    Nicole Smith is an editor at CraftStylish, a site dedicated to original do-it-yourself projects for home, fashion, wedding, and more. Below she shares how to sew your own bib necklace... and in turn, save yourself from a thousand-dollar debt at Neiman Marcus!


    While looking at the inspirational catalog from Neiman Marcus today, I came across this necklace by Ranjana Khan. The necklace retails for $1,200, and is very similar to this project I made for less than $20, which I call the "Bijoux Necklace." My original inspiration for this project was a necklace by Burberry from their Fall '08 collections. Chunky jewels have been a runway staple the past few seasons, embellishing everything from shoes and headbands to hemlines and jewelry. Get the look quickly with organza (don't worry; it's easy to sew) and faux jewels. A ribbon makes the necklace adjustable for a chocker length or longer. You can also enlarge or reduce the size of the template to any dimensions you like. You'll need: 1/4 yard of organza, 3/4 yard of 5/8-inch-wide velvet ribbon, assorted sew-on jewels, scissors, a sewing machine, a hand-sewing needle, and thread. Get the full step-by-step instructions, along with the pattern's template, on CraftStylish!

    Hive 5: Beads From Sui, Stella McCartney and More!

    Beads, beads and more beads, these delicate, intricate, and ornately patterned pieces will surely become family heirlooms. Today's Hive 5 not only brings drama to your accessories collection, but gossip as well! It seems that the Anna Sui bag that I've featured was not designed by Anna Sui! For someone known for her gusto in the creativity department it seems unfathomable that she would make an exact copy of a bag someone in her camp purchased from dorotheasclosetvintage.com (check out her website, maybe you'll find something from Anna's next collection...) but really, down to each and every bead that seems to be the case! Along with this controversial purse, I've selected an exquisite sequined bib necklace from Marni (perfect for the bohemian artist type), a BeaValdes necklace which is just the look for to fit this season's statement necklace criteria, and stunning evening bags from Matthew Williamson and Stella Mccartney. Explore my picks in the SLIDESHOW!
