Pop goes the weasel







...because the weasel goes pop! That is what my eyeballs just did when I discovered Squint this morning. (ironic name, huh?) I love to decorate myself with oogles of clothes, jewelry, handbags and shoes, but I really love to decorate my home too! This images are making me crazy! Filling my head with a ton of ideas for my new office/studio... Squint, how I love you so.

Fab Tutorial by Sachiko of Tea Rose Home

The following tutorial has been reposted from Tea Rose Home because I fell in LOVE with Sachiko's diy mad skills and impeccable taste. Also check out her newest tutorial (beware you may fall in love too!) Have fun and craft your heart out!



I have been a big fan of Down East Basics and Shade for a few years now. I wear Wonder tees from Down East all the time. They are comfortable, modest (hide everything I need to hide and when I bend over it doesn't flash people) and since it is not baggy, I wear it under a cardigan all the time.

There is only thing I was hoping for... I wanted the same shirt, but with a little bit more feminity and flare.

Then, one day I was at a Down East store, and going through their sales rack and found this...(The folded shirt on the left is my old shirt, I am going to use this too.)




I couldn't believe my eyes, yes, I know, it was a $1!!! I asked if there are more in the back, but he said this was a left over from two summers ago, and there is no more... oh well, lucky me! I have a perfect plan for this shirt.

1. Cut the side of one shirt and open it up. Use the picture as a guide and cut up 6 peices of 2 1/2" X 12" and 2 peices of 1 1/4" strips.


2. Using big stitches, sew 2 1/2" strips a 1/4" from the edge. Pull one thread to make the ruffles. I made the the top of the ruffles 7" wide.


3. Sew the 1 1/4" strips together and make longer strips. Using big stitches, sew
the middle, pull one string to make ruffles.


4. First, pin the long strips around the neck line. Don't forget to leave the front part for the other ruffles.


5. Then, attach the front ruffles. Make sure that the center of the shirt and center of the ruffle lines up.


6. To add the second row of ruffles, measure 1 1/2" from the edge of the first row of ruffles and line the top of the next row to it. Sew. Repeat the process to complete the shirt.

You can stop here. The shirt look perfectly ok... but I added a corsage. If you want to do so, keep reading...


7. To make the fabric string: cut one 1/2" string and strech it. To make the corsage, cut 1" strips, sew the center with big stitches and make ruffle first.



8. Take the ruffle you made at step 7, and fold it in half.


9. To start sewing the corsage, roll up the end, and start sewing the folded part, and keep spinning and sewing...



10. There, you have a flower...Now, sew them onto your desired place and the only thing left for you to do is enjoy.


That is what I did today.



Except, Rachel kept telling people, "There is an American flag hiding!" and she tried to lift up the ruffles... shhhh, naughty girl.

Jewelry Art Designs


After a wonderful weekend filled with long talks over coffee and shopping with my dear friend, I realized after trying to keep my money in my wallet, that indeed, I am absolutely obsessed with shoes, accessories and jewelry! With just a simple dress or tunic you can dress up your get-up as much as you want.

Last week I received this gorgeous bijoux ring (featured below) from Jewelry Art Designs. I love the unique design and the fun, bright hues! With fabulous quality pieces that won't break the bank, you can't go wrong. Since the California sun is just around the corner for me (moving in less than 6 weeks!) I was inspired to put together a simple and chic summer outfit.


Copenhagen makes a stretch

I just heard some very interesting news and I'm beyond jealous I won't be here in Denmark when it happens. Copenhagen Fashion Week has recently announced that they will be hosting the world's longest runway this fall, with it stretching 1/3 kilometers (0.8 miles)! Holy Smokes! This fashion phenomenon will be between the "Strøget" (walking street) right in the heart of every ah-mazing Danish and European boutique you can imagine! J-E-A-L-O-U-S. I've strolled down this street many times spending way too much money, but never have I seen this. The event will house more than 200 models and I think, just perhaps... maybe this will bring Danish design in the forefront of the competition. This tiny country has quite alot to brag about.

my apologies...

Between the emergency trip to the vet yesterday and the continuing moving, packing and other personal things, I must take the week off. I will be back Monday with some fab finds... Enjoy your week! xoxo

Bridal styles of the rich and famous



pattis bridal gown, lace cake, black clutch,
sequin flower headband, anna christian louboutin heels



Did all you lovelies have a wonderful weekend? I took a slighter long one due to packing and planning. Has anyone ever moved between countries before? Let me just say it's not the easiest thing in the world to do. I hope you are all refreshed for work, school and some wedding inspiration!

As I mentioned a few months ago I was working on a little (or perhaps in my world it's actually quite BIG). Bree's Project Wedding! Yes, it's official we have set a wedding date, August 22 in Southern California! The planning has been well underway, yet the ideas and inspiration in my head are all over the place. We have an idea of what we want but the details are still being worked on. I have never planned a wedding before (especially my own!) so I am quite overwhelmed with all the choices of dresses, jewelry, flowers, cake, etc. From now and up until the big day I will share my style journey all the way to the aisle with you! I'm hoping you will pitch in your two cents and pass any advice to me along the way. I won't be hiring a wedding planner as I'm a crafty (mutha$%&#@*!) and I think I can handle being a diy bride.

Let the inspiration begin!
