DIY: Belstaff PF 2013 Dress

I recently saw this dress on Style.com. It's from the Belstaff Pre-Fall 2013 collection. It's insanely classy and I LOVE it so much.

I made it a touch simpler (less lines) for the sake of sanity, and removed the sleeves. I didn't like the sleeves once I pinned them on. If I were to do this DIY again, I would have made the front panel thinner for a more slimming effect. It's pretty obvious that I didn't cut the pattern exactly how I wanted it, but it's a pretty good effort so overall, I'm ok with it. 

This type of dress is pretty easy to do. You want to get a simple sheath dress pattern, then cut it up. It's the easiest way to do colorblocking and I find it to give you clean lines. 

It's a bit crooked, but I think that it's something only I can see =.=;; I'm kind of a perfectionist. 

DIY: Furry Earmuffs

I friggin LOVE earmuffs! I also have leftover fur from my fur vest project. 

Cost: 3$ (Bought the headband on sale from payless)
Time to Make: 1 hr (not including glue drying time). 

1. Cut out circles of fur and lining. I used a foam cup as a guide. 
2. Glue the fur to the outside of the headband. Then glue the lining to the fur, like a little sandwich. 

3. You want to wait for the glue to dry completely. I used Aileene's Jewel It Glue so it took like 3 hours to dry completely. If you use hot glue, then it'll dry in like 1 second. 

4. With another round of fur and lining, whip stitch half of it together. Then, stuff it with a big of fluff, then sew it shut. 

5. Sew it onto the headband. This should be on the inside of the earmuff. It's like a little pillow that protects your ears from the headband. 

Finished project: I promise to do an outfit with it!

Inspiration for Always

The cover of Vogue is GOLD. I love gold. I love gold everything. I love Gwen Stefani. 

I'm going to make that gold sequined jacket. 

Coach Gramercy Coin Purse: Thanks to my sis

Thanks may may! I love my little sis! She recently gifted a small coin purse to me. 

My sister has excellent taste. I generally don't like Coach because of it's splashy bag designs. It's really not necessary to display COAAAACHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IIII WEEEARRR COOOACHHHHH on your clothing. However, this is more understated because the logo is embossed on, it doesn't scream Coach logo. 

Black Friday Haul

It's been forever since I lasted posted, but that's because I've been really busy with school. I promise that I'll post more often during winter vacation!

But I got Nine West Boots on sale at Macy's during their massive boots sale. Genuine leather uppers never felt so good.
