DIY Inspiration: LMFAO "Sexy & I Know It" Music Video

I don't know whether this video was a good or bad thing for me to come across because it's pretty ridiculous.
But there's some pretty sweet DIY fashion going on :)

Before I get to the DIY inspirations, I just wanna point out that the girl in the slashed black tights on the right is wearing fake Jeffrey Campbell Alexa Wedges.

Fringe Top
scissors meet bottom of shirt. make sure you don't cut up too high though, don't want the girls fallin out the bottom/bra peaking out.

Hot Pink Studded/Bedazzled Cut Off Denim Jacket
full tutorial in next post!

Slashed Leggings/Shirt
put on leggings and shirt so you know where to slash (or more importantly where not to slash. close to butt, by boobs, etc), sissors meet fabric. don't cut yourself!

Studded Leather Jacket
order some bulk studs in w/e your favorite style is. go to town :)

DIY Inspiration: Rihanna "We Fell In Love" Music Video

After my friend Rachel showed me this video today, I was completely hooked. So many things in her video are freaking amazing & very much have a vintage DIY feel to them. I took a couple of screen shots (sorry for bad quality, thanks a lot youtube).

Denim Jacket - def acid or bleach washed. misfits and tshirt applique on the back.

----------

Denim Vest - american flag fabric sewn on. NEED ASAP

----------

Denim Jeans - americna flag fabric sewn on the front only. awesome!

----------

Oversized Safety Pin Earrings

----------

Holey/Deconstructed Tee - funny story...already working on a shredded shoulder tee at the moment like this!

-----------------

I'll post about any DIYs I do!

ps: a girl in my textiles class is going to make the misfits denim jacket. I'm going to make the denim vest :)

Outfit Inspiration // Leopard Print & Color Pop

I ALWAYS pair my leopard prints with pops of color. Especially on the week days. I have a leopard print top from F21 like intangibleee and I always wear one of my magenta lace tanks from express under it :)

I love the way she paired everything together & added the belt!
The tights really make this look WOW!

Outfit Inspiration // All Black & Different Textures

I have to try this. I own so much freaking freaking black. I'm always afraid to wear it all together but if you wear it this way it's done 100% fashionably.

Just mix up different fabric weights and textures and BOOM! You got yourself a killer look. :)

Flowy soft top paired with the rugged leather cardi is genius.
I especially love the shiny boots.

DIY Bling Bandana

Have a bunch of plain bandanas laying round that you're getting bored of? Bling/Stud them out :)

Fold the bandana in the way you'd usually wear it. Press it with an iron to keep that shape you want. Then add your "bling" :) Use some strong E6000 industrial strength glue to make sure all your hard work stays on!
