Due to the current global pandemic, we’re all getting used to wearing face masks when we leave the house. It’s very important that we wear REUSABLE and WASHABLE face masks in order to keep littering and landfill waste to a minimum.
But just because we are covering our faces, doesn’t mean we can't still showcase who we are!
Here are three easy ways to personalise your reusable face mask…
I LOVE this look and it goes along with my love of the environment. You can literally glue on ANYTHING that represents who you are.
I found these flowers and leaves at a local craft store in the “scrapbook” section. With the help of a little glue, I had an attention-grabbing unique face mask.
And now, you can too!
Adding a chain to the face mask is an editorial way to bring your love of high fashion into the practical garment we all have to wear these days. I used small jewelry rings to link a chain necklace that I already owned to elastic bands at the bottom of the mask. SO EASY!!!
And you can turn this back into a necklace whenever you’d like (we love multi-purpose items here)
This is by far the easiest way to make your face mask your own. Using fabric paint pens, draw on anything… literally ANYTHING you’d like.
Is there a message you want to spread? A design you like? Even if you’re not an artist, simple details, like polka dots, can make your mask more adorable than the rest.
And there you have it! Three easy but fun ways to stand out in a crowd of covered faces.
Which one will you try?
Love,
Ms. Melior
I am a huge advocate for using all of your clothes in your closet. Cardigans CAN be used for more than two or three seasons. As a matter of fact, you can wear them all year round. I found this cardigan a few seasons ago, and have been using it as a cardigan but then realized it has buttons and a tie-belt!!! What better way to re-purpose than to turn it into a dress!
After seeing post after post of this swoon-worthy dress on Instagram, I decided to finally give into my sewing FOMO and hop on the McCall’s M7969 train. And I’m so glad I did because this easygoing piece with a breezy feel could not be more perfect for spring!

Without further ado, let me show you how to sew a simple top so that you can make your own!
Spring is in the air, and I don’t know about you but just the littlest hint of sunshine has brightened my mood. I’m ready for all the fun outdoor activities that come with the warmer weather -- weekends at the winery, patio happy hours, park picnics and more! And of course, I’m ready to break out my spring outfits that have been hanging sad in my closet for months. If you, too, are looking for some spring outfit inspo, I’m sharing a few outfit ideas.
Mom jeans are really in at the moment. Once a second-choice pant, now people can’t get enough of their loose, roomy cut. They’re just as great for slouching around as they are for dressing up. I’m going to show you six easy to put together ways that you can style mom jeans.
When Summer strikes most people consider two options. Dig out last year's sandals from the closet -- or go buy new ones. Today we're going to try out the little-known third option.Make old sandals new sandals!Not only is the most financially responsible choice if your old sandals are still in great shape, but the health of the planet also fully supports this idea. But we're not using normal acrylic paint. No. Because that doesn't always work out in the long run -- you might end up with peely-cracky shoes that you have to pitch after a few wears. In this case we're trying out paint specially made for leather -- and so durable it's even reccomended for use on furniture. If it's trusted for my couch -- then I hoped it must be good enough to try on my sandals.
It’s no secret, I am a huge fan of sequins and sparkles ✨ While I realize that they’re not everyone’s cup of tea outside of Christmas/New Year’s, you can definitely make them work year round. Here are five outfits I put together throughout the past year that prove that you can wear sequins no matter the season.
The dictionary will describe colourblocking as..."nounnoun: color-blocking(in fashion and design) the use of contrasting blocks or panels of solid, typically bright colour."And it's a super fun way to style a look.

Sometimes when people see my photos on social media, they think that I’m at least 5’5’ or 5’6’. I’ll let you in on a secret - I’m 5’3’. This tutorial is for all of the shorties out there. I know that many short girls want to look taller, and it can be achieved by the way you dress. Before I dive into that, I want to emphasize that there is nothing wrong with being short, tall, skinny, or curvy. Women come in all shapes and forms, and we should embrace body diversity. So the question is not how to look like something you’re not but how to play with proportion and wear clothes that work for your body type. I’m going to show you exactly how to do that.

Have you ever had something in your head turn out to be even better than you imagined?

When you have a few classic pieces, like this dress and jacket, paired with a couple trendy accessories, the styling possibilities are endless. What's something you've been dreaming about? Hopefully this inspires you to turn your thoughts into reality!

Faux-leather pants are on-trend right now, and in my opinion, they are a classic and timeless piece.

Loafers are such a great shoe to own because they immediately make outfits look very dressed up and make you look put together, but they’re not uncomfortable like high heels are. They have a little bit of a heel, but it’s not too high - you don’t feel like you’re hobbling around. Invest in a good pair, and they will feature happily on your feet for years to come. Take a look at these three different ways that I have styled mine.

Let's talk about one of my favorite things: crop tops. I think that they're so versatile, and there are so many ways that you can style them. I've heard from friends that they don't feel comfortable wearing them because they say "I'm too old" or "I'm not a size 2". Girl, stop! You can wear a crop top. Crop tops come in very different shapes, sizes, and cuts. There are so many ways you can style them, and just because it's a crop top doesn't mean that you need to show a lot of skin. You can always style them in a way that is a bit more modest. You can also style them in a chic and put-together way; it doesn't have to be that crop top equals casual.I'm going to show you ways that I like to style my crop tops and ways that you can transform your regular t-shirts or shirts into a crop top, and the great thing about that is that you can adjust it so that it fits as loose or as tight as you want and as cropped as you want.
