    Nicole Smith is an editor at CraftStylish, a site dedicated to fashionable how-tos and do-it-yourself crafts. Below she introduces a fun project in which you can embellish clothing yourself with exposed zippers.

    Zippers have come a long way over the years; they're used in everything from garments and shoes to accessories and home decor. You may install a zipper simply to let you in and out of a garment, but why not make it stylish at the same time? In the Spring '09 issue of SewStylish, couture sewer Anna Mazur showed you how to insert zippers four ways. Here is one of the techniques inspired by many designers including Marni. When installing an exposed zipper, you can throw all the zipper-insertion rules out the window. Turn the seam allowances to the right side, topstitch the zipper over them to conceal the fabric edges, and let the zipper tape show on the outside of the garment. You can choose a matching or contrasting zipper for even more stand-out style. Click on over to the CraftStylish blog for the full step-by-step instructions... then get sewing!

    Bag Of The Week: The Marni Acrylic Detail Clutch

    Some bags scream" look at me!" - they're bold in color, rich in hardware, loaded with patent shine, or all of the above. Others blend into the background- they're neutral in shade, lack excess embellishment and don't venture into uncharted silhouettes. And then there are those in between that bring on compliments and gazes based on sheer uniqueness, a hint of something fresh, and an artistic touch. Marni's Acrylic Detail Clutch fits into the latter grouping. The shape? Nothing new- a simple frame, coin-purse-like style clutch. The soft, graphite grey color doesn't immediately catch they eye either. It's about the little acrylic and multicolor bead that accents the clutch. What is it? Upon first look, I saw a butterfly. Now, I think it's falling flower petals. The detailing isn't grand, but it will keep your girlfriends in conversation wondering, "Where did you get that clutch?" I'm certain many will not purchase this clutch. For one, it is expensive for today's market. And two, not everyone will get how or when to wear it. For those who can afford and do get this stroke of bag-a-licious genius, send pictures, and think of me as you enter your credit card number.
