The FASHIOLISTA app



Finds and inspiration

It's unbelievable how often I find myself (make believe) shopping on my Fashiolista app for nice items. Best invention ever!

How it works
By following stylish 'fashiolistas' you will be able to see what they love. You can 'love' it yourself so you practically build a whole collection out of the items you loves - a great way to express your style and look for new items to put on your shopping list. You can also post your own fashionable 'finds' that others can like again.

Inspiration
It's a real fun way to get inspiration, trends and I get a lot of DIY inspiration from browsing my daily items on Fashiolista. I think, the best thing is that you don't always know the brand names, so it's all about the look of the item!

Here are some 'loves' on Fashiolista I've put right in my inspiration/DIY idea folder..

Measure the size and sew thin pieces of different fabrics together to make the skirt.
*Add studs or sequins for extra sparkle

Use thick and lace and sew it on a existing white skirt

Sew zippers into a basic coat
*Have to try this ASAP!

Embriodery: gold sequins or lace on the shoulders

A simple pattern with a sophisticated and rich fabric
*See easy pattern tracing here 

Wrap a neon/bright/attention-grabbing belt around a simple white or black bag
*On trend AND extra safe from pickpockets!
 

Spray paint a simple bag - metallic!


Sew strings of beads or different bracelets on a zipper
to create the instant-arm-party-effect
 
OMG so beautifull..
this might require some experience and patience, but it's so pretty!


1,2,3: google 'Chanel logo', print and iron on!


Warning: zippers will heat up in the sun, so might not be the best DIY idea..


Home made enamel jewelry - love it!

Super glue on: stones, old earrings, etc..

Gotta find a good way to apply studs on leather - Anyone?!

Love the separate collars, real easy to make!
 
Not really a DIY, just love leopard.

Glue a scarf on an envelope bag.

Sew a metallic chain and neon rope on a chic jacket

Glue a sprakling ribbon on a simple (leather) ribbon


Cut the collar from a girly unused blouse

Tie-dye and cut off: ready for action!

Add different little charms to a pendant


Zipper bracelet
