Diy // Colorful Spoons

Image
Here at home cutlery are always disappearing without a trace, so now and then I have to buy a few new, was the case of these teaspoons. To give them a less boring look, decided to give them a few strokes with nail polish. Liked the result, think I'll extend the experience to the rest of the cutlery! Aqui por casa os talheres estão sempre a desaparecer sem deixar rasto, então volta e meia tenho de comprar uns quantos novos, como foi o caso destas colheres de sobremesa. Para lhes dar um ar menos aborrecido, decidi dar-lhes umas pinceladas com verniz de unhas nas extremidades. Gostei do resultado, acho que vou estender a experiência ao resto dos talheres!

OUTFITS 1 - Jestem Kasia | 2 - Native Fox | 3 - Delightfully Tacky | 4 - Steffys Pros and Cons 1 - Match several items in a way they all look great together isn't always a easy task. This girl nailed it! 2 - Black and white always works.

Valentine's Day Ideas

Image
This year I won't celebrate Valentine's Day, but that doesn't prevent me from sharing with you really cute and easy to make ideas I found. I think it makes all the sense offer something made by us, with meaning, instead of buying mainstream items that will increase the consumerism around this date.  Pop-up photo box - This idea is so lovely I might use it in mother's day! Message in a bottle - In case you prefer words, this is a great way to deliver a special message. Coupons - A highly personalized gift. A coupon for a massage, for a breakfast in bed... Photo cube - Are you an Instagram addict? If the answer is yes, why not print your favorite pictures and display them in a cube? An original alternative to the traditional frames.  Box of chocolates - A yummy gift that you can enjoy too. Who doesn't like homemade chocolate? Heart-shaped tea bags - If you both are tea lovers, this is a lovely detail. Hidden heart cake - To open a cake and se...

Jewelry Stands

Image
from ModCloth Combining aesthetics with function is always a good idea. Every woman knows that keeping all the earrings, necklaces, rings organized it isn't a easy task at all. These jewelry stands, besides being practical, are also a great decorative item. Currently, all my jewelry is displayed in a cork board, but this is a temporary solution. I've been researching DIY alternatives and I leave you with the most creative ones I found, in case anyone wants to give it a try. Aliar a estética à função é sempre uma boa ideia. Toda a mulher sabe que guardar todos os brincos, colares, anéis é sempre um problema, manter estes objectos organizados não é fácil.  Estes suportes para jóias, além de práticos, dão uma excelente peça decorativa em qualquer quarto.  Eu, de momento, tenho a bijuteria que mais utilizo disposta num quadro de cortiça, mas é uma solução provisória. Andei a pesquisar alternativas DIY e deixo aqui os mais originais que encontrei, caso alguém se ...

Halloween Ideas for DIYs

Image
See the tutorials here:  Spider sunglasses | Bat headband  |  Bat bow tie  |  Spider loafers Don't know about you, but I love Halloween. In fact, I support any excuse to wear clothes and accessories that normally wouldn't. When this date approaches, I spend many many hours on the internet, finding inspiration. These four images caught my attention: small DIYs easy to do, I think they're creative and appealing. With a mere accessory, we can get into the spirit, without the need to spend money on costumes. Now I want to know: Do you celebrate Halloween? Não sei quanto a vocês, mas eu adoro o Halloween. Aliás, eu apoio qualquer pretexto para usar roupas e acessórios que normalmente não usaria. Festas temáticas, Halloween, Carnaval... Todas dão azo a muitas horas perdida na internet para encontrar inspiração. Aliás, tenho pena que em Portugal não se dê muita importância ao Halloween, lentamente começam a surgir festas nesta noite, mas não há a t...

Diy // Hair clip with pearls

Image
A simple hair clip, half cut pearls, a little bit of glue and voilá. I have a new pearl accessory. This one comes in handy to wear with my dresses. Um travessão simples, meias pérolas, um pouquinho de cola e voilá . Mais um acessório de pérolas para mim. Este vai dar muito jeito para andar com os meus vestidinhos.

Diy // top & shorts

Image
What you're seeing here is basically the way I dress every time I go to the beach: shorts and a top. Had this top at home that I didn't use because it's was too large and long, so I decided to make this DIY I found  here . It was a tedious process because I had to cut several thin strips of fabric and I hate cutting fabric. But in the end, liked the result. It shows skin, but not too much. It didn't become as tight as it was supposed to be because the top was too large still, but I prefer it this way, because the strips are not stretched and the overall effect is better. If you want to give it a try, the tutorial is very explicit. Attention: The total number of  strips you cut out,  must be even. O que estão a ver é basicamente a forma como me visto cada vez que vou para a praia: uns calções curtos e um top.  Tinha este top lá em casa que não usava por ser demasiado largo e comprido, por isso decidi fazer esta DIY que vi aqui . Foi um process...
