Haute Couture Fashion Week

Hi! The Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris takes place two times each year, showing us how to dress the most elegant and exclusive way possible. Yes, the gowns are beautiful, but much more interesting I think, is what happens on the streets. Bloggers, designers, etc. are taking the chance to make extravagant couture street worthy. How? I would call it downgrading the couture (even tough the expression doesn't appear very positive), by combining them with the normal day to day looks. Works for me, and also for when you want to go out on a party where it isn't really clear, is it casual or formal?

"Cake by the Ocean"

Hi! Have you seen the most beautiful paper bags in the world? Exactly, the &OtherStories bags! It pretty much hurts to throw them away so I decided to make a collage. This art is now called "Cake by the Ocean"...

What you will need:

• paper bag from &OtherStories perhaps
• glue
• white poster 

How to proceed:

1. Cut out the watercolor part.
2. Arrange the pieces as wanted.
3. Glue them (or tape) them together.
4. Use the white poster as an background. (Also you could maybe use plywood?)

P.S.: If you say I don't know what I am talking about, when it comes to the beauty of paper bags, comment down below with a link to that paper bag, AND if you tried plywood as an background why not show me how that looks?

Card Holder Makeover

Hi! You probably don't remember one of my first post, where I also made a card holder out of an old cassette. This time I am making a makeover, from an asian to a simple rose cover.

What you will need:

• A business card holder
• Spray paint (mine is from "edding")
• Tape

How to proceed:

1. Mask the card holder.
2. Spray it two times (it depends on how good your spry color is).
3. Let it dry.
4. Take the tape of and if necessary clear the edges. (As a tip for making sure that the color is dry, put the card holder into cold water for a minute.)
5. Finish it with some clear lack.
