Fashion for everyone

blame it on the recession, hand it to all the cool girls crafting across the internets, give it to the green movement, but there's no denying the do-it-yourself ethos has gone viral!

some late favorite links ~

glamourai reader madeline created her own version of my DIY candied crumbcatcher, itself an awestruck imitation of the gorgeous marni breastplates. i love that this project is so personal ~ it's all about integrating and celebrating your personal favorite trinkets:

louis vuitton's runway was another favorite, for its delightful deluge of ditzy DIY ideas, one of the simplest suggestions being the groovy, pre-school-style, paper chain collars. ever on point, elle.com has launched a video tutorial for recreating the look here.

i'm thrilled that the freshest fashion DIY's are all about decorating, rather than destructing (enough with ripped tights already, no?!).

april showers bring craft hours!
