Gobble Gobble Gear

I wanted to wear something casual chic this year for Turkey Day and thought that this was the right 'fit. I had planned to rock my fro but I didn't like how it was looking (I'm sure it would have looked fine to everyone else but you know how it is...), so I pinned it up into this fun hairstyle.



Top- Danice $10
Belt- Forever21 $9.80
Leggings- Conway $5
Boots- Nicole (by way of DSW) Cost me around $100-$110
Earrings- made by me =)

Print Fabric Earrings

I hope everyone enjoyed their Turkey Day! I'm pooped. Mine consisted of lots of eating, drinking, and dancing. Lol.

Check out these earrings that I made on the fly; whipped them up 10 mins before I left the house for Thanksgiving dinner at my cousin's. I luv standing out and wearing unique and original things. Everyone loved them and wanted a pair. This is just the prototype but I see that it received warm responses. =) So that energizes me even more to perfect the style so I can add them to the shop.



If you love natural hair, check out my kinky-kurly-koily beauty and style blog. I have a giveway going on over there till the end of next week for a chance to win one of my fabric flower clips.

Be creative!

Don't Sleep On K-Mart

I was in K-Mart the other day looking for something completely different when I walked past the accessories section. Not only did this bag catch my eye, it stopped me dead in my tracks. The style of it was so me and it was marked 40% off. I snapped it up so fast, you would have thought I was engulfed in Black Friday madness.



I can't wait to wear it out.

I'm also on the fence about possibly changing the name of this blog. I dunno. I just feel like it needs a new name. Like Styln N Profyln isn't live enough anymore. It's too tame. We'll see.... The deliberation begins. Enjoy your Turkey Day!

Sofysticated Phunk Photo Shoot

I've added some new fabric flower clips to my Etsy shop, Sofysticated Phunk, so I did a photo shoot to highlight them so you will want to buy and rock them!



Head on over. I'll be adding more items in the weeks to come. I plan to sell some denim earrings as well. I just have to perfect some things before I put them on the market. Making my lil prototypes taught me a lot and gave me ideas.

Stay tuned!

Upcoming Project: Asymmetrical Party Dress

I def wanna make a party dress like this. Except I want to reconstruct a thrift store dress into this style. It'd be so dope if I could find a polka dot dress to do it to...... The hunt begins!

Denim Earrings

Who's BAD?

Hahaha. I couldn't help myself. I just had to say it.





But aren't these denim earrings that I made bad?! I'm luvin them and how cheap and easy they were to make. I explained in my last post how I imagined they were made so check it out if you are interested in learning how.

Supplies I Used:
* Denim fabric-you could use canvas fabric as well (any stiff fabric is going to be good for this type of project)
* Iron-on appliques- mine were $1.99 ea at Michaels
* Earring hooks-I got a 60 pc pack for $2.99 at Michaels
* 6mm Jump rings-I got a 144 pc pack for $2.99 at Michaels
* Pair of jewelry making pliers-to twist open and close jump rings, I also used it to poke a hole into the fabric where the jump ring goes into



I learned that to make the fabric stiffer, you can try adding interfacing and another piece of denim onto the other side. I'm going to see if there's some kind of transparent paint or finish that you can apply to the denim to stiffen it that way.

If you want a tutorial, just let me know. I'd be more than happy to do one. Have fun with making these! I'm now going to be collecting appliques. Lol.

These def would make nice, RECESSION FRIENDLY, Christmas gifts. They don't break the bank and are full of your originality, creativity and thought. =)

Stay Chic and Creative!

Truly Inspired by CocoGyrl1da

How creative she is! I luv'd every pair I saw. Check out her channel on YouTube to see more of her work.

The crafter in me got to thinking I can make earrings like those but with my own spin on them and you can too if you're crafty like me.

Ya wanna know how?

Well, it looks like most of the pairs she simply applied appliques onto pieces of denim and then cut the denim to whatever shape she desired. From there, she added the earring hook parts. That's it!

So, ya girl is going to try this out and be back with pics of my creations. Try it out with me. I plan to make a pair TODAY! Sooooo excited!

"Cao-Girl" Shirt

Cao is pronounced like cow.......

So here's one of my latest projects that I completed. This was simple and took under an hour to complete. I luv how mine turned out. I used a (size LG) mens shirt that I bought from a Goodwill thrift shop for $5.





Below is the SecretLifeOfaBioNerd vid with instructions how to make it. I just luv her channel. Subscribe to her channel if you haven't already! Very fun and easy creation. Try it out!

One Piece Wearables

This. Book. ROCKS. All the designs patterns in the book require no pattern or only ONE pattern piece. And the designs are fresh, uber chic and simple. It's great for beginners and advanced sewers as well.

I'm finishing up the "window shopping" dress from the book and when I'm finished will share it with you on here. So far it's looking great. I already plan to make another one.

Fall Patterns I Bought

Hancock Fabrics had a sale last week for $0.99 for Butterick patterns. I was still in Cincinnati and had went with my mom so we were all over it! There was a 10 pattern limit so I ended up getting 8 that I really wanted. I had 2 other patterns I really wanted but my size was sold out. :( Oh well, I'll get them later.

So, here's the patterns that I got:



Going clockwise starting with the blouse pattern to the left:

B5284
B5388
B5394
B4985
B5224


I can't wait to create stuff with them.



Starting from the left:

B5329
B5278
B5318

I want more dress patterns (a lot of them with my size were sold out. boo!). I'm really diggin dresses these days. They're uber simple and the epitome of femininity.

I plan on rocking them out this fall and winter with stalkings and knee high boots.
