DIY INSPIRATION ROMANTIC DRESSES

MeliseKrem instagram Melis Ekrim
It's the month of May already it is almost summer! The beginning of the year I said I wanted to make lots of dresses for the summer and that is what I'm going to try to do for this month. The challenge is to make six dresses. It is very ambitious of me, but if I try my best and cheat with some clothing transformations, I should be able to make it. Do you have a sewing challenge for this month?

DIY INSPIRATION FABRIC PENDANT LAMPSHADE

I bought this lamp just for the sake a lamp was needed for the bedroom and it was on sale! In picture it does look all right but in person I don't like the lampshade. That is the danger of sale or Black friday, you tend to buy stuff you don't need or don't like in my case. 

You have probably seen these type of lamps for several years on Pinterest or Tumblr, especially in Boho/Scandinavian style decors. I think I will combine the Enoki(image 3) and Koushi(image 6) style lamp into one, but I could also go for the easy road and cover my lampshade with stretched fabric like the Petite Friture lamp(image 5) which is designed by Marc Sarrazin. Either way my lampshade has the perfect shape for this future DIY project. Which lampshade do you like the most from the photos?

DIY INSPIRATION FLORAL EMBROIDERY

Embroidered jackets, skirts, jeans, shoes you've seen them all. It feels like this trend is flying over the internet more than ever. The Gucci sneakers and loafers and the Dolce & Gahanna skirt caught my attention. I have similar shoes layering around that I can DIY.

Finding good and beautiful patches in the Netherlands is so hard to find. I've been searching online for hours, LOL. Ebay and Aliexpress are no options it takes days before you receive your order. Tomorrow I'm going to the market, hopefully I can find some! Otherwise I might have to order on Ebay after all.

These kind off 'bodycon bodysuit jumpsuit' are super sexy and easy to style. I saw the jumpsuit first at American Apparel a few months ago. Now Tumblr is full with this jumpsuit and they are available on all online shops.  I'm thinking about to do a tutorial of this jumpsuit. Let me know if you want to see a tutorial of this jumpsuit.

DIY INSPIRATION ALEXANDER WANG MESH TOP


H&M teamed up with one of my favourite designer mister Alexander Wang. I was so excited when I heard the great news. This was seriously the first H&M designer collaboration where I thought I want, love and need everything of the collection! It was time to save money for that one moment. When that moment was there!! ''Nah, I don't want to spend 130 euro on one stupid mesh top.'' Eventually I ended up with nothing still like the design though for that reason is this my next DIY project. Stay tuned!

H&M werkte samen met één van mijn favoriete ontwerper meneer, Alexander Wang. Toen ik het goede nieuws hoorde, kon ik niet wachten op dat ene moment. Dit was serieus de eerste H&M designer samenwerking waarvan ik dacht: Oké, ik moet alles hebben! Het was dan ook tijd om te sparen voor die ene bijzondere dag. 6 november de grote dag en ik zag de prijs van de top. Ik dacht: nee, hiervoor ga ik niet 130 euro betalen. Uiteindelijk heb ik niets gekocht. Het model vind ik nog wel leuk om deze reden heb ik besloten om hiervan een DIY project van te maken.

INSPIRATION BEAN BAG.



I would love to have a fur bean bag in my living room, unfortunately it is a bit pricy. However, the bean bag does brings warmths and coziness in every single room. So, I'm thinking about to make one by myself or to save money for a couple months. I need one, so no more clothes for me.

DIY INSPIRATION. BALENCIAGA HALO.



Remember last year Spring Summer 2013 runway from Balenciaga with all the hair pieces? In the beginning I doubt about if I would ever wear the halo, but after seeing how it looks on others I'm definitely making a DIY project of this one. The halo accessory is perfect to make a statement in the summer. It is a simple classy piece that screams I want me on your head.

GIVENCHY SS 2013.



I'm always in love with the Givenchy shows this one is not one of my favourite, but I still like the collection. The show was during the Paris fashion week. I love the colours they used normally it's always dark now they used some pastel colours. The whole collection is simple, minimalism and elegant. I like how they played with necklines and the shapes.

Creations | Want to make


Yesterday I was looking in my closet and I found out I don't have a skater dress. So I went online searching for a dream skater dress and I founded this dress on topshop. Of course, they don't have the colour I want, and some details I dont like. The plan is to make a look a like of this dress. The back is gonna be different, the skirt more puffy and the sleeves will be skipped and in stand of mesh, I gonna use lace. I hope I can make time and engery this week to sew the dress.

Jewel shorts



Love, love this, is just amazing. I want shorts like that, it's perfect for going out. Does anyone knows a site where I can find a look a like, cause making one is not a option. This one is not going on my diy project list, cause I hate making items by hand. If you have suggestions please let me know I would appreciate it.

Inspiration | Halo Flower headband


The more girls and celebrities I see with the flower headband the more I fall in love with.  I've seen them also on the runway, magazines and on blogs. The headband makes every girl classic. It gives a soft and sweet look. So I decided to make my own currently trend ''flower headband''. I'm so excited to make one. I have already kind of idea how I want it. I can't wait to make one!

Inspiration | Blumarine's Floral Hysteria Highlights


Anna Molinari took the Flower trend so seriously in her Blumarine's Floral Hysteria spring summer 2012 collection during the Milan Fashion week. She is known as for her inspiration and if she got inspired by Flower and she wanted to show that inspiration, but the outfits what she showed was actually tackiness. Thats her style I guess and she gave it to us. No doubt that there are some really nice pieces what I liked and cute too, with a teenage look and a feminine touch. During the show you see flower patterns, prints, accessories. First half of the show she showed colorful pieces, and the second half total white and black pieces. I show you the pieces what I instantly fell in love for not the outfits, haha. My favorite is definitely the flower shorts. Besides the tackiness there are many DIY potentials.

Inspiration | Bustier



When you are looking for something that you want, is always difficult to find. The adventure begins, you go to the city. For hours you getting lost. Then you see in the corner of your eye what you are was looking for! You fall in love, it's calling for you, you come closer and eventually some detail is ruin the hole piece, and the adventure goes on. All stores are closing, disappointed you're going home. 
This is the reason why girls always shop for hours and we drive or self crazy. 
Cause I never find the right bustier for myself I decide to make my own bustier.
