diy: feather trimmed fedora

PhotobucketPhotobucket
Ohhhh the fedora - a go-to on bad hair days, the perfect accomplice to help you hide from the world, a kepi warmer during winter months, a summer staple and a street style win. With so much to offer Soph and I figured why not tszuj one up for our latest DIY?

All you need is a hat, feathers, some glue, scissors and approximately 20 minutes. Easy peasy.

For more detailed instructions on our feather fedora head

recipe: banana chocolate chip muffins

Tis the season of holiday parties (fa la la la la, la la la la) and this year I vow NOT to pick up bottles of wine on the way to each soirée. Talk about a colossal waste of shoe money. Are you with me?

With that, I tested out this recipe as a potential gift contender and they are a total win. You can make them in large quantities (3 stops in one night...no problem), they're muy tasty and easy for the host to serve with just a napkin (who wants a gift that means more dish-washing?).

Full recipe right this way.
