DIY The Look


Recreate the look of Frida Kahlo in #DIYTheLook with Mary.

I chose to recreate the look of the fierce and forever stylish Frida Khalo. My main interest is jewellery, and my current favourite designers are Arpana Rayamajhi and Susan Alexandra – both of whom I think could have made jewellery for Frida! It was the ‘Fiesta Earrings’ which inspired me to put together this look. Also, I am currently experiencing a winter in Sweden, so wanted to choose something summery, colourful and fresh to look forward to warmer weather.




Recreate a 1940’s rock look in #DIYTheLook with Ruth Oosterman.

I have always been drawn to the post war era and the glamourous women with their hair pinned up, bright red lips and of course, the pearls. That being said, I find an overly polished look can be too much for everyday wear which is why I’ve added a few rocker chic pieces. The leather bag, red heels and skinny jeans modernize the look while the studded coat, reverse French nail and the skeleton shirt add a feistiness. The best part is how most of these things can already be found in your closet or craft box so you can create the look yourself, just add your own touch and voila!




Recreate the look of Taylor Momsen from The Pretty Reckless in #DIYTheLook with FallenBeyond.

I love rocking out to The Pretty Reckless when I’m just getting started with my day or in need of some musical hype. Aside from her mature voice, I always liked Taylor’s edgy stage outfits with tight clothing and long socks or boots paired with some sort of leather jacket. This outfit was made using her general style of clothing with a zombie necklace in reference to her song “Zombie”, and of course, her iconic heavy smoky eye.




Create a budget friendly look for fall in #DIYTheLook with Melissa from The Fashion Huntress.

What I love about this look is that most people have all these items in their home already! You can reinvent and get creative for a relatively low cost. Fashion DIY on the perfect budget is where it’s at for fall!




Recreate the look of Morticia and Wednesday from the Addams Family in #DIYTheLook with Jennie.

As the weather turns cooler, and the leaves begin to die, I’ve been in the mood to rewatch my favorite Halloween movies. My all time favorite being the Addams Family. I’ve always adored the macabre fun of the Addams clan, especially the ladies of the family. Morticia, the matriarch femme-fatale, able to seduce her husband with just a few French words falling from her ruby painted lips. ‘Oui, mon cher!’ And her daughter Wednesday; disturbingly well-read, brilliant, enthusiastic, and creepy all at the same time, in her classic black dress with the pristine white collar and long braids. So perhaps this Halloween you can take your inspiration from one of the Addams ladies. After all, aren’t we each searching for someone in this world to love us as devotedly as Gomez loves his Morticia?




Create a super feminine flowy outfit in #DIYTheLook with Melissa.

It's a super feminine, flowy look. There's a focus on flowers and corsets. It was something I thought would be comfortable. I thought it would be good for a day out shopping or going out to eat. Not too dressy but would transition well into a fancier venue. It's something I could see Melissa McCarthy wearing.




Recreate the style of eleven royalty in #DIYTheLook with VillainousNinja.

I've always been inspired and encouraged by nature themes. With Autumn just around the corner, I thought: what better theme than a woodland? And when I think about a woodland, of course that means elves and faeries! I've patterned this look roughly after the elves depicted in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, but feel free to modify the look to embody your own favorite elf!




Create a colorful summer look, perfect for the pool in #DIYTheLook with Bertha.

It's never too late to create a fun and colorful summer look from head to toe! These are just a few of the many awesome and cool tutorials you will find. Have fun with these instructional and feel free to create your own, don't forget to share!




Recreate the jazz age style of Zelda Fitzgerald in #DIYTheLook with Julie from Knitted Bliss.

Zelda Fitzgerald is the quintessential jazz age icon. Flapper and party girl extraordinaire, the wife of one of the most popular novelists of the day (F. Scott Fitzgerald, of course!), Zelda was everything about the Great Gatsby era. Charming, beautiful, and always up for celebrations, the mystique of the flapper era never ceases to fascinate me. It exudes a fun, feminine, and yet powerful style for women who were hellbent on defining themselves and doing whatever they damn well pleased. here's to the jazz age, and the most fascinating flapper of them all.




Create a chic morning look in #DIYTheLook with Linda from Nice dress! Thanks, I made it!

An Excellent Way to Start a Day! I can just imagine getting up one morning, dressing this chic, and relaxing out on our deck in the sunshine to read my book and have a snack of iced coffee and cake on a hot day - it would give me a Parisian feel, like a fashionable Mademoiselle sitting outside a coffee shop along the Avenue des Champs-Elysees.
