We wanted to make a special celebration for her, so even though she may not remember the actual party but the pictures and our stories hopefully will make timeless memories for years to come. Since she was born in December, we naturally opted for Winter Wonderland theme with soft tones of silver, pink and white. Imagine an enchanted winter forest with glimpses of sunrise. That was a main inspiration for decor. Most of the decor was DIYed by me. It was a night of treats, laughs and games with closest family and friends. Sweet treat table was a big hit with a Meringue cake, mint marshmallows and custom cake pops. Our house magically turned into a Russian Tea Room. Our Princess fell asleep halfway through the celebration, and even the loud noise of the party didn't bother her a bit.<br />

<br />
Christmas is almost here. Have you decorated a tree this year? I'm sure it looks beautiful!<br />
Mine does too as I became an avid collector of ornaments and a maker (some times) and I'm a fan of all the sparkles, lights and glitz. Every year my tree is bursting with ornaments, so I'm thinking soon I will have to rotate. This year I stumbled upon an inexpensive, unique and super easy DIY project to utilize old unwanted stamps and old ugly ornaments... I just felt too sad to throw both away so I gave them a second life.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You will need: </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Old ugly glass ornament</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Vintage used stamps</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Small foam brush</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Mod Podge High gloss finish</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxRyImeYVmZwuzq86XWcCa2JnhTdr05YbHaK6O_BEamUsUtOBPtnG9RvIyJ4l8YjkPNERJpxmcNmpcTd5NTYGWCG_hJv4Kh4o_UhHZsoTdtTyvxbm9ODjitEbNb7vHXJwyH4GEnI37nho/s1600/FullSizeRender.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxRyImeYVmZwuzq86XWcCa2JnhTdr05YbHaK6O_BEamUsUtOBPtnG9RvIyJ4l8YjkPNERJpxmcNmpcTd5NTYGWCG_hJv4Kh4o_UhHZsoTdtTyvxbm9ODjitEbNb7vHXJwyH4GEnI37nho/s1600/FullSizeRender.jpg" width="680" /></a></div>
<br />
Step 1. Remove the metal part from the ornament. Apply a small amount of Mod Podge onto the surface starting from the top.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc4ul2BwbHSISmpNTElUT0DL9hk1WOlE0w2HxIcd1wRCCXPtWUB8sUZ3wc_4t0Lm1ovH5OsY5oGqQ97KyTITnggzcZSXArXq4GH7Nv8F_RRLmPEKydFtUdJsbwLYJUc-n4Z6_V7tS8sUw/s1600/FullSizeRender+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc4ul2BwbHSISmpNTElUT0DL9hk1WOlE0w2HxIcd1wRCCXPtWUB8sUZ3wc_4t0Lm1ovH5OsY5oGqQ97KyTITnggzcZSXArXq4GH7Nv8F_RRLmPEKydFtUdJsbwLYJUc-n4Z6_V7tS8sUw/s1600/FullSizeRender+%25282%2529.jpg" width="680" /></a></div>
<br />
Step 2. Start gluing stamps one by one, pressing them to the surface with fingers. Make sure there're no creases. Work your way to cover entire ornament with stamps, overlapping the edges.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Step 3. Once all stamps are in place, set the ornament on sturdy object and apply a second coat of Mod Podge covering the entire ornament. You are DONE. Let dry for 2 hours. Reattach the metal piece. The new upcycled ornament is ready to adorn your tree!<br />

<br />
"Look of the Day" post is here. This Black Floral dress has already become a staple in my wardrobe, as it's so comfy to wear and it is so incredibly versatile. With a small child in my arms trying to handle a gadzillion things at a time, I truly learned to appreciate comfort in clothes (of course, without sacrificing the style). I posed in this dress while the Indian Summer gave us few cozy days.<br />
Cheers to Beautiful Autumn!<br />

And here it is.<br />
This black woven poly-blend fabric has been collecting dust in my studio drawers for months until I finally decided to put it to good use. I love the tropical flowers adorning this fabric, they look so festive and romantic. After research and inspiration of possible designs, I gravitated towards a shirt dress, something chic but with a touch of functionality considering I'm running around with a small child :) Hence, my creations boasts some flap pockets, a standing collar and a belt.<br />
I can't wait to show you my finished design.<br />

