[DIY TUTORIAL] The 1 Minute Scarf Dress

Today, I'll show you how I used a silk floral scarf and turned it into a (faux) dress in 1 min...NO sewing, NO cutting needed!

This is what you'll need:

• A large scarf (mine was 33"x33" wide)

• A vest, cardigan, jacket...something that is longer than the scarf
• 4 safety pins (any size)

Step 1

Tie two ends of the scarf around your neck to make a halter. 

Step 2

Pin the sides of your scarf to the inside seam of your vest, cardigan or jacket. I used two pins on each side: one about 3" below the armhole and the other at the hem. Alternatively, you can make this permanent by sewing the scarf edge to the inside seam of your garment.

Tip: You'll probably want to wear a slip under in case the wind blows open your garment.

Voila! There you go, beautiful! Easy peasy, right? If you this try it out, please let me know, I'd love to see your outfit.

I love mixing boy style with a little girly glam. I don't usually buy clothes from the opposite sex when thrifting unless I'm shopping for my son so it was a bit hard to find something but I remembered I picked up this pair of suspenders for him. LOL...the plaid fleece hoodie is also his. As he gets older, he's going to have to stop me from raiding his closet for "boyfriend" style clothes.

A Glitter Of Hope

TPFF Restyle 2014 l Day 1: Glitter

Ok...so I'm not an Aussie but I'm participating in the Telstra Perth Fashion Festival's Restyle 2014 Challenge so I can try out my styling chops on my thrifted finds. I found out about this thru an invitation by Australian Instagrammer missjanetyang. I'm wondering if there are any other Canadian fashion bloggers joining this challenge?

 Today is the start of the challenge and Day 1's prompt is Glitter and so below is my outfit. I thrifted the gold glitter skirt at Value Village and those suede booties in New York.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up with posting everyday as already it's a lot of work trying to post a couple of times a week but I must admit that it was a lot of fun planning outfit ideas.

Doll Houses

I've been in a "we can make it" mood for a long time and I'm adding a DIY dollhouse to that list. I'd like to do this for my daughters for Christmas however I don't think I'll be able to get it done in time and I have fear that the littlest one may eat the tiny pieces of furniture. Also, I'm undecided about which kind of house to build...the victorian? the quirky bookcase house? the modern minimalist? or how about a miniature version of my modular dream house?

I may have to save this project for next Christmas. Anyways, I want to share some adorable dollhouses that I found on Pinterest:
