MAKE: American Apparel Inspired Wired Head Scarf

Yesterday I was out shopping and my friend Caitlin spotted these "Twist Scarves" at American Apparel.  She fell in love.  Super simple, super cute, super ridiculously priced.  $15 for some fabric with a piece of wire inside of it.  So, naturally, I said "Hey! I can make that!"

And I did!

Seriously, this only took about 10 minutes to make.  I think I'm going to make a ton of them because they're OH-SO-ADORABLE and make great gifts, too!

Supplies

Fabric - 36" x 8"

Plastic Coated Steel Wire - 18 Gage - 36" piece (plastic coated is a MUST, otherwise the wire will poke through your fabric)

Sewing machine (you could hand stitch, too.. it'll just take a long long time)

Your fabric should be 4 inches wide when folded in half.  I cut a slant on each end, 4" long, 4" tall and gave it an arrow shape.

Sew inside-out, leaving one end up.  Turn inside-out to get the pattern on the outside and slide your wire inside (36").  Sew up the end with the machine.

AND VOILA!  See how ridiculously easy that was?  

I will most likely have one of these scarves to go with every single outfit now.  Enjoy and have a wonderful wonderful week!  We <3 you!

We Heart Kitsch!

I don't know about you, but I'm a compulsive jewelry hoarder.  I NEVER get rid of jewelry because you just never know if the day will come when it will be in style again or you might just have that one outfit that it will go perfectly with.  When Jen and I were contacted by Kitsch, we were THRILLED.  Aside from being affordable, it is adorable jewelry and hair accessories that you can make work for any occasion.  The best part is that their jewelry is designed to be layered and combined.  Each piece is simple, but eye catching.  You can find their products all over the place!  

These dainty little charm necklaces are perfect for hot summer days when a heavy necklace is just too much for the heat.  They add some sparkly prettiness to any simple outfit without going overboard.

Isn't their packaging awesome??? 

Jen and I both especially adore the Kitsch Hair Ties.  They're absolutely tangle free and perfect for fine, straight hair like mine or thick, curly hair like Jen's.  And they look ADORABLE!  I love the glittery ones so much!  Wearing just a simple pony can get boring, but these add a special little pizazz!  Don't you love Jen's side braid-pony with the blue tie?  Such an amazing look for spring/summer. 

We are both fans for life now! Kitsch has us hooked, for sure.
