D.I.Y. Crystal Hair Clip

       I have a thing for rocks, especially any mineral or polished stone. As a child when we vacationed in Florida, there was a souvenir shop we always frequented, and my parents would allot $20 per kid for trinkets. They had a case full of polished rocks & I would leave each time with a bag of $20 rocks.

As an adult I'm still attracted to them. I hate collecting things and not using them though. This gave me the idea to combine my love of stones and fashion and create some crystal hair clips.

The stones I used for this time actually aren't rocks at all, but a more affordable option of decorative glass rocks that can be found at any craft/home decor store. I feel they're a pretty close match to quartz though. 

This super simple d.i.y takes minutes to do and it looks especially great paired with minimalist fashions!

D.I.Y. Givenchy Nosering

       The nose rings from the S/S 12 Givenchy couture collection are now infamous. Every single magazine of note have had the rings grace their editorials. The nose rings create a certain mystique; marrying both tribal and punk influences, they make any look instantly strong and striking. We've been coveting these nose rings for a while, but the hefty price tag keeps it far out of reach for us. It took a little while, but we think we've fashioned an acceptable dupe to these sought after rings. You design how you want your rings to look, have fun crafting your own couture look!
