<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fashion week is so exciting! Apart from the fashion shows and possibly an even more treasured highlight of these occasions are the snaps of street fashion. Here, I'm loving the short-suit! Especially the bold colors, accessorised with an adorable flower each time. How about picking up some dye and shortening some trousers into a pair of camel shorts (an ever lasting obsession of mine)?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have always loved my staple pair of distressed denim shorts, to the point where I may have slightly overused. Overused to the point where ripped turned to torn. So I decided not to throw my beloved denims away, rather add a hint of pink.</div>

Finally, I take you to a small town called Montepulciano followed by the beautiful city of Florence. My favorite thing about these two places would definitely have to be the views and the food. Both were absolutely amazing. Below are a couple of photos I took while I was there. This is the last Italian photo diary, so enjoy!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Recognize this fabric? Well if you do it is from this summery tutorial I did way back in August of last year, <a href="http://queenoffunkydiy.blogspot.sg/2012/08/diy-floral-printed-shorts.html" target="_blank">DIY floral printed shorts</a>. Boy, did that year just whiz by. As the new year arrives I am busy clearing out last years things, when my friend and I bought this fabric I clearly remember the shop keeper desperately trying to sell us the entire roll, 3m extra than we needed. We stood there for about 20 minutes trying to say no thank you, we don't have enough money! We barely had any pocket money left. Luckily in the end he gave the rest of it to us for free, I am sooo happy for that. Linen is the perfect circle skirt material, and I still don't have enough pocket money to go out and buy more of it. Oh the problems with being a teenager. For this DIY adventure I was inspired my a present that my mum bought me for christmas, this gorgeous Topshop <a href="http://www.google.com.sg/imgres?um=1&hl=en&sa=N&tbo=d&biw=1280&bih=609&tbm=isch&tbnid=KhS_gStyzSVywM:&imgrefurl=http://reviews.topshop.com/6025/09H01CINK/topshop-uk-cap-sleeve-flippy-tunic-reviews/reviews.htm&docid=8PGRDrLIngdMMM&imgurl=http://media.topshop.com/wcsstore/TopShop/images/catalog/09H01CINK_normal.jpg&w=281&h=420&ei=hI3yUL2kOYyalQXr9oHwAw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=4&vpy=4&dur=472&hovh=275&hovw=184&tx=78&ty=70&sig=112051275491007844552&page=1&tbnh=146&tbnw=97&start=0&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:81" target="_blank">dress</a>. It is so simple, but the circleness of skirt is incredibly flattering on any body type. I've seen many people wear circle skirts around town, it usually looks stunning.</div>

Stuff you need:<br />
Zipper<br />
2m of floral linen<br />
Sewing machine<br />
<br />
1. Measure you waist and calculate the radius of that (correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that is your waist length/2pi). Fold your fabric in half horizontally and then again vertically as can be seen below. The quarter-circle labeled <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>w</i></span> needs to have the radius of your waist. <i>L</i> should be length you would like your skirt to be + seam allowance. Cut along these 2 lines, once you open it all up it should look like a large donut.<br />
<br />

<br />
2. Next cut a slit to open up the donut. Seam both the outer and inner circles.<br />

3. Fold over the open edges and seam them up.</div>

<br />
4. Bring the 2 edges together place the zipper face down on top, mark where it ends. Making sure both edges are touching and fronts of either side are facing each other sew from the bottom of the skirt up till the mark. Then attach the zipper. I found this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuNilGesRCE" target="_blank">tutorial</a> really helpful.<br />

I'm back! With a treat of course, a tour through the beautiful Roma. Spelt backwards it's <i>amor, </i>Italian for love. This city definitely lives up to its name. On the left side of the river lies a whole other country within in Rome itself, behold Vatican City. From Trevi Fountain to the Colosseum, enjoy!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Just a few days ago I got back from an AMAZING holiday
in Italy with my family. The food, the fashion, the everything was spectacular.
After landing in Milan (the fashion capital) we took a suupppeer fast train
east to Venice (a dreamy fantasy, if you ask me). Next we took an even faster train
down to Rome (without question my favorite city EVER), then up through a small
hill town known as Montepulciano (a cozy paradise) on the way to Florence (I
don’t have any words to describe how amazing the art in this city was…just too beautiful).
During the trip I overdosed on photography, taking 800+ photos. It was
practically impossible to condense it down to just one post. Instead I have
decided to split it up into 3 sections: Milan+Venice, Rome (Definitely deserving of its own
post and I took majority of the photos here) and Montepulciano+Florence.<b><o:p></o:p></b></div>

