Hey Diva,
I don't know about you but I totally live for the weekend! Especially a laid back, carefree weekend.

Leather Trim Pencil Skirt | Spoiled Diva by CL Felder

Sandals | Steve Madden

Handbag | Michael Kors

Sunglasses | Valentino

This past weekend, I served up black and white with a pop of raspberry! Who says you can't be cute in a plain white tee, pencil skirt and flats? 

The pencil skirt is one of my personal faves from Spoiled Diva by CL Felder. It comes in many colors and prints. You even have the option of adding a cute little black, faux leather rosette pin which is sold separately...get them here!

 So diva...what's your fave weekend look?
 Until next time.

DIY Faux Fur Trimmed Cape

Hey Diva,

As you know, capes are super HAUTE right now and I just know you’ve seen them all over the runways! But did you know that you can make your own in several easy steps? I created this one without a sewing machine, and today, I will show you exactly how I did it!

Step 1. Start with about 1 yard of fleece or wool. Perhaps you have an old fleece blanket that you can use. Fold it in half length wise with the selvage edges together. Then, fold in half a second time. Cut a small half circle for the neckline. Do not cut too deep or the neckline will be too large! If you want, go ahead and round off the bottom edge.

Step 2. Open the cape and lay flat. Cut down the center front on one layer. If you want, you can create armholes on the front of your cape. Mark the position for your armholes and cut slits about 12" long through one layer. I trimmed my armholes with faux leather remnants! You can either hand stitch the faux leather to the cape or use a hot glue gun.

Step 3. I finished the neckline with a neck facing and the outer edge of the caps with black faux leather piping. Ladies, this is where your creativity kicks in. You can finish your edges however you choose...perhaps with fur trim, with pinking shears, or a simple hem. It's up to you, GET CREATIVE! Again, you can either hand sew your embellishments, hot glue gun them, or if you are savvy with a sewing machine...go for it!

 

For the final step, I embellished the neckline with faux fur and added a crown pin. Then, I added simple hook and eye closures at the center front to close it. 

 

What do you think…easy right? I’d love to see your DIY cape designs, please share!

Until next time.

OOTD: Ashley Stewart Color Block Jumpsuit

Black and White Color Block Jumpsuit - Ashley Stewart | Black Studded Pumps - Michael Kors

Hey Diva,
I  fell head over heels in love with this black and white color block jumpsuit by Ashley Stewart the moment I saw it!  And what's not to love? It has all of my fave design elements from the sweetheart neckline and trendy color block detailing to the curve hugging fit and super sexy drop waist peplum accent.

Now that we are experiencing chilly temperatures, I think a super cute faux fur capelet would make for an awesome addition to this jumpsuit. What do you think?

Until next time,

Smooches,