Black Floral PrintIt's been some time since I posted my "<a href="http://www.dc2nyconfessions.com/2012/04/fabric-project-neon-coral.html" target="_blank">Fabric Project</a>". Over the years it became an outlet for self expression, design creativity and inspiration. But it hasn't been forgotten especially since I look back to <a href="http://www.dc2nyconfessions.com/2012/04/look-of-day-cactus-coral.html" target="_blank">Look of the Day</a> posts and rows of unique outfits in my closet. Since I had a baby things have shifted dramatically. If I said before that I didn't have enough time, now I really fall short. But I try to stay positive and find time, even if there's none. I'm inspired by many successful fashion bloggers who manage to jiggle motherhood and full time blogging. I promise I will start blogging more and won't give up.<br />
Now, let's talk about my current fashion obsession. Fall is coming our way soon, so I started noticing many designers go back to a so called "country chic" style, particularly Black Floral Prints. I found a few dresses that look both chic and feminine. And luckily, I dug up a fabric that was given to me by a friend that has the same pattern. For years it sat in my studio, waiting for its fashion moment. And now the time has come. So, here's my inspiration board. These prices really amaze, but I feel lucky to make a dress at the fraction of the cost.<br />

I've been a great fan of bling and also in love with <a href="http://www.loefflerrandall.com/" target="_blank">Loeffler Randall</a> brand and their bold shoe designs but obviously their prices are too high for my budget. Naturally, I got inspired to diy it at the fraction of the cost (entire project cost me under $50 including the shoes). I recently bought a pair of tan sandals and I thought they would pop with a splash of colored jewels. So, here we go...<br />

A few shades have caught my eye and became particular favorites for the Fall 2015 season. Among them are sophisticated and chic earth tones of Herb and Sage paired with comforting Oak Buff and finishing off with with invigorating Biscay Bay, robust Cayenne and rich Poppy.<br />
Which is your favorite?<br />

Chevron Cape (and Surprise)This holiday season has not only brought many joyous moments but also has been extra special while expecting the greatest gift of all, an addition to our family. A baby girl. So I thought the cape would make a perfect cover up for the bump and give me the warmth and freedom of movement so desired in the last month of pregnancy. Wishing everybody a Happy and Prosperous New Year 2015!!<br />

What if the ingredients are masterfully juxtaposed on a plate to become too beautiful to eat? Some creative foodies, like <a href="http://culinarycanvas.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Lauren Purnell</a>, designed a series of food art plates named "Culinary Canvas" utilizing all kinds of fruit, veggies and herbs. The result is certainly an eye candy!<br />
<div>
Hope, everyone had a great (and indulgent) Thanksgiving!<br />

I not only heard about it in my local weather report, but also felt the piercing wind and dreadful chill as soon as I peeked my nose into outdoors. As a fashionista, not only do I want to be cozy and warm in that frigid torment, I also want to style my look with a trendy appeal. I came across several recent editorials to serve an inspiration and a visual warmth. Indeed, fur (especially long and hairy) undeniably is an ongoing trend for chilly days like today and a long winter ahead.<br />

This summer I purchased a gorgeous wool chevron fabric in heather and charcoal tones as I anticipated to start exploring the outerwear in my Fabric Project series. Initially, the idea was to design a coat, but I always dreamed of a cape. A cape undoubtedly makes a statement, worn historically by leaders of revolution and free spirit. When I saw the design below by Valentino in exact same fabric, and the four-digit price, I nearly fell from my chair. I thought "This is it! I'm making a cape!"<br />
So, wish me luck, as I'm a little nervous sewing outerwear, but I'll do my best and "Look of the Day" post will follow shortly.<br />

And, what am I missing? Of course, the over-the-knee boots, a hot trend this season! Even though this trend made its landfall already in 2013, these tall boots stubbornly marched from runways into Fall 2014 with a more casual, riding style appeal. I'm absolutely swooning over this (should I call it "sexy") trend, as these boots make legs look slimmer and longer and can be worn with a variety of looks. The widened shapes on the top really make a bold leg statement for any fashionista. It's definitely a must-have for every wardrobe, since they go great with either bare legs or skinny jeans or leggings. You choose...<br />

Hammocks in the air took over the Monte Piana peaks of Italian Alps for an annual International Highline Meeting festival. If you're an outdoorsy person with inner streak for super-extreme outing, this is a place for you. These extreme-loving folks call themselves "slackers" because of slacklines they balance themselves on. They suspend the hummocks on flattened rope, which can bounce and wiggle from side to side. But, seriously, how terrifying it must feel to hang in there, but I guess extra adrenaline rush gives them comfort, sorta...<br />