<b>Venice</b><br />
I thought I was in a dream when I entered the city. The charming canals, mazed backstreets, truly extraordinary. The scenes from movies such as the Tourist (how I love Johnny Depp here) came to life, without out all the action though, which suited me just fine.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have to admit that I am one of those freaks who cannot stand throwing fabric away, especially when it's either a funky print or lace. Those are my two major weaknesses. There is absolutely no way for me to use up all the scraps but I try my best to squeeze in a couple of projects here and there that let me save them. Chain bracelets are incredibly chic and elegant, often accompanied by embroidery thread and beads. Fabric scraps almost never look neat but juxtaposed to chain I just melt. The ruggedness just disappears, I love it.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Stuff you need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Chain</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fabric scraps</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Needle and thread</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Use a pair of pliers to cut enough chain to fit around your wrist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
2. Cut several fabric scraps, each one should be around 1cm wide. Play with the different types of fabric. I used printed cotton, t-shirt material and lace.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvgm6bRSmA9r-VIApc36mIfsDWOFDJ0ZrkEauA6y7zl-nA14SbB9abDfp8tmJMqYXrzNC5LRyFVo4bs3c6D_0gVizhkAosmgVckVmRyxxSlFtZBNaYMqbITSziGbncpm1IT4vwD6KAV2BS/s1600/IMG_3571.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvgm6bRSmA9r-VIApc36mIfsDWOFDJ0ZrkEauA6y7zl-nA14SbB9abDfp8tmJMqYXrzNC5LRyFVo4bs3c6D_0gVizhkAosmgVckVmRyxxSlFtZBNaYMqbITSziGbncpm1IT4vwD6KAV2BS/s640/IMG_3571.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
3. Skip the first chain and then put the fabric through the second one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
4. Weave it through the next 5 to 6 chains. Then sew another strip of fabric to the first one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhadr-xi1r-3qho0i_s9fNu28RetNjuZuxp11Yx1mBxZi1Yi28uQft53EvtKKe-e7w_zB7cQrI4W7qDjutgEaVCdETejmuYDx9WyAdc3vlUCRf3fNi7f6jujc-ZjccN_2uTZ0agABlE37-k/s1600/IMG_3574.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhadr-xi1r-3qho0i_s9fNu28RetNjuZuxp11Yx1mBxZi1Yi28uQft53EvtKKe-e7w_zB7cQrI4W7qDjutgEaVCdETejmuYDx9WyAdc3vlUCRf3fNi7f6jujc-ZjccN_2uTZ0agABlE37-k/s640/IMG_3574.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
5. Continue to weave and add the fabric to the bracelet.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
6. Don't go right to the end, leave 4 to 5 chains before that. Trim and knot the excess fabric.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
7. Use your pliers to secure the first chain to the last one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
September, the most confusing month of the year. For me this is an ambiguous time, I'm not sure whether it is Summer or Fall. So I think that September should be its own season, a season dedicated to prints. I absolutely love prints, especially when they are not perfect but a little crooked in a charming way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These photos will hopefully make you want go search for those heavenly sharpies you have hidden somewhere around you and scribble out a beautiful print on that incredibly boring dress that you don't know what to do with. Have fun!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This season I have been drawn to prints, especially floral prints. There are tons and tons of varieties of prints to choose from but to me summer just shouts FLOWERS. After searching for an hour my friend and I finally found the perfect fabric.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Stuff you need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A pair of shorts that fit you well (Just for measurement)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Floral fabric</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sewing Machine</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Newspaper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Elastic</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Fold your shorts in half and place them on the newspaper. Trace it using a pencil or chalk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipXEx0mu808DGOz-cZUvYELPqAswVbGyRowU-YXd71I1RH882H_30Rs_v1sjBJJMOqd2oNmOStBTYg19fFEQu7zRzANI94q3jISY4uhO6r9Znhv0xQmZB4K768GOwuZgbK7B0osSVheMpQ/s1600/IMG_0381.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipXEx0mu808DGOz-cZUvYELPqAswVbGyRowU-YXd71I1RH882H_30Rs_v1sjBJJMOqd2oNmOStBTYg19fFEQu7zRzANI94q3jISY4uhO6r9Znhv0xQmZB4K768GOwuZgbK7B0osSVheMpQ/s640/IMG_0381.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
2. Leave a 2cm gap between the outline of the shorts and where you cut the newspaper. This is for seaming the shorts. You may or may not want to reduce the gap on the far straight side of your stencil depending on how snug you want the shorts to be.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKFwsEvx4CgioZfZUFxVcawXbAPjjTDvwwF4G_ZJrcDKTGerjTUXyqyYB0DpZDLNT0wqdlx9_ABQhBBB2ZzLL19q0YfHdodkKPGuLQ5c-3TU4vIL5UPPkzZf_m6AXdXfOJ0N62mLKOl60J/s1600/IMG_0383.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKFwsEvx4CgioZfZUFxVcawXbAPjjTDvwwF4G_ZJrcDKTGerjTUXyqyYB0DpZDLNT0wqdlx9_ABQhBBB2ZzLL19q0YfHdodkKPGuLQ5c-3TU4vIL5UPPkzZf_m6AXdXfOJ0N62mLKOl60J/s640/IMG_0383.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
3. Fold the fabric in half making sure the far straight side is on the edge. Pin it down and cut around it. Repeat this step twice, making sure the second time the you cut around the edge of the opposite side of the stencil.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

