JULY 03, 2017 It's been quite a while since the latest DIY! I'm quite sure you couldn't miss the straw baskets and bags trend that has been taking over these past weeks. Well, I must say they have everything to please, fun shapes, relaxed feel, interesting textures... I already own 2, but I was looking for something really unique and original. And as I was shopping for plaster and paint in an hardware store, I stumbled upon this ah-may-zing woven rattan roll and the crazy idea came…

MAI 08, 2017 Bonjour à toutes! J'ai enfin pu de nouveau faire un petit DIY pour le printemps :) Je voulais redonner un peu d'intérêt à certains vieux tops basiques que j'avais dans mon placard, et une des façons les plus simple de s'y prendre est d'adopter une des récentes tendances pour laquelle j'ai littéralement fondu: les détails brodés. Mais au lieu d'acheter un énième t-shirt, j'ai préféré transformer ceux que j'avais déjà. Et ça c'est révélé remarquablement facile en plus d'être super…

NOVEMBER 21, 2016 I hope you guys are all doing very well! I haven't been posting a lot lately... If you do follow me on social medias, you may know that beside having a lot of work, I caught a flu last week and spent the whole time sick in bed. I also had some thoughts about my blog, I was feeling demotivated, although I still had crazy inspiration. I had the feeling that our work here wasn't inspiring enough, that it had no value and that we got invisible and lost in the huge world of…

SEPTEMBER 08, 2016 I hope you’re all doing well! This week has been my first as a teacher, and I can tell you, I am exhausted. I go to bed at 9.30 pm and I spend all my free time preparing my lessons, I feel like I would need an entire week now to rest from these few stressful days… All my “baby teachers colleagues” tell the same, I guess it’s normal when you start working with pupils! It’s been a while since the latest DIY post! I made this one especially to make something out of these…

JULY 14, 2016 I've seen more and more of these kind of jewels with seashells! I think they are so pretty for summer, easy to pair with anything and also actually quite easy to make! I have done these pendants using shells I've brought back from holiday, which makes it a nice souvenir, but you could easily buy some with the hole already done. Follow the steps to make your own minimalist seashell necklace, and add some more details such as beads or pompoms for a more sophisticated version! On…

MAY 12, 2016 I've got some good news! :D As you may know, I've just passed the first part of the teacher's competitive exam and i've been selected to pass the second part, which means I'm not very far from this awesome job! :D Lots of work and revisions are ahead which is quite stressful but I feel already happy that I've managed this first part :) Now on to the DIY: Off shoulders tops are quite successful this season, and you can see why! They are so feminine and elegant, easy to wear and…

DECEMBER 11, 2015 This year, I teamed up with Westwing to present you a Christmas DIY to brighten up your home! This is actually one of the biggest family traditions, along with baking Christmas cakes, "Bredalas", and decorating the tree: Making Christmas Advent wreathes with my Mum! This tradition is quite huge here in Alsace, probably because of our closeness with German culture that is the origin of it. On a chilly afternoon, we would sit on the carpet with our branches, put on some music…

SEPTEMBER 03, 2015 I'm back with a new DIY, it has been such a while! This one has allowed me to recycle an old scarf eaten on the edges, and turn it into a nice half scarf- half necklace. Follow the steps and share if you like! <3 Je suis de retour avec un nouveau DIY, ça faisait longtemps! Celui-ci avait pour but de recycler une vieille écharpe en laine mangée sur les bords, et en faire un accessoire mi-collier-mi-foulard. Suivez le guide et n'hésitez pas à partager si ça vous plait! <3 1…

NOVEMBER 13, 2014 I'm back with a new DIY! That wasn't exactly planned for today but as the weather has been absolutely awful this past week and as the light was so bad and dark that we couldn't shoot anything outside this week, we had to present it instead of an outfit. I do hope the sky will clear out soon and that you will like it anyways! Now, the DIY. as you may have noticed, embroidered ribbon has become a staple ingredient in my creations, it allows me to fulfill my need of…

Did you also watch with interest the massive espadrilles trend taking over the blogosphere this Summer? Chanel and Vuitton luxury'a take on this classical hot days and beach shoes from the Pays Basque definitely brought it back in trend. I would definitely have purchased a good pair of Vuitton's ones but I'm not sure my banker would have been happy with it. I had forgotten about my frustration until I went on the French Riviera and bumped into a small shop in old Nice, selling dozens of…

Tadaa! I finally took the time to do for you this (most requested) DIY embroidery tutorial! The technique isn't really difficult but you need to be very patient. It's a perfect activity when you're watching a movie at home if you're like me, unable to sit quietly on your sofa without doing anything else :) This is my very first tutorial, I hope you'll find it complete! If you need further explanation, please ask me! ;) Tadaa! J'ai enfin pris le temps de faire ce tuto (beaucoup réclamé) de…

As you may know, I am a huge admirer of Miranda Kerr. I love her philosophy and her great sense of style! Recently, she wore a beautiful Proenza Shouler jacquard skirt, but sadly it was way too expensive for me, so I tried to find a fabric looking like the one of which the skirt was made, and I was very lucky to find this one, a 70's vintage fabric on Etsy! Comme vous le savez peut-être, j'admire énormément Miranda Kerr. J'aime beaucoup sa philosophie et son style vestimentaire! Elle a…
