DIY Hearts and Stars inspired by the Citroën DS3 Fab.

What we love most in life is to adorn ourselves with the colors, prints and textures we love, clothing, home decor, gadgets and even cars! Dutch accessory label Fab. collaborated with Citroën for the perfect car, a Fashion car. The Citroën DS3 Fab. is embellished with hearts, stars, leather details and extra accessories like a perfume, a clutch, sunglasses, car keys and even flats to drive! I love the hearts and stars and got inspired and made these diy socks! To launch the DS3 Fab. Citroën and Fab organized a fun contest where you can win a Fabulous Roadtrip for you and 2 friends where you get the beautifully designed accessories too!

DIY Stitching change of color

A very simple white look today enhanced by the pearl embellishments on the sheer top and Gold embroidered cat loafers. Clearly the Cat loafers are a very cheap (€15) Charlotte Olympia knock off from New Yorker, the stitching was white and looked horribly cheap so I simply bought a gold marker and transformed the stitching to being a lush gold. I just happened to bump into the Cat loafers when I went to the New Yorker store for cheap light blue sneakers that I had seen  there but they were no longer there in my size so I decided to give the Kitty Cats a go! I often change the color of stitching in shoes and even clothing to transform something from looking hideous to looking fab!

DIY Floral Baseball Cap

My Latest DIY Project! After the diy Baroque Baseball cap I pimped up another inspired by the floral trend and floral crowns! 

OUTFIT: Cropped Tee

Cotton Candy colors today! The Bershka cropped top and turquoise cotton skirt make combined with the DIY Chanel Espadrilles (tutorial here) for almost the cheapest look (about €5 for the top and skirt each) wasn't it for the Gerard Darel Pyton Bag and Muubaa leather jacket..... By now you might have seen the Gerard Darel bags on more blogs and as you might know you can still win one 25h bag yourself! (I would not mind a second Gerard Darel bag myself at all!) I love the cropped tops but I still have some more shyness to overcome when it comes to the bare midrif, high waisted skirts it is ;)
