Nothing

Dolce&Gabbana AW2012

DIY D&G HEADBAND

You will need:

A minimum 3-4 cm black velvet headband

Pearls, different sizes

Light and dark gold pearls, different sizes

Black beads

Crystal-like beads

Gold sequinsAnything that sparkles

White and black polymer clay

Needle and thread

First of all use polymer clay to make DIY roses. Make the white ones first, to avoid the white clay to get dirty because of the black one. You will need about 7 to 10 roses for each colour, it depends on the thickness of your headband and the amount of pearls and beads you have.

Make roses of bigger and smaller sizes, the result will be more classy and gaudy. You can find a video tutorial to make the here. Make a little hole that goes through and through the base of each rose, you will need it for later to sew the pieces on your support. Bake following the instructions.

Tip: Feel free to put beads and sparky things in the center of the roses.

Once you have your roses you can start to sew them along with all the beads, sequins and sparkly things. Arrange all elements to taste.

I guess the secret's out / Like a river flows / It's never over done / Out of control

 I love dogs thus I simply love this t-shirt. Every time I put it on I feel like I'm 10 years old. Its pattern has 

one of my favourite style in drawing, simple, minimal and ironic, Lazy Oaf strongest point.

Regarding the faux fur, this coat was my best purchase of 2012.

Sometimes best things come by chance, this look came like this, by putting items I love most together. 

Maybe this look isn't the most original or special, but it's the one I feel best in it.

Love,

Bea

Presents on :)

Christmas cake

Yes, I made this. I used to be a wild baker once, so I thought to go back to my past skills for Christmas day. This is the outcome. 

It looks more like a birthday cake, but I have faith in your flexibility and imagination.

For those who want to try to make this out, here's the recipe of dark chocolate cake with ganache frosting  from Martha Stewart. I added a half more of the ingredients (both cake and frosting) to make a third layer, just because I prefer three-layered cake to double-layered ones, they're more attractive. 

I also used milk chocolate for the frosting, instead of the dark one, to obtain the dark-and-light brown effect.

Good holidays.
