Buy some beads, fabric flowers and thread, and start making your own jewelry; it’s so easy you’ll wonder why you never did it before. Play around with scraps, tiny toys and anything you find lying around, and just like that you’ve got you own unique (and cheap!) accessories. Here are some of the ones I’ve made lately:

For this necklace I used glass beads, fabric flowers and vaxed thread. A smart tip is to use a neadle to pull the knots tight into the beads; this way it looks better.

These are made of hard plastic that I put scraps inside. To keep it together, either glue or sew.

A variety of other designs.

The fashion shows has presented an exciting look for this fall. Some of the top items that I will be looking for are:

70’s baggy handbag Already got a great knock off at H&M.

Grey t-shirt The hottest basic this fall. Match it with big golden jewelry.

Vest Still going strong. I’ll also get one in faux fur for that 70’s look.

Everything tweed Just love, love, love!

Military jacket Can be matched with anything.

70’s boots The 70’s is still hot. Check out Ebay.

Pouffy skirt Purple?

Gold As long as it’s golden, it’s good.

Fur hat For that romantic Russian style. Find them cheap at a secondhand store.

Big ear rings To wear with the fur hat. Easy to find great pairs at any secondhand store.

Cape To keep me warm in my dresses during the winter, or to put over the gray t-shirt.

Gauchos I’ll get mine in tweed.

To sum up: The three hottest styles this season, in my opinion, are the 70’s comeback, the Russian romantic and the andronygous made sexy.
