NEW: Lace Flats
The day before yesterday I was in the H&M trying to decide if I wanted to buy these or not.. I didn't figuring I had so many shoes already.. went home, turned on the computer and started browsing my favorite blogs to catch up on posts.. Then I saw the Cherry Blossom Girl's posts with the Lace Valentino Boots and the Lace Louboutin's. Well that did the trick for me haha of course these are nowhere near as great as the Valentino's or Louboutin's but I'm really happy with them! Also they are made of a mesh like material so who knows maybe I will embellish them some day?

In recent issue of GQ magazine (US edition), I came across this ad for The Art of Shaving:
The Chinese translation of "The Ambassador of Smooth" as 平稳大使 is contextually incorrect.
平稳 refers to stability, not related to physical surface condition, which shaving is about. Nor the American English slang usage of "smooth" in terms of finesse.
平稳大使 would be better suited as ad slogan for a physical therapy clinic, than hawking male grooming products.

OUTFIT: shirt dress
I started to play with layering different socks on top of each other (I used sheer panty socks)I kind of like the effect :)
Also I'm wearing eyeliner and I was surprised to see what a difference it actually makes!
ps. This "wall" is my wardrobe/closet! I will open it soon for some pics :)

OUTFIT: Daisy Dress
Wearing: Vintage Daisy Dress from Yo Vintage, (fake) Converse
These photos where taken in New York a few months ago and somehow a bit forgotten? (damn you jet lag!!)
Right now I'm busy making all my summer outfits winter proof by just adding black tights and cardigans to outfits, easy peasy!
Oh I do have to tell you about the shoes! When going to New York you will need to bring good "walking shoes" since you will be walking a lot! Packing wise I wanted to bring shoes I could simply tuck a way easy so I bought these a day before the trip for $3 (yes three) at the H&M (just for this trip) in the end maybe that wasn't the smartest move since the shoes were new and thus.. hurting feet! next time I will stick with my old sneakers :)

Top 10 Fashion Blogger DIY's
(photo by SEMI)
Today's Top 10 is all about DIY's! I will give you my favorite 10 DIY bloggers and 2 DIY trends that I just had to include in this post as well.
I was thinking a long time about how to best explain the reasoning behind my favorite 10 DIY bloggers (too bad I couldn't find a DIY for that) I came to the following;
(this kind of references to a certain blogger in my top 10 of course)(hmm sounds kind of cheesy, doesn't it?)
So check out my list of 10 and the "2 words of the season" and my "3rd thought in the morning" (both very much DIY related!)
2 words of the season:
Glitter Shoes!Ever since seeing the Miu Miu's, sparkles have been on my mind!
Glitter on the heels, glitter on the back of the shoe, the whole shoe glittered.. It's not only a great DIY for this season it's actually a lot of fun doing!
These are my favorite glitter shoe tutorials:
Diy Glitter shoes by Burda Style (they covered the fixating of the glitters as well!!)
Le fanciulle diy sparkly boots and glitter heel
DIY Glitter Converse by Love Meagan
My 3rd thought in the morning: (thought 1; Coffee, Thought 2; food)
STUD EVERYTHING!
Yes, this keeps being on my mind! Stud, studs, studding..
I still want a pair of studded converse, boots, jeans and leather jacket, just about everything.
I did bought a bunch of studs 2 years ago and failed miserably, the studs kept falling out! So best is to stick with the pro's on this one like Park&Cube here (ahhh she uses a knife and a ruler to bend the darn things!) and ps. I made this (for refinery29) here (ahhh heavy duty tools as well!)
and finally the top 10!
1) PARK&CUBEShinni still has some of the best DIY's ever and shows us in very well made tutorials how to do it. Her DIY's are very well executed and are my absolute reference in how-to-go-about-things (like studding and ripping jeans) and that makes her my number 1.

2) Love Aesthetics
Ivania's DIY's are brilliant, I don't think I have to say more..
http://love-aesthetics.blogspot.com/search/label/DIY
3) Vanilla Scented
Maria's blog is crucial for my DIY list! Most of her creative work are her own designs and art works and thus not really diy's and the (real) diy's go often without a tutorial and are sometimes made after other bloggers tutorials (the fringed shoulder pad jacket and draped skirt are via anywho.dk) BUT she's massive inspiration and I'm a very big fan of her designs, the reason her blog is crucial for my list is the fact that when she does a simple diy she thinks outside of the box and translates it in perfect choices of fabrics, colors and placements giving a very own and updated look to a well-known concept!!
4) SEMI
Well, hello there birds! Why didn't I think of this dress?
and why didn't anybody else including me think of placing a different color studs under the bag? I'm so going to spray paint studs!! http://semijewels.blogspot.com/
5) A Pair & A Spare
I really like the cut&sew DIY's and those Prada's are bloody Brilliant!!
http://apair-andaspare.blogspot.com/
ps. very good post about How To DIY!
pps. will be using this tutorial to spray paint studs!
6) Honestly WTF
Loads of my friends and family will be getting bracelets for Christmas!
7) Because I'm Addicted
So many good DIY's!! well executed and good tutorials!!
http://becauseimaddicted.net/search/label/diy
Love the collages and the studded trench is just asking to be made!
http://psimadethis.com/
p.s. they even have a book!
9) Once the Foxy Man now Discount Universe
I still check the old posts from the foxyman on a regular basis, the finger tip glove diy is amazing and the blog is the best diy inspiration! The Discount Universe (blog and store) is also possibly the best inspiration out there when it comes to diy's! Best studded everything out there!! and if I had $$$ I would buy everything!
http://thefoxyman.blogspot.com/
http://www.discountuniverse.com.au/
10) MONOXIOUS
Also very well executed diy's that will come in handy for future projects, like the chain harness, chain collar necklace, the bunny ears and bracelet.
11) COCOROSA
me :)
well I'm not really part of my own list..
Of course there are blogs that should have made my list and didn't this time (stupid number 10)like Outsapop and Chic Steals which are massive DIY resources!! So check them out too!
ps. the person who counts the amount of the word "DIY" in this post gets a cookie ;)
