Who says the canadian tuxedo should only be reserved for the fall and winter months? Layer on some lightweight chambray and call it a sweltering summer day!

A few fun DIYs around the interwebs that caught my attention (and I’m thinking about giving a shot this weekend):

Remember the t-shirt necklace tutorial I posted way back when? Dirty Hems just did a similar version with a really cool ombre twist!

When I was little, my mom was a genius with spray paint. She sprayed everything from furniture to appliances and little home accents, so when I saw I Spy DIY’s metallic gold clutch, my inner sprayer got a little excited.

I don’t own a sewing machine, so I love when I see awesome no-sew projects pop up in my reader! These easy leather clutches from my friend Anne at WobiSobi are perfect for fall.

Ya’ll know I love to hack up some jeans. When I saw these zig-zag cut-offs on Pinterest, I swooned.

I love an arm party just as much as the next girl, so I can’t believe I haven’t attempted to make my own stack of summer bracelets yet! Honestly WTF breaks down the wrap bracelet and the classic friendship bracelet beautifully.

I’d love to check out your DIYs, too! Link ’em up in the comments.

    happened earlier! I bookmarked it.
