Before & After: Lace top

This top was hanging in my closet without being worn. The ruffles were too much, so I decided to cut it of and now I have a cute basic lace top, which I can wear everyday.

Punk Exhibition MET Museum - Chaos To Couture

Last weekend I went to the Punk Exhibition in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. My expectations were not high, but it was amazing and I loved it!!
I got some great new DIY ideas, because during the time of the punk fashion DIY created clothing had a large influence. Designers used safety pins, studs, ripped clothes, zippers, dip dye, slogans and logos on tees.
Even though we were not aloud to take pictures, I took some with my Iphone (this is why the quality is low). I wish I could have taken pictures of everything!

I love the top, it is made with zippers and pink fabric. The sheer skirt makes the outfit complete.

Transparent clutch

Jewelry made with safety pins. You can not see it on the picture, but there was a ring made of a safety pin and I was so sad that I could not afford it. But maybe I can make it myself.

If you can go to the exhibition, you should go! It is worth it!!

DIY Luxury Inspiration: Zippers

Yesterday I was at my internship and I looked again at the dresses from the MET Gala. When I saw the dress from Rooney Mara, I thought of a DIY project with zippers.

DIY Luxury Inspiration: Sandals

I saw cute sandals on Ebay, but I thought they were pricy and especially with Ebay if you are not sure about the quality. This is why I thought of a new DIY project. Buy a cute pair of sandals and DIY them yourself. You can use pearls, rhinestones, studs, etc. I want to make the sandals who look like the pair from Ebay, but maybe with a red pair of sandals. It makes it a little more special and I already own a black pair of sandals.

DIY VLuxury: Lace bra top

I found this dress in my closet, never worn. I really like the bra top trend, so I decided to cut the top part. Now I have a cute lace bra top.

I like to wear pencil skirts and high waisted shorts with my bra top, so I was doing some online shopping to look for some inspiration for combinations.

DIY Luxury Inspiration: Rings

I think accessories are one of the most important things of your outfit, it completes your total look. Every day I wear rings, bracelets, my watch, necklaces, I just love wearing it. Rings I like the most and I have a lot of them, but a girl can never have enough of course! That is why I got some DIY inspiration for rings.

It is easy to make, you only have to buy a plain ring where you can glue something on. It can be everything, a stone, a button, a flower, a skull, etc. Use your creativity.

It also made me think of a place to keep my jewelry and it is nice to make a holder like you see on the picture. I also dream of a drawer with all my jewelry.