5. Pin and sew down <b>the curve </b>of one side. Not all the way down.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFKY9dS-jDbwsCBVYZ3cgDP4ruej-oMskPAAMazjOQlC3tSTCDz69qbO5wcYbhN3JhECwiOZKMiprGL8f6MBN-jO9GRnuW01vm3JmT6CbeWMkVwD-ThCm7xPfGjnct8dPOYZA_QClZMbvJ/s1600/IMG_0392.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFKY9dS-jDbwsCBVYZ3cgDP4ruej-oMskPAAMazjOQlC3tSTCDz69qbO5wcYbhN3JhECwiOZKMiprGL8f6MBN-jO9GRnuW01vm3JmT6CbeWMkVwD-ThCm7xPfGjnct8dPOYZA_QClZMbvJ/s640/IMG_0392.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
6. Now fold over the top and bottom of the shorts and iron in place then sew. The top seam should be 1.5cm wider than your elastic.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

7. Use a safety pin to thread the elastic through.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

9. Fold the shorts (still inside out) so that the two sewn seams are facing each other. Pin the unsewn straight edges together so that the edges facing each other are sewn together.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
I found this tutorial in Singapore’s weekly Urban newspaper
late last week. It had an entire section on DIY fashion. I was so excited I
waited outside for the newspaper to be delivered. The tutorial was written by Singaporean fashion label <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Villiand+Lovers</i>. The skirt is super simple and well explained. Since I didn’t have any polka dotted fabric
at hand when I found the tutorial I decided to go with what I a meter of
plain white fabric and 2 types of blue dye.<o:p></o:p></div>

3.<span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bali is absolutely brilliant. It will always remain as one of my favorite holiday destinations. Not only is it skirted by some of the world's most beautiful beaches but also has some amazing scenery up on its hills. Rich in food and culture, Bali will never cease to amaze me. The island also has some fabulous shopping locations. Apart from the expected Billabongs and Rip Curls there are some pockets around the location with amazing pieces by both local and foreign designers. I wish I could have explored Bali more, but I spent most of my time underwater with a wetsuit and a tank on my back. I went scuba diving. Most of the photos I took are on my underwater film camera and are being processed at the moment so I will share that with you guys later. Enjoy!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's an idea for another pair of shorts to add to your summer wardrobe. Pipe them. Not only do they look cool but also have a sort of nautical vibe, perfect for the current season. </div>

I began with a pair of off-white capri's that I picked up at the thrift store for $2. After some bleaching, snipping and sewing I welcomed my new pair of shorts with open arms.<br />

The inspiration for these shorts took place amidst last weeks episode of Jane By Design. I loved her shorts but decided to change the colors up a bit.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh how I love staring through the glass windows of Tiffany and admiring the beautiful bajillion dollar pieces of jewelry. With their rings to bracelets to necklaces, Tiffany never fails to take my breath away. These were definitely a unique idea and I loved them. So I bought some key rings and tried to make them on my own.</div>

If you want you could use assorted sizes and colors of key rings or you could just keep it simple like I did.<br />

