DIY Advent Calendar
The countdown to Christmas has officially begun and I’m sharing a last minute advent calendar DIY inspired by this tutorial I spotted on Pinterest a few days ago. I know it’s a little late but I honestly didn’t get around to making this myself until yesterday afternoon . . . getting things done at the 11th hour seems to be my new norm these days.
DIY Crystal Studded Straw Bag
This crystal studded straw bucket bag is perfect way to upcycle the abundant amount of straw bags and baskets that I can’t seem to stop collecting during the summer months. Adding large crystals to the bag instantly adds glamour and transforms it into a winter appropriate accessory. Here, I’m simply using an inexpensive mini straw belly basket but of course, any small straw bag or basket will do . . .

DIY Gingerbread Gift Tags
If you’ve got some time in the next few days, and haven’t finished wrapping all your gifts yet, may I suggest trying a fun tutorial for gingerbread gift tags? I had so much fun making these – Quincy even helped me roll out the dough and cut out the shapes with cookie cutters!
Art
Marianne Eriksen Scott-Hansen
Honestly, wow . . . let’s just take a moment to bask in total awe of the pure magic that artist Marianne Eriksen Scott-Hansen creates, shall we? The Danish paper artist has been making paper flowers for years – her process involves cutting through 50 to 60 layers of papers at a time to create her delicate and larger than life flowers.
Style
Danse Lente
London-based handbag label Danse Lente garnered a small cult following since its launch in 2016 and earlier this year, it was an unusual hexagonal tote that took the fashion world by storm. Designer Youngwon Kim has since continued to design bags with angular shapes, clean lines and striking color palettes – all inspired by her love of modern architecture, Picasso and Joan Miró.
