RANDOM VOL 2

Sometime I feel like I take way too many random, pointless photos that my computer's memory has almost run out. but 14GB is still left=) (out of 300GB). Here are  only some of them. 

my desk back in February and still looks the same


ear cuffs




choosing clothes for the photo shoot


Karlie and some ears


But now I'm off to Tallinn for the weekend and hopefully I'm back on Sunday with some good news;)

DIY Miu miu collar

This time I stole my DIY idea from Crushable.com . But who doesn't love Miu Miu?
I share some photos of the work-in-process with you though it's probably not very hard to figure out how to make that collar yourself.

*print out or draw yourself some swallows (or cats, daisys, naked lady) and use those as stencil. 

*cut the collar off a old men's shirt


*draw swallows on the collar, first with pencil and the with fabric marker (follow the instruction written on the marker's package).


*and you're done! well, my swallows don't look the most perfect ones but who cares;) 

ReUse Republic

As I told you there's was a Reuse Republic fair in Tartu on last weekend. Everything went great.. I think. I decided to share some photos with you.

And I even managed to find time for making two more ear cuffs, here they are:

redesigned jewelry by Helen Valk

I fell in love with this military inspired shirt made out of a old men's shirt (by Anna Aksjonova)

jewelry made out of old vinyl records


and fancy blouse redesigned by Kirill Safonov

Yesterday was pretty windy and creepy weather outside so we decided to take some photos. I got chance to wear my maxi-length cardidan and Tuuli wore a jacket made by me.





Don't forget to watch this little video clip about judges choosing the finalists for ERKI fashion show

Visited sevaral thrift stores and flea market yesterday and got loads of new stuff. Here I'm having fun with my new green blouse. I'm still in the military trend mood so that's exactly what I needed. With cute little pocket and lace-up. 


PS! Some of you sent me a interview request while ago but my mailbox moved it to the junkmail so I accidentaly deleted that mail, sorry. So can you please send it again;)? I'd love to do that interview. thanks

Mirror, mirror on the wall..

We had a little Prada SS 2010 inspired photo shoot with Tuuli to show you my new sunglasses, which I got from a thrift store today. (the shopkeeper was so kind and give them me for free;)

YSL wannabe

Last night magic happend to me. Okay, not really. I was going through the box I got from ReUse Republic to make new jewelry. And then I saw this weird old broken cuff. I was like wait, wait, isn't it looking like a Yves Saint Laurent Oval ring. Okay, not exactly but anyway.. I have my own wannabe YSL ring now. I wouldn't call it a DIY project - just a ridiculously lucky coincidence;)

here's the original ysl oval ring - my dream ring. I've been wanting it since..forever. Well actully I would take turquoise version if I had to choose


and here's mine

ReUse Republic

ReUse republic is an Estonian environment friendly fashion project, where designers and high street brands collaborate - fashion designers use leftovers from high street shops to redesign them. New clothes, accessories and jewelry are sold at special fairs at big shopping malls. One this kind of fair takes place in Tartu on next week.
This time I also got a chance to design for them.


On Thursday I received big box full of... crap - old broken jewelry and leftovers from different stores. It was hard to find something usable from this box but still managed to found something.. Here's what I've done so far:

some ear cuffs


also as seen here (in the 2nd photo)



ring


feather ear cuff


spike ring

this caused a huge mess on my table

raw

I feel so productive today. Made two knuckle rings - one with sideways cross and the other one big amethyst cluster



And hopefully I can show you a closer look of the other jewelry in this photo tomorrow;)

DIY - ALEXANDER WANGx LINDA FARROW sunglasses

I got a idea to DIY Alexander Wang zipper shades while ago. Last weekend I found a perfect pair of sunnies just for 2$. It was really simple - glasses + zipper + glue;)

Here's the Wang's version (by the way the price of this pair is about 3200$)

and here's mine:
