I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

The latest Chanel ad: Embellishing the arm and pockets of a jacket with pearl beads, chains, ribbons.

  • Swap chains for laces on your heels. (Topshop heels)
  • Embellish shoulderpads, sew onto black tshirt – I’d personally use fabric to cover the shoulder pads just so it doesn’t look like my jacket pooped shoulderpads right on my tshirt.
  • (Pair patterend leggings with patterend tights.)

    I’ve actually have done these DIY embellishments onto a pair of blazers! One interesting way to charge up a classic.
    This is great

    shiniiiiiiii those are great possible DIYs!! So nice of you to scan for everyone. If it were me I’d probably be like “shieeeeet too lazy ok nvm they’ll probably eventually come across it themselves” har har har. I always have so many things i wanna make but get too lazy or can’t be bothered to search the lands for supplies -.-

    I love the last idea of lining chains on a basic sweater !
    By the way, the asian model really has ugly toes… wearing heels all day long lead to ugly feet, it’s sad. :)
