Tuesday night I had the pleasure of stopping by Fenton Fallon in NYC, an amazing little boutique tucked away on the Lower Eastside in Freeman’s Alley. Hosted by owner and creator of Fenton Fallon, Dana Lorenz, guests walked in to find tables full of chains, pendants, spikes and sparkly strands…aka a DIY paradise.

I was super exhausted from the flight into NYC via red eye earlier in the day, but the intimate charm and beats from DJ Belle Du Jour (aka India Jewel Jackson, also with Glam.com) helped me perk up and get my creative on right away. The special cocktails from U’Luvka Vodka and Cookies.com treats also paid homage to a room full of stylish, happy girls. Check out how I did and all the photos after the jump.

I’ve done some similar DIY projects in the past and think this one could be easy. I’m not really feeling how Topshop styled it with the neon, but have some other ideas in mind. Also, I can’t decide if I’m over the cut-up layered clothes…

What do you think? Should I do it?

It’s been a little while since my last DIY, but I’ve been storming up some ideas over the past few weeks and am excited to share the latest. This one involves transforming a Forever 21 belt into studded, borderline bondage, ankle cuffs.

I wasn’t necessarily trying to accomplish a specific style, but I think I was subconsciously channeling Balmain. I’ve also been looking for a reason to wear my gladiator wedges again.
