mulberry and Christian Louboutin, you can clip the bows onto flats or heels!
