CRB Does Protective Hairstyling :)

Hello Lovelies!!

I hope your week is going by well!!!! I love you all! So, I've been introduced to this new site called Urban Bush Babes and I have been absolutely obsessed! This site is a fusion of thrifted style and natural hair all on one site! The ladies are huge promoters of protective hairstyles all year round! I've noticed it is a great way to add character to any outfit. Today I was go for thrifted vintage :)

What do you ladies think? 

CRB Studded Collar DIY

Hello Lovelies!

I'm not sure if you all can tell, but I have been in a extreme DIY, creative state of mind lately. 

While surfing on my favorite site, American Apparel, I got the great idea to transform a thrifted brown button down, into a chic sleeveless shirt with silver studs on the collar! That is just what I did! 

I will give you ladies the cool steps on how to create this look for your up and coming summer wardrobe.

Ladies you have the option to buy studs online, or do what I did and recycle some :)

This was an old purse I didn't carry much, I decided to use the square studs to place on my shirt.

For this DIY you will need:

1. Studs (gold or silver)

2. Fabric Glue (NOT HOT GLUE, ladies this will destroy the fabric of your top)

3. Old or Thrifted button down

4. Fabric Scissors (or normal scissors)

5.Sewing Machine

 1. Decide how you want to attach your studs

(TIP: it is better to just attach them on the tip of the collars since it will create a heavy collar)

2. Attach with your fabric glue

3. Allow collar to dry for 48 hours.

4. In order to achieve the sleeveless look, cut sleeves with a fabric scissors and sew frayed edges (turn shirt inside out)

 5. Wear as you please

(I like to wear it buttoned to the first button to show off the studs)

 Enjoy :)

OOTD: Vintage Inspiration

 Hello Dolls!!!

Please do not disown me :(

I finally found a way to snap some pictures for an OOTD. It's not the BEST method, but the only method I have until I get a photographer. I love this outfit so I had to share it!! The entire outfit is Goodwill Thrifted :)

What do you ladies think?

 I love this scarf I actually made it from a thrifted, over-sized sweater and just cut the bottom half.

 I've been playing around with different textures and prints lately! 

 Please excuse my room

CRB DIY Challege

Hello Lovelies!!!

So I've been thinking, I really want a pair of those American Flag shorts that my two favorite style icons have been seen sporting this past summer. It's my turn, but I will be taking on the challenge of making my own pair. I have a pair of old Torrid jeans I will be turning into shorts, and I will be sketching the design on to the shorts. The only thing is I need to by red, white, and blue fabric paint to get this DIY on the road. 

Can't wait to give you guys the 411 on these shorts:)  

I love you all
