Do you have a stash of your mom’s vintage costume pearls lying around? Freshen them up and give them to her, restyled, for Mothers Day. This restyle project was inspired by a necklace spotted at Anthropologie with a price tag of $78. Make one yourself for just pennies. This is modeled after a collar necklace but with a twist.

Royal Wedding Fever – Wedding Dress Re-Styled
The Royal Wedding is just days away and since everyone loves a fairy tale, I used the Royal Wedding as inspiration to transforms a late 1980’s / early 1990’s style wedding dress into a contemporary wedding frock for a fun spirited occasion, with a touch of the hottest wedding trend, black.
I put out a request on Facebook and the offers came — Spring cleaning I guess.

A plain T-shirt can be great when you feel like cleaning out your fridge, but if you have bigger plans, it might be time to shake it up a bit. And if you mix that plain tee with a worn-out blouse, you’ll have a winning combo for an all-new piece.

It’s nearing summer, which means sunglasses are no longer a fashion statement but a necessity. But let’s not let the personal style go. I picked up a pair of bedazzled shades in Mesa’s The Goods Store and decided to use a little inspiration to jazz up my own pair (and an equally necessary carrying case) by adding a healthy dose of cabochons, which can found in many stores on Etsy and at local crafty spots including SAS.

You know how sometimes when you pick up your laundry from the cleaners there is something that belongs to someone else stuck in the middle. And you intended to return it once you discovered the error but you kept forgetting to take it with you. Then a month went by and you thought about how embarrassed you were to return it and that they had probably paid the person for the missing shirt already so why bother. You have the guilty evidence hanging, still in the bag, in your closet and ask what should be done with it?
How about dyeing it to hide it’s original identity and then turning it into a mini-dress to wear with leggings.
