This collection is still the typical Moschino Chic and Cheap with varieties of style( girly,rockish,edgy) and color (pastel, bold,monochrome) mixed up with some tartan fabric, and some fur. well, seems like a weird random collection but trust me it's not. you can check out the entire collection in style.com   (pssh... btw,some of them are on my DIY's list)

Topshop's Chiffon Wrapped Chain Bracelet (by Freedom for Topshop)

This bracelet was actually listed at my christmas wishlist last year. and the thing is i dont get what i want. last year i went to Hongkong . if you have read my introduction in my profile in this blog you guys know that i live in a very nice city called surabaya that don't have topshop, sephora and h&m.  that's why ,when my mom told me we're going to hongkong, i list everything that i wanted.  Apparently i didn't get this bracelet because they were out of stock or whatever and since i really want this bracelet, i decided to make it myself.

this is my own personal stocking-wrapped chain bracelet. P.S. i love it!

\

So, here is what you will need to make this gorgeous bracelet:

1. big gold chain

2. stocking (i use dark brown, but you can try other color that you like) or opaque

How to?

1. if you are using opaque, cut the undies part. for stocking, cut out the thick part of the stocking. also cut the leg part so it will be like a ribbon.

the thick part that i meant is the darker one (in this picture) 

2. After that, take one of the stocking and twist it.

3. start wrap around the chain with the stocking , but don't forget to leave about 15 cm of stocking at both ends of the chain.

4. pull both side of the stocking to tighten the bracelet.

5. knot the stocking at the end of the chain.

6. now use the other stocking to wrap the other side of the chain. for this second one i didn't wrap all of the chain so the bracelet will look more gold-y and dark brown-y instead of just dark brown. 

7. tie those left stocking together and make a big bow out if it. 

*awkward smile*

TADAAAA!!! :D

3. scissor.

Chanel's Giant Ivory Pearl Bow Evening Purse.

  The first time I saw this picture, I thought they were a pair of earrings. But it turns out that they are a giant pearl purse that doesn't look like purse to me(not at all) . But then I thought , well, why not make an earrings that looks like those Chanel purse? *ideas-popping-out-like-popcorn*

Bottega Veneta's silk-trimmed cotton shirt

After i saw this shirt on net-a-porter i know right away that this thing will definitely be in my Do It Yourself list. i haven't do it but i will post the DIY tutorial as soon as I'm finished with final exams.

But basicly, this shirt is actually pretty easy to make. 

what you need: 

plain white long sleeve t-shirt (round collar), 

black ribbon about 2m,

white/ transparent buttons 

fabric glue 

sewing kit (thread and needle)

first, cut the (1st) black ribbon with the length that suits your t-shirt (from the bottom of the round neck to the bottom of the shirt).then cut other ribbons for the accesories; 

(2nd)1/2 ,the length of the 1st ribbon, 

(3rd)1/4 the length of the 1st ribbon (make 2 of it) 

(4th) 3/4 of the 2nd ribbon.

(5th) 1/2 of the 4th ribbon

 then,put the 1st ribbon vertically in the centre of the t-shirt and

 then stick them together with fabric glue. then sew some of the

 buttons on the top of the ribbon and make it look like it's a shirt.

for the accessory ribbon, put the ribbon all together.

 and then stitch them together with the button
