The List: Best Denim Looks

If you’re the regular t-shirt-and-skinny-jeans kind of girl, then you better learn a thing or two from this style roundup. While denim is everyone’s tried-and-true wardrobe staple, it certainly doesn’t mean that it can’t be anything more than basic. From Nadine Lustre’s patchwork skirt, to Sofia Andres’ ’70s flares, to Lovi Poe’s ripped up pair, who says you can’t have some on-trend fun with your trusty jeans?

DIY Bag: Alexander Wang The Kirsten Tote

I know this may come as ‘last season’ (this bag was coveted in the 2011 spring) but I was thinking of adapting it for a DIY bag project.

What if I took any of the tote bags I’ve stacked in the dark depths of my wardrobe’s ‘forgotten’ aisle and attached some skinny belts to it? I could even try some multicolored, multitextured ones. Wouldn’t it be fun?

Actually, here’s a simple diy demonstration I put together to illustrate how you can obtain an equally gorgeous strapped suede tote bag as Alexander Wang’s Kirsten Tote for just a fraction of the price!

…which was around $1,000, biensur!

I love Wang and the spawning of his fashion talent, but each and every DIY project I manage to craft in the likeness of great designs makes my heart sing. It is, by no means, an offending gesture but a huge thank you for inspiration and a special homage to the original creations I could most certainly never afford.

Long story short: in order to make the Alexander Wang Kirsten tote lookalike you’ll need:
{1} a suede tote from Zara ($160)
{2} 6 or more skinny belts (I found some on Amazon for $6.75 each, so $40.5 for 6, you can buy themhere)
{3} glue gun, scissors

10 Style Lessons We Learned From Beyoncé

 

When it comes to fashion, Queen Bey is the real deal. Just like singing and dancing, no matter what she puts on, she always manages to look flawless.  From awards shows to music videos, her bold, fierce, and dramatic performances are always at par with her fashion. Her off-duty looks are no different either. Her confidence, understanding of her body, and adventurous sense of style keeps her ahead of everyone in the sartorial department. So since Beyoncé is turning 34 tomorrow, what better way to praise the queen than to follow her footsteps? Follow these tips if you have any plans to dominate and run the (fashion) world.

1. Corporate wear doesn’t have to be boring.

2. Don’t be afraid to mix prints with prints, and more prints.

3. When in doubt, color block.
