From necklace to earrings

One of the colours for Fall 2013 is red. Dolce & Gabbana has some really stunning dresses and coats in red.

Preparing for New season I have found a piece of jewellery which I havn't been using, altough I've always loved the big red stones in this neclace.

 
I decided that I want to make a pair of earrings, and since I can't wear earrings for pierced ears anymore, I have bought these helpful earclips, which you can clip on earrings for pierced ears. On the little hooks in the front you can attach earrings for pierced ears.

I bought them in an accessorie-shop Glitter in Norway.
 

After pulling the stones apart from the necklace, I attached two of the stones on the little hooks in the front of the earclip. The result is a pair of big red danglers...and I can change the stones to the other pair which is framed in a way that gives it a  more vintage look.

New season - Fall 2013

Are you ready for the new season? Fall 2013 looks great, with a lot of fab things coming in the shops. Of course the fashion shows from Paris, Milan, London and New York was shown in February and March so I have already made some of this seasons wonderful hats. I am currently working on other ones.

 

In www.style.com you can find Chanels RTW Fall 2013 Collection.


I am really excited as always when it comes to New Seasons. The colours for this season is a lot of blue. Blue in all different shades from dark navy blue, until light blue, electric blue (and we are still wearing the cobolt blue) and so on. It looks like red is coming in also, I hope we now can wear it not just for Christmas and 17. May.
There is still a lot of black and white, and there is a darker burgundy than we saw last winter. Now it is closer brown than red.
I hope you enjoy preparing for new season. I always go through my old stuff (clothes, shoes, belts jewellery)  to check if I have something I can use, even if it means big/small changes, redesigning and so on. I will keep you posted.



A new DIY hat?


I really love these hats from Balenciaga Resort 2014. Is it a DIY hat? I must try to make this sometime.  I will keep you posted.

Summer sales

Before I go mad at the summer sales, I try to prepare myself by deciding what look or style I want to buy. Sharing with you some of my inspirations before I hit the shops...

The pictures are from  www.style.com.  Spring 2013 rtw. The outfits are from Christopher Kane, Chanel and Saint Laurent.

If you have a lot of money you can buy some of these outfits on net-a-porter.com, where they also have summer sales. I'll just have to stick to the high-street in Glasgow (I don't mind at all actually - the shops are great)

Girls waistcoat

I have crocheted this for one of my nieces. We both loved the colour of the thread when I started crocheting. But when I was finished and she tried it on it did not look nice at all. So I edged it with fabric from an old scarf.

Owls and other birds

Everybody love the cute little owls, and you find them anywere thesedays; on clothes like jumpers, dresses, in neclaces, earrings, in different kinds of fabrics, buttons and so on. I have made a few myself....

 

 








The pattern for the granny-square owl I found on a great blog called: repeatcrafterme.com
