le voyage creatif
we are rapidly approaching the move out day of our beloved 'dodgy lodger'.
it comes with sadness to be losing the daily interactions with one of our favorite people.
it also means that I will have a new room to decorate and design, and
sweet P has suggested that I make this room my creative space to design, sew, write, and create.
i am thinking about using pale greys, dusty browns, creams and a dash of pale dusty pink as my colors.
the interiors in this spread are a great example of the calming effect of grey.

DIY Cut out shoulder denim shirt by Fashion Zen
Posted a while ago here about how much I loved the DIY potential of Hanelli's cut out shoulder denim shirt. Iris from Fashion Zen has done just that and as usual looks gorgeous!

DIY Mickey Mouse Ear Headband
Still love them.... Use whatever you can to make them - black pipe cleaners and a black headband are a good start.

DIY I'd love to do.... Sheer Maxi Skirt
Love the sheer layers. Need some sheer black fabric to DIY this myself.

DIY Harem Belt
This gorgeous outfit has been put together by wearing a long sleeved jumpsuit as pants, and then wrapping the top of the jumpsuit like a belt. So cool!

DIY Ribbon Suspenders
Wrap some ribbon around your waist like a belt and either tie in a bow at the back or stitch in place. Then measure and cut two pieces of ribbon to sit like suspenders. Sew onto the belt at the front and the back.

DIY Patchwork Denim Cut offs
Remove the pockets from a thrifted pair of denim cut offs, trace them onto some floral/leopard/striped fabric, cut out the fabric and then stitch/glue onto the shorts.

DIY Elastic Bralette
Love the elastic bralette/corset worn over a nude dress, and the double thick straps. I think I might have linked it before but Monoxious provides a great tutorial (here) for how to make an elastic harness. All you need is some black elastic, some pins, needle and thread - and a willing friend/dress form to pin it on.

DIY Bird Hair Piece
Such a cute and novel idea for a party or festival! Love it. These cute little birds can be bought at craft stores or pound stores, wack in your hair and go! The second photo down is the super stylish sister of one of my best friends, she's a budding clothes designer for a brand called Ziesemer, and she makes the most beautiful things (including the dress she's wearing in the photo)! Her blog is here. If that wasn't enough - their mum makes the most AMAZING hats for Ascot Hats.What a creative family!

Shucks!
Have been mentioned on Outsapop Trashion's website. So chuffed, given that I've checked her blog every day for going on two years now!
DIY Folded Waistband
The folded down waistband has obviously crossed over from 'only after a massive meal' into the mainsteam. Perhaps you could get out all those shorts you can no longer button up?

DIY Suspender Skirt
Have been doing some webslacking on Asos (where else?) and found this super cute suspender skirt. How easy would it be to take a bodycon skirt, and add some suspenders like this? I saw something similar on Am-lul's blog a while ago but it only just clicked how easy it would be!

DIY Shearling / Sheepskin Jacket
The sheepskin bomber jackets are going to be hitting the designer stores and highstreets in force this coming A/W (and you were thinking its summer???). Inspired by these, I am going to add a wide sheepskin collar over the top of my black leather bomber jacket and take it from there! The sheepskin collar I will make by buying some sheepskin fabric, cutting a rectangle and then angling the edges so it looks like a collar when thrown around my neck. I know it sounds cliche but honestly, why buy when you can DIY?
