{BELTS - Buy it or Make it?} Noas' Libellule obsession

Hiya guys! Happy Wednesday! And welcome to the wonderful world of B.E.L.T.S... I looooveee belts, they can colour, style of an outfit, make a statement... So here is my selection!


1. Add a splash of colour with the Whistle plaited rope, Asos; 2. A bargain skinny belt totally on trend, F21; 3. Show you love for animal print with this Fausto Colato Cavallino Leopard Print belt, My Theresa; 4. I love that pretty Burberry Prorsum Leather Wrap Belt, My Theresa; 5. Or buy a cheaper version with this Leather Obi Belt, Asos; 6. or the Buckled Elastic Belt, F21, 7. Splash out on this Etro Wide woven cotton-blend belt, Net-a-Poter; 8. Summery J Crew knotted belt, Net-a-Porter; 9. My favourite is the Day Birger et Mikkelsen belt, DAY.



This is my pinterest styling inspiration... I love the rock chick look of this Stockholm style shot (first picture).



There are some gorgeous items out there. But I am very excited about the beautiful {Make it} projects I found.



Mary at Craft Buds has made this lovely Fabric Wrap Belt. Her tutorial makes it sound very easy, so go and check it out. I love the colour she chose, it looks great with that dress!




For a different look, but oh so so cute result, here is the 100layercake ruffled belt. It would look great for a wedding, and would add un-je-ne-sais-quoi to any bland dress.


Finally the must-have of this season (I counted 5 people wearing one during my 10 minute walk to work this morning) - the skinny bow belt. Sarah's tutorial is bang on trend, and gives you easy steps to make your own!





So what is your favourite? I must admit I love my belts to be quite wide.. I do like some ruffles though, it could totally change the look of some of plainer dresses... OOOOhhh so many possibilities!!

Noas' Libellule {Pinterest inspired}

Hello hello! So how are you getting on with your IKAT project? Are you loving the pompom fork technique? You should try it, honestly it is all very easy.

You will remember a couple of weeks ago I made a post with my latest pinterest obsession: pouches with lace. It is all coming along nicely, more to come next week - in time for the next wedding I am attending (yes, another one!).

Well, thanks to Pinterest I am seriously obsessed with braided necklaces - I have in fact a board dedicated to braided object - and there are a couple in particular I am hoping to get, one way (shopping) or another (making it).


From shopbob.com, except that it is not available anymore... Fear not, I am working on a DIY project.


From Bebe, love the sparkle and untidy aspect of it.

So what do you reckon, worth being obsessed about? What are your current obsessions?
