DIY | Scarf Denim Shirt

Being a DIY blogger, I too am a fan of really great DIY ideas. I stumbled upon this awesome tutorial by Gypsie Sister on Pinterest, and had to give it a go. This Free People top was her inspiration.  Check out her blog for the steps.




Outfit: Lanvin Sunnies, Topshop Jeans, Forever 21 Necklace (similar), Coach Bag, Theyskens Theory Heels

Materials:
Denim Shirt (here and here)
Scarf (here and here)

On a whole other note... I'm trying something new with my hair.  I have naturally wavy hair and have been constantly disappointed with products that cannot manage my birdsnest. Today, I tried Bumble & Bumble Texture... and I'm loving it.  It's definitely giving me that beachy undone look.

DIY | Wrapped Pom Pom Bracelet

I am a really simple girl when it comes to my style.  My classic "Aimee" uniform consists of a white t-shirt or button-up and cut-offs.  I can basically wear that combination everyday, but what makes it feel different from day to day are the accessories.  My goal is to DIY more of them myself... so when I'm looking down at my arm party, it feels a little more personal.  Here's a fun wrapped pom pom bracelet I recently made.  Full tutorial after the break...

DIY Style | Olivia Palermo (Floral Jumpsuit)

Ever since I saw this photo of Olivia Palermo, I could not get it out of my head. A jumpsuit can be so difficult to wear, but she looks absolutely effortless.  The whole ensemble really is street-style at its best.   

You can DIY this look here: 
- Military Jacket (Anthropologie)
- Jumpsuit (Hilfiger or ASOS)
- Pump (JustFab)
- Belt (Madewell or Threadsence)
