DIY Faux Fur Snood

I would say again "It is freeezzzzing" over here in Minneapolis and along with the single digit temperatures, the wind chill is predicted to be in the negative teens tomorrow and such low temps wind chill makes it even colder as it already is. Our high temp for today was just 0 degree fahrenheit and I was bundled up and layered like an onion as I headed out the door this morning.

As I lay down to relax after my dinner, I figured it might be a good day to do a blog post on a recent DIY snood that I made for my christmas outfit. I took pictures as I worked on my fabric and saved them for this post. It's my first DIY blog post or pictorial so pardon me if I am not so exact with measurements and descriptions.

                                                                                                      DIY SNOOD

1. I got half a yard of black color faux fur fabric from the fabric store (about $49.99 a yard at my local fabric store) and I just spread it out on a table.
2. I used a soft brush lightly on it in a straight direction to get rid of the excess fibre and other FM (foreign material) from the edges of the fabric.

3. I flipped the fabric over and examined it properly to make sure there were no holes or snags of any sort then I got my needle and thread ready.

 4. I flipped one edge of the fabric over to the middle of the fabric.

5. I continued to fold that edge of fabric till I had it half way to the middle straight across to the end of the fabric.

6. I flipped the other half of the fabric over to the middle too and used a needle and thread to sew the two ends together in a straight line from one end of the fabric to the other.

7. This is what the fabric would look like after sewing it straight across; you can then join and sew the two ends together.

8. This is the final product; it should be loose enough to go over your head and snug enough to give a good fit around your neck. So, just make adjustments based on your fabric and head/shoulder measurements. I made mine based on my fabric and did not use head/shoulder measurements. Also, I used the entire half yard of fabric for it and only took of about three inches when it was too loose then I just sewed the ends together again. If you are in the arctic region and dealing with all the cold and snow this winter, please,  stay warm, safe  and fabulous.

                                                                      See full Post of the outfit here.

The Bucket bag; the new "It" bag is so chic and versatile. It can go from day to evening easily and has really taken the cross body bag to a whole new level. Bucket bags have been around for quite some time though but they would make bigger statement this spring and summer. There is also a nice selection across the board in terms of prices as a lot of designers and stores roll out their designs. This is one trend I would definitely like to indulge in.

The day after the V-Day

Happy Sunday Friends; I hope you had a blast yesterday and that the weekend is going great. I just wanted to share the OOTD for the day after Valentine. You know, the love continues. Most of us were all glammed up and cute yesterday and it won't be a good idea to just turn around today and be a "whoosh" whatever that means...:-). So, in order to keep the glamour going for this special sunday, I decided to wear something very feminine and soft and simple and this floral hem faux wrap maxi skirt was my first choice. I got it from Macys on sale a while back.

The black cowl neck top was a great alternative to a regular turtle neck or as opposed to just using a scarf. Boy! it is cold!! It is only 7 degrees in the twin cities today and it's been cloudy all day. In fact, we are not going to see any sun until wednesday the weather report says. So, it was very essential to dress in layers today but I had to find a way to be layered up and still be glam.

Cowl neck sweater and skirt: Macys
Purse: Vintage Relic
Booties: Victoriassecret
Tights: Express

Pardon my chipped nails; I did a quick manicure this morning but it wasn't that great...:-).

Uuhhh, I had to adjust my purse straps though my son was saying "Mum, hurry up!" I just had to include this picture and his statement because I know he would be reading this blog someday...:-). Okay, here goes my quick post. We have a birthday party to attend this evening and I will let you know how it goes. I intend to wear something very simple and fun.

Thanks so much for stopping by

1 Corinthians 13:4-8New International Version (NIV)

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
