D.I.Y Lace Bracelet and Choker Necklace…….

These lace Bracelets & Choker Necklaces are adorned with a vintage shoe buckles. They would be the sort of gift you would give to your friend and immediately ask to borrow! Aren’t they just lovely!!

Here’s what you’ll need:


 Pair of Scissors

 Lace hem facing, woven edge seam biding, black ribbon or silk

 A variety of vintage shoe buckles

 In my case all material used were vintage



How to put together:

 Cut desired Lace length for bracelet or Choker Necklace

 Fasten and secure lace ribbon on back of buckle by lifting up the latch then push down to secure lace.

 Make a bow tie then clamp shoe buckle from bottom of bow where ribbon hangs down.

 For the smaller buckle I Intertwined the black ribbon where you see fit so it comes out in same direction at each end.

Please note: Some brooches works better than others due to their unique designs, shapes and sizes. Also I did not use any glue in case I want to reuse the buckle for their original purpose and other future projects!

Wouldn’t these be perfect for wedding themes or simply gifts to the bride maids! Or better yet you’ll have a whole year to treasure hunt and make them for mother’s day!

Hope that you have enjoyed and will have fun with this DIY. Until next time!

Down to Earth Weekend............... Floral Romper and Combat Military boots, bow in my hair and almost sans makeup.

It has been an exhausting week and feeling this way means it is time to go for a long walk at the park. So here I am in a floral romper, military boots, barely sans makeup and hair so natural that I resemble Simba the main character of The Lion King movie. But I feel we all could use a carefree day don't you?! I loved every minute of it of that moment!

Vintage Seventeen & Glamour Fashion Magazines………

While browsing one my favorite vintage magazine seventeen, It was rather coincidental when I spotted a very similar collection of the pale yellow vintage Jonathan Logan dress that I had recently sold. I was thrilled to find the Seventeen magazine to reference and date the dress. Just wish I had found the magazine before I sold the dress.





Also, a few months back I won not one but three vintage Glamour magazines on e-bay dated 1972, 1969 and 1963.



I got them from this wonderful seller that did not hesitate to combine shipping! It was indeed a pleasant transaction and if you’re looking for vintage magazines for inspirations or you’re a collector you should definitely give Magazine Madness and More a try.



As I started flipping through those Glamour pages. I immediately thought I can’t keep it all to myself and that it would be an awesome idea to share some of those pages with you guys! So be on the look out for “Vintage Magazine Pages” Title posts!



Have a wonderful weekend and have fun!
