The latest Chanel ad: Embellishing the arm and pockets of a jacket with pearl beads, chains, ribbons.
- Swap chains for laces on your heels. (Topshop heels)
- Embellish shoulderpads, sew onto black tshirt – I’d personally use fabric to cover the shoulder pads just so it doesn’t look like my jacket pooped shoulderpads right on my tshirt.
- (Pair patterend leggings with patterend tights.)

Great post. I love your DIY posts. I’m a cheap bastard like you, so I’m all about DIY.
Looking forward to seeing your take on the projects.
I esp. loved the last idea, will try it soon. Great post.
Great inspiration. And oh my – how I adore the shoes in the last picture.
Also interesting is the Junya Watanabe sweater Michelle Obama is wearing in the G20 article. Gave me ideas of cutting up old sweaters.
I just read through a few entries back and I really love your blog. It is very inspiring and fun!!! Will be linking you!
shiniiiiiiii those are great possible DIYs!! So nice of you to scan for everyone. If it were me I’d probably be like “shieeeeet too lazy ok nvm they’ll probably eventually come across it themselves” har har har. I always have so many things i wanna make but get too lazy or can’t be bothered to search the lands for supplies -.-
I love the first and last one, I’ll definitely have to try them!
I love the last idea of lining chains on a basic sweater !
By the way, the asian model really has ugly toes… wearing heels all day long lead to ugly feet, it’s sad. :)
i love your DIY’s!
the last picture…what I really noticed was the shoes! i love them.
awesome editorial. i was just thinking i need me some patterned/textured tights.
Can’t wait to see how urs turn out~ Faboosh editorials!
Wow. Great idea Shini.
Can’t wait to see your DIY.
I might want to try the shoulder pads too.
