Maxene Magalona’s Top 5 Bags

 

If you follow Maxene Magalona on Instagram, then you know that a chic hand-carry is a must-have in all of her #OOTDs. Her bag collection is nothing short of lust-worthy and always gives her outfits that final magic touch.

From a Balenciaga classic to a Moschino statement piece, we ask the bagaholic to list 5 of her trusty totes and how each of them completes her looks. Check out her picks below:

1. Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM

“I love how I can just throw everything I need into this bag and it won’t ever feel too heavy. I’ve had it for so many years now, and its quality is still very good. I even bring it with me to the beach! It’s totes amazing!”

2. Moschino McDonald’s Handbag

“I love this bag because it’s as quirky and colorful as my personality. Plus, it’s the perfect pop of color whenever I wear black and white outfits.”

3. Balenciaga Velo

“This is my only black bag and I just got it last year after realizing that all my bags were brightly colored. I love it because it’s perfect for travelling! I love using bags that I can easily sling over my shoulder when I’m on vacation. It makes it easier for me to go around!”

4. Givenchy Pandora

“This is another favorite of mine because I love how classy its color looks with my outfits. And because its color is neutral, I won’t ever have a hard time pairing it with my clothes. It was a gift from my boyfriend so I consider it very special.”

5. Balenciaga First

“This one is my absolute favorite just because it was my dad’s last Christmas gift to me. Every time I use it, I remember how much he loved sharing his blessings with his loved ones. I miss him everyday.”

10 Ways To Rock The Androgynous Look

 

As fashion is ever evolving, androgynous dressing becomes a more widespread craze. From boyfriend jeans to oversized button-downs, stylish girls from around the world are ditching their floral dresses and ballerina skirts for the gender-neutral look. While tailored suits and brogues have always been known to be part of the menswear department, the ladies prove that they can rock these staples just as well as the men can. Embrace the trend and take your outfit up a notch with a few of these tricks and tips.

1. Overalls are versatile. You can pair them with a crop top or pullover.

 

2. Look sleek and sharp with a perfectly tailored suit and a pair of pumps.

  

3. It’s all in the details. Ruffles, bows, and lace add a feminine touch to your look.

4. Look preppy and cool by matching a sweater with a collared shirt.

5. Make a statement with a bold-colored suit.

6. Camo pants can look either sophisticated or edgy. Rock it with a leather jacket like Cara Delevingne or with classy add-ons like Olivia Palermo.

7. Brogues or loafers compliment any androgynous look.

8. A tank top paired with boyfriend jeans and a blazer make an effortlessly chic combo.

9. Don’t be afraid to be a little more daring. Suits work with prints and textured fabrics as well.

10. Work a pair of wide-legged trousers as well as Katharine Hepburn with a button down polo.

DIY EMBROIDERY THREAD WRAPPED EARRINGS

Thursday, March 14, 2013 / Ez

This is a special guest post was created by Anne Weil of Flax & Twine. Find more handmade lovelies, simple design and beautiful inspiration on her inspiring blog.

Hi everyone!  I’m so happy and honored to be a guest poster on Creature Comforts today. I’ve been following along with excitement as Ez has shared her big move with us. Having just moved across the country myself, I am empathetic to the anxiety and discombobulation that comes along with the thrill of a moving adventure. To pack up all your stuff and leave your known environment, only to arrive in a place that needs a lot of settling can overwhelm anyone! Ez has handled this transition seamlessly and gracefully on the blog. She makes it all look so easy. Nonetheless, I am hoping this post eases her blog burden ever so slightly in the transition. I adore this fun jewelry tutorial. I hope you do, too!

I originally made a neon green version of these hoops for an 80′s Halloween party­–perfect under the black lights. When I went to pick colors for this tutorial, however, I pulled this more gentle color palette with a punch of black. I think it’s so lovely. These hoops are simple to make, yet such a fun splash of hand made in your wardrobe. Add the ability to customize every pair and you might just not be able to stop making them. I adore these little black and white ones.

These hoops make for a fabulous last minute, personalized gifts, too!  Here’s the tutorial:

Supplies needed:

• Embroidery thread (I suggest DMC 6-strand floss for a smooth finish)
• Inexpensive hoop earrings (I found these at Target)
• Craft glue
• Scissors

Cut 40” of chosen embroidery thread colors for a large hoop, less for smaller hoops. If you place the hoops in your ear before you start, it will help you decide where to change colors and place the majority of your design color work (remove hoop from ear before next step).

Start by placing a small bit of craft glue at the end of the hoop.

Take desired embroidery thread colors and line them up parallel to the hoop, placing the end of the thread in the bit of glue. Choose the thread color you want to start with and begin wrapping it around the hoop…the other colors you aren’t using they go along for the ride (make sure they are being hidden by the thread color that you want to have showing). Keep wrapped thread snugly side-by-side so you can’t see the hoop or other colors underneath.

When you want to change colors, drop the first color parallel to the hoop and start wrapping with the next color you’d like. Repeat to change colors again. Change as many times as you’d like.

When you get to the end, place another small bit of glue. Wrap thread directly over that glue, using your finger to wipe away any excess. Trim the embroidery thread colors that you are not using first as close to the hoop as possible. Then place a little extra glue to secure the remaining thread over the ends of the other colors, and trim excess. Repeat the finishing process on the other side of the wrapped hoop. Repeat full process for your other earring. Voila!

To create the striped earrings, simply wrap the embroidery threads together at the same time, as if they were one. Keep them in the same alignment as you wrap, and finish with the same process as used above.

So fast, easy and fun! Happy Hooping!

How To Wear Color of The Year

Move over, Radiant Orchid! Pantone just crowned Marsala the color of the year for 2015.

“Sensual and appealing, Marsala is a compelling and cordial tone that nurtures; exuding confidence and stability while feeding the body, mind and soul,” the color experts at Pantone said in their announcement.

So, what does all of this mean for you? Heavy pours of this mauve, red wine-like color are about to flow into your closet, makeup bag, and home.

The color is warm, and “the burnished undertones keep it down-to-earth,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. Pair it with a neutral (think navy or black) or try a complementary color, such as mustard. Another way to indulge: Swipe it on your lips. “This color flatters the mouth’s natural pigments, so it works for everyone,” says beauty guru Bobbi Brown.

Not sure the hue is for you? “The best way to get accustomed to a color is to use it in a print with other colors you really really love,” Eiseman says. “So if you’re just trying to introduce it to yourself, do it with small accents that are less expensive.”

And there’s no need to wait until 2015 to give it a try. Check out the above Valentino sunglasses ($326, marchon.com ) and Magaschoni sweater ($167, magaschoni.com ), and scroll down for a few more of our top Marsala-hued picks that are available now.
