When hanging your DIY shelves, it is important to anchor them properly. First, you'll need to locate your walls studs. A stud is a vertical member in the light frame construction of a building's wall. It is important to know where your wall studs are located when hanging heavy objects like shelves. They provide the strength needed for such DIY jobs.
You can go the old fashioned...
Last night was the 15th anniversary of Bust Magazine- that saucy mag for women who need a little more strange and different than is featured in Vogue and Marie Claire. Bust is the magazine “For women who need to get something off their chests.” They are shamelessly outright sexual, liberal, unapologetic, and feminist but still starried-eyed around celebrities. I love them for every...
Earlier this summer in Arlington, Virginia, opened one of the most moving affairs for crafters and sewers of this generation– The Thread as the Line. An exhibition showcasing 16 artists from regional to all over the world and their masterpieces, of not canvas or clay, but needle and thread. The artists have put sewing and embroidery into a whole new category that does not belong in closets or...
I love love love love love (should I say it again?) LOVE wearing vintage slips as dresses during the dog days of Summer; they're light and airy and as long as they're not scandalously see-through I'm content to rock them sans layering (with full coverage undergarments, of course). This is a trend that's so easy to take into Fall, and here's some photo-inspiration to get the lingerie-inspired...

I always get really into the Olympics and so far this year has not disappointed. Did anyone see Jason Lezak win the 400 meter relay against France? Wow, but anyway I also really love Beijing's mascots. Known as the Fuwa, or the Friendlies, these five little guys, color coordinated to match the olympic rings, are by far the best Olympic mascots I've ever seen. I'm from Atlanta and will never...
One of my sources of clothing inspiration is Lucky Magazine. Not only do they discuss the latest trends, but there's always a great celebrity fashion that graces the cover. This month's look: Milla Jovovich modeling fall's biggest fad, the vest. These garments easy to sew, plus they whip up quickly and are easy to find in almost any pattern book. To try your hand at making your own...
It's approaching the end of summertime, and if you have kids you might be trying to come up with more projects to entertain them with; or if you have young cousins/nieces/nephews/etc maybe their parents would love you to spend an afternoon crafting with them, yeah? I love making freezer paper stencils, but they require the use of an exacto knife, so when I was asked to do the project with...
