DIY Wrapped Jersey Skirt

Oldie.But.Goodie from AfterDRK. Check out the video tutorial here.

Ps. just completed a DIY that is surely going to become a favourite. Can't wait to show you!

DIY Beaded Grey Marl Sweatshirt

The addition of cute beading to a laid back grey marl sweatshirt really does it for me. Found this pic over at AfterDRK. Putting it on my list.

I've also recently become addicted to a blog called Brisbane Daily Photo. Brisbane is my home town in Australia, and lucky for me the photographer lives in the quirky but lovable suburb of West End that I grew up in. For those of you living away from your orginal home town, you probably know how nice it is to be reminded of your favourite old haunts. It makes me a little bit sentimental to say the least (this is the part where my parents say 'ohhh well then why wont you come hooommme???')  From what I understand there are daily photo blogs like this for almost every city around the world - I think there is a search function on Brisbane Daily Photo which allows you to find your city. Head over and check it out.

DIY Deconstructed Camel and Marl Shirt

I adore this look. Cut the sleeves off a sand coloured business shirt (this one might be leather but thats a bit hard to DIY), replace with grey marl sleeves from a tee or sweater. Pair with a full black skirt - I have a gorgeous wool one from Rome that I adore that would go perfectly with this look. Oh, by the way, if you get sick of your full Betty Draper style midi skirts, cute them into mini skirts like this.

By the way, I have soooo much DIY inspiration stored up, but I hate to bombard you with posts, do you think less is more?

DIY Sweatshirt Cardigan

Ok so who doesn't love grey marl? Grey marl DIYs, well they're pretty much up there with my favourite things of all time. The lovely Hannah of Thursdays Child put me onto this amazing DIY (I love when my readers let me know about their favourite DIYs!). A cardigan made out of an old sweatshirt from Heart Charlie (love this blog too, her addiction to stripes is lovely).  I've done this before with a pink silk top, created a little jacket by simply cutting down the middle and stitching the edges. Simples!

DIY Zip Shoulder Sweat Shirt

Ahhhhh Vanessa's back! So very happy. This pic sums up everything I love about her photography, beautiful shots of flirty fun real women. And doesn't the top in the photo scream DIY? Attach some zips to a grey marl sweatshirt, unzip to show some sexy shoulder.

DIY Grey Marl Cocoon Dress

These dresses look so comfy and gorgeous - perfect for the weather cooling down. Buy a mens grey marl hooded jumper in atleast XXL. Cut off the hood - add embellishments at the shoulders like leather, mesh, fringing etc etc. Wear with tights and boots.

DIY Dree Hemingway's Jersey Wrap Skirt

Have just found out from Who What Wear that Dree Hemingway made this gorgeous grey skirt one day when she was bored, definite DIY inspiration. Long pieces of jersey are great for creating layered and draped skirts. You'll need:

• Some grey marl jersey fabric, about the size of a bath towel
• pins, needle and thread
• great legs

Simply wrap around a few times, and drape and pull tight to create the v and runched fabric at the front. Then tie/pin or sew the fabric in place.
