miu miu .. and diy intro.

The shoes have it... I'm loving miu miu's clever prints on what looks like silk blends - so adonrnigly loveley!. I dont think I would ever pull something like that off although ....atleast the shoes i could definatelty see my self parading around in.. mm.. fat chance. I always seem to pay extra attention to designers who use models for their campaigns that look like porcelain dolls. e.g: gemma ward in her hey days. I want her back. Funnily enough, miu miu's previous campaigns featured 2 of my favourite muse's - Kirsten Dunst and Camilla Belle.. i love belle's bushy brows. Too bad my asian heritage makes my brows awfully sparce - but thats another story. haha. Lucky I came across a red vintage pair of platforms whcih are actually the same shape and cut as the black miu miu platforms pictured above. But their red in colour, and I dont see red miu miu platforms. So .. drumroll please.. i intend to "d.i.y" them so they look a little more "miu". I'll put a picture above of that they look like... do u think they look similar? i'll post the diy when I do it for all to see.

i made this for you....

somethings i have made in the past month. I love d.i.y's... especially surfing the net and seeing things I love, but dont want to hand over the cash for - so then recreate it with what I've got lying around. Even better when ppl compliment you on it!..

cross necklace: I saw a girl on the street with a large metal cross necklace... i didnt have the balls to ask her where she got it from. and couldnt find it anywhere.
I cut a piece of thick cardboard in the shape of a cross, cut some leather cutoffs in the same shape and glued them on either side of the cardboard cut out. I then made a hole on the top to thread the string through annd put and eyeleton either side to make it look neat. lastly, u could still see the cardboard in the middle, inbetween the leather pieces, so i got some thin ribbon and glued it around the rims of the cut out. finish.


backless bow scoop dress: the steps on how to make this was on my previous post. eeezy peezy.

arm chain bracelet: I saw a pic on outsapop (www.outsapop.com) of something similar - and straight away took some chains and linked them all together.

studded shorts: ummm.. need I say more? but what i might add - i studded these babies along the the sides of the zipper - and my bf commented that it looks like i'm directing people to my "love nest". hahaha.

chain rimmed bustier: cant remember what inspired me to do this... but it makes a plain bustier so much more edgy.. the steps are on a previous post aswell.

xxx shhhh

diy quickie : make them bow

3) Start at the bottom and work you way up til your happy with the amount of ribbons.
Cheap as chips to make and you can put the bows where ever you like and sew them on. Finito.





2) I used velvet ribbon cos I liek the texture, cut some of the ribbon long enough to fit the width of the open back. and then squeeze the centre of ribbon and sew together so it looks like a bow. You can then sew the ribbon to both side of the open back.




1) i got this backless dress from cotton on - 2 for $30 - cheap as chips, you'll also need scissors, pins and you can either sew by hand or use a machine.

the back wasnt deep/ plunging enough for the amount of bows I had in mind so I just cut it a bit lower and sewed it abck up.

have you got a light for my friend?

me and my loveley gf CC went out of friday night - it was a last minute thing.. we decided to have a walk through the city before we hit the bars like we used to. ME and CC have been pals for almost 10 years!! we have the occasional debate on who asked who on the first date - (definately her).. anywho - cc and I are going to Milan and LOndon together in June for summer school.. so we're trying to save - I emphasise the "trying".

wearing: deconstructed lace dress ( it had a grey underdress before and a covered back), nude under skirt (peeping though), jeffrey campbells whip 2 leopard booties, skagen mens crystal watch and vintage chanel bag (i've had this bag for years ).

xxx heart u cc,
