Where I’m Hiding: InstaGram

I’ve recently been retracting myself; deactivating my Facebook and personal Twitter, as well as spending less time on Tumblr.
At first, it was because I was working on so many DIY projects, but then it became something more and immensely liberating. I haven’t officially deleted anything yet, though, because I know from a marketing.networking standpoint I need to maintain as many connections as I can; but for the time being I’m happy to be socially ‘free’.

Anyway, I still have my EffortlessCool Twitter and InstaGram, so here’s a few snippets of what I’ve been showcasing there (also because I’ve had no one to help me take outfit photos in weeks).

Follow me on InstaGram: Username EffortlessCoolSahra . I also post many, MANY photos of my cat, Maven. You’ve been warned.

DIY Slouchy Clutch

I’ve been feeling creative lately and been dying to create something using this greyscale “fuck” fabric my roommate had lying around. With the laptop clutch craze going around, I decided that’s what I needed.

Next, was the hunt for the perfect sized, shade, and priced zipper. I ended up at B&Q Trimmings on 38th street, which was sooo much cheaper in everything than M&J and also much more helpful! Safe to say I’ll be going back for all my trimmings and non-fabric needs.

Now, for the pictures: I started by cutting the fabric, sewing the bottom and parts of the sides, then sewing the zipper on.

Maven got in the way a little. It came out alright; I forgot I hadn’t sewn anything since I was 18 but it was great to get back on a machine. Then, I modeled it in what I wore for the day!

As you can see I have some BRIGHT new hair, done by my good friend and soon to be recent beauty school graduate, Sarah. She’s amazing and had done my hair before when I had the red with blonde ! 😀

Enjoy, and hopefully there will be more DIY’s to come.
