Well guys, summer is upon us and school is finally over! Well almost.
In honor of prom, we're making a DIY accessory that is as good as gold when it comes to spicing up your date's duds or your elegant dress. This will be a night to remember so forget about trying to save a dying flower in a box for the rest of your life. This DIY memento will last forever.
Take a date night style tip from the queen of corsages, Carrie Bradshaw. She's the inspiration for this week's StyleHive project!
What you'll need-
-Scissors
-Needle and Thread
-Brooch pin
-1/2 yard square of fabric of your choice (just be sure to choose something lightweight! Organza or a sheer silk works great!)
Step 1 - Staring from the edge, cut the fabric into a round spiral shape. The end result should appear as one long and narrow ruffle.
Step 2 - Thread your needle leaving 2 inches of thread from the knot and sew a loose stitch along the edge of your fabric. Knot and snip the end.
Step 3 - Holding the excess thread in one hand, push the fabric so that it gathers at one end.
Step 4 - Sew on the pin so that it holds together the 'stem' of your flower corsage.

Calling all Carrie Bradshaw fans! If you're into Sex and the City then you're probably a fan of Carrie's amazing wardrobe. I've spent many an episode lusting over everything in her closet from the flamboyant shoes to her sexy bags. I love to incorporate a little bit of Bradshaw in my style whenever I can and this feather clutch by ASOS is a great piece that embraces the essence of Carrie without being too over the top. I love the color of this bag (pink and gray just looks amazing together!) and the feathers really help this bag stand apart from everything else! It's got a clasp closure so you won't lose your precious cargo, and it's deceptively big enough to hold all kinds of goodies. This sophisticated bag is all you need to create the perfect city look. It's quirky, it's cute it's fun, it's so Bradshaw! So, here's to one of our favorite fashionistas, may her style live on!