Fringe has been an accessory of choice of many designers for Fall 2014 season, and going strong for Spring 2015. Few days ago I was window shopping online, when I came across many gorgeous fringed clutches, but the one in black particularly caught my attention. Black is a must-have for Fall season, and I knew I can create my very own design without sacrificing my wallet. Also, I dug out an old "plain jane" clutch in the closet, and I thought, "I must do something with it and give it another chance in life!" So, now I can sport this proudly made Fringed Clutch, hooray!<br />

You will need:<br />
1. 10" long fringe<br />
2. Tacky Glue<br />
3. A simple clutch (similar <a href="http://www.target.com/p/tevolio-satin-pleated-clutch-with-removable-wristlet-strap/-/A-15828108#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=clutch" target="_blank">here</a>)<br />
4. 1" Satin Ribbon (similar <a href="http://www.mjtrim.com/satin/25mm-french-doubled-faced-satin-ribbon" target="_blank">here</a>)<br />
5. Tailor's scissors<br />
6. Glue gun, needle and thread, matchsticks, lighter<br />
<br />
***<br />
Step 1: Start with creating a ribbon pattern which will be applied on the clutch. Cut small pieces of ribbon and start gluing from the center. Dab a little glue and use matchsticks to even it out on surface.<br />
<br />

<br />
Step 2. Continue gluing ribbon in a desired pattern overlapping edges. I only glued ribbon on one side.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Step 3. Make sure you seal the top edges with a lighter to prevent unraveling.<br />
<br />

<br />
Step 4. Once you finished one side, let dry for 30 minutes and then continue to the other side. Let dry for another 30 minutes.<br />

Step 5. Carefully trim the bottom edges, seal with a lighter and tack them with needle and thread.<br />
<br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP_66fSQHypS5rMmjFwX9TnSrB9v0Fn89pyRYB9jFjhyNwDy5i8YrtsD0VFgS6KlErUo3jLn35J1utkiVsaxGuPdqvslu84B8X49w3sKagyYevJOjtWymXv5uF2Ci5z_SGgXkHxJjV68A/s1600/DIY+clutch-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP_66fSQHypS5rMmjFwX9TnSrB9v0Fn89pyRYB9jFjhyNwDy5i8YrtsD0VFgS6KlErUo3jLn35J1utkiVsaxGuPdqvslu84B8X49w3sKagyYevJOjtWymXv5uF2Ci5z_SGgXkHxJjV68A/s1600/DIY+clutch-6.jpg" width="650" /></a></div>
<br />
Step 6. Glue the remaining edges on the bottom for a clean look. Let dry.<br />
<br />

<br />
Step 7. I found using glue gun much easier to attach fringe to the bottom of clutch. It's less messy and dries faster. Let dry.<br />

I instantly fell in love with these stunning gowns! Based in Tel Aviv, Israel, this house amazes me with its dazzling creations, accenting special focus on "Sexy Back". The delicate embroidery, dramatic trains and fine beaded details offer an instant show-stopper factor for every bride. The head designer, Galia, comes from Russia, so no wonder it produces the most sophisticated talent.<br />

But have I heard of bejeweled body art in the form of a temporary tattoo?? No!!<br />
I accidentally stumbled upon a unique website <a href="http://www.flashtat.com/" target="_blank">FlashThat</a> that sells gorgeous golden pieces that you can stick to your skin and adorn your body for a few days! Savvy and inexpensive way of wearing a temporary jewelry piece! How adorable!<br />
In your opinion, is it trend or fad?<br />

Art and Tweed<a href="http://www.dc2nyconfessions.com/2014/04/fabric-project-no-13-spring-tweed.html" target="_blank">The Fabric Project No.13</a> has come to life! For those of you who read frequently, you must know that I design and sew my own clothes. This time the skirt has been a challenge, due to its asymmetric nature and the naughty character of fabric. Summer tweed, even though so comfy to wear can become a heap of threads in creator's hands if not given respect and firm grip.<br />
I discovered a local art district and thought the locale would make a great photo shoot. How cool is that to stroll by architecture decorated with over-sized paintings, and imagine yourself in an open-air museum.<br />

It's always been a dilemma what to wear to stay within my style, without overdressing. Recently, I spotted trendy embellished sweatshirts, first worn by supermodels and then adopted by public. As the prices skyrocket for these little closet treasures, I thought it shouldn't be too hard to do in my studio for a fraction of the cost.<br />

<br />
You will need:<br />
1. Short-sleeve sweatshirt (I bought mine <a href="http://www.target.com/p/converse-one-star-women-s-brooke-top-assorted-colors/-/A-15050881#prodSlot=medium_1_10&term=converse+sweatshirt" target="_blank">here</a>)<br />
2. Sew-on rhinestones (similar <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/180699614/12pcs-7x15mm-sew-on-rhinestone-clear?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">here</a>)<br />
3. Sewing supplies (needle, matching thread, scissors)<br />
4. Ruler and pencil<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Step 1.<br />
Lay the sweatshirt out flat, and using rhinestones create a desired pattern. Using a ruler and pencil mark the dots where the rhinestones will be placed.<br />

