Femininely Androgynous - How to make trending menswear look sexy...and get the look for less.

Hugh Hefner's famous men's magazine, Playboy, is more world-widely known and recognized, than any other of its kind. Ask Playboy readers what makes the magazine's photos stand out over the web's endless supply of eye-popping, chest-clutching, uncensored nude media and the unanimity of the answers can be chalked up to the following summation: Playboy's images are more "classy" than images in other magazines. The photos emit sex, but in a "artistic", and more "beautiful" less "raunchy" way. I decided THAT is the EXACT portrayal I try to accomplish when I dress myself..."classy sexy".

How to Paint Old Wood Furniture Modern...With Colored Paint and a Marker!

How to Paint/Update Old Furniture
This end table before I got my crafty little hands on it defied shabby-chic. It wasn't chic at all actually...so much so that it was in storage. My mother, being the original do-it-yourselfer, had gotten her hands on it years ago and attempted to stain it. So, before my revamp, it was a dark wood, some areas shiny from the stain and some areas scratched and chipped from time and ALL UG-LY. The picture of the brown, wooden table is not my before photo because I don't have a before photo of my table. However, and you just have to trust me, the wood table pictured is pretty close to the look of mine in it's previous state...except mine was WAY...MORE...UG-LY-ERRRR!

Funkadelic Footwear - My new shoes and where to buy them online.

Just as Carrie Bradshaw orgasmically uttered to a window-displayed, pink, ruffly, high-heeled shoe, I attest..."Hello Loverrrrr!" 

These zigzag, stacked wedges came from God, in the disguise of a UPS guy, along with the 6 other pairs I ordered from www.amiclubwear.com. If you have not already checked them out, Go! Now! Forget my blog and go!



In my opinion, and for my measly shopping budget (which encompasses every penny I earn) I think they have the best shoe selection and the best prices...I'm talking dirt cheap ladies. Don't overlook their homepage which often contains a password that you can provide when you are checking out to get whatever promotional discount they have going on...I've seen 40-50% off!


How to Make a Feather Skirt Peplum DIY, Without Sewing


How to Make a Peplum from Feathers
When these vintage-inspired, short, over-skirts became all the rage, I immediately started thinking up how to put my personal spin on the accessory. Search Google Shopping for 'feather peplum' and find one for purchase, I dare ya! Not there right? Feathers it was! After all, one doesn't wrap up in a peplum for the ballgame. This was going to be my outfit addition for an appropo, special occasion. And so began my feather peplum creation. What do you think? Making this thing is sooooo easy peasy I almost feel a little embarrassed and "high-n-mighty" to be giving you instructions on how to glue feathers to elastic...but here goes. Please leave feedback.
