Fringe-tastic DIY ideas

 In the last few years fringes never got really out of fashion. They became like studs or leather. You don't identify fringes in a specific fashion niche anymore like you don't visualize studs like "punk" or leather like "aggressive". Fringes became an endemic decorative element and the reason why it happened is maybe because fringes make a look more interesting, more alive, it has its own swing and yes, it's a little edgy. How much? You decide. It depends by the amount of fringes and where you place them. Do you see the black jumper above? It's the perfect answer to the question: how do I transform a boring black sweater into something cool? For a more casual effect use shorter fringes and bring up the v shape. Place fringes on the sleeves of a garment for an aggressive look and you'll swing at every move.  If you're too shy to wear clothes decorated with fringes focus on fringed accessories like a bag or a scarf or even a necklace. You can make your own leather fringes in matter of seconds and you can find a great variety of fringed trims at the haberdashery. Why not make fringes with metal chains? Get inspired then check out some of my diy with fringes like the leather fringe skirt, the mega fringe necklace made with 6 meters of chain and the convertible fringe boots, the Burberry inspired fringe earrings or the statement fringe hair earrings.

Victoria Secrets beach cover up

How can we be fashionable on the beach? Wearing this pratical beach cover up by Victoria Secrets for example. It  looks just like a pretty dress.  Looking twice it also looks like an easy DIY. It's just a rectangular piece of stretch fabric with two straps attached. There is already a tutorial on how to make it on the net made by La vie en rose and found by true blue me&you.

Come essere chic anche sulla spiaggia? Indossando questo pratico copri costume di Victoria Secrets per esempio. Si trasforma in pochi gesti in un abito e guardandolo sembra anche molto facile da realizzare: basteranno un rettangolo di stoffa stretch e due bretelline. Potrete trovare altre spiegazioni su come realizzarlo su La vie en rose.

DIY idea: message mask

outside Mulberry show via Street Peepers

A giant and funny eyemask for those who like to draw attention. It can be done cutting the shape out of a plastic sheet. Once it's ready you can attach an elastic to it or glue it over a pair of sunglasses.

Per chi non ha paura di osare ecco una mascherina che riporta un messaggio. Per realizzare questo accessorio sopra le righe vi basterà ritagliare una forma da una copertina in plastica. A questo punto potrete legarci un elastico o incollarla su un paio di occhiali.

DIY idea: paint your brogues



Vans trainer shoes

These shoes are trainers dressed like brougues. These are sold by Vans but hey wouldn't be cool to transform our trainers into brogues using a sharpie?

Le scarpe di Vans sono delle trainer travestite da brogues. Perchè non trasformare anche le nostre tennis in scarpe british utilizzando un pennarello permanente (o per la stoffa)?
