We’re all about loose fitting jeans these days – not your standard boyfriend jeans but ones of the baggier variety. There is just an undeniable cool factor to them. And for the naysayers afraid of looking frumpish? It’s all about cuffing your denim and pairing them with some heels.
I wish I can say I thought of this idea. But really, it was this creative bride and her stunning wedding that inspired these handmade lace tambourines. The timing of the discovery could not have been more ideal since my dear friends were getting married a few weeks later. I thought they would be the perfect addition to their impending nuptials. With just a few simple materials, I sat down to make these adorable wedding favors – just in time for their Labor Day Weekend celebration!
You’ll need:
- 1 6-8″ wooden embroidery hoop
- 12 1/2″ brass jingle bells
- 1/4 yard of lace fabric
- 2 yards twine or thick string
- hot glue gun
- pencil

We officially bid summer farewell this past weekend. Sad face. Enter Mango‘s fall lookbook which is chock-full of chunky knit sweaters, long cardigans, denim and plaid shirts, voluminous scarves and classic ankle boots – all inimitably styled to inspire next season’s wardrobe staples. Frowns are now turned upside down.
After purchasing and converting an old sheep and cattle station into a private guest house, just off the coastline of Banks Peninsula in New Zealand, real estate developer Mark Palmer added another farmhouse inspired villa to the ever so secluded Scrubby Bay. Surrounded by hills of tussock lies a cedar-clad, ocean front house that is completely remote, private and simply stunning. Take me there and please, do not disturb.
