Revenge of the Tigress

 Due to animal print’s eternal popularity among women and men alike, most fashion addicts realize that animal print is no longer a “trend,” as lace or bursts of floral have been in past seasons. Animal print has evolved into a fashion staple and a classic, which is now beginning to function as neutrals have.

“When you wear any animal-print piece, you’re telling the world — in a good way — that you’re a little wild,”

Shorts: Forever21(Pants altered into Shorts)

Feather Earrings: Tops and Totes 

Belt: SM Accessories

Pumps: Venus 

While leopard print has been ever increasing in popularity, New York Fashion Week has suddenly provided a fresh alternative and it's the Tiger Print!

As we all know, Animal prints are a fashion statement of its own. It can instantly make your outfit look fun and flirty.

Today's Look, this is actually a pants which I altered and transformed it into a shorts. I don't think I can carry the tiger print pants, I might be sent out to the jungle or zoo immediately (LOL!). Well, since it's summer and hot! making this pants into a shorts is even better. And that's what I love about sewing, when I want to change something about my outfit it's so easy for me. It’s always good to think of ways to reinvent/alter clothes you don’t like so you can wear them again. It's a matter of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, Right? :)

Anyway, I just wanted to wear this, and you do not really need special occasions to look good, right? I wanted to be glamourous even inside the house lang...and besides, it's our 10th Year Anniv. pala... Why not? hehehe :)

My DIY Projects: Tassel and Feather Earrings, Gold Fringe Necklace

Aside from sewing my own clothes, when I'm not doing anything I also make my own jewelries/accessories. I know that it takes a lot of patience to do this things, but when you see tutorials on how they make them, it's so easy. I love to watch DIY projects and when I get the idea on how to make these accessories, I make my own version of it. Lately, I've been seeing a lot of celebrities and fashion bloggers wearing tassel and feather earrings and fringe necklaces. And I just thought, I can make that too. So, I rushed into the craft store and quickly bought my materials. 

This is my version of the Tassel and Feather Earrings and Fringe Necklace Trend.

Project No.1

Tassel Earrings 

Materials: 1.Tassels 2.Pliers 3.Fish Hooks(earring ends) 4.Buttons(optional) 5.Crown ends

At work... I'm so serious (LOL!)

Tassel Earrings ~ These swingy accessories are elegant and fun and full of whimsy.

my black tassel earrings

Tassels are a fabulous, fun, whimsical trend that give a subtle retro '70s feel. It's a different kind of accent to shake up an outfit. If you're feeling bold and experimental, go with long tassel earrings or if you want to be more subtle, go with shorter lengths for the tassel of the earrings.

Project No.2

Feather Earrings

Feather earrings are not just for Hippies anymore. It’s not that feathers were never popular before, because they were, but now they’re brighter, bigger, and more decorative than ever! 

This is what you’ll need: 

1. Feathers 2. Scissors 3. Wire cutters 4. Wire 5. Earring hooks

Making feather earrings is fun and easier than you think! 

 From the runway, red carpet and on the street 

the bird isn't the word but FEATHERS is.

The best thing about feathers is that they can really pull a look together and anyone can rock it! You can go bold with pieces that flow languidly down to the neck or wear them short. Either way creating a showstopping look that also accentuates your hairstyle. 

these delicate nature inspired feathery wisps add a certain  chic, classic and feminine touch complementing any style.

Project No.3

Fringe Chain Necklace

Chain fringe is slightly rock n' roll, slightly ethereal and completely cool.

It's also another hot trend and definitely giving off some of that 80's vibe, but more up to date.

Materials: 1.Wide Metal Cable or Loop Chains 2.Pliers 3.Lobster Claw Clasp and "O" ring for closure

How to do it: Measure chain on your neck. Cut it to your desired width. Cut another small chains on the length that you want and attached it to the other chain for you neck. Make an allowance for about 3 loops for the smaller chains. When you're done with your fringe, attached the clasp to the chain with an "O" ring. And that's it! Your necklace is complete.

Here's my Finished Product!

The fringe trend can also be swung around your neck. Fringe necklaces are made out of everything from leather to jersey to linked chains.

This is my version of a Fringe Chain Necklace.

So, there you have it! I Hope you like my Do-It-Myself Accessories Projects. I'm really having fun when I do these things. Maybe because my passion is there. It's really All for the love of Fashion. And lastly, just don't forget that... No matter how you wear these trends, just have fun and enjoy... It's how you carry them anyway! Until next time :)

ORANGE you like it?

The color that jumps out at the head of the line for summer when it comes to neon shades, is Orange! Let's face it there is no other color that can make a loud fashion statement as bright Orange.

Orange is a great hit of Spring/ Summer 2012 season. It comes everywhere and on everything – dresses, shoes, bags, belts, sunglasses… If orange is one of your favorite colors you can really take advantage of it and enjoy it at the same time.

What I love about Orange, aside from being this years lucky color is vivacious and an appealing refresher to enliven anyone's look. Providing a jolt of energy, radiates warmth and cheer. 

Dress: Trafaluc ZARA 

Earrings: Accessorize 
Necklace: Chanel 

Bangles: Amanda's Closet 

Belt: Forever21 
Shoes: BLACK

Today's looks, I'm wearing a crop top Orange dress. I love how it's color pop out and really brighten up my look. I just added some accessories and finished it off with my black gladiator shoes.

I hope that "ORANGE" you like my look. Until next time, Ta ta!
