I love the look of an infinity scarf. It can instantly turn a dull outfit hip and fun. This infinity scarf is actually made from five vintage scarves I already had.
If you don't have vintage scarves lying around, just visit your local second hand store and have some fun! If you are just too impatient to start a collection and need to have this scarf right away (which I totally understand,) you can just buy light chiffon or silk fabric.
Supplies
5 scarves or fabric...continue reading

I'm a bit obsessed with fringe lately, and I'm putting it on everything! (See my last post ;)

Fringe! We used 4" Chainette Rayon Fringe in White, Sky blue and Gray from Dove Original Trim. (I'm linking you because the gray was a bit hard to find. You're welcome...continue reading
