Look what we have recently done with Michelle at Fripe Fabrique! Bead Embellished Jeans DIY is our new collaborative project. We took a pair of vintage mom’s jeans and made them delightfully elegant. “Comfy turned elegant” would be the best wording to describe the result.

We loved the idea of mixing vintage pieces from the 60s and 70s with edgy modern pieces like geometric jewellery, suede booties, and […]
The last DIY I did in collaboration with Fripe Fabrique was about how to make a wardrobe basics: a crop shirt. We took a vintage blouse and did a bit of chop-chop and a bit of sewing. I cannot say this is a beginner project (you need to know how to sew and have an access to a […]

Wondering how to wear vintage 1970s dresses in modern fashion style? This post is for you!
