I SPY DIY STYLE…A BOOK REVIEW
Book description from Amazon:
Loved it on the runway? Seen it in a magazine?
Find fashion you love and do it yourself! With a few simple supplies and a range of clever ideas, DIY expert Jenni Radosevich shows you how to make style your own. Transform your basics into designer fashions. Turn hardware store finds into statement necklaces or embellishments for a chic dress. Recreate red carpet-ready looks and add your personal touch.
Filled with 30 step-by-step projects inspired by celebrities, designer runways, and classic styles, as well as tips from fashion insiders such as Rachel Roy, Olivia Palermo, and Rebecca Minkoff, I Spy DIY Style has everything you need for easy-to-make looks that will up your style quotient without sacrificing your budget.
It's divided into four different sections: Red Carpet Ready, Right From The Runway, A Touch of Classic & Update Your Basics.
In the very beginning of the book it lists ALL the "basic tools" you will need before you get started. What I loved most about this is that it is basic everyday things. The only thing I didn't think was so basic was the jewerly pliers. The rest of the items won't be hard at all to get your hands on and you probably already have them in your house.
The projects are very well written and very clearly illustrated. If you have even the SLIGHTEST desire to DIY this book will help you out.
The book is available on preorder on Amazon, you can order it HERE.
You can also check their blog I SPY DIY.
If you would like a copy of this book leave a comment and I'll get the kids to pick a name and mail it out to you when a winner is picked!
Entry will close on the 15th!

Definitely looks like a book I would want to add to my already overflowing library. I’m always trying to figure out how to replicate something I see on the runway or magazines. Even if I don’t win I will definitely pick this up when it becomes available. I hope you’re feeling better.
