I have been in love with the velvet trend lately! Velvet clothing, velvet shoes, velvet blankets, you name it! So I decided I wanted to create this simple, velvet pillow cover to fill my velvet needs!

Now here's the NYE outfit you should have seen, but God knew. He knew that I needed to expand my creativity by not only creating one #DIY fringe look, but two! Because fringe is in.
I think I have a problem with simplicity, with taking the easier, less complicated route. Every NYE for the past two years has involved an outfit that was not easy to find! I figured I'd solve that issue by making my NYE outfit but boy was I wrong, or so I thought!Navy Blue, that's the color that I find most appropriate for NYE parties. It's not black (although black outfits are forever chic), but it's not super bright that it kills the night mood. It's a happy medium for me. So for the pat 3 years it's been my go to color. Let me start out by saying, I never thought that navy blue was a foreign, unusual color for the department stores to carry until now.I knew that I wanted to have an all navy outfit and before I even decided I wanted fringe on my pants I wanted to look for a simple yet festive navy blue top (don't forget, me and simple just don't mix). I could not find a top like that for the life of me. Navy blue glitter top, navy blue satin top, navy blue velvet top, NOTHING! I just wanted to be festive, that's it, but clearly that wasn't happening.So I decided to channel the festive part of my outfit into my pants, which of course led me to fringe. Now I'm sure most of you have seen the beautiful Rihanna inspired fringe pants that Nasty Gal and Missguided carry online. Of course, they stick to traditional colors that sell quickly like black and red, but I didn't want that, I wanted (let's all say it) NAVY! So I said to myself, hey why not make them. It seemed fairly easy as I only had to attach the fringe trim to the pants and I already had a beautiful pair of velvet navy blue pants to sew on.Now the next thing that happened to me was scarring, just dreadful! My top 5 favorite online shopping sites let me down...Amazon guys..amazon. Never, not even once has Amazon disappointed me. They've even gone as far as providing me a refund for a mistake that I later realized was my own. But this time, the ONE time that I needed them to come through with the 2 day shipping, they delivered the fringe to my house 4 days late, 2 days after NYE!In my misery, I tried to keep hope alive by purchasing white fringe and dyeing it navy blue, and although it didn't exactly take the color, it led to my next creation; fringe on denim pants!After it all I can truly say that I'm pretty thankful. I knocked out two creative #DIYs, challenged my inner optimist and get to show you all two fringe outfits that I'm particularly proud of!Let me know what you think of these two creations!

I have been in love with paint on clothing for quite some time. I had already previously done paint on my denim jacket, and thought why not create a customized leather jacket with paint and studs! This project was so exciting to see come to life. Between painting on the roses and hammering (yes, I used a hammer) the studs on, I can really say that I'm proud of my masterpiece. Maybe next time I'll do roses all over!

I have a habit of always wanting to change my phone cases but never wanting to invest in 20 of them. This simple DIY allowed me to create Fashion Inspired Phone Cases that I can switch up whenever I like! Wanna give it a try? Then keep reading!What I love about this DIY is you only need one clear case. There's endless possibilities of designs that you can switch out at any time! Ooh and not to mention I made 3 cases for $15! Enough talking though let's get down to business. (Link to video is below!)
You can use any design you like, but I wanted something unique. I used a web based site called Pixlr (similar to Photoshop). Within Pixlr I adjusted the measurements to mimic an Iphone 6s (750 x 1334). One your measurements are set you'll want to remove the background for each item and print them separately.
In terms of printing, adjust the paper size to 3 x 5, this will ensure that the design is printed in the appropriate size for and Iphone. I printed the wording and the grids onto the transparent labeling paper. For the background images, I printed them on white printer paper.
Measure the sheet protector to the Iphone and cut out the shape. Once the items are cut out lay them on the sheet protector and secure them with glue if needed. The items that are printed on the labels won't need any glue.
After the items are secured onto the sheet protector, you can insert the protector into the phone case. Snap it on your phone and it will secure itself!
The sheet protectors are perfect for this project because they're thin and fit nicely within your phone case. They also allow you to create several designs and switch them out whenever you like! If you'd like to see a tutorial on how to create these cases check out my latest upload on my Youtube Channel.Xoxo,
fabulously living for less.
Just another millennial trying to get my bank account to connect with the fabulous life I was destined to live! Come see all the bits of my life’s happiness through fashion, beauty, travel + more! xo, K
