Trend Spotting: Hits and Misses at the MET Ball 2012

Hola, lovelies!

As EVERYONE in fashion (and even some who aren't) knows the MET Ball was held last week and celebs flooded Manhattan in their runway best. Obvious trends of the night ranged from sequins to feathers and while no one managed to show up looking like a complete Vegas showgirl (except for you, Karolina Kurkova, you're debatable) some celebs nailed the look while others completely missed the mark. Here are my hits and misses:

Hanging Jewelry Holder

It's a two-fer!
(Just like from my favorite show, 30 Rock!)
This jewelry holder was inspired by a beautiful, but terribly overpriced, holder I saw on Hautelook a couple weeks ago. Theirs was a bit different - it had vinyl in place of the mesh I used, and the fabric covered the entire hanger in their model. Since I already made a couple at-home jewelry holders I decided to make one that could travel with me as well and thus, this was born.

Instructions are below if you'd like to make your own.

Chic Sheets!

Who knew bed sheets could be so chic, right!?
So I've been meaning to post this since yesterday but apparently Blogger hates me so..
yeah.
Anyway, here it is! How to make a very cute maxi skirt from a full-sized bed sheet.
All you need is a sheet, a sewing machine, matching thread, pins, a zipper (or hook and eye) and about two hours of spare time!

(P.S. Mom, please don't let this deter you from giving me free sheets again!!)
