DIY Style-Timepiece Chic by Making a Necklace Out of a Watch

catthegirlguru — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 14:47:32 +0000

I was on a DIY FRENZY today! This is what is great about being really limited with your fashion budget-the chance, nay, the NECESSITY, the URGE, to get creative with what you already have! And I am one girl who has a whole helluva lot! Today I decided be fashionably inventive and turn an old watch into a pendant necklace. I just found some thin ribbon, threaded it through and tied a bow in the back. Voila!

Tell me what do you think! Or leave a comment about your own stylish innovation!

Style Guide: Scissors + Jeans = Model Hot Fashion Trend

Get out those scissors and get your fashion deconstruction on! You really do not need a giant wad of cash to pull this look off either-maybe just update your fashion wardrobe with a few pendants and bangles. And this look takes you seamlessly from the casual carefree days of summer to the sophisticated feel of Autumn when you pair up the shorts with cool black tights. You can easily put an elegant spin on this very understated look by wearing a more formal top-such as a beaded halter or sequined cami. Keep the colors pretty neutral for sophistication and definitely bring out the platform pumps and you’ll be catwalkin with style in no time!

signature style through charming accessories

I just purchased this gorgeous bracelet from a local boutique I have recently fell in love with. The artisan creates these uniquely charming items in a town called Shadow Valley (also the name of her company) not far from the boutique. I love supporting artists and designers that are right in my own community or home state and they usually create items that are one of a kind that can really give your style a signature look.

At present you can find her on Ebay where she sells jewelry componants. Hopefully soon though I will have convinced her to get a store set up on Etsy and she can share her wares with all the world!

What gorgeous accessories or items have you acquired from your local designers? I would LOVE to here about it (especially if they have a website or etsy profile-I love that place!). Comment below!
