You’ve seen your fair share of box pleated skirts from me. My first was in this chartreuse pleated skirt, and my second in this gold midi skirt for a new years party. Both times I made these skirts, I did a whole lot of math and a whole lot of pinning. I’m an engineer, and I still managed to mess this up a few times before getting it right.

If you follow fashion, you’ve seen this Rebecca Minkoff bag. It’s been all over spring fashion week in many venues, just being happy and fun and gorgeous. What makes this bag so unique is that it’s adorned in colorful, leather tassels! Like me, you may recognize that you already own way too many purses to really justify buying another one, especially when that purse is over $200 and definitely too trendy to wear over many years to come.

My closet is so packed to the brim it’s insane. In my defense, it’s really small, but it pushes me to live a simpler life with fewer things. I keep trying to clean out my closet and every time manage to get rid approximately one item. Then I come up with another sewing project and fill it up with 4 more new things… #crafterproblems. Since my closet is about to burst, I have to focus on making pieces that are more versatile. Let’s get down to the basics, shall we? Continue reading “Drop Shoulder Long Sleeve Tee Sewing Tutorial”
Blush, the newest color of the season, has me all kinds of excited. Flattering on all sorts of skin tones, it’s no wonder everyone has been sporting it in coats, accessories, and dresses. Pink is also the perfect color for a Valentine’s Day getup, and it’s only a week away! Though Kyle and I aren’t huge Valentine’s Day enthusiasts, usually spending the day together just cooking and hanging out to avoid the craziness of restaurants, I’m open to the commitment of wearing pink.

This post should not be coming as any surprise, seeing as I told you I was totally gung ho about redecorating my new sofa with none other than fur pillows. They are all over the place in the stores, and I think that they give a really nice contrast in texture to a modern space. I shopped around and found some beautiful ones at Target, Pottery Barn, and Overstock, but none of them had removable pillow cases! There’s no way that furry pillow is not going to need a wash every once in a while… Continue reading “DIY Fur Pillow Cases”
