DIY: Ombre dye shorts

I fell in love with this blog "Honestly... WTF"! They have the best DIY's! At first it was all about the homemade arm party, but then I saw the DIY ombre dyed jean shorts! I went straight to Michael's and bought some dye!! Or is it diy...?
This is me in the end result v

I had old light colored jeans laying around, put them on, made a mark and cut off the legs. The next step, and this is optional, is destroying the denim to make them look vintage. To do this I had help from a previous blog post.

You can put your own style into it! I personally chose to do red and blue, and dyed the whole jean so that the shorts went from pink at the top to red to purple at the very bottom. You may have to resort to art class in middle school- remember, blue and red mixed make purple! Have fun!

Killin' it: "Arm Parties"

PART 1:
I put "arm parties" in quotes because I did not come up with this awesome phrase. It has quickly becoming one of my favorites. I started stacking my arms with bracelets a couple years ago (primarily silver), but for some reason- got a little over it. UNTIL.... the friendship bracelet. It has re-introduced me to the world of scavenging for random bracelets to cover my arms, thus the arm party. Here are some GREATEST examples from the coolest blogs:)

All the above images are from the man repeller, who is also the inventor of this killer phrase "arm party". (i think.. feel free to debate that one)

DIY: T-shirt cutting

Just a quick lil' post cause I randomly decided to cut up some old shirts laying around whilst doing laundry tonight:) These are some of my fav's....

This one is very easy: just cut off the bottom wherever you please (I draped mine a little lower in the back) and then cut of the arms right at the stitching. I also cut off the neck rim and stretched it out so I could rest it off my shoulder. Make sure you stretch out every cut!

Back view..

Just a little different. I cut off the arms closer to the neck and farther down the sides to create pretty big arm holes. I didn't cut off the bottom or the neck rim, but I did tie a knot in back!

Great cut for side boob! :) Notice the knot in back! If u don't feel comfortable wearing a crop top like this, try putting this shirt over a racer back dress, or a maxi dress!

This is a god awful tank top from forever 21 that I decided to fringe cut the bottom. It's wearable, but I'm not in love.....

Fringe cut: just cut strips along the bottom of the shirt, as far up as you want. Make sure to stretch out the strips so you cant see any imperfections!

Killin' it: Ankle boots

Sorry sandals and flip flops. Or even wedges and pumps for that matter. Ankle boots have kicked your sorry little asses for summer! No matter what I'm wearing; shorts, dresses, bellbottoms, or skinnies. I'm pairing it with ankle boots. At first they were hard to find, but of course stores are finally starting to catch on to what's cool. My favorite place to find them around LA? Wasteland! Vintage/worn in, designer and a great price! Here are some prime examples of what I'm preachin' about....
