I’ve been hard at work on the upcoming issue of Style Sample Magazine, due to drop (I say that as if it’s an album, yo!) at StyleSampleMag.com on August 4th. Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out!
Here’s a peek at the cover:
Let’s hope I get the rest done by deadline! I sense a loooong weekend ahead…

Do-It-Yourself, Fashion blogs, Tips and Advice
While I’m much too busy lazy to actually do anything about it, I’ve always loved the idea of do-it-yourself fashion. Unfortunately–or maybe fortunately–the height of my forays into hand-crafted apparel and accessories peaked right around the time of neon puffy paints and Jams shorts.
However, my generosity compels me to share some of the best DIY tutorials from talented bloggers across the web. From bib necklaces to Miu Miu-inspired minis, here are some great ways to further personalize your look, glitter not included:
From “The Miu Miu inspired skirt tutorial”, Kingdom of Style
From “DIY: Studded jeans and more”, Miss at la Playa
From “How to: Scissor a baggy shirt into a bitchin’ top”, Cheap JAP
From “Glamourai DIY/Candied Crumbcatcher”, The Glamourai (cover girl for Style Sample Magazine issue 2!)
From “Welcome to my Bleach Party”, Femme Rationale (Style Sample Magazine issue 1 cover girl! Hmmm…is there a pattern here?)
Have you done any interesting DIY projects lately? Share so I can get all excited and then not do it!

Notice how I didn’t use the over-used, incredibly predictable reference to jewelry as “bling” for the title? You can thank me with cash.
I am heavy into jewelry right now, especially dramatic necklaces. Let’s take a look at the lovely pieces recently seen on a few of my favorite bloggers:
I love this combination of heavy gold necklaces, and the length is perfect. http://theseams.blogspot.com/
This vintage gold necklace is a great accent under blouses as it lies perfectly on the collarbone. http://www.jaylovesvintage.blogspot.com/
Okay, maybe the belt is not technically jewelry, but the punk-ish snake motif and combination of rings is so badass. http://www.thatschic.net/
An infinity-shaped pendant with dangling accents on a silver chain might sound weird at first, but obviously it works. http://vintage-tea.blogspot.com/
This goth/medieval/dominatrix-inspired necklace is amazing. ‘Nuff said. http://www.wr2bam.com/
A while ago, I posted about an idea for a magazine for and about fashion bloggers. Well, due to a combination of much-appreciated encouragement and extreme willfulness, I’ve been pushing forward and hope to publish the first issue in April thanks to some very generous and talented blogger-friends.
I am extremely excited/hopeful/stressed/fired up/nervous about this project, and have been vacillating between feverishly scribbling down ideas about all the possibilities and trying to focus on producing the first issue before I become completely delusional.
I’ll keep you up to date on how things are going, and will continue to post news and info over at the other blog. In the meantime, please know that I cannot even begin to express how much I appreciate your encouragement and support, and will do all I can to return the favor someday!
Thank you!
