Alberto Seveso


This puts an entirely different spin on Rorschach's Ink Blot Test! Came across once again, another awesome post by HONETLY...WTF about the work of Alberto Seveso. Seveso is an illustrator and graphic designer who captured a series of ink drops into water. He titles the series poetically, Disastro Ecologico. You can also download the images for to be saved as wallpaper HERE. Gorgeous!

DIY: Milkmaid Braids


Directions:

TIP: If you want some strands loose on either side, pull them out before you start braiding your hair.



1. Split your hair down the middle.
2. Take one side, braid it loosely and bring it up to crown of your head and
pin it down with a bobby pin.
3. Repeat process for the other side making sure to tuck it underneath the other
braid and pin it
down.





It's pretty simple but a fun way to wear your braids.

Beckett




Urban Outfitters Silk Blouse, Forever21 jeans, vintage Joan&David Oxford Heels

Seriously...How is it already Monday? lol. This outfit was brought to you by the character, Detective Kate Beckett, from the t.v. show "Castle." Her fall wardrobe has consisted of an array of collared buttoned ups. I myself have never worn my blouses buttoned all the way to the top. Since, collars seem to be all the rage season...I thought why not give it a try? What do you all think?



Also, sorry for the weird color differences. The close up shots is actually the real color of the blouse. I don't know why it looks darker in shots from a distance even with flash.

You can only imagine my excitement when I found a baby version of this chocolate... I know I know I am a freak. lol.

DIY: Bejeweled Bib Necklace


This past Christmas, I was determined to make a few of the presents I would be giving away to my close girlfriends. I have been eyeing bejeweled bib necklaces for some time now and thought...why not give it a try. It's pretty simple but a bit time consuming.


What you'll need: felt of your color choice, gems, glass beads, sequins, scissors, fabric glue, thread

Directions:

1. Take your gems and without gluing them down plan out the design of your
necklace.

2. Glue down the gems you can.

3. Cut around the outermost gems leaving about a millimeter of felt from the gem.
4. Sew in the glass beads, sequins, other gems (some come with holes) to fill in
the empty spaces.

5. Take some ribbon and sew it to the ends.

There you have it! You very own bejeweled bib necklace that can be trown on any outfit for that extra pizzazz!


Tip: If you don't want all of those threads in back to be seen, trace out a piece of cloth of the same size and shape and glue it over the back.

I had some leftover felt and jewels and made some earrings too!


Happy Weekend Ya'll!

DIY: Denim Vest

Inspiration:

Cue *LIGHT BULB!* Why not make a denim vest out of an old denim jacket that I could then throw over my leather jacket? All I can say is, thank God I didn't toss out that old denim jacket that sadly had been hanging in my closet next to it's replacement for quite some time now.

Just take a pair of sharp scissors and snip off the sleeves where the hems begin at the shoulder.

BEFORE:

AFTER:





This way I could this vest over tops, t-shirts, and dresses in the like.
