Trunk Show Preview: Petite Bag and Make Up Bag

Photobucket

Even though it is full-on Fall, I cannot seem to set aside soft, lovely colors and patterns. In my world, they are gorgeous year round!
This petite bag is just the right size for your essentials: phone, wallet, keys, camera and lipgloss. I made the straps just long enough for you to slide an arm thru but you can still carry it as a handbag if you choose.
These will be in a variety of colors and patterns at some of the upcoming trunk shows. As will this perfect little make up bag.

This bag is 12″ long with a zipper enclosure so none of your mineral powder dusts the bottom of your purse! It is roomier than the picture allows but still small enough to toss in your bag.
More of these bags to come…as well as coordinating travel sets!

Anthro Knock-Off: Scrappy Scarf Necklace

Remember this Anthropologie Scarf Necklace from our Monochromatic Challenge?

Source

$148 was just a little too much for me to spend (apparently it wasn’t too much for others because the necklace has since sold out!) on an accessory, so I attempted to whip up my own version using scrap fabric.  Here is what I came up with:

I loved ripping strips of fabric and piecing together scraps for the scrappy version of the original!

Twisting the fabric gave it a whole new look!
I went a little crazy and made 4 necklaces (two of which we immediately claimed by my friend Marcy from K.a.i-y.a.)
I thought this twisted stacked looked was awesome for the winter!

This was a really fun way to make my scrap bin into something trendy for the fall!  What do you think?
