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.

DIY INSPIRATION BODYSUIT JUMPSUITS




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.
