I’ve been dreaming about getting a Hermès bag for a hot min already, I’ll get one someday…hopefully! In the meantime, Hermès has given us all a chance to download a Kelly bag - well a paper one haha. There are eight styles to choose from, seven of which has designs on it already and one is blank for all the crafty people out there. If you’re a super DIY person, you can even craft up a Kelly bag out of fabric, time to call up B’s mom! Fabulous!

Louis Vuitton vs. DIY Feather Bracelet
Photograpy & Written by: Kerin Rose
I love crazy, outlandish, costume couture, but I also love having enough money to eat, and you know, pay my rent. So for this DIY, my young, fabulous, and broke compatriots, I’m showing you how to DIY Louis Vuitton (say what?!). I saw this stellar LV feather bracelet in a number of fashion editorials and it made my inner glamazon cry. Then I realized it would set me back over two grand, and I cried even harder. Until I realized: Hey, I can Do It Myself. So I did – and now you can to!

Like most modern women I have a love/hate relationship with American Apparel. Especially their assistance of bringing futurism to the hands of the frugal with line of lamé. However, I’m a lady who’s stacked in the front and the back, so wearing a spandex lame’ tube dress is a risqué risk. Not that I haven’t done so on more than one occasion…As I’ve become increasingly infatuated with anything with shine I’ve become subsequently pissed that the Mr. Charney hasn’t expanded the lamé line. So I’ve taken it into my own hands with an American Apparel DIY dress.
Because most American Apparel garments are made of stretch fabric, and each piece is made of two or three pattern pieces, even the least skilled seamstress can customize with ease. Note: I picked the two toned dress because I prefer the fit. Pick whatever dress is best for your figure! I was lucky enough to find every color in the AA Lamé line at my fave fabric store: Spandex House, on 38th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues – or online at www.spandexhouse.com, and I went with 2 yards of blue for a wallet friendly sixteen dollars. Shiny!
