quite possibly the most easiest DIY of the century

This all started because of the exorbitant prices retailers expect us to pay for a pair of denim cutoffs. I refuse to pay more money than I would in buying a pair of long denim jeans because there's a significantly less amount of fabric used in making shorts. Hello, has anyone realized that they don't think that we notice this?So I went to a local op-shop and tried on a couple of jeans, found a pair that fit snug, paid 7 bucks for them, took them home and chopped the legs off. Hemming is recommended but I just rolled mine up to the desired length and ta da! Experiment with different colours, styles, distressed denim- you name it.
I'm going to be wearing mine all summer.

I heart knits

Let's face the facts, if you open my wardrobe you will see that I own a lot of knitwear. I think that knits are the most versatile, easy-to-wear, chic yet simple and interesting pieces of clothing. Combine another thing I adore, hand-made goods + knitwear and I will faint in delight. Beanies, mittens, gloves, cardigans.....that's why I love knits to the death!
Here is a project I started on a while ago, the picture to the left is a work-in-progress. Uh....if you delve deeper into my wardrobe you can pretty much guess that yep, I own a lot of scarfs too and not just the knitted types...But when the weather starts to get chilly, my mind just absent mindedly ponders over this season's neckwear. I fell in love with the United Colors of Benetton chain scarf when it came out a while back.Remember these gorgeous pictures? I love Benetton ads, they are so creative & colourful.
I was wondering if I should attempt to make a chain link scarf on my own as a DIY but I figured it would take way too much time, so it's just a normal scarf this time.

DIY: charm necklace

This is probably one of the easiest do-it-yourself projects that you'll ever come across. Go to your local craft store, a market, or dig around at home and when you discover a certain charm or trinket that you like- thread a leather cord, string, or ribbon (yellow, in my case) through it- voila! you have a new necklace to accessorise your outfit.