Now that summer is officially here it is the perfect time for all s's: swimming, smoothies, sunglasses and strapless dresses. This tutorial is an easy and inexpensive way to get your own strapless dress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The result of this dress all depends on the fabric you choose. I was fortunate enough to come across an amazing summery floral while strolling through the fabric store the other day. I fell completely in love with it bought it immediatly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Stuff you need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 meter of fabric</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Elastic</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sewing machine (needle and thread will do)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Iron the fabric.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQWvf5Y8T5ZQf6GI1hr5EuuXWnDbkZ2yn1nJK16yzjhMvp2IQzlAgrDol6Yun_-y6IRiqnm91oszHctpey8RrFilTiohrruDJUuZ_KWqSx4I_xUlbZmEi0y7Oo1MSdwTRhUn2ZLMPyLWL8/s1600/IMG_2913.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQWvf5Y8T5ZQf6GI1hr5EuuXWnDbkZ2yn1nJK16yzjhMvp2IQzlAgrDol6Yun_-y6IRiqnm91oszHctpey8RrFilTiohrruDJUuZ_KWqSx4I_xUlbZmEi0y7Oo1MSdwTRhUn2ZLMPyLWL8/s640/IMG_2913.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
2. Measure around above your chest, under your arms. Add 10cm to this measurement. Find the center of the top of the fabric, this should also be where the center of you measurement is. Cut from the sides of the measurements to the bottom corner of the fabric. It should now form a trapezoid.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM2uW-_x7vZPLuFq0F-6QOZgTJCayJ9KgVn_UB0BoJnpsmypp1_z8bOSQPT6jwOnaQi92UwW3enV_33vi2kRuRbJCQb9asX8nefxaHJUwl7N5pUGCk0zCj7RYobILD1yIOzPeb1Iwwf6x6/s1600/IMG_2914.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM2uW-_x7vZPLuFq0F-6QOZgTJCayJ9KgVn_UB0BoJnpsmypp1_z8bOSQPT6jwOnaQi92UwW3enV_33vi2kRuRbJCQb9asX8nefxaHJUwl7N5pUGCk0zCj7RYobILD1yIOzPeb1Iwwf6x6/s640/IMG_2914.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
3. Fold the fabric in half and pin the sides together. Then sew them together.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglre6xnp2rMu3LPqkcPBR6bhsGLU7xVF3accYKi9XahES4sRs-YTPXQ7R0fDQ9YF7Q2ytPfc8N-4d0lyyRtog1ZcI5iFK8fHjYMW0qUc_vJSE_MuuGVn0R5C3Mgt-FYX6-Btl0VMJpsuga/s1600/IMG_2916.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglre6xnp2rMu3LPqkcPBR6bhsGLU7xVF3accYKi9XahES4sRs-YTPXQ7R0fDQ9YF7Q2ytPfc8N-4d0lyyRtog1ZcI5iFK8fHjYMW0qUc_vJSE_MuuGVn0R5C3Mgt-FYX6-Btl0VMJpsuga/s640/IMG_2916.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
4. Now fold the top of the dress inwards. The seam should be large enough for the elastic to fit inside. Sew in place and leave a gap to put the elastic through.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Best way to make a piece of clothing 'un-boring'? Make some cut-outs. Although it is possible to take this method in the complete wrong direction and over the top you have to plan, don't cut aimlessly. Whether it is super funky, simple, minimalist, or just adds a hint of innocence, cut-outs are bound to excite your wardrobe.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The sacred native american dream catcher is used to protect children from nightmares but can now also be used as a beautiful decorative item. Personally I really love them when they are made in exceptionally bright colors rather than browns and blacks. </div>

Tie-dying is definitely one of the best DIY activities ever created. It's fun and can be used in so many ways. Another benefit of tie-dying is that you will always be original, but that is basically a benefit from all DIY's. Tie-dye is special because you can experiment with original prints.</div>

<br />Frayed pieces of string have never
failed to amaze me in the way that they hang on one’s body. These photos are
all different examples of this and all inspiration for DIY. It may be the raw,
unfinished look that inspires me, or just the uniqueness of the idea. Whatever
it is I really hope it inspires you too.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Even though I am not a big fan of them, my inspiration for this DIY were <a href="http://origin.kaboodle.com/hi/img/c/0/0/16b/2/AAAADNnfsCkAAAAAAWssuQ.jpg?v=1310502491000" target="_blank">frayed crop tops</a>. I love the way the t-shirt material hangs when cut into several strips and sort of curls into a 'noodle'. I've seen many DIYers play with that technique to create necklaces, belts and all kinds of fun stuff but I wanted to do something different. So I decided to bring the frayed from the frayed crop top to the bottom half, in skirt form.</div>

I was super excited for this DIY because when I saw these shoelaces in the store I had no idea what on earth I was going to do with them but I bought them anyways. But when I saw this <a href="http://caviardujour.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Screen-shot-2012-02-22-at-8.49.28-PM.png" target="_blank">Aurelie Bidermann Necklace</a> I immediately thought of my neon shoelaces for some odd reason. I'm glad I did though.</div>
