DIY Necklace: Pretty and Punk

Black stones whatever and neon pink string - from Carolina's fabric store

In lieu of the White Tank DIY, I tweaked a necklace that I bought from Carolina's (I don't even know if it's a necklace because it didn't have chains and there was no way to wear it). I bought neon pink strings and doubled knotted it into each space. Took me around 10-15 minutes of twisting and knotting. I like how it kinda looks a bit rock and roll but girly and classic at the same time..=) Such a versatile piece, can't wait to wear it!

I actually tried doing the White Tank DIY last night but my scissors weren't sharp enough and the lace got snagged..=( Plus, my patience ran out and I got sleepy haha.. So I'll probably do it on the weekend when I'm home.

My Magic Skirt + DIY chain necklace again!

Let me tell you a little story about this skirt I saw this in SM department store a month ago and was immediately smitten because of it's tiered puffy look.. I thought to myself: " Me likey! Very avant-garde looking.. Am I really in SM?" So I tried it and of course I took it home along with her nude colored sister..

When I went home to try it on again, I noticed that the puffs were not equal so I inspected the inside. I was surprised to discover that the skirt was the magic skirt I saw online a long time ago.. I was so happy to see the knots on the inside!! I was so excited with the possibilities..

I can wear it and puff it differently..And I can wear it as a simple long skirt if I unknot the ribbons inside.. The skirt is such a genius and what's best is it's only 400 pesos! Initially, the puffs were the reason why I bought it but when I tried the long version, I kinda like the starkness of it more..=)

Which style do you like more the puffed or the long skirt?(Tank: Topshop; Skirt: SM dept store; Shoes: Primadonna; Sunglasses: People are People; DIY chain necklace; Bag: Louis Vuitton) Oh, and the necklace is a new DIY.
It's a one-of-a-kind piece not because the materials are rare or it's hard to do but only because I just tied, twisted, knotted and VOILA instant DIY necklace, I don't know how to replicate it hehe..=P

I will be showcasing my little shoe collection for my 50th post.

4 DIY necklaces in 30 minutes!

Started out with these:

(DIY materials: from Carolina's; Ribbon from Calliope; Safety pins from a sari-sari store)

Ended up with these:

The leopard print ribbon is actually my pony tail holder, I just pinned it to the chain..
(Forever 21: gray tank and vest)

My Mix and Match DIY Necklaces.. I call them "The Pinned Collection". I don't know if they're actually 4 because they're kinda mix and match and some are parts of the chunkier necklace and some pieces can be worn on their own. Yes, I did it in 30 minutes because I only used safety pins to anchor and put the chains together. No scissors, pliers or hooks.. So fun, I felt so crafty last night!

And oh, remember the sneakpeek DIY necklace I posted before? I'm also done with it but I want to post it with decent outfit posts.. Not me looking silly with the selftimer in my cramped up apartment..=P

Thanks for all your greetings on my last post!!=)

I wish I could say that I made this too

But I did not..=P

My necklace is from Madhuri Hemandas (she is an Indian designer based here in Manila). How I wish I could design and do beadworks as intricate as this. I first saw this necklace last year in an editorial in a local magazine it was made to order so I texted her immediately and after about a month it's mine!!=) I love how it looks rich, dramatic and unique since it's made to order! It truly amps up my blue dress which I bought from People are People during one of the sale season for only 500 pesos ($10).. I can't believe that a 500 peso dress can have this complex detail..The dress is so versatile because it has ruching at the bottom which you can morph into different looks..
The shoes are from a local stored called Celine which I got on sale for 700 pesos ($14)
Yeah yeah I'm such a sucker for items on sale.. Hehe..
I am loving the pseudo-wooden heel!!
Very YSL!=)

COMPARE THE HEM

Notice that the hem looks different right? You would almost think that it's a different dress..

Talkin' about versatility!

Wore this last year when we watched the gig of my med school friends..

By the way. today is my sister's graduation. We didn't attend the ceremonies because they only allotted each student 2 tickets and those are for my parents. So we just ate at a Spanish restaurant afterwards.. The food was great and they had singers singing in Spanish but sounds very much like a Filipino kundiman (old Filipino love songs)!

Sorry I do not know what happened but there seems to be a huge space here which I can not remove.. keep on scrolling down for older posts!=)

Sneakpeek: DIY Chain Necklace

Yey I'm officially done with my clearance!!!=) I've passed all the requirements and paperworks for graduation.. I'm done with running around the hospital looking for residents and consultants.. EXHAUSTING is an understatement!!

So now on to more serious matters..=P

Presenting my impending DIY Chain necklace:


I still have to go to the fabric shop for the hooks and some black satin.. Planning to add some pearl strands for some girly touch.. I'm excited I hope I finish it before graduation.. I'm planning to buy a non-embellished, non-beaded aka PLAIN dress so I could wear this..
Wish me luck!
