as promised, ive made a holiday gift guide to give you guys a few ideas for holiday shopping. i chose a few basic categories that i think most of my friends would fall into. the genderless gifts are especially great for office gift exchanges where you dont know who your gift is going to. i think they call that white rhino? odd name, but its sort of a US tradition.

after the proenza schouler ss 2013 show, they were giving out these adorable cat hats to the show attendees. i pretty much fell in love with them the moment i laid eyes on them via man repeller's instagram. and again after seeing it styled on miroslava duma. it then became inspiration for my latest DIY project. i got the cat patches here (they seriously have the cutest assorted animal patches ever!) and the caps here.
quick tip: i recommend sewing on the patch in one or two spots before ironing, then removing the stitches after the patch is ironed on. this will keep the patch from moving around while you are ironing it.
VOILA! diy cat hat in under 5 minutes.

quick post before i have to run. just wanted to show you guys the final product of my denim jacket diy. it seriously took forever to do (sewing the neon plastic panels was such a nightmare), but im really happy with the results. im probably going to add more patches as i find them. for now, this is a good start.

(h&m sheer tunic, sparkle and fade cobalt trousers, diy neon plastic harness, diy neon plastic clutch/ipad case, prada lucite heels)
remember when i said ive been obsessing with cobalt pieces? well, these trousers are my newest purchase. the color is the perfect shade of blue ive been hunting for. the neon harness and clutch is part of a womenswear collection my friend and i are working on. the collection is still in its infant stage, meaning most of the pieces are still on paper (and in our minds), but so far i like the direction we are going. these pieces are just sample pieces i made to test out, im def going to alter them and complete them with closures. id love to hear your thoughts and opinions.

the bf and i celebrated valentines day a day early, so last night i made my first pizza ever. i use the term 'made' very loosely... meaning, pillsbury pizza crust dough out of the can, tomato sauce out of the can, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni. they say the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach right?
Here's some mid week inspo for you guys! I'm starting to see a resurgence in pierced embellishments and I'm so loving this punk inspired look! Weather it's on tees, dresses, bags or even shoes, this trend looks super fresh and edgy! It would also be an easy and fun DIY. Just grab some of your existing pieces, buy a pack of piercings, and embellish your heart away!