<br />
Step 2.<br />
Sew on the rhinestones one by one, first using the smaller pieces, then larger. This process maybe a little painstaking, and took me a couple of evenings. I utilized the time I spend watching a favorite movie, so sewing those little sparkles and enjoying a show wasn't so boring.<br />
Tip: I placed a piece of cardboard inside the sweatshirt so that catching a stitch would be easier.<br />

Spring TweedIf you have read my blog for a while, you probably know by now that I'm a big skirt lover and wearer. So, as I browsed for this Spring skirt trends and ideas, the wrap skirt kept me intrigued. It definitely adds dimension to a silhouette, and possibilities with layering are limitless. And specifically, light-weight, so-called "summer tweeds" are entering the market now with a fresh dose of texture and pattern.<br />
This is how Fabric Project No. 13 was born.<br />
Here's my illustration of this project, and this time it's quite ambitious, as it involves two items, a skirt and a blouse. However, the designs are fairly simple, so I hope I can complete it in one weekend.<br />

Many people I know already dream about sun, white powdery sand and turquoise waters in a touristy island, or some kind of tropical paradise. So the message is clear-- the Beach Mode is upon us.<br />
Somewhere far away, in Western Australia, a typical beach scenery has been (so to speak) "embellished" by the 10th Annual Exhibition of Modern Sculpture. To me this is absolutely stunning what the artists from around the world have laid out among sand and palm trees, utilizing the beach scene as the medium for placing objects against surface. Looking at them transforms my reality into a true Beach Mode.<br />

Valentine's Day is tomorrow and while we're snowed in on the East Coast, the message of Love is already spreading and warming our hearts. I always strive to create a personalized card for my sweetheart, and {almost} always at the last minute. Today my original plan was ditched into piles of snow, and I couldn't buy the supplies I had anticipated... until next year I suppose. So, I went into my studio working with bits and pieces, and my imagination and creativity brought this card to life!<br />
<br />

There’s a certain air, an essence, that’s impossible to describe or capture in a photograph. You just have to experience it … a combination of the smell of the place, the sights and sounds.”- says Mr. Vandergrift in an <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/the-living-forest-tree-people-by-clark-vandergrift-captures-magic-of-the-woods/2014/01/16/2296228a-6f19-11e3-aecc-85cb037b7236_story.html" target="_blank">interview with Washington Post</a>. </span><br />

“Tree People” aspires to render that magic. It recreates the connection between humans and nature, reminding the world of the unity and integration between living creatures and wilderness.</div>

I wanted to decorate my front door with a fun wreath, however, I didn't want to place just another "classic round furry circle with some red bows" just like the neighbors'...so, I found some inspiration on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy</a>, like <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/168621428/sale-christmas-wreath-red-holly-berry?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">this Scandinavian-inspired bouquet in a birch vase</a>.<br />

I couldn't find the birch bark to make it exact, also I wanted to quickly create something in time for holidays, so I used an alternative tin container found in Michael's and the project turned out as easy as 1-2-3. It took me literally 30 minutes to complete this project.</div>

You will need:<br />
1. Artificial decor fur and berries branches (available at Michael's)<br />
2. Glue gun<br />
3. Glittered holiday bucket with handles (found at Michael's)<br />
4. Holiday wired ribbon 1.5 in wide (I used matching color)<br />
5.Garden clippers or heavy duty scissors<br />
<br />

<br />
Step 1.<br />
Tie up the ribbon on both handles of the bucket, and leave about 1 yd long for a bow. If you want your wreath to be shorter, then leave 1/2 yd. Trim the edges. <br />

<br />
Step 2.<br />
Trim the long stems of fur and berry branches using garden clippers to fit into the bucket, however, be careful not to damage the tool as the wires underneath are very tough. Start clipping the plastic, and then just bend back and forth until it breaks. Using glue gun, drip good amount of hot glue into the bucket where branches will be positioned, and immediately secure branches in place.<br />
Tip: Start working with tall branches first and place them to the back, and gradually bring shorter ones to the front.<br />

<br />
Step 3.<br />
Once all the branches are secured inside the bucket, tie a pretty bow on the top and wha-la, your very own Christmas wreath is ready to decorate your favorite door!!<br />
