DIY - Louis Vuitton Inspired Cardi

I just love, love, love Louis Vuitton's new collection. It is so feminine and chic. Marc Jacob's did a great job with designing this, it's on so many front covers of March issues. When I saw it first in L'Officiel Magazine I immediately knew I was going to DIY something. I was especially inspired by the green piece with the lace collar below. So I found myself a pastel green cardigan and some lace, simply sewed it on, et voila! Of course you can also add the big white buttons for more of a look alike. XO

Gingham-spiration

I always remember this one image of Audrey with her gingham pants, a bike and a dog in the basket. I myself have 2 pairs of gingham pants, they were my mothers. I remember getting matching palm leave pants and then she had that same model pant made in beige/white & black/white gingham. Last spring I made her pick 'em from the back of her closet and they were still there... she said there is something about them she can't give up on. They are classics I think!! XO

Neon Bracelets

Have I told you yet that my latest obsession is neon jewelry? It might be one way to incorporate wishful warm weather fashion into this freezing cold Holland has had lately. I've kept myself busy staying in and crafting neon bracelets. The one day I left the house (besides to and from work) I went to the Sunday Market  and discovered Fauv and she had the perfect addition to my latest self-made neon bracelets. (Almost) Freezing my feet off last Sunday was well worth meeting the girl behind Fauv.nl.

  Left to Right; Yellow-DIY, Green-Fauv, Orange & Pink-DIY, Yellow & Blue-Forever21

Fauv.nl came to exist because of the passion for jewelry of a fashionable girl. Last year owner and collector Roxanne de Boom started her own web-shop, where she sells her own creations (see my bracelet above) and vintage jewelry thrifted from various trips to fashion cities. She has an eye for detail and adds the finishing touch to your outfit. Go ahead and visit her site.

Vday DIY ideas

I'm not the kind of person that is crazy about valentine's day, but when I see all the creative gift ideas on every website possible, I sort of get intrigued. Below are some easy and fun ideas to DIY for your valentine. Hope you like! XO

For your mom - Get a bar of chocolate and rewrap it with decorative paper, a sweet, personalized message and a ornament/keepsake.

 For a friend - Put together a crafts starter kit. You can add anything really. For some one who would like to start making bracelets, get nice beads, chain, pliers etc. other kit ideas; for someone that starts scrapbooking, card making or sewing.

For your lover - Put together a movie night box. Start with a DVD of choice of course, Add sparkle to drink, and interactive dessert like sticks and marshmallows (to hold over a candle) or a mini chocolate fondue set.

DIY; Tory Burch inspired Scarf + Winter wonder snaps

Bonjour winter! We had a wonderful snowy weekend, right as we were about to give up on winter. I was supposed to travel to Brussels by train, due to the snow there were big delays and hardly any trains. I stayed in Amsterdam instead. A group of friends and I walked through the (Vondel) park at night, threw some snowballs, froze our fingers off and after went to a cafe and had hot tea. Sunday we walked some more and snapped some pics.

DIY Pom-Pom Scarf

All you need is a nice fabric and colorful pom-poms. I went for a wool-like fabric (winter-style) and contrasting yellow color. Simply seam the fabric and sew on the pom-poms, Et Voila! your own Tory Burch scarf. (I'm sure to make a spring edition too!)
