DIY- Wrapping Paper

No time to get wrapping paper?

No money to get wrapping paper?

Bored of wrapping paper designs?

No problem!

1.Take your old magazines

2.rip out images you think would be appropriate

3.tape them together

and you have one-of-a-kind wrapping paper :)

You can be as creative as you would like. You can personalize it to the gift receiver and/or have it correspond to the gift itself.

I wrapped mine with fashion spreads but you could use car magazines, cooking magazines, fitness magazines, even newspapers! Its a great way to recycle your old magazines while giving gift wrapping a creative kick.

I know you aren't done all your gift wrapping yet , so give it a try!

The debut of Valentino s virtual museum is exciting news!

It is such a pleasure for Valentino lovers such as myself, to be able to enjoy the masters great works in the comfert of our own homes. No time limits, no crowds or noisy patrons. You are completely alone to get lost in the vitrual world of Valentino.

Its fantastic how its available to everyone and anyone around the world! You dont need to pay, travel, or wait in line to view such a collection. It is just there at a click of a mouse! 

Congratulations to you Mr.Valentino and Mr. Giancarlo, whom funded the project entirerly on their own. This is a monumental achievement which touched and inspired many of us.

If you did not watch the press conference, it is well worth the hour of your time. Filled with many inspiring words and one that will be remembered for ever.

 "In fashion today there is not enough dream"

Called It. Locked it.

Do you ever see something come out in fashion and you say " I swear I thought of that a years ago" or something along those lines? I feel like that happens to me CONSTANTLY!
As a result, I have tried to make a habit of documenting myself when a new idea comes to me. Starting this blog was in part to help me document and publish these ideas, but I haven't been too good at it recently, let alone blogging in the first place.

Anyways today I had one of my moments where an idea came to me and I had a feeling that if i don't say something about it now next season ill be kicking my self for it. So here it is: LUNCH BOXES & or BAGS will become the new accessory, the new bag, the new thing everyone will be into.

I am sure when you were a child you used to have a small lunch box. One of those cute ones with super heroes of Hello Kitty and there was a reason our parents made us use them. They are practical! Especially since more and more people are bringing their own lunch we need a stylish and practical method of transportation. Its also a easy way to add some fun to our outfit. You can be as outrageous or simple as you want, and its an item that works for men and women.
