Outfit/ Veiled Cap & Neon

That’s what i wore this weekend : veiled cap and neon bag. There’s actually nothing brand new in this outfit -except the DIY cap- but i never have enough of large tops and maxi pants.

Same thing for this bag, the last season’s hot piece. Anyways, i find there’s always a way to refresh it !

Good morning everyone!

DIY/ Veiled Cap

“Better than an eyeliner”, “This year’s street, easy and rock accessory”. These are the words of Lauren Bastide & everything i kept in mind from the controversy topic about veiled hats in the french Elle Magazine.

The veiled cap, that’s today DIY! I’m completely mad of it, i’d wear it anytime, any day…
Happy monday everyone!

You’ll need:

- a sporty black cap, this one at H&M

- a tick veiled material 15 cm x 30 cm

-needles, scissors, thread.

Make some pleats inside of the cap, maintain them with needles. Sew.

Cut the front in a light round shape. Done!

Outfit/ DIY Shirt Leather Dress

As i mentioned to you last time, this leather material has been in my mind for months -without exactly knowing what i’d do with it (a bag, a skirt, or just garments details?) Anyways, i’ve been focused on minimalistic lines associated with white color.

This material doesn’t need much more finally, so i’ve only needed a straight line basic shirt (this one from H&M Men) to extend the length with a large leather cut and get a mini dress from it. It might look quite easy at first sight, but the fact is, that this leather part can’t be straight if you want it to suit to your body shape… So it’s been also a question of feelings!

DIY/ Leather White Project

This week i’ve finally made something from this… Can’t wait to show you the result tomorrow, stay tuned!

Home Decor/ Jewels Hanger

I was looking for a new way to hang some accessories on a unique display as i finally thought about Marguerite! renamed cow head and wall decorating in my living room. There were in the design shop several designs and colors available, i chose a mix of crochet, flowers and fine serigraphy prints.

This way i can easily find the accessories and jewels i aim to wear next days…

Vintage DIY chain broach, DIY h&m ring. Vintage antique green & silver bracelet and large golden woven bracelet.
Feather headband by Evita Peroni. DIY pearls & tulle necklace.
Galeries Lafayette scarf. Vintage suede belt.

Wall decor, MIHO unexpected Italy.

DIY/ Lace Trench

This project is quite old, but i’ve never had the opportunity to show it here on the blog, but today is the day! Trench coats are basically very casual items, they fit to everyone and to every “tee+ jeans” outfit; so i thought that lace could bring a bit chic in the daily life. The silhouette is also becoming lighter thanks to the cut out borders, that’s why i still love to wear this piece.

Freshly found in a french shop, this lilac top- remember this post, if it’s true that pastel tones are not my favorite, they’re looking different combined with neutral colors like grey & black…

I have unfortunately no concrete picture of this DIY project, but you can follow these steps;

*you’ll need about 1,50 m ribbon lace (8 cm high), a sewing chalk, scissors, needles, pins, a sewing machine.

-draw regular cut-outs lines on the trench borders, about 10 cm from the bottom hem.

-maintain the lining & the outside material together, and cut onto this line

-place the lace ribbon between the lining and the outside material.

-maintain first the lace with hand stitches, then stitch with the sewing machine by using the “lace” program if you have one.

-finally cut out a bit along the lace, the result will be even more smoothy.

Monday DIY Inspo

Inspired today by Roksanda Ilincic tulip sleeves (it would be perfect on this top), fine lace, chain details… and this leather material that reminds me of textures of beach pebbles, did you already noticed that?

More about the last DIY projects soon… I hope you’ve had a nice weekend!

Outfit/Grey & Pink

It’s been pretty cold since yesterday, so i went out matching a fine wool & cotton top with a silk pants -felt really comfortable in it! I’m not sure about the color, it looks sometimes pink, sometimes red according to the weather.

So i’m enjoying the last days at home, the calm before the storm!
