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; Clip-On Studded Bow

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

I've been wanting to make these bows for a while now, but had a hard time finding clip-on earring backs, eventually I found them at a bead store.

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

Here's how you make 'em!!

Outfit Post + DIY Summer Statement Tee {Video}

 I discovered iron-on paper and have been obsessing over DIY tee's. This is the latest one with a tutorial video. The shirts I make are playful, no need for a statement necklace with this one, the fringe has it covered. These shirts are fun for a festival in the summer or so or on a rainy day(got to make it work in this "Holland weather")

Breakfast At Faymes - DIY Tassels (Video)

For those who follow me on twitter might have known that a DIY video was on it's way. In this video I show you how to make your own tassels, I want to thank my dear friend Francine for coming up with this idea (Follow her super style on Pinterest; Chincho15). 

It's really easy and super fun to make tassels, you can do anything with them of course. Until now I've made a tassel necklace and attached one to a clutch I made. Hope you like it! XO

Breakfast at Fayme's - 2011

We are almost halfway through January already, yet I still don't feel like the year has changed. Below is a little video compilation of almost everything I've been up to last year. The song is by a band from Kenya, "Just a band" they are called and I've been obsessed with it! It really gets you going. 

Enjoy the video and Thank you for sticking with me :)
