Inspiration by YouTube!

Hello!

Just wanted to share a few of my favorite YouTube channels that I find totally inspiring! All of the channels have various ideas and tutorials that keep me inspired when it comes to fashion, make-up and DIY projects!

1) ThreadBanger!

First ThreadBanger is an amazing place to find all kinds of  DIY sewing and gift ideas. I watch it sort of excessively at times. Most often hosted by the adorable Corinne, the tutorials and rated from beginner to advanced and are explained in great detail which are easy to follow along with.

2) Pixiwoo

Next when it comes to Make-up I can trust that Pixiwoo will be able to show me something new and amazing in products and technique. Nic and Sam are just amazing women. The tutorials are very informative; the women are both masterful in their trade as well as gorgeous and funny!

3) Robin Moses

I have seen a lot of nail art tutorials but none like the ones of  Robin Moses Nail Art Robin has an art background which makes her designs really different and the coolest I have ever seen. Her tutorials may be a bit hard for a beginner but are very inspiring just the same! Even if you are not into nails watching her work is amazing :)

The Beautiful Robin Moses!

4) Michelle Phan

Thrift Store Figurine Make Over

Hello!

My friend Ian and I like checking out all the junk in thrift stores. Obviously there are some great finds but also lots of strange unwanteds, sad wedding dresses and bizarre clown paintings (wonder why someone didn't want those!)

The other day I found this dreadful figurine: Dirty cracked and a little cutesy for my taste... I could see her in my mind! Made over into this sort of Alice in Wonderland meets Nightmare Before Christmas sort of idea! So I bought her and saved her from that terrible metal shelf!























I would love to see other ideas you may have to refurbish an item! Thanks for reading. :)

Inspired by Free People

Hello!

I was doing some trend research for a project and was directed to a site called www.freepeople.com
The clothes, shoes, and accessories are really gorgeous and inspiring. It is a little pricey for my budget but they do have some decent sale items under $30 ( I realize that can still be high for most folks including me :)). I saved many photos from the site just to refer back to anytime I need ideas or inspiration. I have plans to do a DIY post based on an piece from the site :). Below are some of the items I found most amazing!

 Fuax fur! Yay!



















 Please let me know what kinds of things keep you inspired!
